Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Various types of edge seals for protecting electro-optic displays against environmental contaminants are described. In one type of seal, the electro-optic layer is sandwiched between a backplane and a protective sheet and a sealing material extends between the backplane and the protective sheet. In other seals, the protective sheet is secured to the backplane or to a second protective sheet adjacent the backplane. The electro-optic layer can also be sealed between two layers of adhesive or between one layer of adhesive and the backplane. Other seals make use of flexible tapes extending around the periphery of the display.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An electro-optic display comprising: a backplane comprising at least one electrode; a layer of electro-optic material disposed adjacent the backplane; a front substrate disposed on the opposed side of the layer of electro-optic material from the backplane; a first protective sheet disposed adjacent the front substrate on the opposed side thereof from the layer of electro-optic material; and a second protective sheet disposed adjacent the backpl…
