柔性显示衬底的研究及进展

柔性显示作为下一代显示,由于其具有超薄,质量轻,耐用等优点,已经引起了广泛的关注。为了制备柔性显示,柔性薄板如塑料和金属薄片作为衬底已被研究。在过去十几年中,柔性衬底大规模替代传统的玻璃衬底具备很大的潜力,其被认为是柔性显示发展的关键。文章综述了柔性衬底如聚合物、不锈钢、超薄玻璃、纸质和生物复合物的最新进展,并针对柔性衬底的缺点介绍了改善方法。最后,为了推进柔性显示的发展,概述了卷对卷技术,其在柔性显示应用中有着广阔的市场。

Advances in Flexible Displays Substrates

Flexible displays have been attracted much attention as a next generation display for their ultra-slim,light weight,durable,and conformable properties.In order to fabricate flexible displays,the flexible sheets such as plastics and metal foils have been developed as a substrate material.Over the past decade,flexible substrates that have enabled the potential for wide-scale replacement of traditional glass substrates are critical to flexible displays development.This progress report provides an update developments in flexible substrates,which include polymer,stainless steel,ultra-thin glass,paper,bio-composite.Meanwhile,some novel solutions were summarized to overcome shortcomings in developing flexible displays.Finally,roll-to-roll technology for the development of flexible displays will be introduced,since it will allow their market implementation in flexible displays.
