  • Publication number: 20070007889
    Abstract: A dynamic foil display 900 is provided wherein the spacer elements 902, 904 also serve as resistance-reducing tracks for the electrode circuitry. Resistance-reduction can thereby be provided for the row and column electrodes as well as for the foil electrode. To this end a foil display 900 comprises a light guide plate 905; a passive plate 910; and a transparent light-scattering foil 903 sandwiched between and separated from said plates by means of spacer elements 902, 904 is described. The spacer elements 902, 904 are arranged essentially along rows and columns on said plates 905, 910 and thereby define a plurality of pixel elements arranged in a matrix configuration along said rows and columns.
