Abstract :
In this paper, key technology options for flexible active-matrix (AM) displays are reviewed by addressing advantages and challenges for each technology. Before flexible or rollable displays appear in the market, it is expected that ultra-thin, very light, unbreakable, high quality, full-color flat panel displays will be available in the market in the near future by utilizing the technologies that have been originally developed for flexible or rollable applications. The status of the state-of-art technology in both backplane and frontplane areas, and engineering prototype demonstrated up to date, will also be reviewed
