Abstract
A structure for encapsulating a liquid crystal display device is disclosed. Openings are formed in a second material layer on a first substrate, exposing an underlying first material layer. The openings are substantially distributed over the perimeter of the first substrate. A sealant is placed in the openings, forming a sealant region for attachment of a second substrate to the first substrate. The sealant region is substantially perpendicular to a direction of length of the openings. In addition, the sealant contacts the first material layer and the second material layer through the openings.

A structure for encapsulating a liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a first material layer disposed on the first substrate;
- a second material layer disposed on the first material layer;
- a plurality of parallel openings formed in the second material layer to expose the underlying first material layer, wherein the openings are substantially distributed over the perimeter of the first substrate;
- and
- a sealant, disposed in the openings, forming a sealant region for attachment of a second substrate to the first substrate, wherein the sealant region is substantially perpendicular to a direction of length of the openings;
- wherein the sealant is adapted to contact the first material layer and the second material layer through the openings;
- wherein the sealant has substantially flat contact surfaces with the first and the second material layers.
