Electrochromic Displays

Electrochromic –  printed, reflective, thin, creasable and biodegradable

The RISE ECD (Acreo display) is printed using conventional printing processes. Packaging- and display printing can be performed simultaneously and in roll-to-roll setups, and the Acreo display technology is one of the first printed electronic components ready for mass production. It is robust, requires low voltage and can be used in in-mould applications. The display can be integrated in packaging, and in any devices where a novel form factor makes a difference.

Unique features:

  • Screen printed thin displays
  • Reflective
  • Flexible / creasable
  • Conventional (screen) printing technology is used
  • Roll-to-roll production is possible, using conventional transparent PET film
  • Quick scaling of production system
  • Low energy consumption
  • Robust – withstands heat, handling, dust, oxygen
  • Great viewing angle
  • Requires very low voltage

The electrochromic display may also be modified by using other materials.

A few examples of applications

  • Screen printed labels
  • Low-end displays with short usage time
  • Medical diagnostics: pregnancy tests, disposable testers of blood, saliva, hormones, etc.
  • Basic counters
  • Labels for perishable foods (is the meat/salad ok?)
  • Labels for logistics tracking
  • Labels to fight counterfeit
  • Meters, where a simple user interface is sufficient
  • Smart cards: OneTimePassword cards, display cards, etc.

How does it compare to LED, OLED and LCD?

The Acreo Display is a simplistic, monochrome and functional display. It looks much like an LCD, but the shape can vary from small to large depending on your requirements. The shape of the displayed information can therefore interact with the application in ways that have never been shown before.
