1. A display panel comprising:
- a first light-transmitting plate having first and second surfaces;
a plurality of display devices of substantially uniform thickness and having a combined area less than the area of said first light-transmitting plate, each display device having first and second surfaces, said first surfaces of said display devices facing said first surface of said first light transmitting plate;
a first layer of bonding material in contact with said first surface of said first light-transmitting plate and said first surfaces of said display devices to hold said display devices in position relative to each other on said first light-transmitting plate;
a second light-transmitting plate having an area greater than said combined area of said plurality of display devices, and having first and second surfaces, said first surface facing said second surfaces of said display devices; and
a second layer of bonding material located between and in contact with said first surface of said second light-transmitting plate and said second surfaces of said display devices to hold said second light-transmitting plate in contact with said display devices.

23. A method of making a display panel comprising the steps of:
-
a. providing a first light transmitting plate having a first surface; b. placing a first layer of bonding material on said first surface of said first light-transmitting plate; c. locating a plurality of display devices having a combined area less than the area of said first light transmitting plate, each display device having first and second surfaces on said first layer of bonding material with said first surfaces of said display devices in contact with said first layer of bonding material; d. curing said first layer of bonding material to hold said display devices in position on said first layer of bonding material relative to said first light-transmitting plate; e. placing a second layer of bonding material in contact with said second surfaces of said display devices; f. providing a second light-transmitting plate having an area greater than said combined area of said plurality of display devices, and having a first surface; g. placing said first surface of said second light-transmitting plate in contact with said second layer of bonding material; and h. curing said second layer of bonding material. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
