1. An electro-optic display comprising, in this order:
- a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer;
a layer of electro-optic material covering part of the electrically-conductive layer, the layer of electro-optic material not covering a tab portion of the electrically-conductive layer;
an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer not covering the tab portion of the electrically-conductive layer;
a backplane comprising at least one pixel electrode disposed adjacent the layer of electro-optic material, and a contact pad in electrical contact with the tab portion of the electrically-conductive layer.

Abstract
A front plane laminate useful in the manufacture of electro-optic displays comprises, in order, a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer, a layer of an electro-optic medium in electrical contact with the electrically-conductive layer, an adhesive layer and a release sheet. This front plane laminate can be prepared as a continuous web, cut to size, the release sheet removed and the laminate laminated to a backplane to form a display. Methods for providing conductive vias through the electro-optic medium and for testing the front plane laminate are also described.

12. An electro-optic display comprising:
-
a backplane comprising at least one pixel electrode; a layer of an electro-optic material disposed adjacent the pixel electrode; a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer disposed on the opposed side of the layer of electro-optic material from the backplane; a front substrate disposed on the opposed side of the light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer from the layer of electro-optic material, the front substrate supporting the light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer; a protective and/or barrier layer disposed on the opposed side of the front substrate from the light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer; a sealing material for preventing ingress of material from the environment into the layer of electro-optic material, the sealing material extending between the backplane and at least one of the light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer, front substrate and protective and/or baffler layer and; a dam member disposed between the sealing material and the layer of electro-optic material. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
