  • Publication number: 20150293425
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a display apparatus that includes a first layer (30A) and a second layer (30B) disposed adjacent one another. The index of refraction of the second layer (30B) may be different from the index of refraction of the first layer (30A). The apparatus further includes a plurality of electrophoretic particles (20) associated with at least one of the first layer (30A) and the second layer (30B). The present disclosure also relates to a method of manufacturing a display apparatus, including positioning a first layer (30A) adjacent to a second layer (30B). A plurality of electrophoretic particles (20) is positioned within at least one of the first layer (30A) and the second layer (30B). The display apparatus is operated by applying an electric field to cause movement of a plurality of electrophoretic particles (20) through the first layer (30A) toward the second layer (30B).
