INTRODUCTION
A flexible display is a display whose form can be temporarily altered without affecting its functioning. In simpler words,
flexible displays can be bent, rolled, and twisted, without damage. It should be clarified that not every flexible display can
support extreme change in form. This report considers any display whose form can be reasonably altered as flexible.
After several years of uncertainty surrounding their commercial debut, flexible displays now appear closer to reality.
There can be no two opinions about the market potential for flexible displays. The idea of lending flexibility to such a
powerful communication mode as a display is laden with the potential of extremely rich and diverse revenue streams.
There are, however, compelling technical reasons that have held back flexible displays from a meaningful entry into the
market.
Present-day display technologies that use a rigid base have set the bar very high in terms of picture quality, rich video
support, technology upgrades, and competitive pricing. For years, designers of flexible displays have been making up their
minds about the ideal entry-level readiness for their products. The reason for their dilemma is that in a flexible display-
based product, flexibility is not restricted to displays. The entire back-end mechanism, as well as other components of the
device such as power supplies, and any other input/output modes, need to be flexible as well. Current conventional
displays service a wide range of devices. It will be nearly impossible for flexible displays to match that breadth in the near
future. Slowly but surely, stakeholders driving flexible displays are realizing that their products’ abilities will have to be
progressively enhanced.
The commercialization of flexible displays hinges squarely on the successful synthesis of a flexible substrate. Present-day
candidates for flexible substrate materials are derived mostly from organic molecules and compounds. These have poor
temperature resistance capabilities. Designers therefore cannot apply mainstream semiconductor fabrication techniques
to these substrates.
