Abstract

We have developed tight bonding of plastic LCD with new rigid spacer. For tight bonding of two plastic substrates, we designed structures to collect UV or thermal epoxy placed on the top of rigid spacer spontaneously by capillary effect. We confirmed that tight bonded plastic LCD has a good adhesion without induced defects and a high mechanical stability against the various external deformations. This method can be applicable to the fabrication of large plastic LCDs using stamping process.
