Electrophoretic displays based on electronic inks are promising candidates for electronic-paper applications due to their excellent ink-on-paper quality. Microcapsules containing polymer-coated titanium dioxide and red, green, blue(RGB) electronic ink suspensions as the core materials were fabricated via poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) as the wall materials. The poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) microcapsules were characterized in terms of their microstructure, morphologies, thermal properties, and electrophoretic display cell structure by means of optical microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM), and thermogravimetic analysis(TGA). The experimental results reveal that the polymer-coated white electronic inks in the microcapsules moved toward the positive electrode, but were pulled back in the opposite direction when the polarity was reversed. |
