Patent ID: 6902454

Claim:
A process for laminating a flexible electrically addressable display, said process comprising: providing a flexible electrically addressable liquid crystal display having first and second surfaces; placing a protective sheet over at least one of said first and second surfaces; and subjecting said protective sheet to conditions of temperature and pressure effective to cause said protective sheet to adhere to said surface, thereby forming a laminate comprising said electrically addressable liquid crystal display wherein said flexible, electrically addressable liquid crystal display comprises: a flexible substrate; a transparent, first electrically conductive layer disposed on said substrate; a light modulating layer comprising liquid crystalline material and a polymeric binder disposed on said electrically conductive layer; a patterned layer comprising areas of opaque electrically conductive material disposed on said light modulating layer; a dielectric layer disposed on said patterned layer, said dielectric layer comprising contact apertures to said areas of opaque electrically conductive material and to said first electrically conductive layer; and a second electrically conductive layer overlying said dielectric layer and extending into said contact apertures to said areas of opaque electrically conductive material and to said first electrically conductive layer.
