63.1: Invited Paper: The Impact of Materials and System Design Choices on Reflective Display Quality for Mobile Device Applications

The use of reflective displays in mobile devices requires manufacturing solutions that preserve the performance advantages of sunlight readability and low power consumption. This paper will review how current manufacturing techniques and the use of subsystems such as touch screens impact the quality of the display. We will highlight areas of potential improvement.

5.1: Invited Paper: A 5.7″ Color Mirasol® XGA Display For High Performance Applications

A 5.7″ color reflective display module based on bi-stable Interference Modulation Devices (IMODs) with a projective capacitive touchscreen is described. The operation of the module is outlined and the performance reported. The system level developments necessary to achieve the high reflectivity, color and video operation while maintaining low power consumption are discussed.
