Systems, methods and compositions relating to display elements

A process of manufacturing a display cell, comprising:

• obtaining a pair of electrodes;
• placing a film comprising an open-structured network between said electrodes, wherein said open-structured network defines a plurality of open structures, and wherein said placing comprises applying said film to at least one of said pair of electrodes;
• assembling said electrodes and said open-structured network to form a sub-assembly, wherein said assembling comprises applying an adhesive to bind said pair of electrodes having said open-structured network disposed therebetween;
• injecting into said subassembly, between said pair of electrodes, a discontinuous phase comprising a polarizable component, wherein said polarizable component is dielectrophoretically addressable via an externally applied electric field generated between said pair of electrodes such that under the influence of said externally applied field, said mobile phase is displaceable through or within said plurality of open structures of said open-structured network, and wherein said displacement comprises a dielectrophoretic component of motion.

A process of manufacturing a display cell, comprising:

• obtaining a pair of electrodes;
• assembling said electrodes to form a sub-assembly;
• injecting into said subassembly, between said pair of electrodes, a discontinuous phase and an open-structured network comprising a plurality of open structures;
• establishing a separation distance between said pair of electrodes of said sub-assembly between less than 20 microns and about 3 microns, said open-structured network and said discontinuous phase disposed within said separation distance, wherein said discontinuous phase comprises a polarizable component, and wherein said polarizable component is dielectrophoretically addressable via an externally applied electric field generated between said pair of electrodes to displace said discontinuous phase through or within said plurality of open structures of said open-structured network.

A process of manufacturing a display cell, comprising:

• obtaining a pair of electrodes;
• applying a paste comprising a continuous phase, a discontinuous phase and an open-structured network to at least one of said pair of electrodes, said open-structured network comprising a plurality of open structures;
• and
• assembling said pair of electrodes such that said continuous phase, said discontinuous phase and said open-structured network are disposed between said pair of electrodes, wherein said discontinuous phase comprises a polarizable component, wherein said polarizable component is dielectrophoretically addressable via an externally applied electric field generated between said pair of electrodes to displace said discontinuous phase through or within said plurality of open structures of said open-structured network.
