The flexible display market expects applications in concepts of e-newspaper,
e-magazine, and e-book to replace newspapers, magazines, and books, focus
firstly in the e-paper display. In addition, the market expects various
applications not only as bulletin board-use displays such as
interior/exterior-use advertisement boards, but also as a mobile communication
device.
Currently, Taiwan-based PVI and Korea-based LG Display are manufacturing
e-paper display products utilizing glass substrates. Various companies
including Amazon and Sony are launching e-book using such display.
However, a genuine flexible e-paper display using flexible substrates has not
yet been produced.
LG Display is expected to be the first maker to produce the flexible e-paper
display. The company is developing the flexible e-paper display using metal
foil substrates through collaboration with E-ink based on a-Si TFT technology
and is planning to manufacture 11.5-inch flexible display products to US-based
Hearst Corporation in e-magazine format during 1H' 09.
