Such a display would be light in weight, less power consuming than other alternatives, and perhaps flexible. For more information about engineered polymers, visit the web pages of Philips Research . Maybe you will be the materials engineer on the team that figures out an economical and reliable means to produce a reasonably priced, three-pixcel patterned display, using polymer technology and manufacturing knowhow. Polymers are materials comprised of long molecular chains. Most polymers are carbon based and have relatively low melting points.
Polymers have a very wide range of properties which allow for their extensive use in society.
