The method further includes providing a touch panel display, where providing the touch panel display comprises applying a cover to the first adhesive layer, and applying a display panel to the second adhesive layer. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: providing a touch panel interposer, including: providing a touch panel device; applying a first adhesive layer to a cover side of the touch panel device; and applying a second adhesive layer to a display side of the touch panel device; and providing a touch panel display, including: applying a cover to the first adhesive layer; and applying a display panel to the second adhesive layer. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: providing the touch panel interposer further comprises: applying a first protective cover to the first adhesive layer; and applying a second protective cover to the second adhesive layer; and providing the touch panel display further comprises: removing the first protective cover from the first adhesive layer of the touch panel interposer prior to applying the cover to the first adhesive layer; and removing the second protective cover from the second adhesive layer of the touch panel interposer prior to applying the display panel to the second adhesive layer. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: applying the second adhesive layer to the display side of the touch panel device further comprises: applying a barrier adhesive to a bezel of the touch panel device; and applying a fill adhesive to a display portion of the touch panel device; and the display panel is direct bonded to the touch panel device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: applying the second adhesive layer to the display side of the touch panel device further comprises: applying a barrier adhesive to a bezel of the touch panel device; and the display panel is air-gap bonded to the touch panel device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: at least one of the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer is a pressure sensitive adhesive film; and providing the touch panel display further comprises: applying a pressure treatment to the touch panel. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: at least one of the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer is a gel adhesive; and providing the touch panel display further comprises: applying a curing treatment to the touch panel. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein applying the curing treatment further comprises: exposing the touch panel display to an ultra-violet light source. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein applying the curing treatment further comprises: exposing the touch panel display to temperature treatment. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein applying the curing treatment further comprises: exposing the touch panel display in an autoclave. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the touch panel device comprises at least one of a projected capacitive panel device, a mutual capacitive panel device, and a self capacitive panel device. ### Claim 11 A touch panel display comprising: a touch panel interposer including: a touch panel device; a first adhesive layer bonded to a cover side of the touch panel device; and a second adhesive layer bonded to a display side of the touch panel device; a cover bonded to the first adhesive layer; and a display panel bonded to the second adhesive layer. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The touch panel display of claim 11, wherein: the second adhesive layer further comprises: a barrier adhesive bonded to a bezel of the touch panel device; and a fill adhesive bonded to a display portion of the touch panel device; and the display panel is direct bonded to the touch panel device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The touch panel display of claim 11, wherein: the second adhesive layer further comprises a barrier adhesive bonded to a bezel of the touch panel device; and the display panel is air-gap bonded to the touch panel device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The touch panel display of claim 11, wherein at least one of the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer is a pressure sensitive adhesive film. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The touch panel display of claim 11, wherein at least one of the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer is a gel adhesive. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The touch panel display of claim 11, wherein the touch panel device comprises at least one of a projected capacitive panel device, a mutual capacitive panel device, and a self capacitive panel device. ### Claim 17 A method of providing a touch panel interposer comprising: providing a touch panel device; applying a first adhesive layer to a cover side of the touch panel device; and applying a second adhesive layer to a display side of the touch panel device. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, further comprising: applying a first protective cover to the first adhesive layer; and applying a second protective cover to the second adhesive layer. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, wherein applying the second adhesive layer to the display side of the touch panel device further comprises: applying a barrier adhesive to a bezel of the touch panel device; and applying a fill adhesive to a display portion of the touch panel device. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, wherein applying the second adhesive layer to the display side of the touch panel device further comprises: applying a barrier adhesive to a bezel of the touch panel device.
