Most people when they think about ePaper displays immediate think about E Ink. E Ink Holdings (EIH) has been very successful in bringing its ePaper displays to the market - and today these are prevalent in e-readers, electronic shelf labels, e-notebooks and many other applications. While EIH indeed has a clear leadership in the ePaper market, it is not alone.
But first of all, it is important to note that there are many display technologies that could be called ePaper displays. Most people would only consider truly bi-stable displays able to show dot-matrix images as ePaper displays, but some other technologies that are not truly bi-stable also exist and some consider these as ePaper displays as well - for example Memory LCDs. In addition some simpler displays technologies that are similar to ePaper in properties also exist. We will discuss both these technologies in this article.
The imprinting of macromolecular templates (Mw > 1500 Da) within polymers has been the object of extensive studies [23,24,25,26,27]. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), with their tailored molecular cavities, enable for the selective recognizing of target analytes via binding in these cavities, similarly to biological receptors or antibodies [28,29]. Therefore, MIPs can be used as selective recognition units in chemosensors. As such, they are often called “plastic antibodies”. Interestingly, the application of LCs in the preparation of MIPs can essentially be beneficial in terms of the lower cross-linker amount that is required [30]. Moreover, the LC-containing MIP films were considered as recognition units in chemosensors for organophosphate [31]. However, no clear advantage over other types of MIPs was indicated.
The combination of the ease of preparation and plausible sensitivity of LC-based sensors with robust and highly selective MIPs may result in a promising method of the fabrication of stable, sensitive, and selective chemosensors. To this end, herein, we have devised and fabricated a new optical LC chemosensor. A film of MIP templated with HSA and deposited by electropolymerization served as its recognition unit. The preliminary results of this study were reported as a poster at the SMCBS’2017 workshop [32]. In the present paper, we show the final results of the studies in this direction. The HSA analyte binding by the MIP affects the orientation of LC molecules. In effect, light intensity passing through the sensing unit is changed, thus allowing for the detection and quantification of the analyte.
The combination of the MIP-based recognition with LC-based transduction offers the possibility of sensor miniaturization with relative ease given the existing LCD technology. Furthermore, it provides the opportunity of signal multiplexing, potentially allowing for parallel analyte determination in multiple samples and the simultaneous determination of various analytes, as well as an “artificial tongue”-type sensor fabrication. It is noteworthy that, for the LC sensor performance, macromolecules (globulins, fibrinogen, etc.) would be the main interferences, and not small molecules, because the former can strongly influence the order of LC molecules in the sensor cell. Thus, globulins and fibrinogen will be the main interferences in the blood plasma samples. However, molecules of all these proteins are much larger than those of the HSA. Therefore, they would not fit the molecular cavities of the MIP. Another target sample, urine, predominantly contains compounds with small molecular mass (urea, creatinine and electrolytes). Possible interferences, e.g., proteins, are typically present in abnormal urine samples. Such samples may contain mainly HSA. Hence, interference here is much less pronounced than for blood plasma samples.
Apart from the MIP display, we would require a supportive display controller. The S1D13C00 model from Epson is a display controller for low-power memory and EInk EPD displays used in wearable devices. It supports interfaces with 6-bit color memory-in-pixel (MIP) panels, 3-bit and 1-bit black-and-white panels (SPI interface), EInk EPD panels (3/4-wire serial interface), and 1/2/4/8 bpp grayscale memory LCD panels (8-bit parallel or 3/4-wire serial).

Japan Display Inc. (JDI), a leading global supplier of small- and medium-sized displays, has announced the start of sales of a standard line-up of memory-in-pixel (MIP) reflective-type color LCD modules for wristwatch-type wearable devices which realize ultra-low power consumption.
Power consumption of these reflective-type LCD modules is less than 0.5%* that of transparent-type LCD modules. Samples will be available in March 2015 and the start of sales will be in July 2015.
Low power consumption is a key factor for wearable devices, to provide long battery life. Since the new reflective-type modules display images by reflecting light, they do not require a backlight, which typically contributes up to approximately 80%* of the total power consumption of an LCD module. Furthermore, since the MIP structure has a static random access memory transistor fabricated in each sub-pixel, in the case of still screen images, once the data is written it is held, resulting in ultra-low power consumption. In addition, the optimized optical design contributes to bright and crisp reflective-type color images, especially under bright sunlight conditions.
