A light and flexible plasma tube array with a film substrate

Abstract

Abstract— The plasma tube array is expected to lead to the realization of wall‐sized displays. This method will realize an emissive‐type display with a flexible screen and an expandable screen size. We have investigated a plastic film substrate with display electrodes for use as a flexible screen and successfully developed the world's largest bendable emissive display (1000 × 128 mm). The operating voltage distribution was improved compared to that with a plate substrate, and a sufficient voltage margin was maintained.

“…A stable fixing method is needed to prevent gaps between the tube and the sheet. A technique of fixing these with adhesives on both sides of the plasma tube between the front and back electrode sheets has been developed as shown in Fig.5 (b) [4] .…”

A new world of display application produced by a super-large-area Luminous Array Film based on the film and plasma technologies

“…Using LAFi structure, we can make the display screen curved depending on how the glass tubes are placed in order; however, a flexible and stable display module is needed to achieve a curved screen in any curvature in order to meet the demands of the customers. A stable fixing method is needed to prevent gaps between the tubes and the sheet that affect the luminance and the defects of the display [9].…”
