a reimagable medium and a method for “ writing ” to a reimagable medium are disclosed . the reimagable medium includes a liquid crystal layer , one or more photochromic layers and an electric field generating apparatus . the electric field generating apparatus supplies voltage levels across the liquid crystal layer causing the liquid crystal layer to transfer between a white and a transparent state . the photochromic layers transfer to a colored state when illuminated by ultraviolet light and to a transparent state when illuminated by visible light . each of the layers maintains their present states when voltage or illumination below corresponding thresholds is supplied . the reimagable medium is flexible and may maintain an image “ written ” to it until the paper is rewritten . the paper may be attached to a colored substrate if an additional color is to be displayed .
