Description

A kind of electrophoretic display apparatus and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the display device technology field, particularly a kind of electrophoretic display apparatus and manufacture method thereof.
Background technology
Electrophoretic display apparatus is the class master mode display display technique of development early, mainly be with the charged particle in the extra electric field driving aaerosol solution, utilize the change of particle location, show the optical states contrast of particle and solution, backboard or particle and particle, make image and show.And when electric field is removed, this display device will keep shown picture, thereby realize that stable state shows.
Electronic Paper is usually based on electrophoretic display apparatus, because it is very approaching with common paper, promptly have the performance such as high-comfort of height contrast, wide viewing angle degree, low energy consumption and reading, has been applied to a lot of fields gradually.
Electrophoretic display apparatus can show the pattern of black and white, and also has a plurality of middle gray between B﹠W, for example somber, dull gray, ash etc., thus show a complete picture by each pixel on the control display screen to corresponding gray scale.
Present electrophoretic display apparatus substantially all is a black and white, and color electric phoretic display device is a development in future trend.Color electric phoretic display device can reach colored purpose by increasing colored filter.Increasing a kind of method of colored filter, is exactly directly to increase one deck colored filter on the black and white electrophoretic display panel that existing market is promoted.Such method has some bad places, one is that present black and white electrophoretic display panel is that the electrophoresis showed layer is prepared on the PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) that has ITO (Indium Tin Oxides), and pet layer is easy to be subjected to extraneous damage or chemical corrosion; Be easy to aging distortion, have influence on the serviceable life of electrophoretic display apparatus so greatly, and when setting up colored filter thereon, midfeather a PET who has ITO, so just reduced transmittance, display effect is had considerable influence.In addition, a more serious problem, the PET that has ITO that is exactly colored filter and electrophoresis showed interlayer can cause problem of parallax experienced, this problem of parallax experienced causes adverse influence for the picture quality of display device, particularly when the vertical direction of observing the surface with respect to display device is observed display device with wide-angle especially like this.
Colored filter in the market all is to adopt glass substrate basically, and the base plate of electrophoretic display apparatus generally is to adopt TFT (Thin Film Transistor) substrate, the TFT substrate also is the glass substrate structure, the colored filter of glass substrate is fitted in the TFT of another glass substrate, adopts and make the used method of electrophoretic display apparatus usually and can not finish.This is because currently used method is to be coated with the pressure-sensitive alite paste of last layer on the electrophoresis showed layer, after the alite paste drying, adopt the method for lamination again, colored filter and control electrode panel are fit together, because the alite paste surface of contact after the surface of contact of control electrode panel and the curing all is a solid, alite paste surface of contact after the curing is also can not produce minute surface to come out, space or bubble will appear behind the lamination of these two, finally can be embodied in has influenced the effect that powers up that the electrophoresis showed of space or bubble layer is arranged, and the various spots that occur occur not wanting, defectives such as striped.
In addition, this display device can not be used the method for making of similar liquid crystal device.Make the method for LCD, be that colored filter and control electrode panel are made a glass case with adhesive material, and on this box, stay next aperture that liquid crystal material pours into into by aperture.And when the electrophoresis showed layer of electrophoretic display apparatus was solid, the method for making of this similar LCD just had been not suitable for.
