A breakthrough technology for large area displays

Abstract

A breakthrough technology for a very large area display is developed. The display using a specialized liquid crystal polymer will have some of the most desired display characteristics. Various kinds of substrate can be used, glass, plastic, transparent, opaque, rigid and even flexible. The display can be easily fabricated using printing techniques and a few simple processing steps. The whole display can be made of polymers. There is no need for hermetically sealing or precision cell-gap control. This has greatly simplified the display assembly processes. There is no need for expensive capital equipment or clean room. Nonmechanical liquid crystal alignment processes and related state-of-the-art driving technique are required to completely develop the technology. As a result, very large area displays can be produced at low cost.
