Description
The present invention relates to a display device, and more particularly, to an electrophoretic display device and a method of manufacturing the same that can improve display quality and manufacturing efficiency.
The electrophoretic display device refers to a device for displaying an image by using electrophoresis phenomenon in which colored charged particles move by an electric field applied from the outside. Here, the electrophoretic phenomenon refers to a phenomenon in which the charged particles move in the liquid by the Coulomb force when an electric field is applied to the electrophoretic dispersion (e-ink) in which the charged particles are dispersed in the liquid.
When a substance with a charge is placed in an electric field, the substance moves in a specific manner depending on the charge, the size and shape of the molecule, and the like. Electrophoresis is a phenomenon in which substances are separated by the difference in the degree of movement.
The electrophoretic display using the electrophoretic phenomenon has a feature of bistable, and even if the applied voltage is removed, the original image can be displayed for a long time. In other words, the electrophoretic display is a display device suitable for the field of e-books in which a constant screen can be maintained for a long time without applying a voltage continuously, and thus a quick replacement of the screen is not required.
In addition, unlike a liquid crystal display, the electrophoretic display device does not have a dependency on a viewing angle, and may provide a comfortable image to the eye to a degree similar to paper. In addition, demand has increased due to the advantages of flexibility, low power consumption, and eco-like flexibility.

For example, when a plurality of pixels are configured with three colors of red, green, and blue, the pixels correspond to the colors of red, green, and blue. Filling of the electrophoretic dispersion per pixel may be performed sequentially.

Can be. In addition, a highly volatile material may be used as the first solvent 140 in a subsequent process to facilitate the volatilization time and complete volatilization of the first solvent 140.
In the above description, the charged
As such, the charged
Subsequently, referring to FIG. 10, after charged particles are filled in each of the red pixels, the green pixels, and the blue pixels, a drying process is performed to volatilize the first solvent 140. At this time, only part of the first solvent 140 may be volatilized, or may be completely volatilized.
At this time, the drying process is performed for 1 minute to 24 hours so that the first solvent 140 filled in the entire pixel region is volatilized.
As an example, when the volume of the pixel region (fill cell) is 1.35 × 10 −4 cc, the drying process of the first solvent 140 may be performed within 20 minutes. In addition, in order to increase the efficiency of the drying process, a temperature of 150 ° C. or less may be added to increase the volatilization rate of the first solvent 140 and completely volatilize the first solvent 140 in the entire pixel region.
However, this is an example of a drying process. When the volatility of the first solvent 140 is high and the volume of the pixel region is small, the drying process may be further shortened.
On the other hand, when the volatility of the first solvent 140 is low and the volume of the pixel region is large, the drying process may be further extended. Therefore, the drying time proceeds for a proper time for the first solvent 140 to be completely volatilized in consideration of the volatilization characteristics of the first solvent 140 and the volume of the pixel region.
Subsequently, referring to FIG. 11, after the first solvent 140 is completely volatilized, the second solvent 160 is formed by using the injection equipment 250 while the charged
In this case, the second solvent 160 may be simultaneously filled in all the pixels, and as shown in FIG. 11, the second solvent 160 may be sequentially filled for each pixel using the
As such, in the process of filling the second solvent 160, the second solvent 160 may overflow the upper portion of the
Here, the second solvent 160 may have a viscosity of 1 cP to 100 cP.
As such, the second solvent 160 having the viscosity of 1 cP to 100 cP is filled in the pixel region in which the charged
In this case, the second solvent 160 is halogenated solvents, saturated hydrocarbons, silicone oils, low molecular weight halogen-containing polymers, epoxides (epoxides), vinyl ethers, vinyl esters, aromatic hydrocarbons, toluene, toluene, naphthalene, liquid paraffinic liquids, polychlorotrifluoroethylene polymers ( poly chlorotrifluoroethylene polymers) materials may be used.
As illustrated in FIG. 11, the second solvent 160 is not only a dispense method using the
