We analyzed voltage characteristics of toner particle type display according to particle layers and cell gap between two electrodes and ascertained the aging effects by measuring the response time of particles with and without aging process. The threshold/driving/breakdown voltage is proportional to layers of toner particles and cell gap and the response time at driving voltage is faster than that of threshold and breakdown voltage because of different q/m of color and black particles. The analysis of response time is a method of estimation of optical characteristics, driving voltage and particle lumping and these results are promoted by aging process. We use the laser and photodiode to measure response time and optical properties. It has not been studied and reported to analyze the relationship of response time, threshold/driving/breakdown voltage, lumping phenomena, cell gap, and aging process for toner particle type display.

We studied driving characteristics according to the ratio of mass and charging (m/q) value for charged toner particles with black and yellow color in charged particle type display panel. After biasing rectangle pulse to the transparency electrodes of putted panel with toner particles, its response time and contrast ratio are simultaneously measured using a laser as a optical source, photodiode as a detector and reflective system. As a results, contrast ratio is largest at the shortest response time region which is different to the particle because of m/q. We proposed relational equation for response time, m/q, cell gap and biasing voltage. It has not been studied and reported to analyze the relationship of response time, biasing voltage, lumping phenomena, cell gap, and contrast ratio for toner particle type display.

We fabricated the charged particle type display using opposite-charged two toner particles. The particles were composed of polymer, colorant($TiO_2$, carbon black) and external additives(nano-sized silica and so on). In fabrication process we controlled the putting layers of this toner particles on the inner panel. To get the effect of number of layers ($1{\sim}3$), we measured the threshold, driving and breakdown voltages, reflectivity, viewing angle, and color characteristics using RT-300 anisotropic scattering system. We ascertained that these voltages are increased with increasing of layers of particles. Cell gap between electrodes must be enlarged with increment of layers and the size of particles. The lumping phenomena of particles at near of the rib observed by optical system with same CIE values.

A measurement method of the particle-based reflective display is proposed, estimated, and compared with reported method. The reflectivity measurement by previous studies is simply obtained by integrating sphere, but it has a limitation for the estimation of real moving particles because its data include surface reflection and incomplete attachment on electrodes. To get the number of real moving particles, the area by attached particles on the electrodes is calculated at microscopic signals. The moving particles on subthreshold voltage are observed and this fluctuational variation of surface on subthreshold voltage gives a tip to understand the driving mechanism. By this measurement we ascertained the relationship of a particle layer and real driving particles, and the feasibility of observation and estimation for moving color particles, which were measured by the reflectivity and CIE (Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage) system of color specification at previous studies.

We have developed a paper-like display using polymer particles charged triboelectrically. By using a toner-type display with a simple structure, we continued that polymer particle movement is controlled by only a voltage difference between scan and data electrode. We fabricated a diagonal 2.4 inch panel on the glass substrate and successfully produced an image by the passive driving method with operating voltages of about ${\pm}$ 120 V. The contrast ratio was 4:1.

전하가 다른 두 종류의 토너입자를 ITO 기판에 격벽 높이의 차이를 두어 제작한 패널을 사용하였다. 토너입자를 충전할 때 동일한 격벽 높이의 패널을 사용하는 것과 서로 다른 패널을 사용하여 합착, 2가지 type을 제작하였다. 제작된 패널을 전압별로 구동하고 각 구동전압에서의 광특성을 측정하였다. 셀 내부에 충전되어 있는 입자보다 운동량이 적은, 즉 셀 내부에서도 격벽 표면에 흡착되어 있는 토너입자들이 구동과 광특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 평가하였다.

Charged micro-particles are widely used as the key components for many electrical applications such as an e-paper, a touch panel, a printer toner and an electronic ink. Among them, the e-paper is an emerging reflective type display using the charged particles that has the advantages of the extremely low power consumption and sunlight readability. To create images on the e-paper, we confine black positively-charged and white negatively-charged particles between bottom and top electrodes and selectively apply the electric field. When the Coulomb force by an applied electric field is greater than the adhesion force between the charged particle and the electrode, the particles' transition happens resulting in the change of color between black and white. Therefore, the adhesion force is a very important factor for designing and estimating e-paper's operation. In this study, we constructed a basic model for particle's transition and an adhesion force equation describing particle's transition with three different forces: electrostatic image force, Van der Waals force and gravitational force. The simulation results showed that the gravitational force is negligible for the interesting range for the charge and the radius, and the adhesion force can be strongly dependent on the particle's charge and radius.

본 논문에서는 균일한 전계내의 대전입자의 운동특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 패널을 제작하기 위하여 양전하를 띠는 검은색 대전입자(토너)와 음전하를 띠는 노란색 대전입자(토너)를 사용하였으며, 패널구동을 위하여 오버슈트 현상이 없는 power supply로 구형펄스를 인가하였다. 또한 RT-200을 이용하여 광학특성(대조비, 시야각)을 측정하였으며, 레이저와 포토다이오드를 사용하여 응답속도를 측정하였다. 그리고 응답속도와 대조비를 통하여 대전입자의 m/q 분포를 확인하였다. 그 결과, 대전입자의 구동전압, 대조비, 응답속도는 m/g에 의해 결정되며, 패널내부에 주입된 대전입자의 m/q 분포가 동일할수록 구동특성이 향상되었다.
