1. A display device comprising:
- a housing having a first member and a first electrode and a second member and a second electrode in which the first member and first electrode and the second member and second electrode are configured to define a cavity for holding a display medium between the first and second electrodes;
a fluid exchange device in fluid communication with said cavity by a through hole in said housing, said fluid exchange device including a compressible sealing member to make a fluid-tight seal with said housing.

Abstract
A display device is described which includes a fluid exchange device mated to the display housing. The fluid exchange device makes a fluid tight seal with the display housing and includes a sealing member which may be perforated by a conduit. The conduit provides for the flow of fluids into and away from a cavity within the display device that is used to contain a display medium. The fluid exchange device provides a fluid tight seal with the housing, and the sealing member reseals itself upon withdrawal of the conduit from the sealing member.
