Co-developed with Silitech, one of the worldÂ's largest keypad manufacturers, the KDMinvolves overlaying SiPixÂ's e-paper technology over a silicone keypad. The e-papercan be cut to shape for compatibility with multiple designs, and traditionalbacklight allows night time viewing.
SiPixÂ's KDM technology is available in various colors that can match the casing ofmobile devices. The patented Microcup technology can hold dyes of various colors,creating a sleek and completely integrated look. With a 180 degree viewing angleand high contrast ratio, the KDM is a glimpse of future input devices, includingphysically interactive touch screens, and flex sensors for e-paper applications.
 Now we can offer consumers the best of both worlds, a dynamic keyboard that canvary based on the application that preserves the haptic information provided bytraditional keypads, said Jialock Wong, director of the Mobile Division BusinessUnit for SiPix.  This technology eliminates the ambiguity common with todayÂ's touchscreens, while also creating new opportunities to integrate this technology into newapplications.Â
 Our Microcup design is inherently impact resistant, razor-thin, flexible, andversatile for tomorrowÂ's applications, said Andrew Ho, president of SiPix.  Wedeveloped our Microcup to provide the uniform structure needed to incorporate thehighest quality displays into products where constant use or high pressure havetraditionally been gating factors.Â
Unlike LCDs which are made with glass, SiPix Microcup electronic paper displays areextremely thin and flexible. As readable as laser print on paper, SiPix ePaper iscrisp, vivid, and visible in sunlight with nearly a 180 degree viewing angle. ThecompanyÂ's ePaper also prolongs battery life, drawing power only when switching dueto its bistable image characteristics. The SiPix Microcup partition walls provide not only fine resolution but alsoexcellent mechanical support for impact resistance. Each Microcup is individuallysealed, enabling the Electrophoretic Displays (EPD) to be custom cut to desiredshapes and sizes.
