37.3: Smart Transflective Display Integrated with PDLC and OPV‐Embedded‐OLED

Abstract

We demonstrated a hybrid transflective device by vertically integrating a PDLC and an OLED with OPVas the reflective and transmissive mode, respectively. Such an OPV in an OLED absorbs light and converts into electrical power, which reduces the power consumption and also acts as the integrated sensor.

A course on thin‐film transistor circuit design for modern displays

“…To compete in the marketplace, the display companies are keen on looking for product differentiation. A technological trend would thus be to integrate various added functions into the display panel, such as sensing functions for better interaction, energy harvest function for efficient systems, etc. As a result, the applications of TFTs will be extended from the conventional pixel switching to more general electronic functions for signal communication, processing and data storage.…”
