Abstract

To improve the lower contrast ratio of yellow-white dual color electrophoretic display cell, dispersion polymerization, and miniemulsion polymerization method were used to obtain good performance of Pigment Yellow 110 (PY110) composite particles. Crude PY110 particles and Span80 were suspended into the ethanol by dispersion method to obtain PY110-S, which were subsequently coated with styrene (St) through a mini-emulsion polymerization procedure to acquire PS/PY110-S as an electronic ink material. The modified pigments were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), UV–vis spectroscopy. Furthermore, the Pigment Red 146 which coated with styrene (St) through a miniemulsion polymerization procedure was doped into the PS/PY110-S. Then, the obtained mixed particles were successfully incorporated in an electrophoretic display cell. And the contrast ratio of yellow-white electrophoretic display cell was significantly improved. The contrast ratio reached 1.58.
