Encapsulated-Dye All-Organic Charged Colored Ink Nanoparticles for Electrophoretic Image Display
Electrophoretic ink nanoparticles with high mobility are successfully fabricated by dispersion polymerization. The color of test cells can be changed by applying a bias voltage, as shown in the figure: the lower row shows the same cells as the upper row but with an applied voltage. These all-organic, encapsulated-dye, electrophoretic ink particles are expected to reduce the fabrication cost of e-ink in electrophoretic image display cells.
