Abstract:
1. A display device, comprising: a pair of light transmissive substrates space apart by a distance; an edge seal coupled to opposing surfaces of the pair of light transmissive substrates, the edge seal including an opening and surrounding a space between the pair of light transmissive substrates; an end seal closing the opening of the edge seal to encapsulate the space; a fluid in the space; a spacer, positioned within the space to maintain the distance between the pair of light transmissive substrates; a plurality of shutter-based light modulators positioned within the space defining a display region; and a wall portion formed on at least one of the opposing surfaces of the pair of light transmissive substrates at a position interrupting a shortest path between the opening of the end seal and the display region, the wall portion being fabricated from at least one material also included in the shutter-based light modulators and the spacer.
