  • Patent number: 9772487
    Abstract: Techniques and architectures involving fabricating a display panel, such as an electro-wetting display panel include laminating a first support plate and a second support plate together to form a laminated display panel. The laminated display panel includes an ultra-violet (UV) light curable seal disposed between the first support plate and the second support plate proximate to edges of the laminated display panel. After conveying the laminated display panel to a UV light curing station, pressurized air, gas or fluid is applied to the laminated display panel to produce a pressure on the UV light curable seal between the first support plate and the second support plate. While applying the pressurized air, gas or fluid, the laminated display panel is exposed to UV light to cure the seal.

  • Patent number: 9645385
    Abstract: An apparatus for fabricating electronic displays comprises a glass substrate that includes pixel arrays formed on the glass substrate. Individual pixels of the pixel arrays include pixel walls to retain a first fluid, such as oil. The pixel arrays may include an edge seal to retain a second fluid, such as an electrolyte solution, that overlays the pixel walls and the first fluid. The glass substrate also includes a hydrophobic strip formed on the glass substrate. A wettability between the first fluid and the hydrophobic strip is different from a wettability between the second fluid and the hydrophobic strip.

Individual pixels of the pixel arrays include pixel walls to retain a first fluid, such as oil. The pixel arrays may include an edge seal to retain a second fluid, such as an electrolyte solution, that overlays the pixel walls and the first fluid. A fluid dispenser includes slits that are configured to dispense the first fluid and the second fluid onto the glass substrate at a non-orthogonal angle with respect to the pixel arrays. First portions of the pixel walls extend above second portions of the pixel walls to impart a flow of the first fluid and the second fluid in a direction that the first fluid and the second fluid are dispensed by the fluid dispenser.
