We have fabricated organic thin-film transistor (OTFT)-driven active matrix liquid crystal displays on flexible polymeric substrates. These small 16×16 pixel polymer-dispersed arrays addressed by pentacene layer OTFTs. The were using a low-temperature process (<110 °C) polyethylene naphthalate film and are operated as reflective displays.
