Flexible displays have significant advantages for handheld devices by being thin, light, robust and capable of being fitted to curved shapes. We have developed the EPLaR process for making flexible displays in standard AM‐LCD factories. In this paper we discuss EPLaR electrophoretic displays driven by a‐Si TFTs that were made in a factory and report on progress in developing flexible polycrystalline silicon TFTs and OLEDs.
