Abstract

Abstract A suspension for electrophoretic display systems, such as the display systems shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,668,106, is described. The particles in the suspension are coated with a highly fluorinated polymeric material, which acts as a dispersant. Preferably, the suspension also includes a charge control agent.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 58 words
An electrophoretic display composition comprising particles suspended in a liquid, at least a portion of said particles being at least partially coated with a highly fluorinated polymeric material of highly fluorinated organic compounds having chains longer than C 8 , said polymeric material being a dispersant, a charge control agent or a matrix for a charge control agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 58 words
An electrophoretic display composition comprising particles suspended in a liquid, at least a portion of said particles being at least partially coated with a highly fluorinated polymeric material of highly fluorinated organic compounds having chains longer than C 8 , said polymeric material being a dispersant, a charge control agent or a matrix for a charge control agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 63 words
The electrophoretic display composition of claim 1 wherein said highly fluorinated long-chain alkyl or alkyl aryl carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids and phosphoric acids, their esters and metal salts; highly fluorinated long-chain alkyl or alkyl aryl alcohols; highly fluorinated A-B block copolymers of long-chain alkyl or alkyl aryl alcohol with ethylene glycol or propylene glycol; and highly fluorinated poly alkyl methacrylate and its copolymers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 15 words
The electrophoretic display composition of claim 1 and further including a non-polymeric charge control agent.
