Method of manufacturing a flat panel display

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a flat display is disclosed. First, a first substrate having a first thickness is provided. The first substrate includes a first display area and a first pad area, and a pad electrode is formed in the first pad area and a passivation layer is formed on the pad electrode. Next, a second substrate having a second thickness is provided. The second substrate includes a second display area and a second pad area, the second display area is opposite to the first display area, and the second pad area is opposite to the first pad area. The first substrate and the second substrate are then sealed by a sealing material. After removing the second pad area of the second substrate, the passivation layer on the first pad area is then removed to expose the pad electrode. At the same time, the thickness of the first substrate is reduced from the first thickness to the third thickness.
