ELECTROPHORETIC DISPLAY PANEL

摘要

For the electrophoretic display panel (1) to be able to be addressed by passive matrix techniques and to be used in light transmissive mode, the electrophoretic display panel (1) has a magnet (120) for generating a magnetic field, and a pixel (2) having electrodes (10,15) for receiving potentials for generating an electric field, an electrophoretic medium (5) having charged particles (6), the particles (6) having a net magnetic moment and being able to be moved to their position for displaying the picture by a combination of the electric and the magnetic field, an entrance window (92), and an exit window (91) for exiting a portion of transmissable light out of the pixel (2). Furthermore, the transmissable light is capable of having a lightpath from entering the pixel (2) via the entrance window (92), passing through the pixel (2) and exiting out of the pixel (2) via the exit window (91), the portion depending on the position of the particles (6). Furthermore, the magnet (120) is arranged outside the lightpath of at least part of the transmissable light for providing the entrance window (92) to be at least partly distinct from the exit window (91).
