Abstract:
An electrophoretic display (10) is provided which enables an image to be displayed by selectively energizing intersecting grid (16) and cathode (14) lines each indicative of a pixel and varying the bias between the lines to cause suspended pigment particles to migrate to an anode (20) and away from the energized pixels. Selected intersections of grid (16) and cathode (14) lines indicative of pixels are energized with a set of voltages during a fixed time interval, thereby causing an image to be displayed thereon. The time interval selected is less than the time required to completely remove the pigment particles from the pixels and the image is sequentially enhanced by rewriting at least some of the pixels with the set of voltages at least once. This permits a readable image to be produced much more rapidly and also provides incrementally darker pixels in the image as additional pigment particles are moved from selected intersections during subsequent energizing intervals.
Abstract:
A tetrode type electrophoretic display (10) includes local anode lines (32) electrically grouped into groups having the width of a character. In operation, the local anode (32) may be used to blink selected characters by applying appropriate voltages to the various electrodes of the display (10) in the proper sequence. Sequencing is controlled by a computer and associated software.

Abstract:
A flat panel display including: a plurality of electrically addressable pixels; a plurality of thin-film transistor driver circuits each being electrically coupled to an associated at least one of the pixels, respectively; a passivating layer on the thin-film transistor driver circuits and at least partially around the pixels; a conductive frame on the passivating layer; and, a plurality of nanostructures on the conductive frame; wherein, exciting the conductive frame and addressing one of the pixels using the associated driver circuit causes the nanostructures to emit electrons that induce the one of the pixels to emit light.
Abstract:
Single particle and dual-particle electrophoretic display devices are disclosed. The display comprises a back substrate and including a substantially hollow container that includes a transparent substrate forming a cavity therebetween. The transparent substrate including one or more cathode electrodes forming a plurality of electronically and selectively addressable pixels; one or more side walls extending from the transparent substrate, the side walls defining corresponding pixels, and a suspension fluid including a plurality of pigment particles in fluid communication with each of the cells by a gap formed between the top of the side walls and the back substrate. In addition, the displays include a thin-film transistor (TFT) active matrix substrate to selectively drive one or more cathode electrodes. In addition, methods for manufacturing of the displays are disclosed.
