Plastic Logic has showcased the latest version of its all-plastic AMOLED screen panel demonstrator at the Society for Information Display's (SID) Display Week 2014 event on 1-6 June in San Diego.
The new screen's flexible organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) were developed by the company at its base in Cambridge, UK. The new model is an evolution of a similar prototype that was unveiled in February 2014. It was shown wrapped around a human wrist - emphasising how its all-plastic construction enables flexibility making it suited for wearable electronics as well as smartphones.
A video describing the new prototype and its potential to disrupt wearable electronics markets may be viewed below.
The updated screen is now able to display 30 frames per second. It has increased brightness, but is still only black and white - through the number of grey levels has been raised to 256.
Plastic Logic is developing the new screen in cooperation with partners drawn from the display industry. The first demonstrator was constructed in cooperation with OLED materials producer Novaled. Plastic Logic is now seeking further partners to help advance the screen for mainstream production.
Indro Mukerjee, CEO of Plastic Logic, says: 'The speed with which the second demonstrator display followed the first is a testament to the depth of the IP and know-how in manufacturing processes, materials sets and architectures that Plastic Logic has built up over the past 13 years. Colour is our next target.'
