A new roll-to-roll manufacturing platform has been developed that enables the fabrication of durable and flexible electronics. Here we present this platform capability and its application to create thin, conformable, reflective paper-like displays. Segmented “electronic skins” are demonstrated that can change their appearance upon application of low-power electronic signals. HP proprietary “inks” that can be electrically addressed are shown to enable print-like color performance.
