Abstract
My research group has investigated EPD of phosphors for high-resolution information displays and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), zeolites for fabrication of modified electrodes and supported membranes, and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) structures . The typical EPD process used is a bath consisting of the particles of interest suspended in isopropanol (IPA) with dissolved nitrate salt. The EPD cell simply consists of two vertical, parallel electrodes held a fixed distance. The fundamentals of the EPD process were systematically investigated in our work with phosphors, including the dissociation of nitrate salts in IPA and the zeta potential of charged particles , the formation of the adhesive agents, and the factors that affect the adhesion strength of deposits. Then, the EPD process was combined with photolithography to deposit triads of phosphor stripes for producing high-resolution color displays.
