The flex AMOLED display was made using Plastic Logic's truly flexible oTFT backplane technology, combined with Novaled's
OLED frontplane materials.
The screen itself utilizes a Plastic Logic backplane & electrics and an E
Ink frontplane.
Lectum uses an electrophoretic
plastic frontplane and is the first flexible, glass - free display in volume production.
The display consists of a flexible, high resolution, printed active - matrix backplane driving an electronic
paper frontplane from US - based E Ink Corporation.
Our vision is to reach foldable and even stretchable displays using organic transistors — since our transistors are themselves fundamentally flexible, and in combination with truly
flexible frontplanes like OLED, the entire display can be made to fold in half.
The backplane is then laminated with an E
Ink frontplane, an array of microcapsules filled with electrically charged black and white pigments.
The first one aims to develop new high - performance amorphous polymers, and the second called ROBOLED aims to integrate organic thin - film transistors (TFTs) backplanes with
OLED frontplanes.
The slice on top is called
the frontplane — the respective display media driven and controlled by the backplane.
It uses the standard e-ink technology for
the frontplane.
