1. ) A two dimensional flexible display screen comprising:
- electrical flex circuit for interconnections;
surface mount light emitting electrical diodes acting as emissive pixels;
surface mount electronic components for controlling said pixels;
a) said combination of electrical flex circuit, surface mount light emitting diodes, and surface mount electronic components to control the pixels in a row-column matrix such that each pixel can be individually activated;
b) said two dimensional display matrix being at least m by n pixels in size where m, n are integers, and m or n is greater than 1;
c) said two dimensional display to permit flexing in a third dimension of space and, d) said display to permit, but not be restricted to, representations of alpha-numeric characters.

Abstract
This document describes the design and control of a flexible, electronic display screen mechanism. The display may emit, reflect, or otherwise control visible and invisible light such that a viewer may see graphical shapes, text based characters, or time varying images on the screen. The flexibility of the display screen allows it to be physically bent, curved, wrapped, or molded without causing breakage or otherwise deteriorating the performance of the device. This flexibility allows these displays to be used, for example, within items of clothing.
