Ultra flexible touch displays

Varitronix announced a range of ultra-flexible LCDs that accept a curve with a radius as tight as 12.5cm. The displays are manufactured in sizes said to be close to that of a credit card and are suitable for use in industrial, commercial, automotive and medical applications.

The 0.56mm thick design makes the displays very light. Varitronix claims that, providing the curvature specifications are not exceeded, the displays are virtually unbreakable.

The ultra-flexible LCDs use segmented monochrome TN technology and have in-cell touch capabilities. Display modes include transmissive; transflective; and reflective and the inter-connection method is via heat seal FPC bonding. The displays have an operating temperature range of -10 to 60°C, with a typical supply voltage of 5V.
