## Background
BACKGROUND
This application claims priority to a Taiwan application No. 097146634 filed Dec. 1, 2008.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to a display and a fabricating method thereof, and more particular to an electro-phoretic display and a fabricating method thereof.
2. Description of the Related Art
Since the flexible display not only has advantages of light weight and thin thickness, but also has advantages of flexibility and is not easy to be broken. Therefore, the development of the flexible display panel has become increasingly important. Nowadays, the popular flexible display is the electro-phoretic display (so-called EPD). In the electro-phoretic display panel, the distribution of charged particles is controlled based on electric field to change the reflectivity of the display region with respect to the ambient light so as to display pictures. According to the display theory, the electro-phoretic display panel has bistability and needs no additional light source to illuminate, so it fills the bill of high power-saving in present flexible display panel.
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a conventional electro-phoretic layer. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a portion of a conventional electro-phoretic display. Referring FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, during the fabricating process of the conventional electro-phoretic display, a plurality of electro-phoretic displaying units 110 such as, electro-phoretic microcapsules or electro-phoretic microcups are disposed between a transparent substrate 120 and a transparent substrate 130 to form an electro-phoretic film 100, and then the electro-phoretic film 100 is smoothly attached on an active elements array substrate 200 as an electro-phoretic layer.
In addition, for considering the brightness and the colorized of images displayed by the electro-phoretic display, the method of using the colored charged particles in the electro-phoretic displaying units 110 to display colored images is researched and developed by every manufacturer. However, since the interval between two adjacent electro-phoretic displaying units 110 in the electro-phoretic film 100 is different from the interval between two pixel electrodes 210 of the active elements array substrate 200, the electro-phoretic displaying units 110 with different colors are driven at the same time.
As shown in FIG. 2, if a portion of the electro-phoretic displaying unit 110 having the red charged particles 112r and a portion of the electro-phoretic displaying unit 110 having the green charged particles 112g correspond to the same pixel electrode 210, the color of the image displayed by applying a driving voltage to the pixel electrode 210 is red, green and mixing color thereof, not purely red or green. Accordingly, the chromatic performance of the images displayed by the conventional electro-phoretic display is undesired.

FIG. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an electro-phoretic display of another embodiment of this invention. Referring to FIG.8, the barrier structure 360 disposed on the first substrate 310 extends to the second substrate 340 and may be made of resin, graphite, electroless plating nickel, chromium or other light-shielding materials. Thus, the barrier structure 360 of the embodiment is not only used for fixing the positions of the electro-phoretic displaying units 330 on the first substrate 310, also has the same light-shielding efficacy with the light-shielding layer 370 of the aforementioned embodiment.
The electro-phoretic display of this invention will be described according to one of the aforementioned embodiments and figures thereinafter.
Referring to FIG. 3D again, electro-phoretic display 300 comprises the first substrate 310, the pixel electrodes 320, the electro-phoretic displaying units 330, the second substrate 340 and the transparent electrode 350. The pixel electrodes 320 are arranged in a matrix form on a first substrate 310. In this embodiment, the electro-phoretic display 300 is, for example, an active matrix display uses a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) as driven elements, so there are not only pixel electrodes 320 disposed on the first substrate 310, but also data lines 312, scan lines 314 and the thin film transistors 316.

Referring to FIG. 3D again, each pixel electrode 320 corresponds to several colored charged particles 332 with the same color. Specifically, there may be a single electro-phoretic displaying unit 330 or a plurality of electro-phoretic displaying units 330 having colored charged particles 322 with the same color (as shown in FIG. 6) on each pixel electrode 320. In the other words, the pixel electrodes 320 are used for driving the electro-phoretic displaying units 330 having colored charged particles 322 with a color, respectively.
Besides, each electro-phoretic displaying unit 330 may be disposed on a plurality of the pixel electrodes 320, as shown in FIG. 7. In this embodiment, each electro-phoretic displaying unit 330 is disposed on two pixel electrodes 320. Thus, each electro-phoretic displaying unit 330 is driven by two pixel electrodes 320.
As shown in FIG. 3D, the electro-phoretic display 330 of this embodiment further comprises the barrier structure 360 disposed on the first substrate 310 for partitioning a plurality of containing spaces 362 thereon. The electro-phoretic displaying units 330 are disposed into the containing spaces 362 one-to-one.
The second substrate 340 is disposed above the electro-phoretic displaying units 330. In this embodiment, the light-shielding layer with a plurality of openings 372 is disposed on the second substrate 340. The transparent electrode 350 located between the second substrate 340 and the electro-phoretic displaying units 330 is disposed on the light-shielding layer with the result that filled into the openings 372. Since the openings 372 of the light-shielding layer 370 correspond to the containing spaces 362 partitioned on the first substrate 310 by the barrier structure 372 one-to-one, the light emitted from the electro-phoretic display 300 may be prevented from mixing. Therefore, the chromatic contrast of the image displayed by the electro-phoretic display 300 may be improved.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the electro-phoretic display 300 with electro-phoretic microcups 930, the light-shielding layer 370 is also used for improving the contrast of the displayed image.
In another embodiment of this invention, the barrier structure 360 disposed on the first substrate 310 also may be used for improving the contrast of display. Referring to FIG. 8, the barrier structure 360 disposed on the first substrate 310 extends from the first substrate 310 to the second substrate 340, and is made of resin, graphite, electroless planting nickel, chromium or other light-shielding materials to achieve the same efficacy with the light-shielding layer 370 in FIG. 3D.
In summary, each pixel electrode only controls the electro-phoretic displaying units having the colored charged particles with one color in the electro-phoretic display of this invention. Thus, the electro-phoretic display of this invention can select a part of the pixel electrodes for being driven according to the color of the image being displayed. Therefore, if the electro-phoretic displaying units with the colored charged particles having the same color are selected, the electro-phoretic display can display single-color images. Accordingly, the electro-phoretic display of this invention may have an improved chromatic performance.
