Abstract: A method of producing a metal element of an electronic device on a substrate, including the steps of: forming a mixture of a material comprising metal atoms with a liquid, depositing the material from the liquid mixture onto a substrate, and then irradiating at least part of the deposited material with light to increase the electrical conductivity of the deposited material.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flexible display is provided, which includes depositing a first layer comprising a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) on a flexible substrate and depositing a second layer comprising a plurality of pixel electrodes above the first layer with each pixel electrode connected to a respective TFT via a respective via connector between the first and second layers. A display medium responsive to signals on the pixel electrode can be deposited on the second layer for displaying an image on the second layer. A third layer comprising color filters for filtering an image displayed on the display medium can be aligned to the second layer. The third layer can be deposited and aligned on the second layer such that each color filter is substantially aligned to a respective pixel electrode to compensate for distortions in the first layer caused by distortions in the flexible substrate.
