Title

Device Construction and Application Development of Multifunctional Electrophoretic Displays

Abstract：

As an intelligent terminal interface for human-computer interaction, the performance of a display directly impacts the user’s visual experience. Therefore, developing display technologies adapted to the Internet of Things (IoT) era has become inevitability. Meanwhile, diversified display demands have exposed display devices to more intricate application scenarios, such as outdoor displays and flexible wearable displays. Developing display technologies with the features of low power consumption, high ambient contrast ratio and eye protection has become a key research direction in the current display field. Electrophoretic Display (EPD) technology, as the most commercially advanced display technology among reflective electronic papers, have advantages including low power consumption, flexibility and eye protection, demonstrating great application potential in areas such as outdoor displays and IoT displays. However, most electrophoretic displays available on the market currently adopt a vertical driving mode, which hindered the development of electrophoretic displays. To expand the application scenarios of electrophoretic displays, this report focuses on aspects such as the structural optimization of electrophoretic display devices, and further explores the multifunctional application scenarios of electrophoretic displays in smart windows and dynamic anti-counterfeiting devices.
