Filed:

Aug 30, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/232481

Inventors:

Holly G. Gates - Sommerville MA
Ian Morrison - Acton MA
Owen W. Ozier - Cambridge MA
Benjamin M. Davis - San Francisco CA
Jonathan D. Albert - Philadelphia PA

Assignee:

E-Ink Corporation - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

G02B 2600

US Classification:

359296, 359267, 430 35, 345107, 345 84, 204478, 204485

Abstract:

A display overlay includes a contrast media layer and a photoconductive layer disposed between two electrodes. Light from an emissive display strikes the photoconductive layer and lowers the impedance of the photoconductive layer at the point at which the light is incident. Voltage applied to the electrodes creates an electric field that addresses the contrast media layer in locations of reduced impedance.

US Classification:

438 22, 438 29, 438 30, 345107, 359296

Abstract:

A front plane laminate useful in the manufacture of electro-optic displays comprises, in order, a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer, a layer of an electro-optic medium in electrical contact with the electrically-conductive layer, an adhesive layer and a release sheet. This front plane laminate can be prepared as a continuous web, cut to size, the release sheet removed and the laminate laminated to a backplane to form a display. Methods for providing conductive vias through the electro-optic medium and for testing the front plane laminate are also described.

International Classification:

B65D 43/02

US Classification:

220214, 2203591

Abstract:

A resealable closure for a container in which package integrity is indicated by a structure which connects the closure to a remaining portion of the container which must be broken in order to gain access to the contents of the container for a first time. The package integrity feature, in one form, includes a structure associated with the closure, wherein upon opening the closure for a first time, the structure stretches, increasing a length of the structure until the structure eventually breaks, leaving one or both residual ends of the broken structure rippled or curved upward from the remainder of the container. In one alternative form, the structure is associated with a pull tab of the sealing panel, which comprises the closure, whereby either the structure must be broken first, prior to pulling back the sealing panel, or while pulling back the sealing panel for a first time, the structure breaks, prior to gaining access to the contents therein. Advantageously, the package integrity feature is integrally formed with the closure and a remaining portion of the container. Integrity of the package is indicated by visually observing an intact breakable structure.
