  • Patent number: 8270063
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrophoretic display, comprising electrodes and cells containing at least one kind of ionic, monochrome particles, a non-polar liquid and a dispersant, wherein the ionic, monochrome particles of at least one kind are essentially aggregates consisting of a carbon containing pigment and a cationic pigment orcationic pigment derivative, and the dispersantis selected from the group consisting of polyacrylates, polyesters, polyurethanes and copolymers, with the proviso that the cationic pigment or cationic pigment derivative is not a reaction product of carbonblack with diazotated procaine hydrochloride. In general, the whole quantity of the pigment and the main part, preferably at least 80%, most preferred from 95% to 100%, of the whole cationic pigment or cationic pigment derivative present within the cells is comprised in the aggregates, with essentially no pigment and only a minor part of the cationic pigment or cationic pigment derivative physically distinct from the aggregates.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 18, 2012
    Assignee: BASF SE
    Inventors: Margherita Fontana, Gerardus De Keyzer, Philippe Bugnon, Marcel Hahn, Kishor Kumar Mistry, Clemens Auschra
  • Patent number: 8040592
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrophoretic display, comprising electrodes and cells containing at least one kind of ionic, monochrome particles, a non-polar liquid and a dispersant, wherein the ionic, monochrome particles of at least one kind are essentially aggregates consisting of a carbon containing pigment and an anionic pigment or anionic pigment derivative, and the dispersant is selected from the group consisting of polyacrylates, polyesters, polyurethanes and copolymers. In general, the whole quantity of the pigment and the main part, preferably at least 80%, most preferred from 95% to 100%, of the whole anionic pigment or anionic pigment derivative present within the cells is comprised in the aggregates, with essentially no pigment and only a minor part of the anionic pigment or anionic pigment derivative physically distinct from the aggregates.

  • Publication number: 20100178308
    Abstract: The invention relates to pigment based on (multiple) coated platelet-shaped substrates comprising an outer layer which is obtained by treatment with a metal oxide/hydroxide and then a phosphate ester, or phosphonate, or a salt thereof, with the proviso that the phosphate ester, or phosphonate do not contain fluorine, to a method for producing said pigments and the use thereof. The outer layer provides a very good photo-stabilisation of the TiO2coated platelet-shaped substrates, such as mica, combined with a good water resistance and an anti-yellowing performance.
