A method for making electrophoretic displays layers including various thin films that are deposited directly onto a layer of microcapsules of electrophoretic media. In an embodiment, a thin film of a light-transmissive conductive material is deposited to create a clear front electrode for an electrophoretic display. In some embodiments, both a dielectric layer and a thin film of a light-transmissive conductive material will be deposited onto the microcapsules.

Electrophoretic display layer with thin film top electrode

An electrophoretic display comprising a fluid including a first species of particles and a charge control agent disposed between first and second electrodes. When a first addressing impulse have an electrical polarity is applied to the medium, the first species of particles move in one direction relative to the electric field, but when a second addressing impulse, larger than the first addressing impulse but having the same electrical polarity, is applied to the medium, the first species of particles move in the opposed direction relative to the electric field.

Colored electrophoretic displays using same polarity reversing address pulse

An electrophoretic medium comprises a fluid, a first, light scattering particle (typically white) and second, third and fourth particles having three subtractive primary colors (typically magenta, cyan and yellow); at least two of these colored particles being non-light scattering. The first and second particles bear polymer coatings such that the electric field required to separate an aggregate formed by the third and the fourth particles is greater than that required to separate an aggregate formed from any other two types of particles. Methods for driving the medium to produce white, black, magenta, cyan, yellow, red, green and blue colors are also described.

Colored electrophoretic displays

An electrophoretic medium comprises a plurality of charged particles disposed in a fluid. The fluid comprises at least about 75, and preferably at least about 95, percent by weight of a hydrocarbon selected from monounsaturated nonenes, nonane and methyloctane. The electrophoretic medium is especially useful in microcell electrophoretic media comprising a substrate having a plurality of cavities, and a sealing layer closing the open ends of the cavities, the cavities being filled with the electrophoretic medium.

Electrophoretic medium

An adhesive composition comprising a polyurethane and a cationic polymeric dopant or a polymerizable cationic dopant may be used to form one or more adhesive layers of electro-optic assemblies. They enable improved electro-optic performance of the corresponding electro-optic devices even at low temperatures.

Adhesive composition comprising a polyurethane and a cationic dopant

An electrophoretic particle including a pigment particle having an intermediate residue covalently bonded to the surface of the pigment particle and a polymer bonded to the intermediate residue. The polymer may be derived from one or more types of monomers and at least one of the monomers is a substituted or unsubstituted styrene monomer including halogenated styrenic monomers. The electrophoretic particle may be used in an electrophoretic medium including a dispersion of the particles in a suspending fluid. The electrophoretic medium may be incorporated into an electro-optic display.

Electrophoretic particles, media, and displays and processes for the production thereof

The hydrogen production system for internal combustion engines includes an intake air scoop, a vacuum block having an air input port system for receiving air from the intake air scoop, a water reservoir connected to the vacuum block for providing water to be mixed with the air in the vacuum block, at least one primary generator assembly with an inlet port for receiving the air/water vapor mixture from the vacuum block and producing a mixture of hydrogen, produced oxygen, and fine hydrogen production vapor from a partially oxidized water fog, and a plurality of secondary hydrogen generator assemblies connected to the primary generator assembly for receiving this mixture. The engine vacuum draws this mixture into the intake manifold to provide an ideal fuel mixture for the engine.

Hydrogen production system for internal combustion engines

Electro-optic assemblies and related materials (e.g., adhesive) for use therein are generally provided. The electro-optic assembly comprises a hybrid adhesive layer comprising two or more adhesive materials including a polyurethane adhesive material and a polyacrylate adhesive material. The polyurethane adhesive material includes an end-capping cyclic carbonate. In some embodiments, the adhesive layer is formed by curing the two adhesive materials under two different sets of conditions, comprising two or more curing steps.

Polyurethane adhesive layers for electro-optic assemblies

Color electrophoretic displays using same polarity reversing address pulse

Electro-optic assemblies and related materials (e.g., adhesive) tier use therein are generally provided. The adhesive layer may comprise an end-capped polyurethane. Some adhesive layers comprise two or more reactive functional groups (e.g., reactive functional groups configured to react with one or more curing species such that, for example, at least one of the two or more functional groups forms a crosslink). The adhesive may also comprise a chain-extending reagent that includes one or more reactive functional groups. In some embodiments, the adhesive is cured by reacting one or more reactive functional groups with one or more curing species. Curing the adhesive may comprise two or more curing steps. In some embodiments the adhesive layer may comprise one or more cross-linkers.
