Alternative Technologies for Mobile Direct-View Displays

  • Reference work entry

Abstract

Besides transmissive and transflective displays, especially organic light-emitting displays (OLEDs) are present on the mobile display market. Of these, mobile display aspects of OLEDs are introduced in this chapter. In addition to these main display technologies, there are many others that attempt to gain a presence on the mobile device application area. Some of these, such as field-sequential color (FSC) displays, electrowetting displays (EWDs), micro-electromechanical (MEMS) displays, and autostereoscopic displays, are discussed. Finally, as a special case, electrophoretic displays (EPIDs) are described, as applied to electronic book reader (EBR) displays.
