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.
