New Photo-addressable Electronic Paper Using An Electrophoretic Device

  • Published : 2003.07.09

Abstract

We present a novel photo-addressable electronic paper using an electrophoretic device, which can show and sustain the 2D images transferred by the UV illumination. The device consists of the organic photoconducting layer reacting with the UV illumination and the electronic ink (white particles and blue dye) dispersing in a suspending medium. The voltage impression under illuminating of UV make an image be transferred to the electrophoretic cell. The transferred image can be maintained by the bistability of the electrophoretic device.
