ELECTRO-OPTIC DEVICE

摘要

An emissive display system includes an electro-optic device having a first substantially transparent substrate including first and second surfaces, at least one of which includes a first electrically conductive layer. A second substantially transparent substrate includes third and fourth surfaces, at least one of which includes a second electrically conductive layer. A primary seal is disposed around perimeter portions of the first and second substrates, which define a cavity therebetween. An electro-optic medium is disposed in the cavity and is variably transmissive such that the electro-optic device is operable between substantially clear and darkened states. A plurality of beads are disposed in a central portion of the cavity and are movable to a perimeter portion of the cavity. A substantially transparent light emitting display is disposed adjacent to the electro-optic device, which is in the darkened state when the light emitting display is emitting light.

1. An emissive display system, comprising:
an electro-optic device comprising:
a first substantially transparent substrate having first and second surfaces disposed on opposite sides thereof, wherein at least one of the first and second surfaces comprises a first electrically conductive layer;a second substantially transparent substrate having third and fourth surfaces disposed on opposite sides thereof, wherein at least one of the third and fourth surfaces comprises a second electrically conductive layer;a primary seal disposed around perimeter portions of the first and second substrates, wherein the seal and the first and second substrates define a cavity therebetween;an electro-optic medium disposed in the cavity, the electro-optic medium being variably transmissive such that the electro-optic device is operable between substantially clear and darkened states;a plurality of beads disposed in a central portion of the cavity, the plurality of beads being configured to maintain a cell spacing between the first and second substrates, wherein the plurality of beads are movable to a perimeter portion of the cavity; and a substantially transparent light emitting display disposed adjacent to the electro-optic device, wherein the electro-optic device is in the darkened state when the light emitting display is emitting light.
