Abstract:
A color display device comprising:a two dimensional array of color pixels comprising at least one row and at least one column of color pixels, wherein each pixel is comprised of a stack of a plurality of colored flexible membranes juxtapositioned and anchored between adjacent colored fiber electrodes, and wherein said plurality of membranes are comprised of insulated conducting films, said plurality of membranes of any stack are attracted to or repelled from each other and said adjacent colored fiber electrodes in accordance with voltages supplied to said plurality of membranes and said adjacent fiber electrodes, the surfaces of said adjacent fiber electrodes and/or surfaces of said plurality of membranes having common voltage polarity are separated, and when the membranes on either side of said separation are charged with alternating voltage polarities they are attracted to each other and to the nearest said adjacent fiber electrodes such that said separated surfaces are visible to an observer and produce one color pixel.
