Abstract
Methods for forming patterned displays including separated portions of encapsulated electrophoretic media disposed between contiguous light-transmissive electrodes. The resulting patterned electrophoretic display allows a viewer to see through the gaps between the portions of encapsulated electrophoretic media, thereby allowing the viewer to visualize surfaces or objects behind the electrophoretic display.
