The present invention is directed to a flexible controlled release film for delivering a medicinal or cosmetic agent, e.g., through the skin of a subject, which delivery system comprises (a) a microembossed flexible film including microcells; (b) a liquid composition filled in the microcells wherein said liquid composition comprises the medicinal or cosmetic agent; and (c) a flexible sealing layer to enclose the liquid composition within the microcells.

Systems and methods are disclosed for pressure-sensitive, electrophoretic displays, which may optionally include haptic feedback. A display may comprise a first conductive layer having a pressure-sensitive conductivity and an electrophoretic layer positioned adjacent to the first conductive layer, wherein the electrophoretic layer is in electrical communication with the first conductive layer and is configured to locally change state based on a pressure applied to the first conductive layer. Local and global writing and erasing of the display can also be achieved.

A vehicular display that ensures no cooped-up feeling is felt by an occupant providing limited visibility arranged on a transparent outer panel of a vehicle is an electronic paper that displays a video on a vehicle exterior. The electronic paper is provided with a plurality of hole portions to have a light transmission region through which a light is transmitted in the electronic paper. In a state where the electronic paper is viewed in a thickness direction, a hole occupancy as a ratio of an area of the plurality of hole portions to a whole area of the light transmission region falls within a range of 40% or more and 80% or less, and a maximum length that connects two points on a peripheral edge of each of the hole portions falls within a range of 0.5 mm or more and 8.0 mm or less.

Some embodiments are directed to a light modulator comprising transparent or reflective substrates, multiple electrodes being applied to the substrates in a pattern across the substrate. A controller may apply an electric potential to the electrodes to obtain an electro-magnetic field between the electrodes providing electrophoretic movement of the particles towards or from an electrode.
