PrintScreen is an enabling technology for digital fabrication of customized flexible displays using thin-film electroluminescence (TFEL. [] Key Method We contribute a systematic overview of graphical display primitives for customized displays and show how to integrate them with static print and printed electronics. Furthermore, we contribute a sensing framework, which leverages the display itself for touch sensing. To demonstrate the wide applicability of PrintScreen, we present application examples from…
