1 min read
Printing technology expert Toppan Printing and Plastic Logic are demonstrating at Retail Tech Japan a 42in flexible, reflective digital signage module created using organic thin film transistors (OTFTs).
The large area flexible electrophoretic display (EPD) module consists of 16 10.7in Plastic Logic monochrome flexible plastic displays, tiled in a 4 x 4 configuration with an effective pixel pitch of 0.7 mm. According to the partners, this is approximately six times better resolution than existing EPD signage.
Less than 3mm thick and lightweight, the flexible signage can be hung on a wall like a poster and is likely to enable a range of new and improved applications.
Indro Mukerjee, Plastic Logic's ceo, said: "We are pleased to be presenting another world first enabled by Plastic Logic's large area plastic displays, together with Toppan. This 42in daylight readable digital signage module is just one of the many exciting and varied applications of our plastic flexible displays."
Jin Endo, head of Toppan's Business Development Centre, added: "We are delighted to cooperate with Plastic Logic to open new frontiers. This new signage solution offers all the benefits of current EPD signage, including ultra low power consumption."
