Printed appliqué and method thereof

摘要

An electro-optic assembly that includes a front substrate having a first surface and a second surface substantially parallel to the first surface; a rear substrate spaced from and substantially parallel to the front substrate, and having a third surface and a fourth surface substantially parallel to the third surface; and a carrier operably connected to at least one of the front substrate and the rear substrate. Further, the electro-optic assembly includes an appliqué layer directly on at least a first portion of the fourth surface and having an opening over a second portion of the fourth surface; and an assembly component that is coupled to the carrier, behind the fourth surface and substantially coincident with the opening. The portions of the fourth surface are in a transmissive region of the rear substrate, and the front and rear substrates define a cavity at least partially filled with an electro-optic material.

1. An electro-optic assembly, comprising:
a front substrate having a first surface and a second surface substantially parallel to the first surface; a rear substrate spaced from and substantially parallel to the front substrate, the rear substrate having a third surface and a fourth surface substantially parallel to the third surface; a carrier operably connected to at least one of the front substrate and the rear substrate; an appliqué layer directly on at least a first portion of the fourth surface and having an opening over a second portion of the fourth surface, the portions of the fourth surface in a transmissive region of the rear substrate; a light diffusing inkjet layer in the opening and over a portion of the appliqué layer in proximity to the opening; and an assembly component that is coupled to the carrier, behind the fourth surface and substantially coincident with the opening, wherein the front and rear substrates define a cavity at least partially filled with an electro-optic material.
