EDGE PORT CELL-SPACE REDUCTION USING A SEAL-EMBEDDED SLIDE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053650 titled 'EDGE PORT CELL-SPACE REDUCTION USING A SEAL-EMBEDDED SLIDE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electro-optic assembly with two substrates defining a cavity containing an electro-optic medium, sealed by a seal and with a port reduction member.
- Electro-optic assembly with two substrates
- Substrates are parallel and spaced apart, defining a cavity
- Electro-optic medium is retained in the cavity by a seal
- Port reduction member defines a port between the substrates
Potential Applications
- Display technologies
- Optical switches
- Sensors
Problems Solved
- Providing a sealed cavity for an electro-optic medium
- Allowing for controlled access to the cavity through a port
Benefits
- Protection of the electro-optic medium
- Controlled access for maintenance or adjustments
- Versatile applications in various industries
Original Abstract Submitted
an electro-optic assembly includes a first substrate that has a first surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface. a second substrate has a third surface and a fourth surface that is opposite the third surface. the first and second substrates are disposed in a parallel and spaced apart relationship so as to define a cavity therebetween. the second and third surfaces face each other. a seal extends between the first and second substrates. an electro-optic medium is located in the cavity and is retained by the seal. a port is at least partially defined by a port reduction member that is located between the first substrate and the second substrate.
