Abstract:
New smart-card applications like purse cards, etc. require an integrated display which allows the card-holder to read information which is stored on the IC of the card. On the other hand, the integration of a display into a plastic card requires some very specific features like flexibility and pressure stability, low-voltage CMOS-addressing, memory capability, and, of course, a reflective mode since no backlight is available. In this paper, two bistable reflective LCD solutions using ferroelectric and cholesteric LCs are discussed and very promising prototype results are presented. Pressure and bending tests as well as contrast measurements are compared in order to show the potential of meeting the requirements for use in smart cards.
