Energy Efficient Flexible Reflex® Displays |
2009 | Al Green, Erica Montbach, Nick Miller, Don Davis, Asad Khan, Tod Schneider, J. William Doane | Reflex® Electronic Skins, LCD eWriters |
We report on inherently low power, flexible, reflective, bistable cholesteric liquid crystal displays, with the Reflex brand. Several novel application spaces are discussed and their low power impact, including; Reflex electronic skins and pressure sensitive writing tablets. Web processing of Reflex displays will also be discussed and how this represents a paradigm shift in display manufacturing... |

UV Cured Flexible Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Displays |
2008 | Tod Schneider, Erica Montbach, Don Davis, Sean Franklin, Diaz McDaniel, Mark Lightfoot, Nithya Venkataraman, Forrest Nicholson, Asad Khan, J. William Doane | LCD Modules, Reflex® Electronic Skins, LCD eWriters |
Flexible Cholesteric liquid crystal displays have been rapidly maturing into a strong contender in the flexible display market. Encapsulation of the Cholesteric liquid crystal permits the use of flexible plastic substrates and roll-to-roll production. Recent advances include ultra-thin displays, laser cut segmented displays of variable geometry and smart card applications... |

Novel pulsed Drive Scheme for Improved Gray-Level Uniformity of Large-Area Cholesteric Displays |
2008 | Duane Marhefka, Nithya Venkataraman, Asad Khan, Sankar Barua, Forrest Nicholson, Todd Ernst, J. William Doane | LCD Modules |
A new drive scheme is presented for producing uniform grays over large-area, low-resolution cholesteric liquid crystal displays. Gray-level sensitivity to display non-uniformities is minimized, which simplifies display manufacturing... |
