Abstract

A QVGA active-matrix backplane is produced on a 25${\mu}m$ thin plastic substrate. A 4-mask photolithographic process is used. The insulator layer and the semiconductor layer are organic material processed from solution. This backplane is combined with the electrophoretic display effect supplied by SiPix and E ink, resulting in an electronic paper display with a thickness of only 100${\mu}m$. This is world's thinnest active-matrix display ever made.
