45‐2: Distinguished Paper: Ultra‐narrow Border Display with a Cover Glass Using LCDs with a Polyimide Substrate

Abstract

We propose a novel plastic Liquid crystal display (LCD) with an ultra‐narrow‐border. As the most significant improvement, the four borders of the LCDs can be folded to wrap the backlight unit. This LCD was based on various new techniques, including the use of plastic substrates, processing of polarizer films, control of the neutral surface of a bending component based on the sealant width, and the use of a cover glass with a lens effect. We believe that these novel LCDs will be useful for numerous new applications.
