Claims15
A manufacturing method for a twist ball type electronic paper comprising steps of:
- a transparent electrode side base material preparing step of preparing a transparent electrode side base material by forming a transparent electrode on one side surface of a first base material comprising a film having transparency;
- a counter electrode side base material preparing step of preparing a counter electrode side base material by forming in a pattern a counter electrode using a forming method capable of patterning the counter electrode on one side surface of a second base material comprising a film with an insulation property;
- a twist ball layer forming step of forming a twist ball layer out of a twist ball and a low polarity solvent layer including a low polarity solvent;
- and
- a twist ball layer sealing step of sealing the twist ball layer with the first base material and the second base material by disposing the transparent electrode side base material and the counter electrode side base material in such a way that the twist ball layer is sandwiched between the transparent electrode side base material and the counter electrode side base material, and disposing the counter electrode side base material with the counter electrode disposed on an opposite side with respect to the twist ball layer.
