Benefits of technology

"This patent is about stable colorants for a microcup-based electrophoretic, magnetophoretic or electromagnetophoretic display. The use of stable colorants allows for a display with superior contrast and longevity. The patent also discusses the composition of the dispersion, which affects the performance of the display. The invention relates to the use of halogenated solvents in the dispersion, which can improve the display's quality and performance."

Problems solved by technology

However, most dyes or pigments are not soluble in fluorinated solvents, particularly not in high boiling-point perfluorinated solvents.
Therefore, displays based on fluorinated dielectric solvents colored by this type of dyes typically show poor shelf-life stability, contrast ratio and switching performance.
This synthesis involves complicated reaction conditions (e.g., high pressure and temperature) and long reaction time and has a low yield.
However, due to its low solubility, the Cu dye inevitably will precipitate out at low temperature (subzero) and as a result, the switching performance of the display deteriorates dramatically.

Preparation of R.sub.f-amine Oligomers for Microencapsulation

[0070] 4

[0071] 17.8 Grams of Krytox.RTM. methyl ester (MW=.about.1780, a=about 10, from DuPont) was dissolved in a mixture of 12 g of 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane (Aldrich) and 1.5 g of .alpha.,.alpha.,.alpha.-trifluorotoluene (Aldrich). The resulting solution was added drop by drop into a solution containing 7.3 g of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (MW=146, from Aldrich) in 25 g of .alpha.,.alpha.,.alpha.-trifluorotoluene and 30 g of 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethene, over 2 hours with stirring at room temperature. The mixture was then stirred for another 8 hours to allow the reaction to complete. The IR spectrum of the product clearly indicated the disappearance of the C.dbd.O vibration for the methyl ester at 1780 cm.sup.-1 and the appearance of the C.dbd.O vibration for the amide product at 1695 cm.sup.-1. The solvents were removed by rotary evaporation followed by vacuum stripping at 100.degree. C. for 4-6 hours (1 Torr). The ...

Preparation of Density Matched TiO.sub.2 Microcapsules

[0072] 5.9 Grams of TiO.sub.2 R900 (DuPont) was added to a solution consisting of 3.77 g of MEK, 4.31 g of N3400 aliphatic polyisocyanate (Bayer AG) and 0.77 g of 1-[N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-2-propanol (Aldrich). The resulting slurry was homogenized for 1 minute at 5-10.degree. C.; 0.01 g of dibutyltin dilaurate (Aldrich) was added and homogenized for an additional minute at 5-10.degree. C.; and finally a solution containing 20 g of HT-200 and 0.47 g of R.sub.f-amine 1900 (from Preparation 1) was added and homogenized again for 3 minutes at room temperature.

[0073] The slurry prepared above was emulsified slowly at room temperature by a homogenizer into a mixture of 31 g of HT-200 and 2.28 g of R.sub.f-amine650 (from Preparation 1). The resulting microcapsule dispersion was kept stirring under low shear by a mechanical stirrer at 35.degree. C. for 30 minutes and at 80.degree. C. for 3 hours to remove MEK and post cure the mic...

Synthesis and Evaluation of Fluorinated Silicon Phthalocyanine Compound (1)

[0074] As shown in Scheme 1 below, the 2 step, 1 pot procedure involves conversion of a highly fluorinated ether alcohol (Krytox.TM. from DuPont) to its sodium salt, followed by, without isolation, reaction with silicon phthalocyanine dichloride (Aldrich).

[0075] The Structure of Compound (1) 5 6

[0076] A mixture of KrytoX.TM. monofunctional alcohol (M.W. 1571, 6.51 g, 4.15 mmol, Du Pont), sodium lump (0.14 g, 6.09 mmol) and anhydrous ether (20 mL) was refluxed for 23 hours under Ar atmosphere. The resulting mixture was added to a suspension of silicon phthalocyanine dichloride [dichloro(29H,3H-phthalocyaninato)silicon, SiPcCl.sub.2] (1.00 g, 1.64 mmol, Aldrich), toluene (80 mL) and pyridine (20 mL), where the toluene and pyridine each had been dried by distillation (-10 mL of distillate) via pipette (without adding unreacted sodium pieces). The resulting mixture was distilled slowly over 24 hours (.about.40 mL...

Abstract

This invention relates to stable colorants of high extinction coefficient and high solubility or dispersibility for an electrophoretic, magnetophoretic or electromagnetophoretic display. More particularly, it relates to stable colorants for a microcup-based electrophoretic or electromagnetophoretic display the cells of which are filled with charged and / or magnetic particles dispersed in a halogenated, preferably a fluorinated, solvent. The use of the stable colorants allows the display to be of superior contrast ratio and longevity, and suitable for high-quality imagery applications.
