Properly-coated pigment particles for use in an electrophoretic display include pigment particles having a pre-determined density and application of a polymeric coating to the pigment particles, wherein the coating comprises a near fluoropolymer, and wherein the density of the fluoropolymer is substantially the same as the density of the pigment particles. When a polymeric coating is applied having a density that is substantially the same as the density of the pigment particles, even though the particles comprise a distribution of particle sizes, the density of the pigment particles is not significantly altered. In a preferred embodiment, the pigment particle comprises a diarylide yellow pigment, having a density of 1.43 g/ml, coated with a polymer made from the monomer 2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorostyrene, having a density of 1.41 g/ml. |
