    摘要: Methods and apparatus for an electrophoretic display in which the particle motion is a controlled, non-linear function of the applied electric field. Threshold addressing allows simple, inexpensive passive addressing techniques to be employed. The inverse electrorheological gating techniques allow the construction of a full color, passively addressed display without the need to address individual capsules. A mixture of capsules is coated randomly onto a substrate enabling the creation of inexpensive displays. All the techniques allow a significant threshold to be realized. Rapid movement of the pigment particles above the threshold allows rapid switching times for the display. Since diffusion and gravity are extremely weak forces compared to the yield stresses created, the structured or gelled medium approach provides a great improvement in the bistability of the displays.

    摘要: A coating of an encapsulated electrophoretic medium is formed on a substrate (106) by dispersing in a fluid (104) a plurality of electrophoretic capsules (102), contacting at least a portion of a substrate (106) with the fluid (104); and applying a potential difference between at least a part of the portion of the substrate (106) contacting the fluid (104) and a counter-electrode (110) in electrical contact with the fluid (104), thereby causing capsules (102) to be deposited upon at least part of the portion of the substrate (106) contacting the fluid (102). Patterned coatings of capsules containing different colors may be deposited in registration with electrodes using multiple capsule deposition steps. Alternatively, a patterned coating may be deposited upon a substrate containing a conductive layer by varying the conductivity of the conductive layer by radiation exposure or by coating portions of the conductive layer with an insulating layer, typically a photoresist.
