Embodiment
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing embodiments of the present invention are described.
(electrophoretic display panel/electrophoretic display apparatus)
Fig. 1 is the longitudinal diagram of the embodiment of expression electrophoretic display apparatus of the present invention.
In this embodiment, constitute electrophoretic display panels as the common electrode substrate 10 of substrate and the electrophoretic layer 30 that on this substrate, forms, but also can on pixel electrode substrate 20, form electrophoretic layer 30, with them as electrophoretic display panel.At this moment, 20 replacements also can obtain identical result with pixel electrode substrate with common electrode substrate 10.
For example, when water during as the benchmark liquid of the compatibility of weighing each material or each substrate, microcapsule 35, bonding agent 36, common electrode substrate 10, relatively water has compatibility respectively, and increases selected each material of mode or the substrate of degree of the compatibility of relative water according to the order of microcapsule 35, bonding agent 36, common electrode substrate 10.Or with the mutual compatibility of establishing bonding agent 36 and common electrode substrate 10, and the mutual compatibility of bonding agent 36 and microcapsule 35 greater than the mode selected material/substrate of the mutual compatibility of microcapsule 35 and common electrode substrate 10.
At this, so-called compatibility is big, means that the difference of contact angle of relative datum liquid is little.For example, when the compatibility of substrate and microcapsule 35 (strictly saying it is that the inscape of microcapsule 35 is a wall material 33) is big, mean contact angle (A) between water and the substrate, and water and wall material 33 between contact angle (B) between poor (A-B) little.In addition, when the compatibility of microcapsule 35 and bonding agent 36 is big, mean contact angle between water and the wall material 33, and water and bonding agent 36 between the difference of contact angle little.
Pixel electrode circuit layer 22, preferred: this pixel or part wiring are the ELD of ITO etc., driving element is the active component of TFT (thin film transistor (TFT)) etc.
The employed substrate 11 of above-mentioned electrode base board and 21, the plastic material that for example glass or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) etc. is tabular is as raw material.In addition, its thickness (on average) waits suitable the setting by constituent material, purposes respectively, is not particularly limited.For example, have under the situation of flexual substrate in conduct, thickness is preferably about 20～500 μ m, more preferably about 25～250 μ m.Can seek the flexibility of electrophoretic display apparatus 1 and the mediation between the intensity thus, and seek the miniaturization (particularly slimming) of electrophoretic display apparatus 1.
Because common electrode substrate 10 is guaranteed and the compatibility of bonding agent 36 described later or microcapsule 35 (wall material 33) relatively, therefore preferably carries out the lyophily of plasma irradiating, ozone irradiation etc. and handles.In addition, originally just have under the situation of desirable compatibility, do not need expressly to carry out lyophily and handle at substrate.
This microcapsule 35 is surrounded electrophoresis dispersions 34 and is constituted by wall material 33.As the constituent material of wall material 33, for example can use material with water miscible characteristic.For example, can enumerate: various resin materials such as the compound substance of gum arabic and gelatin, urethane series plastics, melamine series plastics, can use in these materials one or more combination.
These microcapsules 35, its size is preferably roughly even.Thus, electrophoretic display apparatus 1 can be brought into play demonstration is homogenized and good display performance.
If electrophoresis particle 31 is, have charging property,, and can in liquid phase dispersion medium 32, carry out the particle of electrophoresis by electric field action, then be not particularly limited, but resin particle of pigment particles such as titanium dioxide, propylene series plastics etc. or at least a quilt in these composite particles suitably use.
The mean grain size of electrophoresis particle 31 (volume averaging particle diameter) is preferably about 0.1～10 μ m, more preferably about 0.1～7.5 μ m.If the mean grain size of electrophoresis particle 31 is too small, then mainly in the visible light zone, can not obtain sufficient hidden rate, its result, the demonstration contrast of electrophoretic display apparatus 1 descends.On the other hand, if the mean grain size of electrophoresis particle 31 is excessive, then according to its kind etc., deposition easily in liquid phase dispersion medium 32 has the deterioration etc. of the display quality of electrophoretic display apparatus 1.
As liquid phase dispersion medium 32, suitable use dodecylbenzene (De デ シ Le ベ Application ゼ Application) etc., dispersion medium with higher insulativity.
In addition, also can in liquid phase dispersion medium 32 (electrophoresis dispersion 34), add for example dispersion/charge control agent such as titanium series coupling agent, aluminium series coupling agent as required.
Further, also can in liquid phase dispersion medium 32, dissolve the various dyestuffs of anthraquinone series dyestuff, azo series dyestuff etc. as required.
Preferably in bonding agent 36, be used in combination the resin material that compatibility is good and insulativity is good with common electrode substrate 10 and bladder walls material 33 (microcapsule 35), for example one or more in the water-soluble high-molecular material such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), positively ionized cellulose.
In the present embodiment, show the embodiment of film forming electrophoretic layer 30 on common electrode substrate 10, but also can on pixel electrode substrate 20, carry out film forming, on pixel electrode substrate 20, implement lyophily in this case and handle.
In the above-described configuration, if apply voltage between pixel electrode circuit layer 22 (pixel electrode) and common electrode 12, then produce electric field between it, electrophoresis particle 31 is mobile microcapsule 35 in by this electric field, and display image.
In the forming process of above-mentioned electrophoretic layer 30, as described later, utilize mutual compatibility between microcapsule 35, bonding agent 36, common electrode substrate 10, these threes.Thus, the surface tension by bonding agent 36 makes each microcapsule 35 to the distortion of common electrode substrate 10 sides, carries out gapless film forming each other at microcapsule 35, and by bonding agent 36 this microcapsule layer is fixed on the common electrode substrate 10.Its result, need not to push as in the past between the substrate and make microcapsule 35 distortion, also need not to worry peeling off or showing unequal quality badness of common electrode substrate 10 that the residual stress (or restoring force) by microcapsule 35 causes, can further obtain the electrophoretic display apparatus 1 of high image quality with simple manufacturing process.
Fig. 4 is shown schematically in the example (overlooking) of the state of the microcapsule 35 of observing the electrophoretic layer 30 the embodiment from the top.Microcapsule 35 is formed stone wall shape or tile each other, judges few in the microcapsule gap between them.
Fig. 8 shows comparative example.In the figure to the symbol same, the explanation of omitting relative section with the corresponding part additional phase of Fig. 1.
In comparative example, constitute, on a substrate of two substrates 10 and 20, only apply electrophoretic layer, and by two substrate clampings.Therefore in the gap of generation each other of microcapsule 35.If compare with the electrophoretic display apparatus of this comparative example, then in the formation of present embodiment, because the microcapsule 35 that forms electrophoretic layer film forming under the state of seamlessly being filled mutually each other, therefore can not having demonstration shows high-precision image unevenly.
In addition, in comparative example, seamlessly arrange microcapsule if as present embodiment, make the change of shape of microcapsule, then need to push the substrate that clamping comprises the electrophoretic layer 30 of microcapsule and make the microcapsule distortion each other from the outside, but need not to carry out above-mentioned step in the present embodiment, therefore need not to worry peeling off or distortion etc. of substrate that the residual stress by the microcapsule that produces causes when pushing, can stably obtain high meticulous image and show.
