Abstract: An electrophoretic display keypad structure utilizes a whole piece of electrophoretic display film to show a plurality of figures for keys. The electrophoretic display film is disposed on a printed circuit board having a patterned electrode and sealed by a sealant or a sealing material applied to entire periphery of the electrophoretic display film for preventing humidity or pollution, thereby to display excellent figures and be made relatively easily. The figures displayed may be changed by selecting a desired mode, and users may accordingly easily choose desired figures for pressing the keys.

Abstract: Described is changing the perceived appearance of a switch by writing content (e.g., an icon) to a switch assembly to change the context of the switch based upon a hardware device's current operating context and/or by changing the perceived color of the switch based upon the hardware device's current operating context. The switch may be layered, for example, with a transparent cover associated with a light guide that can change color via a controlled LED, a writeable surface and an underlying switch (e.g., physical or capacitive sensed) mechanism. Upon detecting interaction with a user interface, the appearance of a switch is based on a current context of the user interface. The system includes means for writing to the writeable surface so that it corresponds to the current context of the program.

Abstract: A display system in which the display panel is comprised of a plurality of particles which have an electrical anisotropy due to hemispherical surface coatings of different Zeta potential and their distribution in a volume of a dielectric liquid, and which also have an optical anisotropy due to the hemispherical surface coatings having different optical characteristics which may be due to the color or other optical properties of the hemispherical coatings. Under the action of an external electric field, the particles will rotate in accordance with their electrical anisotropy to provide a display in accordance with their optical anisotropy. The display has switching threshold and memory capabilities.
