Abstract:
An electro-optic medium is disclosed including a continuous phase comprising a binder and a discontinuous phase comprising electro-optic material. The binder may include one or more elastomers having a Young's modulus less than 25 MPa. The electro-optic material may include capsules that encapsulate various kinds of materials capable of switching optical states, such as a plurality of charged particles dispersed in a suspending fluid and capable of moving upon application of an electric field to the suspending fluid. The electro-optic medium may be incorporated into a laminated flexible electro-optic display having an outer light-transmissive protective layer and conductive material on either side of the electro-optic medium. The conductive material on at least one side of the electro-optic medium may also be light-transmissive. The opposing side of the display relative to the outer protective layer may also include a substrate.
