Method for producing curved display

A method of manufacturing a curved display from a planar display module, the method comprising:

• masking the display module with a masking element such that portions of an upper substrate and a lower substrate of the display module are covered;
• etching the display module such that portions of the masked display module other than the masked portions are decreased in thickness to a predetermined thickness;
• removing the masking element from the display module after the etching;
• bending the display module into a curved plane;
• and
• attaching the bent display module to a protective element by using a double-sided tape, the protective element having a particular radius of curvature, the double-sided tape having a particular thickness,
• wherein a first adhesion surface of the double-sided tape is adhered to an etched surface of the bent display module, and a second adhesion surface of the double-sided tape is adhered to a surface of the protective element.
