Abstract: A workpiece for a display article includes a coated first substrate including a first substrate; a liquid optically clear adhesive disposed on the first substrate in a first fill pattern; and a dam disposed on the first substrate, spaced apart from the first fill pattern, and configured to restrain a flow of the liquid optically clear adhesive. The workpiece also includes a coated second substrate adjacent the coated first substrate and including a second substrate and the liquid optically clear adhesive disposed on the second substrate in a second contact pattern.

Abstract: A method of forming a display article includes dispensing a material onto a first substrate, and pre-curing the material to form a dam. The method includes depositing a liquid optically clear adhesive in a first pattern onto the first substrate such that the first pattern is spaced apart from the dam to form a coated first substrate. The method includes depositing the adhesive in a second pattern onto a second substrate to form a coated second substrate, and flipping the coated second substrate upside down. The method includes translating the coated first and second substrates towards one another to eliminate an air gap, contacting the first pattern and the second pattern at a plurality of single points, and compressing the first pattern and the second pattern to eliminate the air gap and air entrained between the coated first and second substrates.

Abstract: A display system includes a display device disposed in a housing to generate an image on a projection surface. A mirror element cooperates with the display device. The mirror element includes a rotator cell disposed proximate to the display device and at least one reflective polarizer cooperating with the rotator cell. An active polarizing cell cooperates with the rotator cell. A first optical bonding layer is positioned between and cooperating with the rotator cell and the active polarizing cell that maintains a planar relationship between the rotator cell and the active polarizing cell.
