At Arizona State University, in Tempe, AZ, USA, is a research program called the Flexible Display Center. The center is working with the US Army to develop new information displays that will deliver high performance. They will be rugged, lightweight, ultrathin and compact, be made in any shape, and utilize low power. The electronics used to create the images on the displays will be printed on. The use of the future tense here is somewhat misleading. These displays exist today in prototype form.
At Clemson University, in Clemson, SC, USA, researchers from several different departments have been at work developing conductive polymer ink systems, work that has resulted in the filing of US patents. According to Jay Sperry, of the Department of Graphic Communications, the university is in a position to collaborate with advanced materials and engineering technologies to bring package printing and display to a level that involves many projects including organic light emitting displays.
