Abstract

The stably dispersed electrophoretic fluid contains octadecylamine-modified phthalocyanine green G which is used as electrophoretic display particles, Span80 as charge control agent, tetrachloroethylene (TCE) as dispersion medium, and oil-soluble yellow as background. The electronic ink microcapsules are prepared by complex coacervation, and the shell is made from gelatin and gum arabic. Parallel electrodes display shows that the mobility of phthalocyanine green G in the electronic ink microcapsules and the conversion between yellow and green is good. The results show that the modified phthalocyanine green G particles have good dispersion and reversibility under electric field.
