Prime View International (PVI) joins the e-paper news craze by
announcing what they claim to be the first flexible active matrix (AM) electrophoretic display made in a volume TFT fab. Sure, it's probably not the first "break-through" story we've heard of in the past few months, though let's not forget that PVI has a proven track record as the world's current sole OEM provider of E Ink panels.

PVI has demonstrated diagonal 9.7”, 6” and 1.9” AM electrophoretic displays. These flexible displays are based on PVI’s proprietary MagicMirror® Reflective Technology as well as the EPLaR process, developed by Philips Research, and for which PVI currently has an exclusive license. The MagicMirror® technology provides extremely efficient and high quality reflective TFT backplane manufacturing, while the EPLaR process allows most PVI’s proprietary a-Si TFT and module processes to be used for making flexible e-paper displays.
