“…Fluidic Self-Assembly (Alien Technologies) provides yet another way to introduce crystalline silicon to plastic. 104,105 It is arguable whether one can cost-effectively make high-resolution displays this way, but it is almost perfectly suited to ultralarge, low-resolution displays such as highway signs (where pixels may be ∼1 mm or more). In addition, smaller "microchips" would be costeffective for present-day high-resolution displays if suitable automated means of placing them are developed.…”

Techniques for manufacturing organic electronic devices [organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), photovoltaic cells, transistors, and solid-state memory] are reviewed and analyzed with respect to cost and market fitness in comparison to competitive approaches based on silicon electronics. The conclusions are (i) OLED displays will be successful using infrastructure largely borrowed from liquid crystal displays, because they provide fundamental customer value not dependent on lower cost; (ii) OLEDs for general lighting and organic–inorganic hybrid photovoltaic cells currently confront substantial barriers in cost and efficiency, but solutions appear feasible and would lead to very large volume businesses; (iii) organic crossbar memories are promising, but require innovations in driver architecture and interconnection; and (iv) organic transistors have not yet found a viable major market, but have great promise for highly customized, small-volume product runs using digital patterning techniques.

“…In their approach, silicon NanoBlock integrated circuits are applied to a polymeric substrate using a self-assembly process. 25 There have also been a number of studies on the effect of strain on TFTs 26 and novel configurations where they are lifted up on domes to sustain higher degrees of strain. 27 Another important technology to enable flexible displays is the polymer substrate and the thin conducting layer.…”

Abstract— We have developed a process that enables one to conform polymer‐dispersed liquid‐crystal (PDLC) displays into a particular shape indefinitely. Planar PDLC displays are first fabricated between indium tin oxide (ITO) coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. This fully functional display can then be conformed to a particular shape by heating above the glass‐transition temperature of PET and then allowing it to cool down to room temperature. The display retains its shape and is fully functional after processing. We have created spiral‐and wave‐like samples and have demonstrated their operation after the conformal process. The stress is relieved in the substrate by conforming. Temperature effects on polymer substrates were investigated for two types of polymer films (PET/ITO substrates and a conducting polymer PEDOT:PSS/PET substrate) to analyze the effects of temperature on the resistance and mechanics of the films under an applied uniaxial strain. We have found a decrease in contrast of the PDLC after conforming, but surprisingly, a reduced threshold voltage and reduced hysterisis occurs.
