Samsung Electronics Showcases the First Color Carbon Nanotube-based Electrophoretic Display

Unidym, a majority-owned subsidiary of Arrowhead Research Corporation, announced today that Samsung Electronics demonstrated the world's first carbon nanotube-based color active matrix electrophoretic display (EPD) e-paper at the International Meeting on Information Display (iMiD) in Korea. The new color e-paper device is a 14.3" format display and is the result of an ongoing joint development program between Samsung Electronics and Unidym. The e-paper device uses a carbon nanotube (CNT) transparent electrode developed by Unidym.

EPD's offer inherent advantages over traditional flat panel displays due to their low power consumption and bright light readability, making them well suited for handheld and mobile applications. Since they can be produced on thin, flexible substrates, EPD's also are ideally suited for use in e-paper applications. Unlike conventional flat panel displays, EPD's rely on reflected light, and can retain text or images without constant refreshing, thereby dramatically reducing power consumption.
