What will the next generation of flexible display technology look like after the bendable and foldable fully flexible screen is implemented? Industry insiders pointed out that the stretchable flexible display may be the ultimate version of the flexible screen. Stretchable means that the flexible screen itself has a certain elasticity and deformation ability, which means that the future display screen can be attached to any irregular surface or even change anytime and anywhere, truly realizing "every surface is a screen".
Recently, during the US International Display Week, Micro-LED elastic flexible screen technology is released for the first time, breaking through the design and process problems in the field of elastic flexible display in the industry.
According to Liu Zihong, the release of Micro-LED elastic flexible screen technology is an important sign that the flexible electronics industry is experiencing exponential growth. Stretchable elastic flexible screen technology means the next frontier of technological development, which will provide a new frontier for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), wearable electronic devices, biological More innovative applications in fields such as medicine and automotive industrial design.
It is reported that the flexible screen produced by this Micro-LED elastic flexible screen technology not only has the characteristics of lightness, thinness, curling, and bending of a full flexible screen, but also can achieve elastic deformation such as stretching, twisting, and rotation, and the stretching range can be up to 130%. The surface of the screen can be stretched concavely and convexly, and the angle between the concave or convex vertex and the plane can reach 40 degrees. The technology uses a Micro-LED solution, which can accommodate more light-emitting bodies in the same area, and the pixel density (PPI) will be higher. At the same time, the circuit layout of the elastic flexible screen and the selection of supporting process materials can be accurately calculated and screened through the simulation model system.
In terms of application, because the light transmittance of Micro-LED elastic flexible screen technology is better than that of flexible OLED, it can reach 60% to 70%, which is equivalent to the light transmittance of automotive film, and can be applied to automotive windshields, sunroofs, helmets, Irregular surfaces such as sunglasses. The stretchable elastic flexible screen can also be combined with AR technology, which means that the navigation information can be displayed on the windshield or sunglasses of the car in real time through the stretchable elastic flexible screen, without the need for the driver to look left and right to find the route and street number, and get close to the purpose. The local time can also integrate the digital information of the surrounding environment, and timely push the environmental information that is convenient for parking nearby.
At present, a series of products and solutions has formed in the fields of fully flexible display and fully flexible sensing, which are applied to industries such as smart mobile terminals, smart transportation, smart home, office education, etc.
Age of Magic OLED：See how a flexible display can play in the living world
Dear friends, do you still remember the magical newspaper from one of the highest-grossing franchises of all time, Harry Potter?The pictures and text on the newspaper can be moved at will, opening the newspaper is like watching an action 3D movie.Similarly, in "Mission Impossible 5", which has swept the world recently, Benji Dunn, Tom's technical support, took out a seemingly ordinary thing but suddenly turned into an LED display, and was caught by Bangui is used as a computer.
To some extent, both "paper book computer" and "magic newspaper" can be counted as a type of flexible display. Today, these cool scenes that seem to be seen in movies have gone from sci-fi to reality, mainly thanks to flexible AMOLED displays that can bend and fold like paper.
Bringing sci-fi into reality, flexible LED display is no longer a gimmick
With the upgrading of LED screen technology, consumer electronic products are constantly refreshing people's attention.From the early LCD TVs, smartphones, and tablets to today's smart watches, VR devices, and Google Glass, functions are changing dramatically, bringing users a whole new experience.Unfortunately, the only thing that has not changed is the display screen. The glass screen with a hard touch has been difficult to meet people's needs, and it is difficult to make a major breakthrough in the design of the application side.However, the emergence of flexible AMOLED display technology can realize more ID designs, and its bendable, rollable, and foldable properties can bring more new product forms to the entire consumer electronics industry, and even appear that can be folded like traditional books. e-reader. At present, the Galaxy S6 edge makes ordinary consumers no longer unfamiliar with curved LED displays. As an evolutionary version of curved displays, the bendable and foldable AMOLED display will become a new trend in the development of smart screens.It is foreseeable that with the continuous maturity of AMOLED technology, the wide application of flexible curved screens will no longer be a gimmick.
With the introduction of flexible LED screen technology, more and more designers will add this revolutionary technology to the design of consumer electronic products. Imagine, in the future, our mobile phones, computers, smart watches, etc. may be as thin as cicada wings, embedded in clothes and worn on the wrist at will, the mobile phone can be pulled out from a pen holder, or extended into a tablet.
The rise of domestic enterprises breaks the monopoly of Japan and South Korea
Flexible AMOLED display technology has received extensive attention internationally.Generally speaking, foreign display panel giants still occupy a dominant position in the industry chain. However, with the advent of electronic information consumption and the "multi-screen era", China's flat panel display industry has sprung up in recent years.At present, mainland China has become the second largest panel manufacturing base in the world. Especially in the field of next-generation display technology AMOLED, Chinese enterprises and overseas manufacturers are standing on the same starting line.In the future, with China's emphasis on AMOLED technology and the continuous improvement of Chinese companies' R&D and manufacturing capabilities, China's AMOLED industry will become more complete in the industrial chain.
Flexible AMOLED display market development prospects are bright
In the future, whether it is in the field of wearable devices or mobile applications, the flexible display market has a huge space. The AMOLED industry is in the stage of rapid development, which is characterized by the fact that many companies have entered the stage of mass production, and the variety of products has increased significantly, especially the small and medium-sized AMOLED display panels are gradually recognized by consumers, and the upstream and downstream industry chains are gradually mature. For Chinese manufacturers, with the help of domestic industrial policies, increasing technology development, intellectual property layout, grasping the advantages of huge domestic market demand and low cost of localized procurement, continue to make breakthroughs in yield and technology, and promote the prosperity of the AMOLED industry. Grab more chips when it comes.
