Abstract
An electro-optic display comprises a substrate (100), non-linear devices (102) disposed substantially in one plane on the substrate (100), pixel electrodes (106) connected to the non-linear devices (102), an electro-optic medium (110) and a common electrode (112) on the opposed side of the electro-optic medium (110) from the pixel electrodes (106). The moduli of the various parts of the display are arranged so that, when the display is curved, the neutral axis or neutral plane lies substantially in the plane of the non-linear devices (102).
Claims16
An electro-optic display comprising:
- a substrate;
- a plurality of non-linear devices disposed substantially in one plane on the substrate;
- a plurality of pixel electrodes in electrical communication with the non-linear devices;
- a layer of electro-optic medium;
- and
- a common electrode on the opposed side of the layer of electro-optic medium from the pixel electrodes,
- wherein the moduli of the various parts of the display are such that, when the display is curved, the neutral axis or neutral plane lies substantially in the plane of the non-linear devices.
