SiPix Introduces Evaluation Kits for Electronic Paper Display on Smartcards.Evaluation Kits Enable the Development of Ultra-Thin, Flexible, Low Power ePaper-Based Displays for the Financial, Transportation, and Enterprise Security Markets FREMONT, Calif. -- SiPix Imaging, Inc., an award-winning manufacturer of next-generation electronic paper displays, today announced the availability of its third generation evaluation kit for manufacturers and system integrators. The evaluation kit simplifies integration of the company's unique, low power and ultra-thin displays to develop a new generation of products. Kits include an electronic paper display module, a display controller, a power supply, and supporting documentation. "The SiPix Microcup[R] structure is versatile and among the thinnest and most durable electronic displays offering ultra-crisp resolutions for a variety of next generation applications," said Andrew Ho, President of SiPix Imaging, Inc. "Our industry-leading electronic paper displays enable eval kit customers to develop innovative secure products for tomorrow's imminent applications including authentication (1) Verifying the integrity of a transmitted message. See message integrity, e-mail authentication and MAC. (2) Verifying the identity of a user logging into a network. , transportation, banking, and finance." Unlike LCDs which are made with glass, SiPix Microcup electronic paper displays are extremely thin and flexible. As readable as laser print on paper, SiPix ePaper is crisp, vivid, and visible in sunlight with nearly a 180 degree viewing angle. The company's ePaper also prolongs battery life, drawing power only when switching due to its bistable bistable Adjective (of an electronic system) having two stable states image characteristics. The SiPix Microcup partition walls provide not only fine resolution but also excellent mechanical support for impact resistance. Each Microcup is individually sealed, enabling the Electrophoretic Displays An electrophoretic display is an information display that forms visible images by rearranging charged pigment particles using an applied electric field. In the simplest implementation of an electrophoretic display, titanium dioxide particles approximately one micrometre in (EPD EPD expected progeny difference. ) to be custom cut to desired shapes and sizes. Custom shapes and colors also broaden possibilities and facilitate customizable products. Multiple color sections may be designed on the same display and can be designed with either a solid saturated color (Optics) a color not diluted with white; a pure unmixed color, like those of the spectrum. See also: Saturated or with regions of different color on the same display. SiPix's electronic paper is laminated on a flexible or rigid electrode-patterned backplane An interconnecting device that has sockets for printed circuit boards to plug into. Passive and Active Although resistors may be used, a "passive" backplane adds no processing in the circuit. , individually addressing each segment. This enables the background and individual segment color to be directly driven and separately controlled. Introduced in 1969, Electrophoretic Displays (EPDs) are highly reflective. Under the influence of an applied electric field, charged white particles migrate through a colored dielectric dielectric (dī'ĭlĕk`trĭk), material that does not conduct electricity readily, i.e., an insulator (see insulation). A good dielectric should also have other properties: It must resist breakdown under high voltages; it should not to produce a display that reflects the color at the surface from either the particles or the dielectric.

About SiPix Imaging SiPix Imaging, Inc., a world leader in Flexible Electronic Paper (electrophoretic e·lec·tro·pho·re·sis n. 1. The migration of charged colloidal particles or molecules through a solution under the influence of an applied electric field usually provided by immersed electrodes. Also called cataphoresis. 2. ) Display solutions, was established in 1999 and is located in Silicon Valley, California. With Microcup[R] e-Paper, SiPix generates flexible, impact resistant, and extremely thin displays with ultra-low power consumption from image retention with the power removed for system designers. In Fremont, California For the unincorporated community in Yolo County, California, see . Fremont (IPA: /ˈfriːmɒnt/) is a city in California that was incorporated on January 23, 1956, from the merger of five smaller communities: , the firm creates e-Paper material. In Chung-Li, Taiwan, a production facility provides display module development services and volume manufacturing. The company has filed over 100 original patents.
