Personal Computer World Says Hewlett-Packard is improving the techniques it uses to print electrical circuits on unconventional surfaces, which can then be used for flexible displays and epaper.
The circuitry isn’t yet sophisticated enough to support a conventional CPU, said the company at its HP Labs event in Disneyland Paris, but will be used for TFTs.
HP’s Large-area, Inexpensive Flexible Electronics (Life) research has resulted in many applications for such displays.
Roll-up electronic newspapers should be available in the future. In the shorter term, however, we’re more likely to see the release of non-flat, flexible TFT displays.
Ah, librarians and their acronyms…
“TFT” stands for thin film transistor, a type of LCD (liquid crystal display) used in flat panel displays (TVs and computer monitors) or projectors.
