An electrophoretic display including a low-modulus adhesive foam. The electrophoretic display additionally includes a conductive integrated barrier layer including a light-transmissive electrode and a moisture barrier. In some embodiments, the resulting electrophoretic display may include touch sensing, a front light, color, and a digitizing layer to record interactions with a stylus. In some embodiments, the display includes a color filter array.

Foldable electrophoretic display module including non-conductive support plate

A foldable electrophoretic display that is flexible and may be folded in a book-like fashion. Foldable electrophoretic display modules that can be separately manufactured and incorporated into a variety of foldable devices with differing functionality as needed by the consumer. In some embodiments, the resulting foldable electrophoretic display may include touch sensing, a front light, color, and a digitizing layer to record interactions with a stylus. In some embodiments, the display includes a color filter array.

An image display apparatus having a flexible electronic display comprising a bendable portion that is flexible and configured to display an image, a support member comprising a substantially planar portion that resists bending and a bending-protection portion that bends and protects the bendable portion of the flexible display, and a retainer for retaining the flexible electronic display proximal to a surface of the support member.

Foldable electro-optic display apparatus

An electro-optic display that is flexible and may be folded in a book-like fashion. The display apparatus may include a flexible display and a bending mechanism for accommodating the flexible display in a closed state. Portions of the flexible electro-optic display can be coupled to regions of the planar support members so that when the display is in an open state, the display lays flat and smooth. In advanced embodiments, the electro-optic display may include touch sensing or a digitizing layer to record interactions with a stylus.

Foldable electro-optic display including digitization and touch sensing

A flexible, wearable apparatus comprising a flexible display, a support member and a retainer. In some embodiments, the flexible, wearable apparatus can be used in a flat or rounded configuration. In some embodiments, the flexible support member is formed to provide a substantially planar viewing surface for the electrophoretic display when the flexible, wearable apparatus is in a rounded state.

Wearable apparatus having a flexible electrophoretic display

A device including a substrate, two or more electrodes facing each other disposed on the substrate and a positive hole injection transport layer disposed between two electrodes among the two or more electrodes, wherein the positive hole injection transport layer contains a reaction product of a transition metal complex or complexes, and wherein at least one or more kinds of transition metals selected from the group consisting of vanadium, rhenium and platinum, or a mixture of molybdenum and one or more kinds of transition metals selected from the group consisting of vanadium, rhenium and platinum is contained in a central metal or metals of the transition metal complex or complexes.
