Electro-optic displays, and materials and methods for production thereof
First Claim
1. A process for the production of an electro-optic display, the process comprising:
- forming a sub-assembly comprising in order, a front sheet;
a layer of electro-optic medium; and
an adhesive layer;
forming an aperture through the front sheet and adhesive layer;
securing the sub-assembly to a backplane comprising at least one pixel electrode; and
mounting at least one electronic circuit device on the backplane, the electronic circuit device extending through the aperture in the sub-assembly.

Abstract
An electro-optic display is produced using a sub-assembly comprising a front sheet, an electro-optic medium; and an adhesive layer. An aperture is formed through the adhesive layer where the adhesive layer is not covered by the electro-optic medium, and the sub-assembly is adhered to a backplane having a co-operating member with the aperture engaged with a co-operating member, thus locating the sub-assembly relative to the backplane. In another form of electro-optic display, a chip extends through an aperture in the electro-optic medium and adhesive layer. In a third form, the aforementioned sub-assembly is secured to a backplane and then a cut is made through both backplane and sub-assembly to provide an aligned edge.
