Claim:
An electro-optic display comprising, in this order: a backplane comprising at least one electrode; a first layer of lamination adhesive; a layer of electro-optic material; a second layer of lamination adhesive; and a front substrate, wherein peripheral portions of the first and second layers of lamination adhesive extend outwardly beyond the edges of the layer of electro-optic material, the peripheral portions of the first and second layers of lamination adhesive contacting each other and thereby forming a seal around the layer of electro-optic material, the display further comprising a protective layer provided on the opposed side of the front substrate from the second layer of lamination adhesive, and wherein the backplane is larger in both dimensions than the first layer of lamination adhesive so that a peripheral portion of the backplane extends outwardly beyond the edges of the first layer of lamination adhesive, and a sealing material is provided extending from the peripheral portion of the backplane to the protective layer.
