Abstract

We describe the application of a pen model, and sub-pixel addressing (ClearPen), to render handwriting on an LCD display. This technique is shown to improve the legibility of handwriting. ClearPen can increase the viability of working with handwriting on a computer. This has direct significance to TabletPC applications such as note taking or annotating documents.
