    摘要: An electronic display unit for an electronic shelf price label ('ESPL') system is disclosed that draws substantially no power to maintain the display. The electronic display unit comprises an updateable bistable electrophoretic display medium for displaying information and at least one electrode. In addition, the electronic display unit may be in electrical communication with an information updating unit. The information updating unit updates the information displayed by the display unit in response to a control signal or an environmental condition. The electronic display unit is capable of: (1) being manufactured by printing techniques; (2) being made in a lightweight and flexible form; and (3) holding an image power draw.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are novel electrophoretic displays and materials useful in fabricating such displays. In particular, novel encapsulated displays are disclosed. Particles encapsulated therein are dispersed within a suspending, or electrophoretic, fluid. This fluid may be a mixture of two or more fluids or may be a single fluid. The displays may further comprise particles dispersed in a suspending fluid, wherein the particles contain a liquid. In either case, the suspending fluid may have a density or refractive index substantially matched to that of the particles dispersed therein. Finally, also disclosed herein are electro-osmotic displays. These displays comprise at least one capsule containing either a cellulosic or gel-like internal phase and a liquid phase, or containing two or more immiscible fluids. Application of electric fields to any of the electrophoretic displays described herein affects an optical property of the display.

    摘要: An illumination system for selectively illuminating a nonemissive electronic display comprises display elements in communication with at least one light source. The system comprises a nonemissive electronic display comprising a substrate having a first and a second surface, nonemissive display media having electrically responsive optical properties disposed on the first surface of the substrate, and a light transmissive element adjacent the second surface of the substrate. Light transmitted through the light transmissive element illuminates the display media. The invention also provides a tiled display comprising a plurality of substrates which can be selectively illuminated. The display elements can be tiled to create complex, selectively illuminated, three-dimensional display structures.
