Programme targets next generation flexible displays 01/10/2008
 
flexible displays, electrowetting technology Liquavista has launched a three year £12million cooperative research programme to develop next generation flexible electronic displays that support full colour and video.
The project will use Liquavista’s electrowetting technology to create thin and flexible screens capable of displaying video content, but with very low power consumption.
Mark Gostick, Liquavista’s ceo, said: “Colour and video capability will broaden the application of electronic paper displays to all types of content and device. Together with our partners Plastic Logic and with the help of the Technology Strategy Board, we are aiming to realise the full potential of electronic paper displays as the best way to show any content on the move.”
Liquavista’s displays use electrowetting principles to switch light efficiently. According to the company, it is the only approach – apart from lcds – that can be used in transmissive, transflective or reflective modes.
