摘要： An electro-optic display comprising at least two separate layers of electro-optic material, with one of these layers being capable of displaying at least one optical state which cannot be displayed by the other layer. The display is driven by a single set of electrodes between which both layers are sandwiched, the two layers being controllable at least partially independently of one another. Another form of the invention uses three different types of particles within a single electrophoretic layer, with the three types of particles being arranged to shutter independently of one another.

摘要： The image stability of electrophoretic media, comprising a plurality of particles disposed in a fluid and capable of moving through the fluid upon application of an electric field to the medium, can be improved by including in the fluid either a polystyrene or an aggregating diblock copolymer which forms micelle-like structures in the fluid, the diblock copolymer having a first block soluble in the fluid and a second block not swellable by the fluid. In variable transmission electrophoretic media, haze can be reduced by using as the fluid a mixture of a partially hydrogenated aromatic hydrocarbon and a terpene.

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, patterned coatings of capsules may be formed by applying a fluid form of an electrophoretic medium to a substrate, and applying a temporally varying voltage between an electrode and the substrate. The process may be repeated to allow for deposition of full color displays.

摘要翻译： 通过在液体（104）中分散多个电泳胶囊（102），将基底（106）的至少一部分与流体（104）接触，形成在基底（106）上的包封的电泳介质的涂层。 以及在与所述流体（104）接触的所述基底（106）的所述部分的至少一部分与与所述流体（104）电接触的对电极（110）之间施加电位差，由此使得所述胶囊（102） 沉积在与流体（102）接触的基底（106）的部分的至少一部分上。 可以使用多个胶囊沉积步骤将含有不同颜色的胶囊的图案涂层沉积成与电极配准。 或者，胶囊的图案化涂层可以通过将电泳培养基的流体形式施加到基底上，并且在电极和基底之间施加时间上变化的电压来形成。 可以重复该过程以允许全色显示器的沉积。
