A custom made liquid crystal display is formed from a pre-manufactured liquid crystal display by removing an excess region. The drive card is cut along the line X—X and the excess TABs are disconnected from the conductive layer. Optionally, a narrow strip is removed from each of the polarizing substrates between the lines to expose their associated glass plates. A groove is then cut into the exposed surface of each of the glass plates. Each glass plate is then fractured along the base of its groove so that the excess region is detached from the operative region. The cut edges of the glass plates are then sealed by applying a bead of ultra-violet curing adhesive. The processes of removing an excess region by cutting the glass plates with a laser or by freezing the liquid crystal between the glass-plates and machining through the glass plates are also described.
A method for changing the physical shape of an electronic display, wherein the display comprises a front plate, a back plate, electrical circuits for operating the display, and image-generating medium sealed in an area between the plates, the method comprising the steps of:
A method for changing the physical shape of an electronic display, wherein the display comprises a front plate, a back plate, a perimeter seal spacing apart the plates, and electrical circuits for operating the display, and wherein image-generating medium is sealed in an area between the plates and within the borders of the perimeter seal, the method comprising the steps of:
A method for changing the physical shape of an electronic display, wherein the display comprises a front plate, a back plate, a perimeter seal spacing apart the plates, and electrical circuits for operating the display, and wherein image-generating medium is sealed in an area between the plates and within the borders of the perimeter seal, the method comprising the steps of:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display having a liquid crystal sealed between first and second substantially parallely spaced transparent plates which form an operative area of the display, comprising removing an excess region of a pre-manufactured liquid crystal display by cutting the first and second plates to isolate the excess region of the first and second plates and to expose cut edges along the operative areas of the first and second plates.
A method of manufacturing an operative liquid crystal display, comprising:
A method of re-sizing a pre-manufactured liquid crystal display with an operable visible display portion, comprising the steps of:
