Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an electrophoretic display, comprising: forming a display array substrate including a thin film transistor monolithically integrally formed thereon and electrically connected to a gate line, a source line, and a pixel electrode also integrally formed on the array substrate; providing a selectively activatable adhesive which cures at a temperature substantially above room temperature; providing an electrophoretic film having the selectively activatable adhesive loosely adhered to a bottom major surface of the electrophoretic film where the bottom major surface opposes a top major surface of the electrophoretic film from which top major surface, image defining light will be reflected to a viewing user of the electrophoretic display; overlapping and aligning the combination of the electrophoretic film and the selectively activatable adhesive on the array substrate; and after alignment is complete, annealing the adhesive by subjecting it to a temperature of more than 60° C. for thereby substantially increasing adhesive strength of the adhesive relative to at least one of the adjacent array substrate and electrophoretic film.
