For decades, the pursuit of volume commercialization of low-power reflective displays with a paper-like look has been an unfulfilled dream. While steady technical progress was made throughout the late 1990s, there were still no volume products incorporating electronic paper displays (EPD) on the market. Now, microencapsulated electrophoretic display technology, also called electronic ink, has moved into volume production with a frontplane laminate (FPL) display component called E Ink Imaging Film™. This film is coated roll to roll on a flexible plastic substrate and integrated into a display module. Today, all-plastic segmented displays are being shipped as well as displays with electronic ink FPL being driven by glass TFT backplanes. A roadmap to active matrix flexible electrophoretic displays is being enabled by rapid technical progress on flexible TFT backplanes by a variety companies. Each of the approaches to these backplanes and flexible active matrix displays has different advantages for the various market segments being pursued including large format flexible displays for e-news and other reader applications, rollable displays for compact readers, and high resolution small format displays up to 400 ppi that can have fully integrated drive electronics to reduce size and drive down costs. Backplane approaches include Si on plastic, organic transistors on plastic, and Si transistors on flexible stainless steel substrate. Progress is also being made on next generation inks, including more reflective inks with higher contrast ratios. A full color 6 inch, 170 pixel per inch (PPI) active matrix display using a newer generation ink has been developed and this will be described and demonstrated. Large format segmented flexible displays will also be described.

We have designed novel transreflective liquid crystal displays which utilize dielectric mirrors. The reflective and transmissive modes are operated in different wavelength regions. The displays have the advantages: (1) the brightness as a function of applied voltage is the same for both modes, (2) the backlight and ambient light are utilized efficiently.

With the increasing demands for hand-held devices with lightweight and low-power-consumption displays, the role of reflective liquid crystal displays (LCDs) is becoming more and more important. Especially, the single polarizer mode is considered as a suitable structure for reflective LCDs because it can provide high brightness. However, the single-polarizer LCDs have demerit in that the contrast is lower than double-polarizer LCDs because of the light leakage in thedark state. (omitted)

$Reflex^{TM}$ display technology based on bistable, reflective, and flexible Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Displays is being developed and mass produced for new and non-traditional applications. These applications allow for personalization of mobile devices, very low cost display systems, and more. This display technology, its status, and new applications are discussed in this paper.

Many flat panel displays displays rely on polymeric substrates with thin film coatings, such as anti-reflective, anti-static and hardcoats, to improve optical and mechanical properties of the display. In this paper we briefly discuss the principles underlying the mechanical robustness of such coated structures, and examine two fitness-for-use tests currently employed by the industry. We compare the teachings with some results obtained with our hardcoats and anti-reflective coatings.

We present a new tool to measure precisely the emissive properties of displays at the pixel level with submicrometric spatial resolution. It is useful to check the technological defects and their impact on the emissive properties of the displays. Backlight films and transflective and reflective displays are measured.

We propose a new optical configuration of a hybrid-aligned nematic liquid crystal cell for reflective displays, which consist of a biaxial film for obtaining wide viewing angle and a half-wave film for achieving high contrast. As a result, we can achieve wide viewing angle of (80( for the horizontal direction and (50( for the vertical direction and uniform reflection spectrum.

A reflective electronic display that uses negatively and positively charged particles has excellent bistability, a welldefined threshold voltage, and an extremely fast response time in comparison with other reflective displays. This type of display shows images through the movement of charged particles whose motion depends on the value of q/m (charge per mass for a particle). However, the ratio q/m can easily be changed by the forces acting on the charged particles in a cell of the panel and by friction that occurs after mixing oppositely charged particles and in the particle-insertion process. In this study, we propose a method to determine the appropriate range of q/m by using the reflectivity and response time of charged particles to modify q/m. In this manner, the electrical and optical properties of reflective displays are improved.

Since 2006, the Industrial Technology Research Institute and the University of Cincinnati have been jointly exploring approaches for high brightness flexible electrowetting displays (EWDs). Recently, ITRI demonstrated for the $1^{st}$ time a 6" AM-EWD reflective display panel. To create flexible AM-EWDs, Cincinnati has developed low-temperature processing and improved pixel structures.
