Abstract— A novel structure for electronic‐paper displays using hollow fibers has been developed, where the hollow fiber is comprised of an outer transparent polymer tube and inner display elements (rotating balls, electrophoretic dispersion fluid, or cholesteric liquid crystals). The structure composed of thin polymer fibers is capable of realizing paper‐like visibility and flexibility, which are vital properties required for electronic‐paper displays. Hollow fibers containing display elements were produced through an industrial manufacturing process using a conventional melt spinning method for the first time and showed electro‐optical switching when the voltage was applied. The hollow fibers were then woven into fabric sheets. The structure and the production process for electronic paper in this study will be a candidate for a simple method to produce large‐area electronic‐paper displays.
