An electrophoretic display device includes a plurality of hexagonal electrophoretic display units adjoined together, in which each of the hexagonal electrophoretic display units is constituted by three rhombic electrophoretic display panels or one hexagonal electrophoretic display panel, and the hexagonal electrophoretic display panel has three rhombic regions; and a control module configured to control gray scale of each of the rhombic electrophoretic display panels or each of the rhombic regions.

A display for an information handling system includes a top bezel, a printed circuit board, and a bottom bezel. The top bezel has a first width. The printed circuit board is in physical communication with the top bezel, and includes a touch circuit. The touch circuit performs one or more operations based on different touch operations. The bottom bezel has a second width, and multiple touch electrodes. Each of the touch electrodes communicates with the touch circuit.

A viewing angle adjusting member and an electronic device including the same are provided. The viewing angle adjusting member includes a first transparent film including a first transparent electrode layer, a second transparent film including a second transparent electrode layer, and a blocking material provided between the first transparent film and the second transparent film and containing nanoparticles configured to block light. The viewing angle adjusting member may be configured to adjust a position of the nanoparticles according to an electrical signal applied to at least one of the first transparent electrode layer and the second transparent electrode layer.

An electrophoretic medium comprises a plurality of charged particles disposed in a fluid. The fluid comprises at least about 75, and preferably at least about 95, percent by weight of a hydrocarbon selected from monounsaturated nonenes, nonane and methyloctane. The electrophoretic medium is especially useful in microcell electrophoretic media comprising a substrate having a plurality of cavities, and a sealing layer closing the open ends of the cavities, the cavities being filled with the electrophoretic medium.

The present invention is directed to driving methods for a color display device which can display high quality color states. The display device utilizes an electrophoretic fluid which comprises three types of pigment particles having different optical characteristics, and provides for displaying at a viewing surface not only the colors of the three types of particles but also the colors of binary mixtures thereof.

A polysiloxane-substituted quinacridone pigment is produced by a quinacridone pigment with an epoxy-terminated polysiloxane under conditions effective to cause the epoxy group on the polysiloxane to react with, and bond the polysiloxane to, the quinacridone pigment. The quinacridone pigment thus produced has the polysiloxane grouping bonded to one of the quinacridone nitrogen atoms via a hydrocarbon linking group, which bears a hydroxyl group on a carbon atom or to the quinacridone nitrogen atom. These quinacridone pigments are useful in electrophoretic displays.
