Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) showcases latest flexible display technology including a color 10.4-inch cholesteric LCD (Ch-LC) flexible display and a flexible LED backlighting unit (BLU). Latest 10.4-inch color flexible display features two plastic substrates and a thickness of less than 10mm. This design concept reduces the 50% of size comparing to previous models that used glass substrate. The research institute also announced a flexible LED-based BLU that has been successfully used in a 7 inch color flexible active matrix (AM) LCD display.
