Thermochromic displays, which were evaluated in this study, combine printed electronics with the thermochromism phenomenon. Conductive lines on reverse side and thermochromic printing ink front of cardboard packaging form a display that gives additional value. Displays different materials, was deposited one two layers. In addition, half samples varnished. The influence material, thickness layer, varnish, high temperature, light fastness display's operability all evaluated. It clearly shown choice material plays crucial role operability. Moreover, temperature also have significant influence, although impact is negligible when used at room temperature.
