PowerFilm, a flexible solar panels manufacturer showed rollable display


Making solar panels to be flexible can be advantageous in terms of ease application of solar power technology for various purposes utilizing renewable energy from solar energy. A roll to roll flexible electronics technology made ​​by PowerFilm has been demonstrated on the backplane array technology for a flexible full working display which integrated with a front plane driver.

PowerFilm Inc. is a publicly owned company based in Iowa, and is also listed on the London Alternative Investment Market (AIM). The company is specially engaged in the development and manufacturer of thin flexible solar panels and flexible electronics.
