A flexible 240/spl times/320-pixel display with integrated row drivers manufactured in organic electronics

Rollable electrophoretic displays with an active-matrix backplane are an emerging application of organic electronics. Integrating row shift registers on the display backplane reduces the number of interconnects and the footprint. Stand-alone shift registers using organic electronics on a flexible substrate are designed, realized, and characterized. The circuit contains 240 stages and has over 4000 transistors. Furthermore, a 240-stage shift register is integrated with a QVGA active-matrix display.
