Abstract

In this paper, we have studied manufacturing process for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) using plastic substrates. Because the thermal and dimensional stabilities of plastic substrates are decisive issues, both the process and materials were improved to fit the manufacturing requirements of flexible twisted-nematic (TN) and color super-twisted nematic (CSTN) LCDs. Finally, to broaden the flexible display applications, we take advantage of the unique properties of flexible display to design several innovative products.
