Flexible electrophoretic-type display

A method for manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:

• forming a microwell including a lower wall and one or more peripheral side walls extending upward from the bottom wall, wherein an upper edge of the peripheral cell wall defines an opening;
• inserting an ink solution into the microwell structure through the opening, wherein the ink solution includes particles and one of an isoparaffinic-based suspension fluid and an oil-based suspension fluid;
• overcoating the microwell with a sealing solution including a polymer suspended in one of an aqueous solution and a hydroalcoholic solution;
• and
• curing the sealing solution such that the polymer forms a membrane that adheres to the upper edge of peripheral side wall and covers the opening, thereby sealing the ink solution inside the microwell.

A method for manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:

• forming a microwell including a lower wall and one or more peripheral side walls extending upward from the bottom wall, wherein an upper edge of the peripheral cell wall defines an opening, and wherein the microwell comprise a wall material having a surface energy in the range of 20 to 30 mN/m;
• inserting an ink solution into the microwell structure through the opening, wherein the ink solution includes pigment particles suspended in one of an isoparaffinic-based suspension fluid and a silicone oil-based suspension fluid);
• and
• overcoating the microwell with a sealing solution including a polymer suspended in one of an aqueous solvent and a hydroalcoholic solvent.
