Method of utilizing absorbing means in coupling substrate

Abstract

A method for using absorbing means for optically coupling substrates together to significantly decrease or eliminate water or like liquid buildup or condensation between the coupled substrates. Two clean substrates are initially provided. A means for absorbing, such a polyvinyl alcohol film, is applied to a first substrate surface. The substrates are then bonded together so that the first substrate surface is in facing relation to the second substrate, and then positioned parallel to each other and in close proximity to each other. A clear means for optically coupling is then de-gassed to remove any gas within the means for optically coupling. Then, a pressurized means for injecting is filled with the means for optically coupling. The means for injecting then introduces the means for optically coupling within the two substrates from a peripheral edge, thereby allowing the means for optically coupling to permeate throughout the volume between the two substrates. The means for optically coupling is allowed to cure, thereby adhering the substrates together.
