摘要:
An image forming medium includes a substrate, and an imaging layer coated on or impregnated into said substrate, wherein the imaging layer includes an imaging composition including a photochromic or photochromic-thermochromic material dissolved or dispersed in a solvent or polymeric binder, wherein the imaging composition is imageable by light of a first wavelength and erasable in a short time period by a combination of heat and light of a second wavelength such that simultaneous erase with heat and light of the second wavelength is faster than erase by heat alone and exhibits a reversible transition between a colorless and a colored state.

Set forth is an electrophoretic display device including a display region, between substrates, at least one of which is transparent, the display region including a multiplicity of pixels, wherein one or more of the pixels have three or more subpixels, the three or more subpixels being made up of individual reservoirs that each contain a display medium of one or more set of colored particles in a dielectric fluid. The display mediums include two different colors therein so that the subpixel is capable of exhibiting each of the two different colors, and each of the three or more subpixels include a display medium having a combination of two colors that is different from the combinations of two colors of the display mediums of the other of the three or more subpixels. A method of displaying a full color image with the display device is also provided.
摘要:
A cholesteric display including a cholesteric liquid crystal, and a dipolar dopant having limited miscibility in the cholesteric liquid crystal is provided. In accordance with another aspect, a process is provided for forming a cholesteric liquid crystal composition by dissolving a dipolar dopant having limited solubility into a cholesteric liquid crystal. The liquid crystal composition can be utilized to produce a cholesteric display. The liquid crystal domains in the liquid crystal composition rotate away from a planar state in the presence of an applied electric field and the degree of rotation is a function of the applied electric field strength. The reflected color is then a function of the applied electric field.

The presently disclosed embodiments are directed to image forming mediums useful for reimageable and transient documents. More particularly, the embodiments pertain to an image forming medium comprising thermally gated photochromic materials comprising diarylethene (DAE) photochromes which avoid problems with unwanted reduction in color contrast due to background coloration.
摘要:
An ink set is made up of at least three differently colored phase change inks, for example cyan, magenta and yellow, wherein at least one of the colored phase change inks is a photochromic ink that contains a photochromic material. Upon exposure to activating radiation such as ultraviolet light, the at least one photochromic ink changes to a color different from the color of the photochromic ink prior to exposure to the activating radiation.
摘要:
A cholesteric display is provided including a bistable liquid crystalline mixture contained between a first substrate and a second substrate of a liquid crystal cell, and a polymer network orthogonally oriented with respect to the substrates, thereby defining liquid crystal domains, with a dipolar dopant dissolved in the liquid crystalline mixture. A process for producing a cholesteric display is also provided.

An image forming medium including at least a polymer and a photochromic compound such as spiropyran embedded in the polymer, wherein spiropyran molecules of the spiropyran compound are chelated by a cation.
摘要:
Magnetic display devices include low-density silica coated magnetic and nonmagnetic particles. In a one-particle system, low-density silica coated magnetic particles coated by a sol-gel process are used in combination with non-magnetic particles. In a two-particle system, low-density silica coated magnetic particles coated by a sol-gel process are used in combination with low-density silica coated non-magnetic particles. Display devices employing silica coated magnetic particles minimize the tendency of the magnetic particles to aggregate. Silica coated magnetic particles in a display device results in a magnetic display with improved image stability. Low-density silica coated magnetic particles in a display device allow for particles to move easily through a dispersion fluid in response to a magnetic field.
