Abstract

A cell suitable for use in a flexible display system is disclosed. In one embodiment, a display system can include a first membrane and second membrane maintained in a spaced apart relationship by a first intermediate layer that can also define cells in a matrix. Each such cell can form a pixel or a portion of a pixel in a particular display application. A third membrane can also be coupled to the first membrane, either directly, or through a second intermediate layer. Such a second intermediate layer can include a plurality of buffer structures that can maintain the spaced apart relationship when the display system is bent. Further, the first membrane can include asymmetrical slots. Also, a plurality of row electrodes may be printed on the first membrane and a plurality of column electrodes may be printed on the second membrane. When appropriate voltages are applied to the row and column electrodes, the first membrane will deflect or bend and make mechanical contact with the second membrane.
