Abstract:
1. A process for curing an edge sealing material in an electro-optic display, the display comprising: a backplane; a layer of a solid electro-optic material disposed adjacent the backplane; and a protective layer capable of absorbing ultra-violet radiation and disposed on the opposed side of the layer of solid electro-optic material from the backplane, the protective layer extending beyond the edge of the layer of electro-optic material, thereby defining a peripheral region in which a gap exists between the protective layer and the backplane; the process comprising: placing in the gap an uncured edge sealing material curable by radiation transmitted by the protective layer; and transmitting the radiation effective to cure the edge sealing material through the protective layer, thereby curing the edge sealing material and forming an edge seal in the gap.