JDI has produced and sold reflective-type color LCD modules for wristwatch-type wearable devices since January 2014. Now, JDI’s intention is to widen the business of reflective-type color LCD modules for wearable devices by offering a new line-up of standard products. The standard line-up will help to minimize the workload of product development and shorten the time period for product release. JDI is also planning to offer an additional line-up of standard reflective-type color LCD modules, not only for wearable devices but also for industrial applications, to meet the wide range of market needs for displays with ultra-low power consumption.
Visiting JDI at SID is always a challenge - there is always so much to see and so much of it is both innovative and genuinely interesting to specialist display geeks like us. We have two extra articles about what JDI showed, but we also went around the booth. (JDI Shows Floating 3D and Light Field Displays)
The first display we looked at a reflective 32" FullHD LCD using a front light and using JDI"s Memory-in-Pixel (MIP) to use just 260mW in still image reflective mode. The display uses around 40 times more power in its video mode, but that still means a very low power display. JDI is interested in applications where, for example, the display might be solar/battery powered such as in transport applications. Matt reported on the paper at the Symposium and took an image with flash in the display"s reflective mode, which looked better than the front-lit mode that I captured. (JDI Shows Reflective Display For Digital Signage)
As well as digital signage, the MIP LCD technology is useful in wearables and there was a round 1.04" reflective display with 8 colours that uses very low power. It has 208 x 208 resolution and there are also larger versions with 64 colours with 1.1" diagonal (218 x 218) and 1.2" (240 x 240)
JDI is working with E Ink to improve the performance of EPD displays. In the past, E Ink displays used amorphous silicon (a-si) backplanes. However, JDI has developed LTPS backplanes that can improve the resolution of the E Ink displays from 112ppi using a-si to 400ppi or even 600 ppi. The E Ink display layer stays the same, but by using a finer grained substrate and field, there is, effectively, sub-pixel level control of the ink particles. JDI was showing samples of 400 ppi and 600 ppi and highlighted that it also allowed narrower borders and integrated sensors. Although the company described the project as "just a technology test", as we heard in the Business Conference, LTPS LCD will come under a lot of competitive pressure from AMOLED, so LTPS backplanes may become available for this application, although they will cost more than a-si.
JDI now has a third generation of development of its LTPS technology and has been working on lower refresh rates to reduce power consumption, but without generating flicker. The company was showing a panel running at 15Hz when static images are being shown, which reduces drive power by around 50% from the Gen 1 in 2015 and by 30% from last year"s Gen 2. The system detects when there is motion and can switch to 60Hz. The 5.5" display has just 0.55mm borders and 2560 x 1440 resolution (538 ppi)
Next we looked at some 3.4" LCDs with 1440 x 1700 resolution (651 ppi) for VR headsets. The panels have 3ms response (B/W), 6ms (G2G) and can support 90Hz refresh. The company uses a blinking backlight to help with motion and claims a 1ms BET (blur edge time). Contrast is 800:1 and the
JDI is responding to requests for narrow borders all around the display with its "Full Active" architecture. As well as showing how the technology could allow multi-display devices (see image), it also showed how software could be used to "virtually" combine multiple individual displays on different phones to create a single "video wall" for big images.
The Full Active displays will be available during 2017, with flexible LCDs (Full Active Flex) coming at the end of the year. By the end of 2018, JDI plans to supply Full Active X foldable displays, including OLEDs.
JDI is not yet supplying OLEDs in volume, but had a good looking flexible OLED at the event. The 5.5" FullHD display had 401ppi and used RGB deposition by fine shadow mask. Although JDI has taken ownership of JOLED and can access its technology, JOLED has been working on inkjet deposition. The display has 700 cd/m² of output and 110% of DCI P3 colour gamut. The substrate is LTPS and was made on the G4.5 pilot line at Ishikawa.
A particularly interesting development was a new transparent display. This uses a new LCD mode and has no polariser or colour filter which means that the transparency can be very high - JDI said that the device can get to 80%. The 4" sample has 300 x 360 resolution (117ppi). The LC material uses scattering. We couldn"t get a lot of detail at the show, but we understand that it uses a frame sequential LED system to eliminate the filter (Sharp showed a transparent FS LCD at ISE earlier this year Impact of Foxconn Acquisiton Shows at Sharp). The light goes through the glass using TIR and the LC material, when subject to a field, frustrates the TIR and the light is emitted. At the moment this is a technology demonstration, but JDI plans to continue development for use in display applications and also for windows and mirrors.
