Coatable conductive layer
First Claim
1. A method for making a display comprising:
- providing a substrate;
coating light-modulating material to form a light-modulating layer;
coating light-absorbing material over the light-modulating layer to form a dark layer; and
fluid coating electrically-conductive material in a solvent or dispersing medium over the dark layer to form a fluid-coated, electrically-conductive, layer, the dark layer being between the light-modulating layer and fluid-coated, electrically-conductive layer, wherein the fluid-coated, electrically-conductive layer has sufficient conductivity to induce an electric field strong enough to change an optical state of the light-modulating material,wherein coating the light-modulating material, coating the light-absorbing material and fluid coating the electrically-conductive material are performed simultaneously.

Abstract
The invention relates to a patternable coatable electrically conductive layer comprising a fluid-coated electrically conductive material, wherein the fluid-coated electrically conductive material has sufficient conductivity to induce an electric field strong enough to change the optical state of a light modulating material and a display comprising a substrate, at least one patternable coatable electrically conductive layer comprising a fluid-coated electrically conductive material, wherein said fluid coated electrically conductive material has sufficient conductivity to induce an electric field strong enough to change the optical state of a light modulating material which has a first and a second field-switched stable optical state, and an imaging layer comprising said light modulating material disposed over said at least one patternable fluid-coated electrically conductive layer. The invention also relates to a method for making a coatable electrically conductive layer and a method for making a display with a coatable electrically conductive layer.
