Publication number: 20230185153Abstract: Optical states in TIR-based image displays may be modulated by movement of electrophoretically mobile particles into and out of the evanescent wave region at the interface of a high refractive index convex protrusions and a low refractive index medium. The movement of particles into the evanescent wave region may frustrate TIR and form dark states at pixels. Movement of particles out of the evanescent wave region may allow for TIR of incident light to form bright states at pixels. The movement of the particles may be controlled by employing the drive methods of pulse width modulation, voltage modulation or a combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: CONCORD (HK) INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION LIMITEDInventors: Thomas JOHANSSON, Vivek PORUSH, Graham BEALES, Peter T.
