The application of the cholesteric eWriter display may vary from a simple sketch pad to a dedicated note taking device. Therefore, a greater understanding of this technology is needed to expand product markets and gain a deeper insight into the relevant physical processes which occur during display use. Throughout this thesis two types of displays with very different mechanical and optical properties will be characterized. The section on metrology will focus on how this unique type of display can be measured for certain characteristics such as line thickness, reflection properties, electro-optical properties and phase transition temperatures. The section on characterization and analysis of these displays will focus on how changing specific material properties affect the mechanical and optical properties. It will be shown that different morphologies of the liquid crystal and polymer present in the display will lead to different physical characteristics in the writing experience. The thesis will also outline the current limitations of the metrology and where future work is needed in order to further understand the fundamental technology behind the eWriter display. 2013-07-24 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1374653071 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1374653071 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
