Electrophoretic display and method of manufacturing thereof

Abstract

A electrophoretic display is provided, which includes: a thin film transistor array panel including a plurality of data lines having a plurality of source electrodes and a plurality of drain electrodes, a plurality of organic semiconductor islands at least covering the portion of the source and the drain electrodes and disposed between the source and the drain electrodes, a plurality of gate insulators formed on the organic semiconductor islands, a plurality of gate lines including a plurality of gate electrodes disposed on the gate insulators, and a plurality of pixel electrodes connected to the drain electrodes; a common electrode panel facing the thin film transistor array panel and having a common electrode; and a plurality of micro-capsules containing a plurality of negative and positive pigment particles and interposed between the thin film transistor array panel and the common electrode panel.
