46.1: <i>Invited Paper</i> : Novel Design for Full‐Color Electronic Paper

Abstract

Abstract Despite a steep increase in commercial devices comprising paper‐like displays, a much desired feature is still missing: bright full‐color electronic paper. We have developed a new reflective display technology to solve this issue. for the first time we will report about the principles behind our in‐plane electrophoretic technology, which enables the realization of full‐color reflective displays with a higher brightness than all present e‐paper technologies, without compromising paper‐like properties like viewing angle and ultra‐low power consumption. An additional major advantage (e.g. for future low‐cost manufacturing) is that, besides direct‐drive and active‐matrix configurations, a passive‐matrix option has been developed successfully.
