Abstract:
1. A microcapsule patterning method for patterning electrophoretic microcapsules on a substrate, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a microcapsule slurry in which microcapsules and a water-soluble binder are mixed; putting the microcapsule slurry into a liquid dispenser having injection and ejection ports formed therein; and forming microcapsule lines by applying the microcapsule slurry contained in the liquid dispenser onto the substrate so as to pattern pixels using the microcapsules, wherein the liquid dispenser applies the microcapsule slurry by using pressure, wherein a distance between the microcapsule lines is set to be equal to or two or three times larger than a width of the microcapsule line such that microcapsule lines with different colors of capsules are allowed to be applied between preformed microcapsule lines.
