ZBD Displays

Zenithal Bi-Stable Displays ("ZBD") are an ultra-low power display technology. They feature common supply chain of liquid crystal display manufacturing. This patented technology has many benefits and advantages in the market.

ZBD Displays utilize liquid crystal ("LC") fluid and performance dynamics. LC fluid is proven in almost every industry, regulatory system, and global environmental condition as a proven technology. The Zenithal Bi-Stable capability is additional layers that help the display retain a 'low' and 'high' of LC fluid attenuation within the display panel.

The driver ICs for this technology will power-up, perform blanking to clear the state, update the content, and power-down as a cycle. The display retains content with the display fully powered-down, or disconnected entirely from power. LC fluid also has wider temperature range support than some alternative technologies making it more industrial in application and scope.

Applications that benefit from ZBD Displays will be devices with very limited power budgets for displays, value the 'always on' visibility for system status, and have low frequency of display content changes. Devices that require life safety considerations can also benefit displays can retain system status and readings in the event of a system failure, power outage, or other emergency.

Systems focused on power efficiency will almost always benefit from customization and optimization for their display hardware. This effort makes the device the "best" configuration possible for the application. It is a great strength of ZBD Displays that tooling for customizations and optimizations are highly accessible for most customers and applications for this result. Tooling and minimum project requirements are more obtainable for customers than some alternative ultra-low power solutions. These advantages make ZBD Displays a great solution to empower next-generation device designs of all types.
