A kind of color electrophoresis Electronic Paper shows film and its manufacture method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of electrophoretic electronic paper, more particularly to a kind of color electrophoresis Electronic Paper display film and its manufacturer
Method.
Background technology
At present, electrophoretic electronic paper has commercially had existing product, and its main principle is to utilize colloid chemistry
In electrophoresis, add the electrodeposition paint pigments particle with charged particle in the inside of Transparent microcapsule, and microcapsules are encapsulated
Into display material, display screen can be by TFT controls.The principle of electrophoretic electronic paper display frequency is by the pigment grain with different electric charges
Attached bag is wrapped up in into microcapsules, and when the upper electric field of the pixel compartments loading between upper bottom crown, powered pigment particles will be in electric field
Effect is lower to there is electrophoretic migration, repels each other according to the same sex, and the theory that there is a natural attraction between the sexes, two different colors of pigment particles will occur
Separate, the movement of pigment particles can be controlled by the time of on-load voltage again, so as to show the different GTGs that image needs,
To reach display effect.Manufacture color electrophoresis Electronic Paper is often using the method for optical filter at this stage.The method is by controlling ash
The mode of rank, lays corresponding red above each sub-pix point(R it is) green(G)It is blue(B optical filter).When the ash of sub-pix point
After rank change, three light of sub-pix point reflection are through being combined into the color to be shown after optical filter.Such method, greatly
The thickness for limiting effect, brightness and display panel that Electronic Paper shows.For display skill reflective as Electronic Paper
Art, often increases by one layer on pixel, will all weaken display effect.And optical filter then can directly reduce by 50% light intensity.Therefore
The color that the method shows is very dim, poor user experience.

In the present invention, it is straight on the tft substrate by way of microchannel and pulsometer transmission and heat cure glue
Connect manufacture color electrophoresis Electronic Paper microcapsules display film.RGB three primary colors electrophoresis microcapsules are mixed to heat-setting first
In glue, then using the fluid control mode of micro-fluidic chip, different electrophoresis microcapsules is transported to corresponding sub-pix
TFT electrodes top.Using disposable injection, then heat cure glue, finally directly obtains the electrophoretic display thin film for showing
Product.
