E-ink pixels are made of a bunch of capsules, and inside each are a bunch of tiny
pigmented microcapsules that are pulled around by electrical charges to form an all - black or all - white surface.
Not exact matches
An electric field under these
microcapsules is positively or negatively charged, attracting or repelling the
pigments to make the
microcapsule appear while, black, or grey.
Each
microcapsule contains black and white
pigment chips floating in oil.
The video goes on to explain the science behind E Ink displays, how tiny ink
microcapsules placed between two electrodes rearrange charged white and black
pigment chips suspended in clear fluid to form the text or images we see materialize on the display.
Electrophoretic technology refers to the process whereby thousands of
microcapsules, containing (negatively charged) black and (positively charged) white
pigments suspended in a clear fluid, are encapsulated in a plastic sheet.
E Ink's electrophoretic technology puts oppositely charged black and white
pigments into tiny «
microcapsules» filled with a transparent fluid.
The backplane is then laminated with an E Ink frontplane, an array of
microcapsules filled with electrically charged black and white
pigments.
