Title:
METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING COLD SEAL FLUID-FILLED DISPLAY APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/097252
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This methods and devices described herein relate to displays and methods of manufacturing cold seal fluid- filled displays, including MEMS. The fluid substantially surrounds the moving components of the MEMS display to reduce the effects of stiction and to improve the optical and electromechanical performance of the display. The invention relates to a method for sealing a MEMS display at a lower temperature such that a vapor bubble forms only at temperatures about 15°C to about 20°C below the seal temperature. In some embodiments, the MEMS display apparatus includes a first substrate, a second substrate separated from the first substrate by a gap and supporting an array of light modulators, a fluid substantially filling the gap, a plurality of spacers within the gap, and a sealing material joining the first substrate to the second substrate.
