Patent ID: 8786932

Claim:
A display device forming an image and having a viewer side and a back side, said display comprising: a transparent layer positioned at the viewer side of the display, wherein transparent layer has a top surface and a bottom surface; a coloring electrode positioned on the transparent layer bottom surface; said coloring electrode comprises a connected conductor system formed from one or more heterogeneous conductive layers, a coloring layer, with the proviso that the heterogeneous conductive layers are not positioned between the transparent layer bottom surface and the coloring layer; wherein said conductor heterogeneity comprises variations in one or more of: conductor material composition; conductor layer dimension; conductor layer pattern; conductor layer grid design, and combinations thereof; and a second electrode; a separator layer positioned between the coloring electrode and the second electrode; an electrolyte permeating throughout the display device; a back layer positioned at the back side of the display; a passivator layer; and, an opacifier layer, wherein each passivator layer and opacifier layer is ionically isolative and electronically isolative, wherein the opacifier layer is located beneath the transparent layer bottom surface and above one or more of the heterogeneous conductor layers, and wherein the passivator layer is located beneath one or more of the heterogeneous conductor layers and above the separator layer.
