Flexible displays are next-generation thin electronic display screens that are lightweight, foldable, and bendable. These displays can be rolled up without losing their display capabilities, i.e., they can be manipulated without breaking. Thus,flexible displays are more durable than their counterparts. Flexible displays are manufactured using plastics or other flexible substrates.In 2016, many of the industry participants were working toward the development of flexible displays for smartphones, tablet computers, and advanced consumer

electronic devices. Embedding the flexible displays into these devices makes them rugged and almost unbreakable.
