Comprehensive company profiles of major players in the industry. INTRODUCTION A flexible display is a display whose form can be temporarily altered without affecting its functioning. In simpler words, flexible displays can be bent, rolled, and twisted, without damage. It should be clarified that not every flexible display can support extreme change in form. This report considers any display whose form can be reasonably altered as flexible. After several years of uncertainty surrounding their commercial debut, flexible displays now appear closer to reality. There can be no two opinions about the market potential for flexible displays. The idea of lending flexibility to such a powerful communication mode as a display is laden with the potential of extremely rich and diverse revenue streams. There are, however, compelling technical reasons that have held back flexible displays from a meaningful entry into the market. Present-day display technologies that use a rigid base have set the bar very high in terms of picture quality, rich video support, technology upgrades, and competitive pricing. For years, designers of flexible displays have been making up their minds about the ideal entry-level readiness for their products. The reason for their dilemma is that in a flexible display-based product, flexibility is not restricted to displays. The entire back-end mechanism, as well as other components of the device such as power supplies, and any other input/output modes, need to be flexible as well. Current conventional displays service a wide range of devices. It will be nearly impossible for flexible displays to match that breadth in the near future. Slowly but surely, stakeholders driving flexible displays are realizing that their products' abilities will have to be progressively enhanced. The commercialization of flexible displays hinges squarely on the successful synthesis of a flexible substrate. Present-day candidates for flexible substrate materials are derived mostly from organic molecules and compounds. These have poor temperature resistance capabilities. Designers therefore cannot apply mainstream semiconductor fabrication techniques to these substrates. The search for alternative fabrication techniques has led stakeholders to look elsewhere: the printing industry. Printing techniques are complicated and cost-effective, but not as rich in output as semiconductor fabrication techniques. The initial years of flexible display commercialization will be dominated by applications that are not too demanding on video capabilities and form factors. These limitations and challenges should not make us lose track of the larger picture. Flexible displays are credible game changers, especially in applications that are faced with the prospects of declining revenues.
