Electro-optic displays

A process for forming an electro-optic display, the process comprising:

• providing an article of manufacture comprising a layer of a solid electro-optic medium having first and second surfaces on opposed sides thereof, a first adhesive layer on the first surface of the layer of solid electro-optic medium, a release sheet disposed on the opposed side of the first adhesive layer from the layer of solid electro-optic medium;
• and a second adhesive layer on the second surface of the layer of solid electro-optic medium;
• laminating the article to a front substrate via the second adhesive layer, thereby forming a front subassembly;
• removing the release sheet from the front subassembly;
• and
• laminating the front subassembly via the first adhesive layer to a backplane comprising at least one electrode, thereby forming the electro-optic display.

An article of manufacture comprising:

• a layer of a solid electro-optic medium having first and second surfaces on opposed sides thereof, the electro-optic medium being an electrophoretic medium comprising a suspending fluid and a plurality of electrically charged particles suspending in the suspending fluid and capable of moving therethrough on application of an electric field to the suspending fluid, wherein the suspending fluid and the plurality of electrically charged particles are present as a plurality of discrete droplets and a continuous phase of polymeric material surrounds the droplets;
• a first release sheet in contact with the first surface of the layer of solid electro-optic medium;
• and
• a second release sheet in contact with the second surface of the layer of solid electro-optic medium.

An article of manufacture comprising:

• a layer of a solid electro-optic medium having first and second surfaces on opposed sides thereof, wherein the electro-optic medium is a rotating bichromal member medium or an electrochromic medium;
• a first release sheet in contact with the first surface of the layer of solid electro-optic medium;
• and
• a second release sheet in contact with the second surface of the layer of solid electro-optic medium.
