Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a multi-color electrophoretic display involving adding colorant solutions or dispersions of different colors and charged pigment particles in separate steps. The process comprises a first step of pattern-wise filling colorant solutions or dispersions into microcups in predetermined areas, followed by a step of pattern-wise or non-pattern-wise adding an electrophoretic fluid comprising charged pigment particles dispersed in a dielectric solvent or solvent mixture into the microcups which are pre-filled with the colorants.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for testing and inspection of a display panel. The methods involve the application of voltages to rollers or testing conductive films. By applying a potential difference to the appropriate rollers or testing conductive films, different optical states of a display panel can be displayed for inspection.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an assembly for electroplating comprising an electroplating bath and non-conductive plates. The invention is also directed to an assembly for electroplating comprising an electroplating bath, elements with electrically adjustable resistance, and ampere-hour meters. The invention is further directed to methods for monitoring, controlling and adjusting the thickness distribution of an electroplated material on an object. The object can be of any shape as long as it can electrically charged.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an embossing assembly comprising an embossing sleeve having a three-dimensional pattern formed thereon, an expandable insert; and a drum over which said sleeve and said expandable insert are mounted. The present invention is also directed to a method for preparing an embossing drum or an embossing sleeve. The present invention is further directed to a method for controlling the thickness of a plating material over the surface of a drum or sleeve in an electroplating process.
