1. An electro-optic display comprising:
- a backplane;
a layer of electro-optic material disposed adjacent the backplane;
a protective layer disposed on the opposed side of the layer of electro-optic material from the backplane;
a sealing layer of a metal contacting the backplane and the protective layer and extending therebetween, thus sealing the layer of electro-optic material from the outside environment,the protective layer comprising at least one electrode which is not in electrical contact with the metal sealing layer anda layer of insulating material disposed between the metal sealing layer and the at least one electrode.
