Producing electrophoretic display with seamless front surface
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing comprising:
- providing a backplane comprising at least one electrode;
disposing a first layer of lamination adhesive above the backplane;
disposing a layer of electro-optic material above the first layer of lamination adhesive;
disposing a second layer of lamination adhesive above the layer of electro-optic material;
disposing a barrier layer, supported by a release film, above the second layer of lamination adhesive;
applying a sealing material to peripheral portions of the backplane to form an underfill edge seal between the backplane and the barrier layer;
removing the release film; and
disposing a front-surface material above the barrier layer.

Abstract
Methods and systems for producing an electro-optic display with a barrier layer for a seamless front surface of a user device. One method of manufacturing includes the following: providing a backplane comprising at least one electrode; disposing a first layer of lamination adhesive above the backplane; disposing a layer of electro-optic material above the first layer of lamination adhesive; disposing a second layer of lamination adhesive above the layer of electro-optic material; disposing a barrier layer, supported by a release film, above the second layer of lamination adhesive; applying a sealing material to peripheral portions of the backplane to form an underfill edge seal between the backplane and the barrier layer; removing the release film; and disposing a front-surface material above the barrier layer.

8. A method of manufacturing an electro-optic display, the method comprising:
-
providing a backplane comprising at least one electrode; disposing a first layer of lamination adhesive above the backplane; disposing a layer of electro-optic material above the first layer of lamination adhesive; disposing a second layer of lamination adhesive above the layer of electro-optic material; disposing a barrier layer above the second layer of lamination adhesive, the barrier layer being supported by a release film; applying a sealing material to peripheral portions of the backplane to form an underfill edge seal between the backplane and the barrier layer; removing the release film from the barrier layer; and disposing a front-surface material above the barrier layer after the removing the release film, wherein a length and a width of the front-surface material are, respectively, equal to or greater than a length and a width of the backplane, wherein a length and a width of the barrier layer are, respectively, greater than a length and a width of the layer of electro-optic material and are, respectively, less than the length and the width of the backplane, and wherein the length and the width of the barrier layer are, respectively, less than the length and the width of the backplane. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20)

16. A method manufacturing a display, the method comprising:
-
providing a backplane comprising at least one electrode; disposing above the backplane an electro-optic display, wherein the electro-optic display is smaller in width and length than the backplane to leave a peripheral portion of the backplane extending beyond edges of the electro-optic display; disposing a barrier layer above the electro-optic display, wherein barrier layer is greater in width and length than the electro-optic display to create an overhang; disposing under the overhang sealing material to create an underfill edge seal between the peripheral portion of the backplane and the overhang; and disposing a front-surface material above the barrier layer, wherein the front-surface material is equal to or greater in width and length than the backplane. - View Dependent Claims (17)
