The present invention relates to a kind of display component and display, especially a kind of electrophoretic display device (EPD) and this aobvious for producing Show the method and component of device.
Background technique
Electrophoretic display device (EPD) refers to that a kind of effect using electric field moves multiple charged particles therein in suspension It moves to change the display of the optical states of its viewing surface.Compared with liquid crystal display, this display has satisfactory Brightness, high contrast, wide viewing angle, bistable state and low-power consumption characteristic and have been favored by people, by lasting for many years Research work has been achieved for significant progress.The meaning that there is above-mentioned " bistable state " it to be known in the art, refers to packet Display containing display original set has the display state of at least one optical characteristics.
However, pass through years of researches to electrophoretic display device (EPD) and application, it has been found that electrophoretic display device (EPD) is in picture quality The shortcomings that related aspect, and these disadvantages have seriously hampered their extensive use.For example, the reunion of particle is asked Topic, dispersed homogeneous degree problem of stable problem and particle of the particle in suspension in suspension.
It is described in the patent or patent application that many has been announced or announced using a large amount of encapsulation The method of suspension and particle compensates for above-mentioned some technological deficiencies of electrophoretic display device (EPD) to a certain extent.For example, Chinese Patent CN1477608A provides a kind of micro-capsule composition for electrophoretic display device, improves the long-term steady of electrophoretic display apparatus It is qualitative, display responsiveness, contrast, display rewritable number.The composition of the invention is containing interior packet electrophoresis in the housing Property fine particles dispersion liquid in a solvent and the microcapsules of electrophoretic display apparatus that constitute and water solvent, for applying The composition of the modulation of cloth liquid, above-mentioned composition are obtained without the process of dry microcapsules, micro- glue in above-mentioned composition The content ratio of capsule is 30~80 weight %.
In addition, OED also achieves many achievements in terms of microcapsules, and had disclosed before research achievement is disclosed in Among the patent application either announced or patent document.For example, disclosing a kind of micro- glue in Chinese patent CN102809863A The preparation method of capsule array electrophoresis display component comprising following steps: it a) is made on the transparent substrates with transparency conducting layer Standby barricade array, the barricade array and substrate constitute several small cavitys;B) it is injected in the target cavity of barricade array Corresponding electrophoretic display microcapsule.In addition, a kind of electrophoretic display coating fluid is also provided in Chinese patent CN102093785A, Include microcapsules, includes suspension in microcapsules and multiple charged pigment particles for being scattered in suspension, microcapsules point It is dispersed in adhesive.The adhesive is dissolved in water obtained, wherein water soluble polymer chemical combination by water-soluble high-molecular compound The concentration of object is 5%-20%.The weight percent of adhesive and microcapsules is 10%-70%.It is therein micro- when adhesive is dry Capsule at least one deformation occurs.Wherein, used adhesive effectively reduces the reunion between microcapsules, when dry It can produce certain shrinkage stress, so that the dispersibility of microcapsules is more preferable, to effectively increase electrophoretic display coating fluid Photoelectric properties.In another example providing another electrophoretic display coating fluid in Chinese patent 102585676A, it includes have micro- glue Capsule, these microcapsules are dispersed in adhesive, include suspension in microcapsules and multiple band electrochondrias for being scattered in suspension Son, charged particle meeting electrophoresis in suspension under the action of electric field;It also include aqueous blue in above-mentioned electrophoretic display coating fluid The weight percent of color dyestuff, the aqueous blue dyes and electrophoretic display coating fluid is 0.01%-5%.The electrophoresis showed of the invention The B value of the made display screen come out of coating fluid significantly improves, while mentions the black white contrast of electrophoresis showed also Height, to effectively improve the photoelectric properties of electrophoretic display coating fluid.
