Electro-optic display with edge seal

An electro-optic display comprising, in this order:

• a backplane comprising at least one electrode;
• a layer of electro-optic material;
• a layer of lamination adhesive;
• and
• a front substrate,
• the backplane and the front substrate being larger in both dimensions that the layer of electro-optic material and the layer of lamination adhesive, so that peripheral portions of the backplane and the front substrate extend outwardly beyond the edges of the layer of electro-optic material and the layer of lamination adhesive,
• the display further comprising a sealing material for preventing ingress of material from the environment into the electro-optic material, the sealing material extending from the peripheral portion of the backplane to the peripheral portion of the front substrate and overlapping a peripheral portion of the electro-optic material layer, whereby the central portion of the electro-optic material layer remains uncovered by the sealing material.
