Aaxa took three of the top five pico and personal models. The P4-X, P300 Pico and P2 Jr. were placed in first, third and fourth respectively. These models … Read more
The production of flexible displays is currently dependent on ITO material, for transparent conductive and encapsulation films. Replacing ITO is proving difficult, with challenges in terms of cost, sustainability and manufacturing scale. The project was set up because throughout Europe, it is proving extremely difficult to develop the manufacture of these alternative materials beyond laboratory … Read more
Samsung’s upcoming A3 line will use a new hybrid encapsulation technology, Korea’s UBI Research claims. Rather than the current Vitex technique, the new method will be ‘similar to the method that LG Display takes’, where the film is laminated after the resin coating process. The A3 fab is a G6 line, due to begin operation … Read more

A technique that bonds a polymeric film to glass, in a way that means it can be ‘easily’ removed by applying heat, has been developed by the Suga Laboratory of the School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo. The research may be used to lower the cost of flexible substrate production. When a polyimide … Read more
Yang Yang, a researcher at UCLA, and colleagues claim to have developed an ‘inexpensive and simple way’ to produce transparent, flexible transistors. Transistors are generally produced using a multi-step photolithography process (printing a pattern onto glass or a wafer, using light). The process is expensive and uses toxic substances. Yang’s approach instead uses inks (referred … Read more
