• Existing technologies for display applications such as LCDs, OLEDs electrochromic displays, and QD displays are not cost-effective for a large variety of applications, especially when the switching frequency requirements are low.
• There is need for cost-effective solutions, involving touch sensors replacing the complex device fabrication and implementation with highly conducting layer for sensing, and transparency so that the display beneath can be visible

The present invention relates to a single layer flexible display device (Fig.1a) and method of manufacturing the   display device

A Single layer flexible display device includes:

• a substrate
• a plurality of conducting contacts
• an active layer

The single layer flexible display device, may have touch functionality incorporated in it.,Fig.1(b).

A touch display device has :

• a transparent dielectric layer deposited over the active layer and
• a sensor coupled with the active layer configured to sense capacitance variation

1. The transparent encapsulation layer encapsulates the plurality of conducting contacts and the active layer
2. The sensor senses the capacitance of a capacitor formed within the display device, by at least one segment of the plurality of segments, the transparent encapsulation layer, and user’s finger
3. One segment of the plurality of segments acts as a first capacitor plate, the transparent encapsulation layer act as dielectric, and the user’s finger acts as a second plate of capacitor.
