The recent growth in the portable display industry has been dominated by flexible display, moreover, several developing of using LCD technology has been in making the flexible display work effectively, however flexible device is not practical. Recently, the study on the multi-display screen has been published as the needs of larger screen in mobile device has been increased. The multi-display screen which is composed of two LCD panels, has the characteristics of the seamless gap between two panels. To meet the needs of this multi-display, in this paper, the study is performed to design the seamless device which consist of LCD panels, light film, back light and driver, and finally, we evaluated the effectiveness of seamless folding mechanism.

We developed 4.8 inch WQVGA e-paper on plastic substrate using organic field effect transistors (OFETs). Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film was used as a flexible substrate and arrays of OFETs with bottom-gate, bottom-contact structure were fabricated on it. Lowtemperature curable organic gate insulating materials were employed and polymer semiconductor solutions were ink-jetted on arrays with high-resolution. At all steps, process temperature was limited below $130^{\circ}C$. Finally, we could drive flexible e-paper displays based on OFET arrays with the resolution of 100 dpi.

Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with printable semiconductors are promising candidate devices for flexible active-matrix (AM) display applications. Yet, stable operation of actual display panels driven by OTFTs has seldom been reported up to date. Here, we demonstrate a flexible reflective type polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) display, in which inkjet-printed OTFT arrays are used as driving elements with excellent areal uniformity in terms of device performance. As the active semiconductor, a novel, ambient processable conjugated copolymer was synthesized. The stability of the devices with respect to electrical bias stress was improved by applying a channel-passivation layer, which suppresses the environmental effects and hence reduces the density of trap states at the channel/dielectric interface. The combination of high performance and high stability OTFT devices enabled the successful realization of stable operating flexible color-displays by inkjet-printing.

We developed a new device structure using anisotropic phase sepraration from liquid crystals (LCs) and polymer composite materials for flexible display applications. In the device, the LC molecules are isolated in pixels where LCs are surrounded by polymer layers. These devices show very good mechanical stability against external pressure. The electro-optic characteristics and the mechanical stability of the devices are discussed in view of the flexible display applications.

True electronic paper displays are being enabled by the development of two core technologies - plastic electronics for display backplanes and electrophoretic ink for use as the imaging layer. Electrophoretic ink developed by E Ink Corporation continues to advance performance along with parallel technology breakthroughs in flexible TFT backplanes. An overview of these advances in the ink imaging material will be discussed with special emphasis of the expected impact on the emerging flexible display applications.

We have demonstrated a flexible and full-color OTFT-OLED display. The display has a top-emitting pixel structure with a resolution of 80 ppi, which can be achieved by developed integration architecture of OTFTs. The 0.3-mm-thick flexible display exhibits peak brightness over 100 nit with a contrast ratio greater than 1000:1.

We have investigated the electro-optical (EO) performances of the flexible liquid crystal display (LCD) on twisted nematic (TN) mode according to variation of cell gap in comparison with glass LCD. There were four kinds of cells which were having cell gaps of 3$\mu$m, 4$\mu$m and 5$\mu$m, especially the lowest 2$\mu$m on flexible and glass substrates separately. The EO performances of the flexible cells on the rubbed potyimide (PI) were almost the same those of glass cells. The response time of flexible cells was shorter than that of glass cells but the alignment of liquid crystal (LC) of flexible cells was weaker than that of glass cells. The residual DC of flexible cells was on the increase like that of glass cells in compliance with lowering cell gap.

Flexible display는 플라스틱 등 휠 수 있는 기판에 만들어진 평판 디스플레이로, 우수한 표시특성을 그대로 가지면서 접거나 구부리거나 두루마리 형태로 변형이 가능하기 때문에 현재의 평판 디스플레이 시장의 차세대 기술로 평가되어 전세계적으로 급격한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. Flexible display는 원리적으로 종이와 같은 수 센티미터 이내로 휘거나, 구부리거나, 말 수 있는 얇고 유연한 기판을 사용하게 되며, 기존의 딱딱한 유리기판을 사용하는 디스플레이와는 달리 가볍고, 얇고, 내충격성이 강하며, 구부림이 자유롭다. 본 고에서는 flexible display의 핵심 기술, 주요기관의 최근 flexibledisplay 연구 개발동향 및 발전전망 등에 대하여 살펴보기로 한다.
