The future of polymer displays

A possible limitation of ECDs and EWs is the relatively slow response time, which is typically in the range of a few seconds. This makes ECDs uncompetitive with LCDs for fast devices, such as electronic watches. However, if the applications are directed to realisation of large panels for optical information or for energy control, the time of response becomes
