Dr Cliff Jones, chief technology officer and co-founder of ZBD Displays, received the Alfred Woodhead Best Paper Award from the UK & Ireland Chapter of the Society for Information Display (SID) at its technical meeting held on 17 April 2008. Topic of the meeting, one of a regular series of peer-group forums run by SID, was ‘Display Drivers and Interfacing Techniques’. The award winner is decided by the audience at the event.

The addressing schemes, patented by ZBD which also owns the other intellectual property rights of zenithal bistable displays, are designed to deliver excellent performance characteristics using low cost, commercially available drivers.
