Gasket for liquid crystal light shutter displays
First Claim
1. In a liquid crystal light shutter, the combination of a layer of liquid crystal material sandwiched between transparent parallel plates, and a gasket surrounding said layer of liquid crystal material and bonding said plates together, said gasket being formed from an essentially thermoplastic phenoxy polymer resin which is neither reactive with nor soluble in the liquid crystal material and which will hold said parallel plates securely together while providing a seal around said layer of

Abstract
A gasket for liquid crystal light shutter displays, particularly field effect light shutter displays, comprising a high molecular weight thermoplastic resin, preferably a phenoxy polymer resin, which is not reactive with nor soluble in the liquid crystal material but which will bond two transparent plates together securely and restrict the flow of moisture or other contaminants from the atmosphere into a liquid crystal film disposed between the transparent plates.

8. In a liquid crystal light shutter, the combination of a layer of liquid crystal material sandwiched between transparent parallel plates, and a gasket surrounding said layer of liquid crystal material and bonding said plates together, said gasket being formed from an essentially thermoplastic phenoxy polymer resin which is neither reactive with nor soluble in the liquid crystal material and which will hold said parallel plates securely together while providing a seal around said layer of liquid crystal material, as is formed by silk-screening onto at least one of said transparent parallel plates a mixture comprising about 2 to 10 parts by weight of said resin, 0 to 10 parts by weight of a modifier, 5 to 30 parts by weight of a solvent, 0 to 1 part by weight fumed silica and 0 to 1% by weight of an organo-silicon compound, the transparent parallel plates being pressed together after application of said mixture in the form of a gasket with a layer of liquid crystal material between the transparent plates, whereupon said solvent is permitted to evaporate to form a bond between said plates with the liquid crystal material therebetween.
