Progress on Color Electrophoretic Displays

Abstract

Electrophoretic display (EPD), also known as E-paper, is a reflective display whose mechanism is different from active emission display such as organic light emission display (OLED) and liquid crystal display (LCD). The commercially available EPDs are mainly black-and-white ones which are used as price tags and e-readers. Herein, some strategies for realizing a full-color EPD are reviewed. A full-color EPD would be a promising candidate in wearable electronics for information display due to its light-weight, flexible, and ultra-low power consumption.
