摘要:
The present invention generally is directed to electrode designs suitable for roll-to-roll format flexible manufacturing of an EPD. It is also directed to an EPD having a segment design in a repeated pattern across an entire roll of the display. The EPD preferably is microcup-based. The EPD manufactured according to the present invention has the appearance of a roll of wall paper and it can be cut into any desired sizes or formats. The EPD has electrode or trace lines which may be exposed by asymmetrical cutting and stripping without the need of precision registration.

The present invention is directed to an electro-magnetophoresis display having either the traditional up/down or dual switching mode. The display cells are filled with an electro-magnetophoretic dispersion comprising particles suspended in a solvent and the particles are both charged and magnetized. The display of the invention prevents undesired movement of the particles in the cells. The magnetic force generated by the magnetic layer(s) eliminates the need to provide cells with a threshold voltage high enough to avoid the cross talk and/or cross bias effects. In addition, the dual switching mode allows the particles to move in the up/down direction as well as the planar direction, thus providing a multicolor display of high color quality at very low cost.

The present invention relates to an improved EPD which comprises both the traditional up/down switching and the in-plane switching modes. In other words, the improved EPD has dual switching modes.The monochrome EPDs of the present invention are capable of displaying highlight color of choice which is different from the text. For example, white background, blue text, and red highlight can be shown in any selected areas of the display. Furthermore, the full color EPDs of the present invention are capable of displaying high contrast images of high color saturation. Both high quality black and white states are possible in the full color displays of the present invention. The EPDs of the present invention do not need complex circuitry design, and are compatible with low cost and high yield roll-to-roll manufacturing processes.

The present invention is directed to a display device which comprises two layers of insulating substrate, at least the substrate on the viewing side is transparent, an array of display cells sandwiched between the two layers of substrate, a writing means, and optionally an erasing means to magnetically or electrically erase the image. The display cells are filled with a dispersion of magnetic particles which may be charged or non-charged. The display of the invention eliminates the use of the transparent conductor film, such as ITO, on the viewing side. Therefore, the displays of this invention are more cost effective, more flexible and durable and capable of higher image contrast ratio and higher reflectance in the Dmin area.

The present invention is directed to a display device which includes an array of sealed microcups containing particles of a designated electric and magnetic characteristic suspended in a solvent wherein a surface of a plurality of the sealed microcups constituting a transparent surface. The display device further includes an electromagnetic image writing/drawing pen for manually applying an electromagnetic field on the particles of the designated electric and magnetic characteristic in the microcups to form an image viewable from the transparent surface. More particularly, the particles of the designated electric and magnetic characteristic are charged particles and the writing and drawing pen is an electrical writing/drawing pen.

Structures and manufacturing processes of an ACF array using a non-random array of microcavities of predetermined configuration, shape and dimension. The manufacturing process includes fluidic filling of conductive particles onto a substrate or carrier web comprising a predetermined array of microcavities, or selective metallization of the array followed by filling the array with a filler material and a second selective metallization on the filled microcavity array. The thus prepared filled conductive microcavity array is then over-coated or laminated with an adhesive film. Cavities in the array, and particles filling the cavities, can have a unimodal, bimodal, or multimodal distribution.
