Thin is in: portable displays
The Flexible Electronics and Display Center successfully manufactured the world’s largest flexible, color organic light emitting display (OLED) using advanced mixed oxide thin film transistors (TFTs). Paper thin and measuring 14.7 diagonal inches, the device was developed in conjunction with Army Research Lab scientists. One potential application is to integrate displays into soldiers’ clothing, where they can provide real-time information and enhanced safety.
“Mixed oxide TFTs offer a highly cost-effective approach for manufacturing displays that deliver high performance, including vibrant colors, high switching speeds for video and reduced power consumption – all features that will be required for the next generation of consumer electronics.” – Nick Colaneri, director of the Flexible Electronics and Display Center, a government-industry-academia partnership
