We propose EPD(Electrophoretic Display) file generation system based on template that enable users to choose contents layout for E-paper display. And also we show implementation results that apply the proposed system in digital doorsign management field adopting E-paper display. Template includes information for contents layout which is composed of standard form image to be used as background image, coordinates of area for dynamic data to be inserted, data source about dynamic data, and characteristic data of EPD panel for displaying contents. System administrator registers templates in Forms Server. When user chooses a contents layout, Forms Server automatically generates EPD file for displaying contents in E-paper by using information of the template and sends EPD file into doorsign. Strength of the proposed system lies in reflecting user preference about contents design and adding personal data into E-paper contents by smartphone application.

Principal challenges to $\underline{direct\;fabrication}$ of high performance a-Si:H transistor arrays on flexible substrates include automated handling through bonding-debonding processes, substrate-compatible low temperature fabrication processes, management of dimensional instability of plastic substrates, and planarization and management of CTE mismatch for stainless steel foils. Viable solutions to address these challenges are described.

Transparent ac-PDP test panel was prepared via a combination of materials including ITO sustaining electrodes, thin film dielectric layer and nano-sized phosphor powders. The thin film dielectric layer was prepared by E-beam evaporation process and phosphor layer was deposited on metal mesh pattern by electrophoretic deposition process. The optical transmittance and luminance of the panel indicated that full color transparent ac-PDP is feasible with the approach.

We have developed $EPLaR^{TM}$, a new way of making flexible electrophoretic displays. The TFTs have the same good performance, reliability and mature manufacturing processes as TFTs used in LCD monitors and LCD-TVs. We are working with partners to show that plastic displays can be made in existing TFT-LCD factories alongside glass LCDS. In this talk we describe the EPLaR process and show results for TFT arrays on plastic made in a factory by standard ${\alpha}$-Si TFT processing.

차세대 디스플레이로서, 특히 휴대기기를 위한 플레깃블 디스플레이에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있다. 지난 몇 년간 계속적으로 연구가 이루어져 왔음에도 불구하고, 플렉시블 디스플레이는 아직 하나의 '제품'으로서 시장에 진입하지 못하고 있다. 플렉시블 디스플레이는 플라스틱이나 메탈 호일, 플렉시블 유리와 같은 플렉시블 기판이 쓰이는데, 이것은 가벼우면서 얇고 강하며 제조 측면에서 높은 생산성을 가질뿐만 아니라 착용이 가능할 정도의 자유로운 디자인이 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 많은 장점으로 인해 플렉시블 디스플레이의 연구와 개발이 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 지난 몇 년 동안 개발된 전기영동(electrophoretic), 유기전계발광(OLED, organic light-emitting diode), 액정(liquid-crystal)과 관련된 플렉시블 디스플레이에 대해 성능 등을 알아보고, 플렉시블 디스플레이용으로 개발된 플라스틱 기판과 그 위에 형성된 유기박막트랜지스터(OTFTs, organic thin film transistors)의 특성을 분석한다. 그리고 oTFTs의 성능과 제작공정의 이해를 위해 self organized process에 대해 설명하고 마지막으로 중요 연구 과제를 제시한다.

Using gelatin and acacia as wall and electronic ink as core substance, microcapsules were prepared by complex coacervation to fabricate a flexible electronic paper display. In order to obtain the microcapsules in a narrow dispersed distribution, we focus on the interfacial tension between the hydrophobic electrophoretic ink and an aqueous polyelectrolyte solution, through controlling sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) concentration and stirring rate. The existence of anionic surfactant of SDS not only decreases the droplet diameters, but also reduces the diameter size distribution. And, as the stirring rate is increased, the average size of microcapsule is also decreased.

Several laboratories worldwide have demonstrated the feasibility of producing amorphous silicon thin film transistor (TFT) arrays at temperatures that are sufficiently low to be compatible with flexible foils such as stainless steel or high temperature polyester. These arrays can be used to fabricate flexible high information content display prototypes using a variety of different display technologies. However, several questions must be addressed before this technology can be used for the economic commercial production of displays. These include process optimization and scale-up to address intrinsic electrical instabilities exhibited by these kinds of transistor device, and the development of appropriate techniques for the handling of flexible substrate materials with large coefficients of thermal expansion. The Flexible Display Center at Arizona State University was established in 2004 as a collaboration among industry, a number of Universities, and US Government research laboratories to focus on these issues. The goal of the FDC is to investigate the manufacturing of flexible TFT technology in order to accelerate the commercialization of flexible displays. This presentation will give a brief outline of the FDC's organization and capabilities, and review the status of efforts to fabricate amorphous silicon TFT arrays on flexible foils using a low temperature process. Together with industrial partners, these arrays are being integrated with cholesteric liquid crystal panels, electrophoretic inks, or organic electroluminescent devices to make flexible display prototypes. In addition to an overview of device stability issues, the presentation will include a discussion of challenges peculiar to the use of flexible substrates. A technique has been developed for temporarily bonding flexible substrates to rigid carrier plates so that they may be processed using conventional flat panel display manufacturing equipment. In addition, custom photolithographic equipment has been developed which permits the dynamic compensation of substrate distortions which accumulate at various process steps.

In this study, the drift current characteristics of charged particles are analyzed for panels fabricated by varying the waveform biasing of the active particle loading method (APLM), which is a method driven by the electrophoretic principle of loading charged particles into a cell of a barrier rib-type electronic paper. We prepare 3 panels using APLM and 1 panel without APLM. The waveform of APLM uses square wave and ramp wave, and the step voltage wave is applied to the driving voltage. The drift currents measured from the square wave and ramp wave with the same period applied by APLM are 4.872 µC and 5.464 µC, respectively, and the ramp wave is shown to be relatively advantageous for loading charged particles that have a large q/m. The time-current curve results confirm that the abrupt movement of charged particles is occurring. When the step form wave signal with a short time of 1s is first applied, initial large movement of the charged particles is confirmed to occur in all samples, which is understood as the effect of applying the voltage necessary to remove the imaging force. The results of this study are expected to improve the loading of charged particles into the electronic paper cell, driven by the electrophoretic principle and optimization of the driving conditions.
