Disclosed is a transparent, radiation curable acrylate coating composition comprising (a) at least three polyfunctional acrylate derivatives, (b) a photoinitiator selected from the group consisting of phosphine oxides, ketones, and combinations thereof, (c) a nanoscale filler, and (d) a dibenzoyl resorcinol UV absorber, at least one of said acrylate derivatives being an aliphatic polyester urethane multi-acrylate having an acrylate functionality of at least 5 and an elongation of no greater than 5%, and at least two of said acrylate derivatives being diacrylates, wherein at least one of said diacrylates is an aliphatic Polyester urethane diacrylate having an elongation of greater than 5% and a number average molecular weight of from 500 to about 2500 and wherein another of said diacrylates is a urethane-free diacrylate having a number average molecular weight of from about 150 to about 600.

Radiation curable hardcoat with improved weatherability

The invention is directed to novel methods and compositions useful for improving the performance of electrophoretic displays. The methods comprise adding a high absorbance dye or pigment, or conductive particles, or a conductive filler in the form of nanoparticles and having a volume resistivity of less than about 10ohm cm, or a charge transport material into an electrode protecting layer of the display.

Methods and compositions for improved electrophoretic display performance

A process for forming a patterned thin film structure on a substrate is disclosed. A pattern is printed with a material, such as a masking coating or an ink, on the substrate, the pattern being such that, in one embodiment, the desired thin film structures will be formed in the areas where the printed material is not present, i.e., a negative image of thin film structure to be formed is printed. In another embodiment, the pattern is printed with a material that is difficult to strip from the substrate, and the desired thin film structures will be formed in the areas where the printed material is present, i.e., a positive image of the thin film structure is printed. The thin film material is deposited on the patterned substrate, and the undesired area is stripped, leaving behind the patterned thin film structures.

Process for forming a patterned thin film structure on a substrate

This invention relates to an electrophoretic display comprising cells of well-defined shape, size and aspect ratio, which cells are filled with charged pigment particles dispersed in a solvent, and novel processes for its manufacture.

Electrophoretic display and process for its manufacture

A matrix driven electrophoretic display with a multi-layer back plane is disclosed. The display comprises a top electrode layer, a display cell layer, and a multi-layer back plane. In one embodiment, the multi-layer back plane comprises an electrode formed on the top surface of the top substrate of the multi-layer back plane, a conductive via structure through the substrate, and a conductive trace connected electrically to the via structure at the bottom surface of the first substrate, whereby an electrical connection may be made from the electrode to a structure or component not located immediately beneath the electrode in the multi-layer back plane. In other embodiments, the multi-layer back plane may comprise additional layers and via holes, as needed to connect the electrode with the appropriate switching elements and/or driver elements, as applicable. Such switching and driver elements, integrated with multi-layer back plane.
