Touch electronic paper and touch electronic paper system

Abstract

The invention discloses touch electronic paper, which comprises a passive electronic paper display layer serving as a display layer and a capacitance touch layer serving as a touch layer, wherein the passive electronic paper display layer can display a plurality of patterns and a plurality of pattern combinations. A touch electronic paper system is provided with the touch electronic paper and a control system; and reconfiguration of an operating interface can be realized. A device, particularly a notebook computer, a remote controller or a household appliance which adopts the touch electronic paper system takes the touch electronic paper as a user operating interface.. The touch electronic paper has the advantages of low cost, high efficiency, long service life, attractive appearance and the like.

Description

Technical field [0001] Man-machine interface technology, especially the man-machine interface technology that applies electronic paper and touch technology. Background technique [0002] Electronic paper technology, such as the electrophoretic display technology of E INK Corporation of the United States, can achieve paper-like reading effects, as well as flexibility, ultra-thinness, and extremely low power consumption. Electronic paper technology is actually a general term for a type of display technology. Other electronic paper technologies include electrowetting display, reflective liquid crystal display, reflective coherent display technology, etc. Their characteristics and uses are similar to EINK’s electrophoretic display technology. The cost of electronic paper depends on the backplane technology used. When an active matrix (such as TFT) backplane is used, its cost is higher, which is suitable for e-book applications; when a passive backplane is used, some simple preset pa...

Problems solved by technology

However, it is not convenient to make electronic paper buttons, and it is inconvenient to clean, and the flexibility is not good

[0005] In the Chinese utility model patent 200620133117.8, a light guide plate is used to realize the "reconfigurable" operation interface, but its disadvantages are obvious: 1) The installation of the light guide plate and LED is complicated and the thickness is relatively thick, 2) The key display The content is realized by printing or laser engraving, which has great limitations

3) Unable to achieve partial lighting

However, common touch screens, such as liquid crystal display touch screens, or electronic paper touch screens used in e-books, are expensive and not suitable for simple user input interfaces; or reconfigurable buttons have complex structures and low reliability. Low, and unsightly
