Abstract: | Abstract— Plastic displays require new manufacturing processes and techniques to achieve acceptable cost and performance. A novel additive, low‐temperature atmospheric‐pressure self‐aligned means of fabricating integrated plastic substrates for full‐color LCDs and a bistable LC mode based on microstructure alignment are presented. By using imprinting rather than photolithographic patterning, a scalable, low‐cost manufacturing route is possible. A 2‐in.‐diagonal 128 × 128‐pixel display was made to demonstrate the principles involved, which has retained an image for in excess of 2 years. |
