Abstract
A liquid crystal cell article includes a layer of liquid crystal material disposed between a first polymeric substrate and a second polymeric substrate. The first polymeric substrate includes a plurality of first parallel conductive traces extending in a first direction and disposed between the layer of liquid crystal material and the first substrate, and a first release liner disposed on the first polymeric substrate. The second polymeric substrate includes a plurality of second parallel conductive traces extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and disposed between the layer of liquid crystal material and the second substrate. The first polymeric substrate further includes a removable portion that is separable from the first polymeric substrate with the first release liner to expose a portion of the layer of liquid crystal material or second parallel conductive traces.
