Full Color AM-LCDs on Flexible Glass Substrates
We have realized a full color 4-inch quarter-VGA amorphous Silicon AM-LCD on 75 μm flexible glass substrates. The overall thickness of the LC cell is <170 μm. With this work we demonstrate that the incorporated ultra-thin glass substrates have suitable properties to be compatible with a standard color AM-LCD process and achieve active matrix backplanes with reliable
26.1: Invited Paper: Ultra‐Slim Flexible Glass Substrates for Display Applications
With inherent benefits such as surface quality, transmission, hermiticity, and thermal and dimensional stability, ultra‐slim flexible glass substrates (≤200 μm thick) enable high‐quality and long‐life displays. This invited paper provides an overview of flexible glass substrates and how they help optimize flexible display designs, materials, and fabrication processes.
Forming and failure behaviour of coated, laminated and sandwiched sheet metals: a review
Abstract The subject of improving the formability and fracture resistance of coated and laminated sheets, and sandwiches during forming and in service has received significant attention because these properties constitute an important design criterion for these composite materials. This paper reviews the mechanical and functional properties of these composite materials. A special emphasis is placed on the study of their forming and failure behaviour. Major failure mechanisms are identified in the laminated sheets during forming and in sandwiched sheets when subjected to static and dynamic loading. Shape fixability of coated and laminated sheets after forming are also discussed in terms of the surface friction and shear deformation in the core layer. Conclusions and generalisations which can be drawn from the literature and from the authors' previous experience are presented, with discussions of areas in which further research is required.
