Abstract:
An e-paper imaging system includes a writing unit and a support surface to support a passive e-paper media in a position spaced apart from the writing unit. The writing unit includes a charge generator and an electrode array. The electrode array includes addressable holes to control charges flowing to the support surface.
Abstract:
A media includes at least one passive e-paper display. The display has a first side and an opposite, second side, with the display defining an image-bearing surface that is generally co-extensive with substantially the entire first side.
Abstract:
A media includes a frame and an e-paper display recessed relative to a portion of the frame, wherein the frame includes a top surface defining at least a first aperture and the e-paper display embedded within at least a portion of the frame and includes an imaging surface exposed within, and recessed relative to, the first aperture.
Abstract:
A belt drive includes a belt and at least one pair of spaced apart rails extending in a first direction and defining a gap. The belt is aligned with the gap and to be driven in an endless loop with the belt including a first movable portion external to the gap on a first side of the rails and a second movable portion biased to be recessed within the gap on an opposite second side of the rails. A rewritable display medium is releasably engageable in a sandwiched position between a slidable contact surface of the rails and a first segment of the second movable portion external to the gap to move the display medium in the first direction for contact-less imaging via a unit spaced from the rails.
Abstract:
A charge-receiving layer for an e-paper assembly includes a plurality of conductive paths spaced apart throughout an insulative matrix, with each conductive path including at least one elongate pattern of conductive particles.
