Abstract

A laminate (100) comprising a solid electro-optic medium (106) and an electrically conductive layer (104) is tested by passing it over a pair of electrodes (122, 124) at different potentials, with the electrically conductive layer (104) lying on the opposed side of the electro-optic medium (106) from the electrodes (122, 124). A film (100; 200) which can be tested by this method, and which is useful in the manufacture of electro-optic displays, comprises a layer of a solid electro-optic medium and a release sheet comprising an electrically conductive layer.
