Stability enhanced flexible liquid crystal display based on a micro-structure

We demonstrate the stability-enhanced novel flexible liquid crystal display (LCD) mode by using the micro-structure of rigid columnar spacer array and a micro-contact printing (mu CP) assembling method. Specially designed multi-column structure induces self-collected structure of adhesion material which resulted in the good adhesion properties of device to an external deformation as well as enhanced mechanical stability of electro-optic characteristics for flexible display application. Moreover, suggested method can easily inherit most advantages of conventional LCD technology such as low driving scheme, established process and LC mode selection freedom within a simple fabrication procedure. This novel technique can be highly applicable for realizing practical flexible display with enhanced mechanical stability and high performance.