Finally, we looked at an instrument cluster mock-up for automotive applications and using dual 10.0" displays, each with 1440 x 1080 resolution (308 ppi). Contrast is 1500:1 and colour gamut is 75% of NTSC. The LTPS LCDs, which use JDI"s IPS-Neo technology which supports local dimming for true blacks, and which we saw last year, looked good.
That wasn"t the end of the booth, which also covered KOE"s industrial displays and demonstrations of fast response video which was the same demo as last year.
Memory In Pixel (MIP) function is equipped in the color reflective LCD. These LCD modules are suitable for a wide variety of IoT products and application, including outdoor sports gears, medical & healthcare devices, remote controllers, and portable devices. JDI"s Low power consumption technology contributes to long battery drive devices.
JDI carries out development relating to not only improvement of display performance with higher resolution and higher picture quality, but also to reflective-type color displays for realization of ultra-low power consumption.
JDI"s reflective-type display optimizes its optical design by using a newly-developed scattering layer. At the same time, ultra-low power consumption is achieved when still images are displayed by adopting a memory-in-pixel structure using low temperature poly-silicon technology. This technology supports development of new applications like smart watches and e-readers.
One most outstanding characteristic of reflective-type LCD is its readability under strong ambient light. LCD can be read clearly by the reflection of ambient light without backlight unit (see Picture 1). However, in order to increase its application versatility with color display, readability drops after applying color filter above the reflective layer. The total brightness will reduce by around 70%.
To improve brightness, JDI uses optical light control technologies to optimize viewing angle for specific screen sizes. When light goes into LCD, the light control technologies help to efficiently reflect more light, resulting in wider viewing angle.
JDI MIP reflective-type color displays bring memory LCD to a colorful world. 8 colors display enable customer to do more design for information demonstration, see Picture 2. With new circuit technology, LCD can be more compact for variety of applications than before. Power consumption is also lower than current solution in the market. Our 1.28”, 2.7”, and 4.4” LCD have market trend’s simple interface which allow easy customer evaluation. In future Eco and IoT world, Reflective-type color display is expected to play an important role for its ultra-low power consumption characteristic.
(Since reflective-type LCD is expressed by 8 gradations, in the case of images expressed with more gradations than 8 gradations, it is preferable to perform area gradation display by digital filter (error diffusion processing etc.) processing.)
In JDI reflective-type color display, there’s a memory in each pixel which can store image without continuous signal input. In this case, controller in customer’s system can be in sleep mode or totally off to achieve ultra-low power consumption (around 1-5μA for still image for 2.7” panel). As shown in Figure 1, in comparison with transmissive LCD, to use reflective-type LCD can save 80% of power due to no backlight is needed; Additionally, this technology can save 19% more power during displaying still image. If partial screen data updates is needed, end user can choose multiple line update or single line update to refresh display instead of re-writing the whole screen.
Many Apple products use liquid crystal displays (LCD). LCD technology uses rows and columns of addressable points (pixels) that render text and images on the screen. Each pixel has three separate subpixels—red, green and blue—that allow an image to render in full color. Each subpixel has a corresponding transistor responsible for turning that subpixel on and off.
Depending on the display size, there can be thousands or millions of subpixels on the LCD panel. For example, the LCD panel used in the iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019) has a display resolution of 5120 x 2880, which means there are over 14.7 million pixels. Each pixel is made up of a red, a green, and a blue subpixel, resulting in over 44 million individual picture elements on the 27-inch display. Occasionally, a transistor may not work perfectly, which results in the affected subpixel remaining off (dark) or on (bright). With the millions of subpixels on a display, it is possible to have a low number of such transistors on an LCD. In some cases a small piece of dust or other foreign material may appear to be a pixel anomaly. Apple strives to use the highest quality LCD panels in its products, however pixel anomalies can occur in a small percentage of panels.
In many cases pixel anomalies are caused by a piece of foreign material that is trapped somewhere in the display or on the front surface of the glass panel. Foreign material is typically irregular in shape and is usually most noticeable when viewed against a white background. Foreign material that is on the front surface of the glass panel can be easily removed using a lint free cloth. Foreign material that is trapped within the screen must be removed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store.
If you are concerned about pixel anomalies on your display, take your Apple product in for closer examination at an Apple Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or an Independent Repair Provider. There may be a charge for the evaluation. Genuine Apple parts are also available for out-of-warranty repairs through Self Service Repair.*
