PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sensor containing detecting material which supervises whether item has been exposed to an environmental condition. SOLUTION: A method for determining whether an item has been exposed to an environmental condition during a monitoring period. The method includes placing a sensor at least in proximity to the item at the beginning of the monitoring period so that the sensor will be exposed to a level of an environmental condition that can be correlated to an exposure level of the item to the environmental condition; reading the sensor; and determining from the reading of the sensor whether the item has been exposed to the environmental condition. The sensor includes a detecting material comprising a photochromic or photothermochromic material, the detecting material is selected so that upon exposure to the environmental condition the detecting material exhibits a detectable color change.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a practical multicolor electronic paper having low power consumption by lowering the operating voltage of a single-layer cholesteric multicolor display from the present level. SOLUTION: The cholesteric display structure is formed by using a cholesteric liquid crystal 10 reflecting light of a visible spectrum range and a dipolar dopant 18 mixed in the cholesteric liquid crystal 10 and having limited miscibility or limited solubility. The cholesteric structure is formed by dissolving the dipolar dopant 18 in the cholesteric liquid crystal 10 between liquid crystal display wells 12 and 14. The cholesteric liquid crystal 10 is forcedly rotated in the direction separating from a planer state (θ=0) by the rotation of the dipolar dopant 18 by the application of electric field. The rotation angle is a function of the applied field intensity. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
