Plastic Logic has developed a process for organic TFT backplane deposition that is fully compatible with low glass transition temperature, inexpensive plastic substrates. We have combined backplanes made with this process with microencapsulated electrophoretic imaging films to make 50 and 100PPI displays that are flexible down to a radius of curvature of 5mm. This process is scalable and is being implemented in a pilot line for substrate sizes up to 350mm × 350mm.
