Revolutionary cost-optimized electrophoretic displays for mass production using printed electrodes and binary microcapsules.
Ultra-Low Cost
Reflective Display
A cost-optimized electrophoretic display designed for mass production using roll-to-roll printed electrodes and simplified addressing schemes.
Eliminates complex backplanes and uses commodity printing inks and plastics for maximum cost reduction.
Designed for roll-to-roll manufacturing with minimal registration steps and single-pass lamination.
Reflective technology that maintains images without power, perfect for signage and labels.
Reduce per-unit material and process cost
Avoid active-matrix TFT backplanes
Enable high throughput roll-to-roll manufacturing
Provide acceptable contrast for signage and labels
