3.  Objective
 Introduction
 What is flexible electronics?
 Construction of e-paper
 How the image seen on the e-paper ?
 Functionality of e-paper
 The challenges
 Advantages & Disadvantages
 Applications
 Future scenario
 Conclusion

4. To understand the electronic flexible display
To reduce the breaking of glass of mobile phones
To reduce the extra weight in your pocket for carrying
smartphones

5.  Electronic paper was first developed in the 1970s
by Nick Sheridon
 First electronic paper called Gyricon
E-Paper is portable, re-usable and storage
display device
It works by using E-Ink technology. E-Paper is
of two types i.e., Non-flexible and flexible

6.  Flexible electronics also known as flex circuits,
is a technology for assembling electronic circuits
by mounting electronic devices on flexible plastic
substrates
Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are
normally used instead of a back-light for flexible
displays.
What is Flexible Electronics?

7. Flexible Display

8.  Revolutionary material called graphene is
used for exciting possibilities Flexi-tech’s.
 Super strong and incredibly thin, graphene
will allows us to make flexible components
that are practically indestructible and perfect
for use in bendy new gadgets.

9.  It has two different parts
a) Front plane
b) Back plane
 To form an E-ink electronic
display the ink is printed
onto a plastic film that is
laminated to a layer of
circuitry

10.  Electronic Ink is a paper like
display used primarily in eBook
readers
 E Ink technology works by using
tiny microcapsules
 The microcapsules contain both
positively charged white
particles and negatively charged
black particles.
10

11.  Initially voltage is applied across two
electrode plates of the microcapsule
 Black particle move to top of microcapsule
and white particle move to bottom of
microcapsule where they become visible,
making the pixel

14.  It uses microcapsules technology to produce
color display
 Every color has some particular voltage levels

15. The new paper phone is made of
two layers:
a) E-ink display
b) Flexible printed circuit
 The user actually chooses the
function by bending the PCB
We have software that collects the
values given by the bend sensor
These gestures are then fed into
a gesture-recognition engine

16.  Rugged
 Light weight
 Very thin
 The ability to curve,flex,roll,fold
 Portability
 Low power
 Non-breakable

17. Customer satisfaction and good profit margins
Commercialization of flexible display.
New plastic materials are needed to be
substituted for glass.

18.  LG Electronics
 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
 Front Edge Technologies
 GE Measurement & Control Solution
 PARC
 Thinfilm Electronics ASA

19. Lower cost in the future
Light weight & flexible
Wider viewing angles &
improved brightness
Better power efficiency
Portability & wearable
UV sensitivity
Less Lifetime
Expensive Manufacturing
Susceptible to water
Difficult to read in low
lighting conditions

20. Digital ID Tags
Digital Price Boards
Books, News Papers and
Magazines
Mobile phones and
gadgets with flexible display
units
APPLICATIONS

21. It could change the way you
receive daily news paper
Textbooks could be digitized on
E-Paper
More advanced wireless
capabilities

22.  The technology that is about to become commercial reality.
Flexible displays can be bent without being damaged, making
it possible to create products that are ultra-thin, almost
unbreakable and flexible.
 The potential for this technology can be considerable as the
ultimate goal to produce cheap mass-produced digital devices
that can be rolled up like paper. We believe the introduction of
flexible display will change the industry landscape.
