Microcapsulation Technique of the Black and White Particles Suspension for Electrophoretic Display

  • Published : 2003.07.09

Abstract

We present a microcapsule manufacturing technique, which contains a polymer coated white $TiO_2$ and black particles suspension as the core material for a electrophoretic display ink, via the in-situ polymerization method using melamine? formaldehyde as a wall material. The obtained capsules have $50 {\sim} 300 {\mu}m$ of the diameter range. They show a good mechanical strength and thermal and optical property. We fabricate the microcapsules to the single layer to test the black/white electrophoretic display application.
