Abstract
A process for producing a color electro-optic display uses an electro-optic sub-assembly comprising an electro-optic layer and a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer. This sub-assembly is laminated to a backplane comprising a plurality of electrodes with the electro-optic layer disposed between the backplane and the electrically-conductive layer. A flowable material is placed over the sub-assembly and a color filter array is placed over the electrically-conductive layer and aligned with the electrodes of the backplane to form the color electro-optic display.
Claims9
A process for producing a color electro-optic display, the process comprising:
- providing an electro-optic sub-assembly comprising an electro-optic layer and a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer;
- laminating the electro-optic sub-assembly to a backplane comprising a plurality of electrodes such that the electro-optic layer is disposed between the backplane and the electrically-conductive layer;
- disposing a flowable material over the electrically-conductive layer;
- and
- disposing a color filter array over the electrically-conductive layer and aligning the color filter array with the electrodes of the backplane to form the color electro-optic display,
- wherein the dispositions of the flowable material and the color filter array over the electrically-conductive layer are effected by disposing a plurality of spacers on the electrically-conductive layer, disposing the color filter array on the plurality of spacers, introducing a curable polymer between the electrically-conductive layer and the color filter array, and curing the curable polymer.

- laminating the electro-optic sub-assembly to a backplane comprising a plurality of electrodes such that the electro-optic layer is disposed between the backplane and the electrically-conductive layer;
- disposing a flowable material over the electrically-conductive layer;
- and
- disposing a color filter array over the electrically-conductive layer and aligning the color filter array with the electrodes of the backplane to form the color electro-optic display,
- wherein the flowable material is a curable polymer dispensed on to the electrically-conductive layer and, after the color filter array has been disposed over the curable polymer and aligned, the curable polymer is cured to secure the color filter array to the electrically-conductive layer.
