Display module reworkability

A method for cutting a target layer within a display module, comprising:

• positioning and binding a display module onto a linear slide, wherein the linear slide is configured to move along a track and is driven by a mass that is in free fall;
• adjusting a height of a cutting wire so that the cutting wire is positioned at the target layer;
• and
• causing the cutting wire to oscillate in order to cut the target layer within the display module.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to operate a cutting apparatus that is configured to cut a target layer within a display module, the cutting apparatus comprising:

• a platform, wherein the platform supports a track;
• a linear slide configured to both hold the display module in place and travel along the track, wherein movement of the linear slide is driven by a mass that is in free fall;
• and
• a cutting wire, wherein the cutting wire is positioned relative to the target layer and, via control of the processor, oscillates to cut the target layer as the linear slide moves along the track.
