Researchers at the University of Minnesota have figured out how to develop a special 3D printer that’s capable of printing a perfectly functioning OLED display, one that’s flexible, no less.



As noted in an article shared by the university on Friday, the discovery could result in not only lowered manufacturing costs for future OLED displays but the ability for display enthusiasts to 3D print flexible OLED displays in the comfort of their homes. Previous attempts with 3D printing OLED displays had failed, resulting in problems such as the poor uniformity of light-emitting layers, but the researchers succeeded with their latest attempt by combining multiple modes of printing.









“In this new study, the University of Minnesota research team combined two different modes of printing to print the six device layers that...
