UltraSRD - Designing a proof of concept ultra-low power, solid-state reflective colour display using novel phase change materials

多年来，在反射式(非背光)显示器中成功实现彩色和视频功能的技术挑战一直困扰着显示行业。反射式电子阅读器显示器刷新速度慢，仅有黑白两种，而背光LCD和发光OLED屏幕消耗高功率：这限制了这些技术可以应用到的信息显示应用。开发一种可行的低功耗、多色显示技术，可能会为包括可穿戴设备和物联网在内的新型反射式信息显示打开许多新的机会之路。UltraSRD解决了这一在颜色、速度和能源消耗方面的不令人满意的妥协：基于牛津大学完成的研究，并在行业支持下，Bodle Technologies打算研究在2020年前使用新型相变材料开发出商业上可行的、高分辨率、双稳、快速刷新的彩色反射式显示器的可行性。

The technological challenge of successfully implementing colour & video capability within a reflective (non-backlit) display has been challenging the display industry for years. Reflective E-reader displays are slow to refresh and only available in black and white, whilst backlit LCD and emissive OLED screens consume high rates of power: this limits the information display applications that these technologies can be applied to. Development of a feasible low power, multi-colour display technology could see many new avenues of opportunity open for new reflective information displays including in wearable devices and the internet of things. UltraSRD addresses this unsatisfactory compromise on colour, speed and energy consumption: based on research completed at the University of Oxford and with industry support, Bodle Technologies intends to investigate the feasibility of developing a commercially viable, high resolution, bistable, rapid refresh, colour reflective display by 2020 using novel phase change materials.
