ITRI, CPT pursuing foldable AMOLED panels

Siu Han, Taipei; Alex Wolfgram, DIGITIMES [Thursday 27 August 2015]
Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) is optimistic about its cooperation with Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT) to develop foldable AMOLED displays, and is aiming to mass produce the technology with a bend radius of 2-3mm by 2017.
On-cell touch AMOLED technology is one of ITRI's highlights at Touch Taiwan 2015 and is expected to go into production on 4.5G facilities from CPT following recent agreements between the two parties to pursue foldable AMOLED developments.
ITRI also featured out-cell touch AMOLED technology, which is expected to be used on wearable applications, in addition to rollable AMOLED displays that use FlexUPTM substrate material and a "specialized" panel and material layout, reaching 0.06mm in thinness.
ITRI also recently said it is increasing cooperation with Lintec to develop flexible AMOLED panel packaging solutions in order to further commercialization of the technology. Products will aim to give thinner, lighter and more diversified options for vendors in the smartphone and tablet segments that aim to bump up competitiveness with product differentiation.
