Electrode structures for electro-optic displays

A front plane laminate comprising in order:

• a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer;
• a layer of a solid electro-optic medium in electrical contact with the electrically-conductive layer;
• an adhesive layer;
• and
• a release sheet,
• the front plane laminate further comprising at least 10 micromoles per square meter of the layer of solid electro-optic medium of at least one compound having an oxidation potential more negative that about 150 mV with respect to a standard hydrogen electrode, as measured at pH 8, wherein the compound having the oxidation potential comprises one or more compounds of Formulae I below:
• wherein, in Formulae I, R1-R4 may be substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl groups, or heteroatomic groups containing hetero atoms of Groups V-VII of the periodic table, and substituents R1 and R2 (taken together), and/or R3 and R4, may form a ring.

An inverted front plane laminate comprising, in order:

• at least one of a light-transmissive protective layer and a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer;
• an adhesive layer;
• a layer of a solid electro-optic medium;
• and
• a release sheet,
• the inverted front plane laminate further comprising at least 10 micromoles per square meter of the layer of solid electro-optic medium of at least one compound having an oxidation potential more negative that about 150 mV with respect to a standard hydrogen electrode, as measured at pH 8, wherein the compound having the oxidation potential comprises one or more compounds of Formulae I below:
• wherein, in Formulae I, R1-R4 may be substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl groups, or heteroatomic groups containing hetero atoms of Groups V-VII of the periodic table, and substituents R1 and R2 (taken together), and/or R3 and R4, may form a ring.
