1. A display comprising:
- a display screen;
a transparent panel having a backside and an anti-glare front surface configured to diffuse ambient light; and
a bulk diffuser disposed between the display screen and the backside, wherein the bulk diffuser is bonded to at least one of the display screen and the transparent panel, and the bulk diffuser is configured to diffuse image light of the display.

Abstract
The present technique relates to a method and apparatus for providing a display image that is readable under high ambient light conditions. The technique includes the use of an anti-glare surface with a significant surface texture. This surface will accommodate the deposition of an effective thin film anti-reflective optical coating. The technique provides a diffusive layer configured to diffuse light within the diffusive layer, and provides a bond between display layers to enhance performance of the display.

16. A method for manufacturing a display having a display screen, the method comprising the acts of:
-
positioning a bulk diffuser between the display screen and an anti-glare front layer, wherein the bulk diffuser comprises a diffusive material configured to scatter light within the diffusive material; and
bonding the bulk diffuser to at least one of the anti-glare front layer and the display screen.

35. A method of forming a display, the method comprising the acts of:
-
flowing a bond material onto a side portion of a bond surface of a first layer of a plurality of display layers;
aligning a feature of a second layer of the plurality of display layers with a feature of the first layer to form a junction;
rotating and pressing the second layer onto the first layer starting from the junction and proceeding evenly across the second layer to form a substantially uniform bond layer of the bond material between the first and second layers; and
curing the bond material.
