COMPONENTS AND METHODS FOR USE IN ELECTRO-OPTIC DISPLAYS

摘要

A sub-assembly for use in forming an electro-optic display comprises (in this order) a light-transmissive substrate ( 120 ); discrete areas ( 204 ) of electro-optic material separated by gutter areas ( 205 ) essentially free from the electro-optic material; and an adhesive layer ( 122 ) and/or a release layer ( 124 ) peelable from the sub-assembly. A second sub-assembly comprises (in this order) a peelable release sheet ( 102 ); discrete areas of electro-optic material ( 204 ) separated by gutter areas ( 205 ) essentially free from the electro-optic material, and an adhesive layer ( 206 ) and/or a peelable release layer ( 208 ). Processes for producing these sub-assemblies and for using them to form electro-optic displays are also described.
