Printed Electronics - the Big Picture

While sales of flexible OLEDs have scarcely begun, sales of flexible electrophoretic displays, that need no electricity until the image is changed, are rocketing and there may be fifty suppliers within a few years. Flexible electrophoretic displays in color are being demonstrated and there are rapid advances in the color performance of flexible ac electrophoretic displays as well. New display concepts are being commercialized such as liquid powder displays (Bridgestone) and electrowetting displays (Liquavista).
