Samsung developed its new 5-inch TFT-LCD display by applying amorphous silicon technology to transparent plastic substrates. Considered the next-generation in flat panel displays, this technology involves the use of pliable plastic instead of rigid glass in TFT-LCD production. The plastic will not break and the external design can be freely shaped making potential applications virtually limitless. The plastic TFT-LCD R&D project has… Read More

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd today announced the world's first a-Si (Amorphous Silicon) 2.6-inch TFT- LCD with VGA (300ppi) image quality. Using a-Si technology, mobile phone displays are now capable of projecting the same VGA format found on notebook PCs and desktop monitors. With almost seven times the resolution of a 42-inch high-definition LCD TV at 300 pixels per inch (ppi), an a-Si enabled mobile phone can be used as a high… Read More

In a news release today, Philips said they are getting closer to being able to produce “rollable displays.”  The displays combine active-matrix polymer driving electronics with a reflective “electronic ink” front plane on an extremely thin sheet of plastic. Philips publishes the current status of its technology in the February 1 issue of the scientific magazine Nature Materials. From the Philips press release:… Read More
