CPC G02F 1/1685 (2019.01) [G02F 1/0128 (2013.01); G02F 1/167 (2013.01)] | 19 Claims |
1. A pressure-sensitive electrophoretic display, the display comprising:
a magnetic layer configured to produce a magnetic field;
an electrophoretic layer comprising an electrically- and magnetically-addressable ink medium and configured to locally change state based on an applied pressure; and
a deformable layer located between the magnetic layer and the electrophoretic layer,
wherein applying a pressure to a location on the pressure-sensitive electrophoretic display causes a displacement of at least a part of the deformable layer, allowing the electrophoretic layer to move closer to the magnetic layer, thereby causing a change in the magnetic field experienced by a portion of the electrophoretic layer located at the location, thereby causing a local change of state in the electrophoretic layer.
