Patent number: 9230492Abstract: An electro-optic display uses first and second drive schemes differing from each other, for example a slow gray scale drive scheme and a fast monochrome drive scheme. The display is first driven to a pre-determined transition image using the first drive scheme, then driven to a second image, different from the transition image, using the second drive scheme. The display is thereafter driven to the same transition image using the second drive scheme; and from then to a third image, different from both the transition image and the second image, using the first drive scheme.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2011Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: E Ink CorporationInventors: Demetrious Mark Harrington, Theodore A. Sjodin, Robert W. Zehner, Timothy J. O'Malley, Benjamin Harris Paletsky

Patent number: 8854721Abstract: A laminate comprising a solid electro-optic medium and an electrically conductive layer is tested by passing it over a pair of electrodes at different potentials, with the electrically conductive layer lying on the opposed side of the electro-optic medium from the electrodes. An article which can be tested by this method, and which is useful in the manufacture of electro-optic displays, comprises a layer of a solid electro-optic medium and a release sheet comprising an electrically conductive layer.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2010Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: E Ink CorporationInventors: Guy M. Danner, Jonathan L. Zalesky, John E. Ritter, Timothy J. O'Malley, Thomas H. Whitesides, Shamus Ford Patry, Alain Bouchard, Richard M. Webber

Publication number: 20130321278Abstract: A touch screen electro-optic display is arranged such that upon a touch being detected on the display surface, the display surface surrounding the touch “blinks” by being driven to a different optical state, then back to its original state. A second method uses a display having a pen or stylus which can draw lines upon the display. A first line segment is detected and its area updated using a first drive scheme having short waveforms. The area of a second line segment is updated using the first drive scheme. Thereafter, the areas of both line segments are updated using a second drive scheme different from the first drive scheme.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2013Publication date: December 5, 2013Applicant: E INK CORPORATIONInventors: Theodore H. Sjodin, Yuval Ben-Dov, Kenneth R. Crounse, Jason Lin, Karl Raymond Amundson, Michael Patrick Almon, Hugh M. Enxing, Timothy J. O'Malley, JR.

Patent number: 8553012Abstract: A first apparatus for displaying drawings comprises a housing having an aperture, a drawing sheet comprising electro-optic material movable through the aperture between closed and open positions, and a writing device for writing on the sheet as it moved between its closed and open positions. A second apparatus comprises a display member having a viewing surface, support means for supporting this display member above a floor, an electro-optic medium disposed on the display member, and a movable writing head for writing on the electro-optic medium. Another display comprises an optic medium with two display states visible through a viewing surface. A touch screen is disposed on the opposed side of the optic medium from the viewing surface, and the optic medium is deformable such that pressure applied to the viewing surface will be transmitted to the touch screen.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2010Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: E Ink CorporationInventors: Allan Scott Baucom, Ara N. Knaian, Heather A. Linden, Timothy J. O'Malley, Russell J. Wilcox
