The structure of super-flexible LC device is created by ultra-thin plastic substrates bonded by polymer wall spacers.

Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a super flexible liquid crystal (LC) device, in which 2 ultra-thin plastic substrates are firmly bonded by polymer wall spacers. The team, led by Professor Hideo Fujikake and Associate Professor Takahiro Ishinabe of the School of Engineering, hopes the new organic materials will help make electronic displays and devices more flexible, increasing their portability and all round versatility. New usage concepts with flexibility and high quality display could offer endless possibilities in near-future information services.

Previous attempts to create a flexible display using an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device with a th...
