    摘要: The present invention relates to a front light system which can be built with thin film light emitting diodes (LEDs), such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) or electro-luminescent light emitting diodes. The front light system may be built on a thin and flexible substrate and can generate lighting of satisfactory uniformity and with high efficiency. The system also can potentially be inexpensive. The front light system of the present invention is particularly suitable for keymat applications wherein a flexible reflective display on top of a touch sensitive surface or device, is used as an output device.

    摘要: Methods and systems for writing and erasing electric writeable media are disclosed. An electric writeable medium may include a backplane electrode, a display layer including a plurality of elements and a top layer. The medium may further include a plurality of island electrodes. To enable writing to the medium, a stylus is charged to a positive voltage and the backplane electrode is grounded. The stylus is applied to the top layer and/or the island electrodes to deposit charge, which causes proximate elements to display a first color. If the top layer is a resistive layer, grounding the resistive layer and applying a positive voltage to the backplane electrode sufficient to change the displayed color of the elements erases the medium. If the top layer is a photoconductive layer, a light source is further required to enable the photoconductive layer to operate as an electrode when erasing the medium.

    摘要: An electrophoretic display (EPD) with thermal control is disclosed for controlling and maintaining an image in extreme temperature environments. Techniques are also disclosed for maintaining the EPD cell threshold voltage for EPD cells comprising an EPD display media at or above a desired level in an environment in which the EPD may be subjected to an extreme temperature. The techniques comprise sensing a sensed temperature associated with the EPD display media, determining whether the sensed temperature satisfies a criterion established to ensure that the display media temperature remains at a level associated with an acceptable EPD cell threshold voltage, and in the event it is determined that the sensed temperature does not satisfy the criterion, controlling the EPD display media temperature as required to bring the sensed temperature to a level that satisfies the criterion.
