Abstract

A high-resolution active-matrix microencapsulated electrophoretic display (EPD) driven by polycrystalline-silicon thin-film transistors (poly-Si TFTs) with integrated drivers has been developed for the first feasibility study of electronic paper. The poly-Si TFTs were fabricated with a low temperature process below 425/spl deg/C. Microencapsulated electrophoretic material was coated on the TFT backplane, which was driven at 18 V. The resolution of the display is quarter VGA (video graphics array), and pixel pitch is 131 ppi (pixels per inch). As a result, this display offers a wide viewing angle, high contrast ratio and nonvolatilization of data. In addition, four-level grayscale images were also achieved by using an area ratio grayscale (ARG) driving method.
