Abstract

A panel fabricating method is provided. A first substrate having at least two first units arranged along a first direction is provided, wherein each first unit has a first display region and a terminal region sequentially arranged along the first direction. A second substrate having at least two second units arranged along the first direction is provided, wherein each second unit has a second display region and a removal region sequentially arranged along the first direction. The first substrate and the second substrate are stacked so that each first display region is opposite to each second display region and each terminal region is opposite to each removal region, so as to form a plurality of panels. The second substrate is cut in a discontinuous manner along the first direction to form at least one first discontinuous cut portion, wherein the first discontinuous cut portion is partially overlapped with the removal region.

Claims

1. A panel fabricating method, comprising:

providing a first substrate, wherein the first substrate has at least two first units arranged along a first direction, and each of the first units has a first display region and a terminal region sequentially arranged along the first direction;

providing a second substrate, wherein the second substrate has at least two second units arranged along the first direction, and each of the second units has a second display region and a removal region sequentially arranged along the first direction;

stacking the first substrate and the second substrate so that each of the first display regions is opposite to each of the second display regions and each of the terminal regions is opposite to each of the removal regions, so as to form at least two panels;

cutting the second substrate in a discontinuous manner along the first direction to form at least one first discontinuous cut portion, wherein the first discontinuous cut portion is partially overlapped with the removal region.

2. The panel fabricating method according to claim 1, wherein each of the panels has a display region disposed opposite to the first display region and the second display region, the adjoining terminal region, and the removal region opposite to the terminal region sequentially arranged along the first direction.

3. The panel fabricating method according to claim 1, wherein the first discontinuous cut portion has an extension length between 100 μ

m and 1,000 μ

m in the first direction.

4. The panel fabricating method according to claim 1, wherein the first direction is a horizontal direction X.

5. The panel fabricating method according to claim 1, wherein the first direction is a vertical direction Y.

6. The panel fabricating method according to claim 1 further comprising:

cutting the panel in a discontinuous manner along a second direction unparallel to the first direction to form at least one second discontinuous cut portion.

7. The panel fabricating method according to claim 6, wherein the second discontinuous cut portion has an extension length between 100 μ

m and 1,000 μ

m in the second direction.

8. The panel fabricating method according to claim 1, wherein the first substrate is an active device array substrate.

9. The panel fabricating method according to claim 1, wherein the second substrate is a color filter substrate.

10. A panel, fabricated by the panel fabricating method according to claim 1, wherein

a cutting surface of the first discontinuous cut portion has no rib mark.

11. A panel, fabricated by the panel fabricating method according to claim 6, wherein

a cutting surface of the first discontinuous cut portion and a cutting surface of the second discontinuous cut portion have no rib mark.

12. A display panel structure, comprising:

a first substrate, having a display region, a terminal region and a first side;

a second substrate, stacked with the first substrate, and having a second side aligned with the first side;

wherein only a part of the second side has rib marks.

13. The display panel structure according to claim 12, wherein the first substrate is an active device array substrate.

14. The display panel structure according to claim 13, wherein the active device array substrate comprises:

a scan line and a data line;
