Embodiments are disclosed for selectively and partially erasing images from a liquid crystal writing device. A liquid crystal writing device according to some embodiments includes a transparent top layer, a liquid crystal layer including a plurality of liquid crystal cells beneath the transparent top layer, a matrix of electrodes, and a control circuitry. The liquid crystal layer displays an image by switching cells to a reflective state. The writing device detects a mechanical pressure applied on a pressed area, the mechanical pressure indicating a command to erase at least a portion of the image from the pressed area. The control circuitry instructs one or more electrodes from the matrix to apply an erase voltage signal to a portion of the liquid crystal cells that correspond to the pressed area, wherein the erase voltage signal switches the portion of the liquid crystal cells to the scattering state. |
