An electrophoretic LCD: Switching with threshold and video rate

Here, an electrophoretic liquid-crystal (EPLC) display, which employs a suspension of pigments with liquid crystals and exhibits switching with threshold and fast response is presented, enabling video rate. The dielectric anisotropy of the LC medium, allowing by applying voltage switching between states with high and low dielectric permittivity, is responsible for this unusual electrophoretic switching.
