Microcapsules are distributed in the electronic ink layer, and at least one kind of quantum dots which are used to display one color are encapsulated within the microcapsules.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic paper display device, comprising:
an upper substrate provided with a first electrode layer;
a lower substrate provided with a second electrode layer; and
an electronic ink layer provided between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, microcapsules being distributed within the electronic ink layer,
wherein at least one kind of quantum dots for displaying one color are encapsulated within the microcapsules;
wherein two kinds of charged particles are provided within the microcapsules, one kind of the charged particles having a polarity opposite to the other kind of the charged particles; and
wherein one kind or two kinds of the charged particles are respectively clad with the quantum dots.

2. The electronic paper display device according to claim 1 , wherein the quantum dots for displaying at least one of red, green and blue are encapsulated within the microcapsules.

3. The electronic paper display device according to claim 2 , wherein the quantum dots for displaying red have a grain size ranging from 18 nm to 20 nm.

4. The electronic paper display device according to claim 2 , wherein the quantum dots for displaying green have a grain size ranging from 12 nm to 14 nm.

5. The electronic paper display device according to claim 2 , wherein the quantum dots for displaying blue have a grain size ranging from 6 nm to 8 nm.

6. The electronic paper display device according to claim 1 , wherein the charged particles have a grain size which is 10 to 100 times as much as a grain size of the quantum dots.

7. The electronic paper display device according to claim 1 , wherein the charged particles within the microcapsules comprise negatively charged black particles and positively charged white particles, each of the positively charged white particles being clad with a quantum dot layer, wherein the quantum dots in the quantum dot layer are neutral.

8. The electronic paper display device according to claim 1 , wherein the charged particles within the microcapsules comprise positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles, each of the negatively charged black particles being clad with a quantum dot layer, wherein the quantum dots in the quantum dot layer are neutral.

9. The electronic paper display device according to claim 1 , wherein the charged particles within the microcapsules comprise negatively charged black particles each of which is clad with a quantum dot layer, and positively charged white particles each of which is clad with the quantum dot layer; and wherein the quantum dots in the quantum dot layer are neutral.

10. The electronic paper display device according to claim 1 , wherein one kind of the charged particles having a polarity opposite to the other kind of the charged particles; and wherein charged quantum dots are directly taken as one kind of the charged particles to achieve colorful display of a pure color.

11. The electronic paper display device according to claim 10 , wherein the charged particles within the microcapsules comprise positively charged quantum dots and negatively charged black particles.

12. The electronic paper display device according to claim 10 , wherein the charged particles within the microcapsules comprise positively charged white particles and negatively charged quantum dots.

13. The electronic paper display device according to claim 1 , wherein one kind of the charged particles having a polarity opposite to the other kind of the charged particles; and wherein charged quantum dots are directly taken as two kinds of the charged particles to achieve colorful display of a pure color.
