METHOD OF FABRICATING ELECTROPHORETIC INK, ELECTROPHORETIC INK FORMED USING THE METHOD, AND ELECTROPHORETIC DISPLAY HAVING THE SAME

摘要

Provided are a method of fabricating an electrophoretic ink, the electrophoretic ink formed using the method, and an electrophoretic display having the same. The method of fabricating the electrophoretic ink includes dispersing a pigment particle into a dielectric fluid for the electrophoretic ink and adding at least monomer and initiator to the dielectric fluid to form a polymeric membrane surrounding the pigment particle. Since the pigment particle surrounded by the polymeric membrane and the dielectric fluid in which the pigment particle is dispersed can be utilized as the electrophoretic ink as they are, the method of fabricating the electrophoretic ink is simplified.
