Keynote Abstract
In this talk I will describe a short history of flexible electronic displays, some of the technical approaches towards
achieving flexibility using both silicon-based and organic-based materials, with particular focus on manufacturing issues associated with flexible
electronic displays. Despite the fact that plastic-based electronic displays were demonstrated around 30 years ago, there are still few commercial
examples of flexible electronic displays. That situation now appears to be changing. I will also discuss some of the issues that have slowed adoption
of flexible displays in the marketplace, and some technical and market challenges to enable these technologies to flourish.
