Title
(EN) Inductive switching of cholesteric liquid crystal display device
front page image
Abstract
(EN)

A system including a cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLC) display device and an erasing device. The display device (e.g., a writing tablet, liquid crystal paper) is inductively coupled to the erasing device for inductively erasing an image on the display device. Also featured is a ChLC display device that can be inductively erased.
