Definitions
- the present invention relates to electronic paper and a method for manufacturing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a display device (electronic paper) capable of repeatedly displaying and erasing an image by moving particles using static electricity, for example, and a method for manufacturing the same.
- a display device electronic paper
- static electricity for example
- FIG. 1 shows a configuration of an electronic paper 1000 as a reference example of the particle movement method.
- the electronic paper 1000 shown in FIG. 1 includes an opposing substrate (110, 120) at least one of which is transparent, and a grid-like partition wall 130 that keeps a distance between the substrates (110, 120).
- a cell structure is formed by both the substrates (110, 120) and the partition wall 130, and particles (140A, 140B) of different colors are enclosed in the space of the cell structure.
- the distance between the substrate 110 and the substrate 120 is selected such that the particles can move and the contrast can be maintained.
- the inventor of the present application has examined the electronic paper 2000 as shown in FIG. 2 and found that there are the following problems when the electronic paper 2000 is actually manufactured.
- the electronic paper 2000 includes a lower substrate 210, an upper substrate 220, and a grid-like partition layer 230 interposed between both substrates (210, 220).
- the lower substrate 210 includes a lower electrode 214 formed on the surface of the lower sheet member 212 and an insulating layer 216 formed on the surface of the lower sheet member 212 so as to cover the lower electrode 214.
- the transparent upper substrate 220 constituting the display surface is formed on the upper sheet member 222 so as to cover the upper electrode 224 formed on the surface of the transparent upper sheet member 222 and the transparent upper electrode 224.
- an insulating layer 226 is formed.
- the lattice-shaped partition wall layer 230 includes a plurality of partition walls 232, and a cell space 250 is formed between adjacent partition walls 232, and powder particles 240 (240A or 240B) are enclosed in the cell space 250. Has been.
- the partition walls 232 of the lattice-shaped partition layer 230 have a role of maintaining a gap between the lower substrate 210 and the upper substrate 220.
- the partition wall 232 is formed to extend vertically on the insulating layer 216 of the lower electrode 214.
- An adhesive layer 234 is formed on the upper surface of the partition wall 232, and the partition wall 232 is connected to the upper substrate 220 through the adhesive layer 234.
- FIG. 3A a substrate structure in which the lower electrode 214 is formed on the surface of the lower sheet member 212 is prepared.
- an insulating layer 216 is formed on the surface of the sheet member 212 so as to cover the lower electrode 214, and then on the insulating layer 216 as shown in FIG. A grid-like partition wall 232 is formed.
- the powder particles 240 (240 ⁇ / b> A and 240 ⁇ / b> B) are filled between the partition walls 232, and then an adhesive layer 234 is formed on the upper surface of the partition walls 232.
- a transparent substrate structure (upper substrate) composed of a transparent upper sheet member 222, a transparent upper electrode 224, and a transparent insulating layer 226 is bonded to the adhesive layer on the partition 232.
- electronic paper 2000 is obtained.
- the insulating layer 216 when the insulating layer 216 is formed by applying an insulating material to the surface of the lower sheet member 212 on which the lower electrode 214 is formed, the insulating layer 216 depends on the thickness of the lower electrode 214. Thickness unevenness (coating unevenness) occurs. If the partition 232 is formed on the surface of the insulating layer 216 in a state where there is such thickness unevenness, it is difficult to maintain the accuracy of the partition 232 as shown in FIG. Specifically, even though the central partition wall 232a shown in FIG. 5 is allowed, the partition walls 232b and 232c extend obliquely and become the partition wall 232 with poor accuracy.
- the aperture ratio is represented by the ratio of the area occupied by the powder particle filling portion and the partition 232, and the smaller the area occupied by the partition 232, the higher the aperture ratio. Therefore, in order to ensure a high aperture ratio, the size of the lattice-like partition wall 232 tends to be reduced. As a result, since the lattice-like partition wall 232 is thin and has a high wall, the difficulty of forming the partition wall layer without defect on the insulating layer 216 having unevenness caused by the lower electrode 214 (for example, by bonding) increases. It was.
- the adhesive layer 234 cannot be formed successfully. Specifically, even if the adhesive layer forming roller 270 is moved (arrow 275) to try to form the adhesive layer 234 on the upper surface of the partition wall 232, the adhesive layer forming roller 270 is appropriately bonded to the accurate partition wall (straight partition wall) 232a. Although the layer 234a can be formed, non-uniform adhesive layers 234b and 234c are formed on the upper surfaces of the partition walls 232b and 232c extending obliquely.
- the cost will be higher than usual. That is, when it is desired to reduce the thickness of the lower electrode 214, film formation by sputtering or the like is necessary. However, this is more expensive than the case where the lower electrode 214 is formed of copper foil or the like. This high cost leads to an increase in the cost of electronic paper.
- the inventor of the present application tried to solve these problems by dealing with the above-mentioned problem of the partition formation of the electronic paper 2000 in a new direction, instead of dealing with the extension of the conventional technology.

- the strength is higher than that of the partition wall 55, so that when the electronic paper 100 is bent, the gap is near the gap 42. There is a possibility that the partition wall 55 may be broken (broken).
- the gap 42 is filled with a material softer than the material constituting the partition wall 55, such a problem can be avoided.

- the heat-sensitive foamed particles 44 are particles that expand when heated.
- thermally expandable microcapsules can be used as the heat-sensitive foamed particles 44.
- Thermally expandable microcapsules are capsules in which liquid low-boiling hydrocarbons are wrapped in thermoplastic polymer shells. When heated, the polymer shells soften and the liquid hydrocarbons change into gas. That pressure causes the capsule to expand.

- the heat-sensitive foamed particles 44 are foamed, and the gaps 42 between the powder sheet structures 50 can be filled without any gaps.
- the powder sheet structures 50 are connected to each other, and the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 are also connected. Moreover, since it contains bubbles, it is possible to ensure flexibility at the bonded portion. Further, since the powder sheet structure 50 is bonded to the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 and then heated and foamed, it is easy for the adhesive 43 to protrude and to wrap around the electrode surfaces of the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20.
