Abstract

See full text

A composite textile for generating an electrophoretically driven image. The textile has at least three layers. An outer (relative to an observer of the image) electrode layer is made from a transparent and electrically conductive material. A fibermat layer is under the outer electrode layer, and comprises a mat of one or more fibers, each fiber being transparent and dielectric and having a hollow core that contains a fluid suspension of particles (typically nanoparticles) of at least two color types. A pattern layer is under the fiber mat layer, and has an arrangement of features made from an electrically conductive material. When voltage is applied to the pattern layer, the particles respond by migrating toward the outer electrode or pattern layer, depending on their charge.
