Abstract

An electro-optic element includes a first substrate that has a first surface and a second surface substantially opposite the first surface. A second substrate has a third surface and a fourth surface substantially opposite the third surface. The second substrate is disposed in a spaced apart manner relative the first substrate such that the second and third surfaces face one another. A plurality of spacer beads are disposed between the second surface and the third surface. The plurality of spacer beads are formed of a material that is soluble in propylene carbonate and does not contain salt or polymers. A first substantially transparent electrode is associated with the second surface and a second substantially transparent electrode is associated with the third surface. An electro-optic medium contains propylene carbonate disposed between the first and second substantially transparent electrodes.
