Abstract
Electrophoretic displays (EPD) are attracting considerable attentions as a paper-like reflective display. In this paper, we describe a new simulation model for EPD. In the calculation of the kinetics of the pigment particles, we compute the electrohydrodynamics which causes complex flow field due to the electroosmosis. The obtained particle trajectory is analyzed to generate the time variation of the reflectance by using the Kubelka-Munk theory. The simulation results for the cluster formation of the particles on the electrodes and for the overshooting of the reflectance under a constant voltage are shown.
