SBIR Phase I: Flexible Displays for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Applications

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将展示生产可用于制作射频识别（RFID）电子标签的柔性显示器的可行性。这些标签将是纸质标签的电子模拟物。这项创新将是将已知的柔性RFID电路与柔性显示器结合起来，创造出一种可以无线更新的电子纸状标签。第一阶段的活动将包括在聚酰亚胺衬底上制造主动式基质背板，然后使用聚合液晶混合物构建显示器。商业应用包括零售电子货架标签、航空安全行李识别和员工识别标签。这些标签用于航空安全行李标签和员工身份识别，代表了解决国土安全问题的应用。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I Project will demonstrate the feasibility of producing flexible displays that can be used to make radio frequency identification (RFID) electronic labels. These labels will be electronic analogs of paper labels. The innovation will be to combine known flexible RFID circuitry with flexible displays to create an electronic paper-like label that can be wirelessly updated. . The Phase I activities will involve active matrix backplane fabrication on polyimide substrates followed by display construction using a polymerized liquid crystal mixture. The commercial applications include retail electronic shelf labels, airline security luggage identification, and employee identification tags. The use of these tags for airline security luggage tags and employee identification represent applications that address issues in homeland security.
