This technology is increasingly being used in a number of applications which benefit from their light weight, favourable dielectric properties, robust, high circuit density and conformable nature. Flexible circuits can be rolled away when not required. To replace glass, plastic substrate must offer properties like clarity, dimensional stability, low coefficient of thermal expansion, elasticity etc. Using the leading cholesteric liquid crystal technology of ITRI, we develop a rewritable, environmentally friendly thermal printable e-paper. The e-paper, devised to reduce traditional paper consumption, achieves a high resolution of 300 dpi with a memory function. In addition, we report on the ITRI's initial success in demonstrating a complete R2R process for multisensing touch panels on thick glass substrates provided by Corning. Recent advances in organic and inorganic based electronics proceeds on flexible substrate, offer substantial rewards in terms of being able to develop displays that are thinner, lighter and can be rolled when not in use. This paper will discuss about the properties, preparation methods, applications and challenges in this rapidly growing industry.
