Photonic Ink Technology

P-Ink combines the Photonic Crystal structure with electrically active polymer materials. When a voltage is applied to a P-Ink device, the active polymer increases or decreases in size, and this dimensional change will shift the color of light that are reflected from the material.

What it offers

• Full color reflection from single material for low materials and production cost and streamlined device construction
• High reflectivity, outstanding visibility in sunlight
• Low power consumption (Low voltage and current during switching; Negligible power draw to maintain static image)
• Heat management through controllable IR reflectivity
• Applicable on rigid or flexible substrates
• Lightweight, rugged, durable, and damage tolerant
• Highly scalable production process

Potential Market Applications

• Color Tunable Surfaces eg. Watches, mobile electronics, office partitions, vehicles,
• Small Displays eg. (Electronic tags) to Large (Roadside digital signage), Potential for full-color e-paper
• State-of-charge indicators
• Tunable heat reflection
• Active camouflage
