Electro-optic displays, and materials and methods for production thereof
First Claim
1. A process for the production of an article of manufacture useful in the production of an electro-optic display, the process comprising:
- providing an electro-optic sub-assembly comprising a layer of electro-optic medium;
providing an adhesive sub-assembly comprising an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer being larger in at least one dimension than the layer of electro-optic medium, the adhesive layer having at least one aperture extending therethrough; and
adhering the adhesive sub-assembly to the electro-optic sub-assembly so that a part of the adhesive layer adheres to the layer of electro-optic medium but the at least one aperture in the adhesive layer is spaced from the layer of electro-optic medium.

Abstract
A first sub-assembly useful in an electro-optic display is produced by: providing an electro-optic sub-assembly comprising a layer of electro-optic medium; providing an adhesive sub-assembly comprising an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer being larger than the layer of electro-optic medium and having one or more apertures; adhering the adhesive sub-assembly to the electro-optic sub-assembly so that a part of the adhesive layer adheres to the layer of electro-optic medium but the aperture(s) are spaced from the layer of electro-optic medium. A second sub-assembly comprises a conductive layer and a layer of electro-optic medium. The conductive layer has a main section covered by the electro-optic medium, an exposed section free from the electro-optic medium, and a weak section connecting the main section and the exposed section, so that the exposed section can be manipulated to rupture the weak section, thus separating the exposed section from the main section without substantial damage.
