e-Paper Display Technology and Market Forecast

This publication has been discontinued on September 5, 2011.

Introduction

Abstract

The flexible display market expects applications in concepts of e-newspaper, e-magazine, and e-book to replace newspapers, magazines, and books, focus firstly in the e-paper display. In addition, the market expects various applications not only as bulletin board-use displays such as interior/exterior-use advertisement boards, but also as a mobile communication device.

Currently, Taiwan-based PVI and Korea-based LG Display are manufacturing e-paper display products utilizing glass substrates. Various companies including Amazon and Sony are launching e-book using such display.

However, a genuine flexible e-paper display using flexible substrates has not yet been produced.

LG Display is expected to be the first maker to produce the flexible e-paper display. The company is developing the flexible e-paper display using metal foil substrates through collaboration with E-ink based on a-Si TFT technology and is planning to manufacture 11.5-inch flexible display products to US-based Hearst Corporation in e-magazine format during 1H' 09.
