ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18443573 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The abstract describes an electronic device with a panel containing scan electrodes, data electrodes, and a cholesteric liquid crystal layer. Different voltage differences are applied to pixels in different areas for writing and erasing modes.
- The electronic device includes a panel with scan electrodes, data electrodes, and a cholesteric liquid crystal layer.
- The scan electrodes and data electrodes intersect to define pixels on the panel.
- In a writing mode, different voltage differences are applied to pixels in the writing area and non-writing area.
- In an erasing mode, a third voltage difference is applied to pixels in the erasing area.
- The technology allows for selective writing and erasing of information on the panel.
Potential Applications: - E-paper displays - Electronic whiteboards - Electronic signage - Smart labels - Electronic notebooks
Problems Solved: - Efficient writing and erasing on electronic displays - Selective display of information - Reduced power consumption
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience - Environmentally friendly - Cost-effective solution for electronic displays
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Electronic Display Technology for Various Applications This technology can be used in e-readers, digital signage, smart labels, and other electronic display devices. The market implications include improved display quality, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
Questions about Electronic Display Technology: 1. How does this technology compare to traditional LCD displays? This technology offers advantages such as lower power consumption and selective writing and erasing capabilities, making it more efficient for certain applications.
2. What are the potential environmental benefits of using this electronic display technology? Using this technology can reduce paper waste by replacing physical documents with electronic displays that can be written on and erased multiple times.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a panel. The panel includes a plurality of scan electrodes, a plurality of data electrodes and a cholesteric liquid crystal layer. The plurality of data electrodes and the plurality of scan electrodes are intersected with each other to define a plurality of pixels. The cholesteric liquid crystal layer is disposed between the plurality of scan electrodes and the plurality of data electrodes. In a writing mode, a first voltage difference is applied to at least one pixel disposed in a writing area, and a second voltage difference is applied to at least a portion of the other pixels disposed in a non-writing area. In an erasing mode, a third voltage difference is applied to at least one pixel disposed in an erasing area, where the first voltage difference is different from the second voltage difference, and the first voltage difference is different from the third voltage difference.
