An electrical connection between the backplane and the light-transmissive front electrode of an electrowetting device is provided by forming an aperture through the top front electrode coupled and a substrate coupled thereto and subsequently introducing a flowable, electrically-conductive material into the aperture. The flowable, electrically-conductive material provides an electrical contact between the light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer and the backplane.

Method of forming a top plane connection in an electro-optic device

An electrical connection between the backplane and the light-transmissive front electrode of an electro-optic display is provided by forming an aperture through the top front electrode coupled and a substrate coupled thereto and subsequently introducing a flowable, electrically-conductive material into the aperture. The flowable, electrically-conductive material provides an electrical contact between the light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer and the backplane.

Electrical connection between the backplane and the front electrode of an electro-optic display is provided by forming a front plane laminate () comprising, in order, a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer (), a layer of electro-optic material (), and a layer of lamination adhesive (); forming an aperture () through all three layers of the front plane laminate (); and introducing a flowable, electrically-conductive material () into the aperture (), the flowable, electrically-conductive material being in electrical contact with the light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer () and extending through the adhesive layer ().

Electro-optic display with measurement aperture

A sub-assembly for use in an electro-optic display, the sub-assembly comprising an electrically non-conductive substrate, a lamination adhesive layer, a light-transmissive electrically-conductive ceramic layer, and a light-transmissive non-ceramic electrically-conductive layer positioned between the light transmissive electrically-conductive ceramic layer and the lamination adhesive layer.

Electrode structures for electro-optic displays

Electrode sub-assemblies for use in electro-optic displays comprise an electrically non-conductive substrate, for example poly(ethylene terephthalate); a light-transmissive electrically-conductive ceramic layer, for example indium tin oxide; and a light-transmissive non-ceramic electrically-conductive layer, for example PEDOT:PSS.
