The present invention is directed to a display device which comprises two layers of insulating substrate, at least the substrate on the viewing side is transparent, an array of display cells sandwiched between the two layers of substrate, a writing means, and optionally an erasing means to magnetically or electrically erase the image. The display cells are filled with a dispersion of magnetic particles which may be charged or non-charged. The display of the invention eliminates the use of the transparent conductor film, such as ITO, on the viewing side. Therefore, the displays of this invention are more cost effective, more flexible and durable and capable of higher image contrast ratio and higher reflectance in the Dmin area.

Magnetophoretic and electromagnetophoretic displays

The present invention is directed to a display device which includes an array of sealed microcups containing particles of a designated electric and magnetic characteristic suspended in a solvent wherein a surface of a plurality of the sealed microcups constituting a transparent surface. The display device further includes an electromagnetic image writing/drawing pen for manually applying an electromagnetic field on the particles of the designated electric and magnetic characteristic in the microcups to form an image viewable from the transparent surface. More particularly, the particles of the designated electric and magnetic characteristic are charged particles and the writing and drawing pen is an electrical writing/drawing pen.
