Abstract: | Abstract— A QVGA active‐matrix backplane was produced on a 25‐μm thin plastic substrate. A four‐mask photolithographic process was used. The insulator layer and the semiconductor layer were organic material processed from solution. This backplane was a combination of the electrophoretic display effects supplied by SiPix and E‐Ink Corp., resulting in electronic‐paper displays with a thickness of 150 and 100 μm, respectively; this is the world's thinnest active‐matrix display ever made. |
