Abstract

An electronic paper package structure, including a substrate, an electronic ink layer, a cover plate, a water vapor barrier film and an adhesive layer, is provided. The electronic ink layer is disposed on the substrate. The cover plate covers the electronic ink layer. The water vapor barrier film covers the substrate and the electronic ink layer. The adhesive layer is directly bonded between the cover plate and the water vapor barrier film to seal the substrate and the electronic ink layer. The adhesive layer is not bonded between the cover plate and the electronic ink layer.

Claims (23)

1. An electronic paper package structure, comprising:

a substrate;

an electronic ink layer disposed on the substrate, the substrate having a bottom surface not bonded to the electronic ink layer;

a cover plate configured to cover the electronic ink layer;

a water vapor barrier film configured to cover the substrate and the electronic ink layer; and

an adhesive layer directly bonded between the cover plate and the water vapor barrier film, and directly bonded and extending between the water vapor barrier film and the bottom surface of the substrate, wherein the adhesive layer is not bonded between the cover plate and the electronic ink layer, and wherein the water vapor barrier film and the adhesive layer are conformal in shape to seal and cover the substrate and the electronic ink layer.

2. The electronic paper package structure according to claim 1 , wherein the cover plate comprises a transparent sheet and a translucent water vapor barrier.

3. The electronic paper package structure according to claim 1 , wherein the cover plate comprises a display area and a non-display area, the display area correspondingly displays the electronic ink layer, and the non-display area is correspondingly bonded to the adhesive layer.

4. The electronic paper package structure according to claim 1 , wherein a side surface of the substrate is protruded from a side surface of the electronic ink layer by a first distance, the side surface of the electronic ink layer is separated from a side surface of the cover plate by a second distance, and the second distance is greater than the first distance.

5. The electronic paper package structure according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises an outlet extended outside the cover plate, the electronic ink layer is located between the substrate and the cover plate, and a groove is defined by a lower surface of the cover plate, a side surface of the electronic ink layer and an upper surface of the outlet.

6. The electronic paper package structure according to claim 5 , further comprising a sealant filled into the groove.

7. The electronic paper package structure according to claim 5 , wherein the adhesive layer is not bonded between the cover plate and the outlet.

8. An electronic paper package structure, comprising:

a substrate, comprising an outlet;

an electronic ink layer disposed on the substrate, the substrate having a bottom surface not bonded to the electronic ink layer;

a cover plate configured to cover the electronic ink layer;

a water vapor barrier film configured to cover the substrate and the electronic ink layer;

an adhesive layer directly bonded between the cover plate and the water vapor barrier film and directly bonded and extending between the water vapor barrier film and the bottom surface of the substrate, wherein the water vapor barrier film and the adhesive layer are conformal in shape to seal and cover the substrate and the electronic ink layer, and wherein the outlet is extended outside the cover plate, the electronic ink layer is located between the substrate and the cover plate, and a groove is defined by a lower surface of the cover plate, a side surface of the electronic ink layer and an upper surface of the outlet; and

a sealant filled into the groove.

9. The electronic paper package structure according to claim 8 , wherein the adhesive layer is not bonded between the cover plate and the electronic ink layer.

10. The electronic paper package structure according to claim 8 , wherein the adhesive layer is not bonded between the cover plate and the outlet.

11. The electronic paper package structure according to claim 8 , wherein the cover plate comprises a transparent sheet and a translucent water vapor barrier.

12. The electronic paper package structure according to claim 8 , wherein the cover plate comprises a display area and a non-display area, the display area correspondingly displays the electronic ink layer, and the non-display area is correspondingly bonded to the adhesive layer.
