Abstract: A coating of an encapsulated electrophoretic medium (204) is formed on discrete areas (602) of a substrate (208) by contacting the substrate (208) with a fluid form of the medium (204), and applying a potential difference between the substrate (208) and an electrode (212). The potential difference is varied with time to cause the medium (204) to be deposited upon the discrete areas (602), which are separated by areas where no medium (204) is present. Multiple media may be deposited to allow production of full color displays.

Abstract translation: 封装的电泳介质（204）的涂层通过使衬底（208）与介质（204）的流体形式接触而在衬底（208）的离散区域（602）上形成，并且在衬底 （208）和电极（212）。 电位差随着时间而变化，导致介质（204）沉积在由不存在介质（204）的区域分离的离散区域（602）上。 可以沉积多种介质以允许生产全彩色显示器。

Abstract: Abstract An electrophoretic medium has walls defining a microcavity containing an internal phase. This internal phase comprises electrophoretic particles suspended in a suspending fluid and capable of moving therethrough upon application of an electric field to the electrophoretic medium. The average height of the microcavity differs by not more than 5mm from the saturated particle thickness of the electrophoretic particle divided by the volume fraction of the electrophoretic particles in the internal phase.

Abstract: An electro-optic display comprises, in order, a backplane comprising a plurality of pixel electrodes; a layer of a solid electro-optic medium; a main adhesive layer; and at least one of a light-transmissive protective layer and a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer. The electro-optic layer may be in direct contact with the backplane or separated therefrom by a thin auxiliary layer of adhesive. The main adhesive layer may be colored to provide a color filter array. An inverted front plane laminate useful in forming such a display comprises the same layers except that the backplane is replaced by a release sheet. The display combines good low temperature performance and good resolution at higher temperatures.
