Glass strip as a seal

An emissive display system, comprising:

• an electro-optic device comprising:
• a first substantially transparent substrate having first and second surfaces, 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, wherein at least one of the third and fourth surfaces comprises a second electrically conductive layer;
• a primary seal disposed around perimeter portions the first and second substrates, the primary seal comprising:
• a first epoxy layer and a second epoxy layer, and
• a unitary glass gasket disposed between the first and second epoxy layers, wherein the seal and the second and third surfaces define a substantially hermetic cavity;
• and
• 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;
• and
• a substantially transparent light emitting display operably connected to the electro-optic device, wherein the electro-optic device is converted to the darkened state when the light emitting display is emitting light.

• a primary seal disposed around perimeter portions of the second and third surfaces comprising:
• a first epoxy layer and a second epoxy layer, and
• a glass portion disposed between the first and second epoxy layers, the glass portion configured to maintain a predetermined cell spacing between the first and second substrates, wherein the seal and the second and third surfaces define a cavity;
• and
• 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;
• and
• a substantially transparent light emitting display operably coupled to the electro-optic device, wherein the light emitting display is configured to emit light in an ON condition, and further wherein the electro-optic device is in the darkened state when the light emitting display is emitting light.
