- Abstract
- Provided are a method of fabricating an electrophoretic ink, the electrophoretic ink formed using the method, and an electrophoretic display having the same. The method of fabricating an electrophoretic ink includes dispersing pigment particles into a dielectric fluid; adding at least one monomer and an initiator into the dielectric fluid; and forming polymeric membranes surrounding the pigment particles in the dielectric fluid. Since the pigment particle surrounded by the polymeric membrane and the dielectric fluid in which the pigment particle is dispersed can be utilized as the electrophoretic ink as they are without a follow-up cleaning process, the method of fabricating the electrophoretic ink is simplified.
