Electro-optic display and lamination adhesive for use therein

An electro-optic display comprising a layer of a solid electro-optic material, at least one electrode disposed adjacent the layer of electro-optic material, and a layer of a lamination adhesive interposed between the electro-optic material and the electrode, the lamination adhesive having a higher electrical conductivity in a direction perpendicular to the layer of lamination adhesive than in the plane of the layer, the lamination adhesive having a conductivity of less than about 10−10 S/cm. in the plane of the adhesive layer and a conductivity greater than about 10−9 S/cm. perpendicular to this plane.

An electro-optic display comprising a layer of a solid electro-optic material, at least one electrode disposed adjacent the layer of electro-optic material, and a layer of a lamination adhesive interposed between the electro-optic material and the electrode, the lamination adhesive having a higher electrical conductivity in a direction perpendicular to the layer of lamination adhesive than in the plane of the layer, the lamination adhesive comprising a plurality of conductive particles dispersed in a substantially non-conductive matrix, the conductive particles having a conductivity greater than about 10−9 S/cm. and a diameter not greater than about one-tenth of the thickness of the layer of lamination adhesive.
