Abstract:
An apparatus and method of using a driver (e.g., a commercially available, off-the-shelf driver) designed for a traditional passive matrix liquid crystal display, such as a Twisted Nematic (TN) and supertwisted nematic (STN) displays, for example, to drive a bistable liquid crystal display.
Abstract:
A stacked color liquid display (fig.4) uses shared electrode addressing including a plurality of liquid crystal layers each sandwiched between electrically conductive layers (layers 31 , 32). Adjacent liquid crystal layers (fig. 4) share one or two electrode layers located between the adjacent liquid crystal layers. A driving scheme is provided that allows the display to be driven by updating the liquid crystal layers sequentially, concurrently, or some combination of the two. Further, a method of manufacturing the display using a deposition process is also disclosed.
