Abstract: A color filter array is provided in an electro-optic display by ink jet printing a plurality of colored areas (22R, 22G, 22B) on one surface of a layer of electro-optic material (12), an adhesive layer or a protective layer. Alternatively, the ink jet printing may be effected on the same layers in various sub-assemblies used to produce electro-optic displays.

Abstract: A system for depositing an imprint onto a substrate includes a deposition surface having at least one outlet disposed therein, a substrate holder for holding the substrate against the deposition surface, means operatively associated with the deposition surface for supplying a material through said at least outlet to deposit said material onto the substrate, and a spacer member disposed in contact between the deposition surface and the substrate.

Abstract: A composition for depositing an imprint onto an elastomeric substrate, includes an aqueous film-forming polymeric emulsion suspended in an aqueous medium. The present invention is further directed to methods of depositing the same as an imprint onto the elastomeric substrate, and articles formed therefrom.

Abstract: A composition for depositing textured imprints onto an elastomeric substrate includes an aqueous film-forming polymeric emulsion suspended in an aqueous medium. In particular, the composition is formulated for deposition onto a substrate to impart visual or tactile texture to the substrate upon deposition. The present invention is further directed to methods for depositing the same as textured imprints onto the elastomeric substrate, and articles formed therefrom.

Abstract: A particle for use in an electrophoretic display comprises a light-scattering inorganic core and a light-transmissive colored shell of an organic pigment. The core may be titania and the shell may be formed of particles having an average particle size less than 700 nm. The particles are produced by treating a light-scattering inorganic pigment with a polymer which adsorbs on both the inorganic pigment and an organic pigment; and adding the organic pigment and allowing the organic pigment to mix with the polymer-coated inorganic pigment. The particles may have a polymer coating.

Abstract: A particle for use in an electrophoretic display comprises a light-scattering inorganic core and a light-transmissive colored shell of an organic pigment. In preferred particles, the core is titania and the shell is formed of particles having an average particle size less than 700 nm. The particles are produced by treating a light-scattering inorganic pigment with a polymer which adsorbs on both the inorganic pigment and an organic pigment; and adding the organic pigment and allowing the organic pigment to mix with the polymer-coated inorganic pigment.

Abstract: Polymer-coated pigment particles produced using atom transfer radical polymerization provide electrophoretic media having improved bistability without requiring addition to the electrophoretic fluid of additives which increase switching time.

Abstract: Electro-optic displays contain a plurality of types of electro-optic media within a single layer. One form of display has separate areas which undergo different color changes so that the display can blink the same image in different colors. A second form of display has areas which switch at different rates so that images can appear transiently. A third form of display has a medium comprising multiple types of electro-optic elements having differing color states and switching speeds to allow display of a wide color gamut.
