Problems solved by technology

[0011] ① In order to prevent the microcup structure from being very fragile due to the mutual cross-linking and shrinkage of the internal materials of the microcup, Xianhai Chen from the US SiPix Imaging (image) company added rubber materials with a mass concentration of 8% to 15% in thermosetting plastics. (such as SBR, PBR, NBR, etc.) effectively improve the flexibility of the microcup array; but because the rubber material used will dissolve or swell in solvents such as tetrachloroethylene, it is not suitable for colorants containing tetrachloroethylene Capping of dispersion systems
[0013] ③Tetrachlorethylene is different from the above-mentioned fluorine-containing solvents. It is miscible with most unsaturated ester glues. In this miscible state, either no curing occurs, or the entire microcup is cured. Only the surface layer is cured; and because of the excellent solubility of tetrachlorethylene, it can dissolve fat, oil, rubber, natural resin, most synthetic resins and aromatic organic acids, even if it is cured by crosslinking or polymerization, it will not change after a long time. Will form the capping layer to gradually dissolve; due to the volatility and strong solubility of tetrachlorethylene, means such as heating, interfacial polymerization or humidity changes adopted by SiPix Imaging (image) company in the United States are used as electrophoretic medium for tetrachlorethylene in the microcup. It is difficult to implement the curing and capping of the pigment dispersion
[0014] ④ There are many researches related to electronic paper and electronic ink in China, but most of them follow the example of E-ink and other companies (020139592.6) to do research on microcapsules. Zhejiang University Wang Mang and Chen Hongzheng et al. Preliminary research on the fabrication of microcups using acrylate, but no reports on flexible substrates and microcup caps

Abstract

The invention relates to an electronic paper micro-cup, in particular to a method for the one-step sealing of the electronic paper micro-cup on flexible basal material in solvent with strong dissolution or swelling such as tetrachlorethylene, and sealing material thereof. According to the invention, unsaturated acrylic ester derivatives are taken as main material to prepare sealing glue liquor together with oligomers, monomers, a photoinitiator, a modifier, a surfactant and conductive material. The sealing glue liquor is mixed with pigment dispersing liquor according to certain proportion and is used for completing the sealing through emulsification and dispersion, delamination, and photo solidification. The sealing thickness can be accurately controlled through the volumetric ratio of the sealing glue liquor and the pigment dispersing liquor. The invention can not only be suitable for sealing electronic ink or liquid crystal to realize flexible or rigid plate display, but also be used for the micro-flow control, cell or tissue culture, synthesis and preparation in the fields of biology, medicine and chemistry.
