Abstract
An insertable cartridge for insertion into a receiving structure having electronic addressing circuitry for forming a visual image of a stored image is disclosed. The cartridge includes a housing for receiving a plurality of receivers, each receiver including field-driven particles in a matrix that can change reflective density in response to an applied electric field which intersect at positions corresponding to pixels and the housing defining alignment features for insertion into the receiving structure which receives and positions an inserted cartridge. The housing further includes electronic interconnecting circuitry for connection between the addressing circuitry and a receiver after a cartridge has been inserted in the receiving structure for permitting the application of voltages at the pixel positions across the field-driven particles at particular locations in the receiver corresponding to pixels in the stored image to produce an image in the receiver in the cartridge.
