World’s first color carbon nanotube based electrophoric display
20 October 2008A joint development program between Samsung Electronics co. ltd and Unidym Inc., a majority owned subsidiy of Arrowhead Reasearch Corporation have resulted in the development of World’s first carbon nanotube based color active matrix electrophoric display (EPD). The announcement was recently made by Unidym at International meeting on Informational display (iMiD) at KINTEX, Ilsan, Korea.
The new color e-paper device is 14.3” format display and uses a carbon nanotube (CNT) transparent electrode developed by Unidym, Inc. Before developing an e-paper in A4 format, Samsung earlier developed world’s first 2.3-inch black and white active matrix EPD using carbon nanotubes.
EPD’s have many advantages over the conventional displays. These are the modern display systems having low power consumptions and bright light readability. As these can easily be produced on thin surfaces, EPD’s are really suited for e-paper applications. EPD’s have one more advantage over flat panel displays as these can retain text and images without refreshing and therefore reduces power consumption significantly.
