Organic transistors can be made at much lower temperatures than those made with conventional silicon, which means it's possible to print them on top of lightweight, flexible plastic instead of glass. The Que's display is based on an array of one million organic transistors built on a plastic backing. This plastic array, which replaces the rigid, heavy, silicon-on-glass array in most displays, including those in other e-readers on the market, drives the pixels of the E Ink display. Though the display itself is flexible, it's encased in rigid plastic. The advantage of the flexible plastic display is that it's nearly unbreakable.
