    摘要: Bichromal balls have two hemispheres, typically one black and one white, each having different electrical properties. Each ball is enclosed within a spherical shell and then a space between the ball and shell is filled with a liquid to form a microsphere so that the ball is free to rotate in response to an electrical field. The microspheres can then be mixed into a substrate which can be formed into sheets or can be applied to any kind of surface. The result is a film which can form an image from an applied electrical field.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a multisegmented ball for an electrical twisting ball display device, which is made up of spheroidal balls rotatably disposed in an elastomer substrate. The ball is composed of segments arrayed substantially parallel to one another, each segment being adjacent to at least one other segment and to no more than two other segments, adjacent segments being adjoined to one another at substantially planar interfaces. The method for fabricating the multisegmented spheroidal balls comprises the steps of first providing a multiplicity of liquid flows, each liquid flow having an associated flow rate, each liquid flow being a flow of a hardenable liquid material associated with an optical modulation characteristic. The multiplicity of flows are then merged into a combined liquid flow where each one of the plurality of liquid flows is joined to at least one other of the plurality of liquid flows at a planar interface. After forming a combined liquid flow, a ligament is formed from the combined liquid flow and a plurality of spheroidal balls are formed from the ligament, each of the balls comprising a multiplicity of segments where each one of the multiplicity of segments is joined to at least one other of the multiplicity of segments at a planar interface. After the balls are formed they are hardened.

    摘要: A multilayer substrate material for a subtractive-color electrical twisting ball display. The material is composed of a layered substrate including first, second, and third layers, each layer of the substrate being a nearest neighboring layer with respect to at least one other layer and no more than two other layers. Spheroidal balls are disposed in each of the first, second, and third layers. In the first layer, each ball has at least two component regions including a component region having a first chromatic color, such as transparent cyan. In the second layer, each ball has at least two component regions including a component region having a second chromatic color, such as transparent magenta. In the third layer, each ball has at least two component regions including a component region having a third chromatic color, such as transparent yellow. Optionally, the substrate can further include a fourth layer in which are disposed spheroidal balls, each having at least two component regions including a black component region. Each ball in each layer has an anisotropy for providing an electrical dipole moment, the electrical dipole moment rendering the ball electrically responsive such that when the ball is rotatably disposed in a nonoscillating electric field while the electrical dipole moment of the ball is provided, the ball tends to rotate to an orientation in which the electrical dipole moment aligns with the field. Also disclosed are a twisting-ball apparatus made with the material, and a method for using this apparatus.

    摘要: A seven-segment ball for an electrical twisting ball display device made up of spheroidal balls rotatably disposed in an elastomer substrate. The device built with the seven-segment balls can provide, for example, two fully saturated colors, two partially saturated colors, and a background color, such as white. The ball is composed of seven segments arrayed substantially parallel to one another, each segment being adjacent to at least one other segment and to no more than two other segments, adjacent segments being adjoined to one another at substantially planar interfaces. The seven segments include a transparent central segment, transparent first and second exterior segments, and four colored interior segments, two on each side of the central segment. For example, the first, second, third, and fourth interior segments can each have different colors such as red, black, blue, and green. The ball has an anisotropy for providing an electrical dipole moment, the electrical dipole moment rendering the ball electrically responsive such that when the ball is rotatably disposed in an electric field while the electrical dipole moment of the ball is provided, the ball tends to rotate to an orientation in which the electrical dipole moment aligns with the field. Also disclosed are: an apparatus made up of a substrate in which are disposed the aforementioned balls, together with electrodes to facilitate a rotation of balls rotatably disposed therein; and a method for using this apparatus.

    摘要: An electrocapillary color display sheet is disclosed which utilizes three spaced apart and parallel sheets in which the medial sheet has a plurality of sets of at least two reservoirs. Each reservoir in each set holds a different color polar liquid and each liquid in each reservoir has an individual electrical contact. By selectively activating each liquid in each reservoir of each set of reservoirs, the activated liquid of the set of reservoirs will flow into a space commonly shared by the liquids of that set of reservoirs to create a colored pixel. Deactivating the liquids will cause each liquid to retreat back into its reservoir which in turn clears the colored pixel.
