COMPONENTS AND METHODS FOR USE IN ELECTRO-OPTIC DISPLAYS

摘要

A front plane laminate useful in the manufacture of electro-optic displays comprises, in order, a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer, a layer of an electro-optic medium in electrical contact with the electrically-conductive layer, an adhesive layer and a release sheet. This front plane laminate can be prepared as a continuous web, cut to size, the release sheet removed and the laminate laminated to a backplane to form a display. Methods for providing conductive vias through the electro-optic medium and for testing the front plane laminate are also described.

主权项

1. A method of testing an electro-optic medium, the method comprising:
disposing a layer of the electro-optic medium on a light-transmissive first electrically-conductive layer; disposing a second electrically-conductive layer on the opposed side of the layer of electro-optic medium from the first electrically-conductive layer; applying a potential difference between the first and second electrically-conductive layers, thereby forming an image on the medium; and observing the image thus formed.
