Print media, when rolled tightly often produces a high degree of curl when removed from a roll form. The stiffer the media, the more likely the tendency to curl. On the other hand, print media that is too thin will be too floppy for conventional handling. The print media described is constructed from fine ribs of greater stiffness running along the axis of a roll. These ribs ideally have a pitch of approximately 200 microns and they can be either formed from embedded fibre of greater stiffness or through ridges of greater thickness. The ribs result in material of greater stiffness across the width of the media than along the length and maintain adequate stiffness for handling and viewing of the printed media. |

A system and method are provided for forming body structures including energy filters/shutter components, including energy/light directing/scattering layers that are actively electrically switchable. The filters or components are operable between at least a first mode in which the layers, and thus the presentation of the shutter components, appear substantially transparent when viewed from an energy/light incident side, and a second mode in which the layers, and thus the presentation of the energy filters or shutter components, appear opaque to the incident energy impinging on the energy incident side. The differing modes are selectable by electrically energizing, differentially energizing and/or de-energizing electric fields in a vicinity of the energy scattering layers, including electric fields generated between a pair of transparent electrodes sandwiching an energy scattering layer. Refractive indices of transparent particles, and the transparent matrices in which the particles are fixed, are tunable according to the applied electric fields. |
