Method for sealing flat panel displays and bonding optical component parts
First Claim
1. A method of laminating two panels of a flat panel display, the method comprising:
- providing a first panel with an inner surface partially coated with a first conductive layer;
providing a second panel with an inner surface partially coated with second conductive layer;
applying adhesive directly to at least one of the first and second conductive layers;
laminating the first panel to the second panel by aligning the first and second conductive layers with the adhesive sandwiched therebetween to adhere the first conductive layer to the second conductive layer with the adhesive.

Abstract
A method for assembling a flat panel display is disclosed whereby the conductive layers disposed on the inside surfaces of the two panels to be laminated are connected or laminated together with a pressure-sensitive adhesive or a latent-cure adhesive. Protective insulating layers on the conductive layers disposed on the inside surfaces of the panels have been eliminated. The adhesive connecting the opposing conductive layers serves as a suitable insulating layer. An improved flat panel display whereby the conductive layers on opposing panels is connected with either a latent-cure adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive is also disclosed. Methods of laminating panels of EL displays and methods of laminating substrates of optoelectronic devices are also disclosed.
