ELECTROPHORETIC DISPLAY WITH ENHANCED CONTRAST
First Claim
1. An electrophoretic display comprising:
- (a) a first layer comprising a common electrode;
(b) a second layer comprising at least one collecting pixel electrode;
(c) a plurality of display cells which are sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer and are filled with an electrophoretic fluid comprising charged pigment particles dispersed in a solvent or solvent mixture; and
(d) a background layer which has the same color as the solvent or solvent mixture.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to an electrophoretic display with enhanced contrast. The invention is directed to an electrophoretic display comprising: a first layer comprising a common electrode, a second layer comprising at least one collecting pixel electrode, a plurality of display cells which are sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer and are filled with an electrophoretic fluid comprising charged pigment particles dispersed in a solvent or solvent mixture; and a background layer. More specifically, the invention provides an electrophoretic display having the dark color state darker while maintaining the same intensity of the lighter color state.
