Largest flexible full color OLED display makes rounds, is it the future? Making gadgets of tomorrow flexible to roll up into our pockets is the sought future. The scenario seems to reach a new high with the largest flexible color organic light emitting display with advanced mixed oxide thin film transistors (TFTs) developed by Flexible Display Center at Arizona State University. The project isn’t something that we are going to see inherited in our gadgetry anytime soon, but was part of a mandate of the US Department of Defense, which required building a full-color, full-motion video display that could be flexible and tough to withstand severe conditions like war.
Measuring 7.4 inches diagonally, which is roughly the size of the BlackBerry Playbook, the OLED display uses the mixed oxide thin film transistors which could herald a new generation of innovative gadgets that are flexible, lightweight, low power and rugged. The mixed oxides can bend without the need of exotic manufacturing techniques and are far more flexible and cost efficient as compared with liquid crystal displays (LCDs) that use a form of silicon which is fragile and breaks when bent. For all interest in the this new flexible full color OLED display can have a taste of it at the Society for Information Display conference in Boston, where it will be up on display from 5-7 June.
