To create Vizplex, E Ink produces microencapsulated electronic ink and has it coated onto an ITO-coated plastic substrate in a fast, efficient roll-to-roll process. The resulting ink film is combined with a thin adhesive and a plastic release sheet to form the Vizplex imaging film. The film is then converted into individual sheets and packaged for shipment to the TFT display manufacturer.
