Patent ID: 8068272

Claim:
A process for forming an electro-optic display comprising: providing a backplane comprising at least one pixel electrode; providing a front sub-assembly comprising, in order, an adhesive layer, a layer of electro-optic material and at least one support layer, the support layer being larger than the layer of electro-optic material and the adhesive layer so as to leave a peripheral area of the support layer exposed around the layer of electro-optic material; dispensing a curable material on to one of the backplane and the peripheral area of the support member, and curing the curable material to form a dam member; laminating the adhesive layer of the front sub-assembly to the backplane, and thereby causing the dam member to extend between the backplane and the peripheral area of the support layer; and dispensing a sealing material adjacent the dam member to form a seal extending between the backplane and the peripheral area of the support layer.
