There are several synthetic methods to produce functional polymer particles which can have diversified functionalities by controlling size diameter and distribution range, figure, and surface condition. The particles has played an active part in application to light-diffuser plate and sheet for LCD, and to external additive for toner. Recently, a new synthetic method is developed using Micro-Channel that enables to produce bichromal mono-dispersed micro particles. The bichromal particles are used in PLD(paper like display)with rotating ball system that has been expected as an emerging application area.
