Claim:
An electro-optic display comprising: a bistable electro-optic material having on one side thereof a viewable surface visible to an observer viewing the display, and on the opposed side thereof a writing surface; a deformable member contacting the writing surface of the electro-optic material, the deformable member having a plurality of electrodes formed on its surface contacting the writing surface of the electro-optic material; and a movable member disposed on the opposed side of the deformable member from the electro-optic material and movable relative to the electro-optic material, the movable member urging the deformable member into contact with the electro-optic material such that movement of the movable member relative to the electro-optic material will cause the area of contact between the deformable member and the electro-optic material to move across the writing surface of the electro-optic material.
