2020 Royole Technology and Strategic Partnership Conference: The 3rd Generation Cicada Wing® Fully Flexible Display, Foldable Smartphone Partner, and the FlexPai 2
SHENZHEN, China, March 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Royole Corporation ("Royole", "Company"), a pioneer and the global leader in the flexible technology industry, today unveiled its next generation Fully Flexible Display (FFD), the 3rd Generation Cicada Wing®.
The 3rd Generation Cicada Wing® FFD delivers significant improvements over the previous generation and leads the industry in flexible display performance and reliability. The new FFD offers 50% increase of brightness and delivers enhanced performance on other optical metrics at the same time, including high contrast, wide color gamut, fast response time, etc. To ensure the display fits folding and other free form-factor applications, it also provides outstanding viewing angle performance with a JNCD (Just Noticeable Color Difference) below 0.6 and 1.5-times better brightness decay at a 30O view angle. This means the display maintains accurate and vivid rendering of colors and bright images seen from any perspectives, hence even more astonishing flexible display performance over the 2nd generation Cicada Wing® and other technologies. Equipped with a new custom-designed driver integrated circuit chip, the imagery quality is further enhanced. Mechanically, the 3rd Generation Cicada Wing® FFD can reach a minimum bend radius of just 1mm while providing the smoothest folding experience in the industry even after more than 200,000 bends.
The 3rd Generation Cicada Wing® FFD enables unlimited use cases across various industries. Durable and reliable, it delivers stunning visuals thanks to Royole's proprietary ULT-NSSP™*(Ultra Low Temperature Non-Silicon Semiconductor Process) technology and mechanical design guided by advanced Smart Mechanical Simulation methodology.
Royole's ULT-NSSP™ technology entered into mass production in 2018 as the industry's first for Fully Flexible Display, enabling simplified production process, superior bending reliability, and high yield rates at significantly lower costs and equipment investments in comparison to the LTPS** and other manufacturing process previously adopted for conventional display products by the industry.
Royole's comprehensive mechanical simulation platform has allowed the company to rapidly experiment, test and adjust the fundamental material properties and stacking structure to have the most advanced flexible module materials utilized in an efficient and manufacturing-friendly approach. It contributes to the excellent mechanical reliability of Royole's FFD as a highly differentiating factor. This, in conjunction with bespoke customer driven research and development, and production, has enabled Royole to build over 500 business partnerships globally, including household names such as Louis Vuitton, Airbus, China Mobile, Li-Ning, SF Express, Toyota, PSA and Legrand.
The first Royole product to feature the 3rd Generation Cicada Wing® FFD is going to be the FlexPai® 2 foldable smartphone. Taking over from FlexPai® 1, the world's first foldable smartphone with FFD brought to the market, FlexPai® 2 offers significant improvements in every possible way. In addition to the most advanced fully flexible display of 7.8-inch in size and with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the performance and design of FlexPai® 2 have been promoted to the next level, by adopting the state-of-art computing, memory, structural material technologies. One critical piece of engineering is the proprietary brand new, premium build, wearproof, mechanically robust, Super Seamless & Stepless Hinge (3S™ Hinge***). FlexPai® 2 will be officially launched in Q2 this year to the consumer market.
