Plastic Logic, the flexible color display will change wearable devices

Plastic Logic, leader in the design and manufacture of glass-free electrophoresis (EPD), announced a new 5,4-inch flexible color display set to revolutionize smart wearables.

Smart wearable devices, like jewelry, have become increasingly popular among consumers over the past decade. The problem is that most wearable flexible displays (with little flexibility left) are black and white. Plastic Logic is doing what Admiral did with the TV in 1953: bringing color, with its own display technology integrated right into a flexible display.

Flexible, colorful, wearable display

“Wearable device designers can rely on colors for smart jewelry, Smart Fabris and even health monitoring devices,” he says in a press release Tim Burne, CEO of Plastic Logic. “Color enhances the functionality and appearance of any smart wearable device. Even more: it makes smart devices with flexible displays… even smarter.”

In addition to flexibility, which is key to wearable device design, Plastic Logic's displays are extremely rugged and ultra-thin, ideal for withstanding daily wear and tear.

“When it comes to wearable products, we've proven that you don't have to trade visual appeal for functionality,” added Tim Burne. “We have already worked with several smart jewelry manufacturers, developing wearable display solutions for their innovative products. There are many other wearable applications for which this technology is perfect. “

Plastic Logic displays are already available both as technical samples and in large “runs”, and can be ordered on request. We will soon see them everywhere.
