Electric ink displays

Zikon's electric ink technology uses nanodroplets of colored ink to create images on paperlike substrates. Images can be changed by application of low voltages.

Paper-like displays are opening previously inaccessible segments in the display market. They are characterized by low power consumption and paper-like appearance, including ambient -light readability without a backlight and wide viewing angles.

Zikon's proprietary electric ink technology meets market demands for paper-like displays by offering high contrast and great viewability along with low voltage (logic level) operation at an exceptionally affordable cost.

Image Description

High Contrast, Low Cost, Low Power


•Great viewability: paper-like appearance
•Rigid or flexible substrates.
•Low, logic-level, driving voltage (<3V)
•Simple design
•Very low manufacturing cost
•Very low power consumption.

Transmissive / Transparent Displays

Transmissive displays operate on the principle of dipole-dipole interactions between polarizable nanodroplets. The displays are made sandwiching an all liquid ink between two transparent electrodes. No filters, polarizers, surface treatments, or other features needed.
