This 2006 presentation by Robert Hatfield introduces a novel process for creating paintable displays, revolutionizing the display technology landscape. The process involves applying a polymer liquid onto a substrate with an alignment layer, followed by a meticulously designed UV treatment process. This innovative display method allows for a lightweight, ultra-thin, and flexible product that can adhere to various substrates, including wallpaper, fabric, and newspapers. The practical advantages include no size restrictions and reduced manufacturing costs compared to traditional LCDs, positioning it as a game-changer in the industry.

Paintable Displays Robert Hatfield Material Science 3344 Spring 2006
Process to make a display • Alignment layer attached to substrate. • Polymer liquid “painted” on. • Masked grid laid on top • First UV treatment • Mask removed • Second UV treatment • Polarizing Coat Applied
Future Uses • No size limit • No need for a flat surface • Attach to nearly any substrate • Wallpaper, clothes, newspapers, etc.
Uses only one substrate Ultra thin Can be flexible Ultra light Cheaper than current LCD Advantages
