Plastic Logic Develops 10-inch Plastic Display

Plastic Logic, a developer of plastic electronics, today announced that it has developed what it claims to be the world’s largest organic active matrix display.

The display consists of a flexible, high resolution, printed active matrix backplane driving an electronic paper frontplane from US-based E Ink. The display will be shown at the 12th International Displays Workshop in Takamatsu, Japan from December 6-9.

The 10-inch SVGA (600×800) display features a 100ppi resolution and four-level grayscale color. The thickness of the display when laminated with E Ink Imaging Film is less than 0.4mm. The backplane substrate is made from low temperature PET (polyethylene terephthalate) supplied by DuPont Teijin Films; PET is more flexible and easier to handle than alternatives such as thin glass or steel foil.
