Liquid crystal display assembly and method for reducing residual stresses
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display assembly comprising:
- a display device including;
a die having a pixel array;
a transparent plate;
an adhesive seal adhesively coupling the die to-the transparent plate, said adhesive seal, said transparent plate, and said die cooperating to define a sealed volume therebetween encompassing the pixel array; and
a liquid crystal material disposed within the sealed volume; and
a support substrate having said transparent plate cantilever mounted thereto for support of said display device by said support substrate such that said die is substantially insulated from transmission of residual stresses induced by or acting upon said support substrate.

Abstract
Apparatus are disclosed for Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) assemblies having a display device that is attached to a support substrate. The display device includes a die having a pixel array, and a transparent plate positioned over the die. An adhesive seal couples the die to the transparent plate. The seal together with the transparent plate and the die cooperate to define a sealed volume therebetween encompassing the pixel array. A liquid crystal material is disposed within the sealed volume. A support substrate is coupled to the transparent plate for support of the display device such that the die is substantially insulated from transmission of residual stresses induced by or acting upon the support substrate. Methods of reducing residual stresses in LCD assemblies are also provided.

6. A liquid crystal display assembly comprising:
-
a die having a pixel array, a top surface and an opposite undersurface;
a transparent plate;
an adhesive seal adhesively coupling the die to the transparent plate such that a ledge portion thereof extends beyond a peripheral edge portion of said die and said adhesive seal, said transparent plate, said adhesive seal, and said top surface of the die cooperating to define a sealed volume encompassing the pixel array;
a liquid crystal material disposed within the sealed volume; and
a relatively rigid support substrate mounted to said transparent plate in a manner such that said die remains substantially free of direct contact with said relatively rigid support substrate, said support substrate further including a base portion having a selected dimension which, during operational heating of the display assembly, effects predetermined bowing or warping forces on the transparent plate to modulate a net bowing or warping effect on the display assembly. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method of modulating warping and bowing stresses in a liquid crystal display assembly, the method comprising:
-
providing a display device including a die having a pixel array, a top surface and an opposite undersurface;
a transparent plate with a ledge portion, an adhesive seal coupling the die to said transparent plate, and a liquid crystal material disposed within a sealed volume formed between the adhesive seal, the transparent plate, and the top surface of the die;
selecting a relatively rigid support substrate having a selected dimension to effect for predetermined warping and bowing forces, during operational heating of the display assembly, upon on the display device once coupled to said relatively rigid support substrate to modulate a net bowing or warping effect on the display assembly. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
