    Abstract: A double-sided display module has a hermetic seal and an electrical connector disposed between the two display sub-modules. The seal can be structured or shaped to have a predetermined height so as to maintain a gap between the display sub-modules approximately between 1 and 100 ?m. The seal can also have a thickness control medium made of polymers to achieve the desirable gap and an adhesive disposed over the thickness control medium for sealing. The thickness control medium and the adhesive can be made of different materials or of the same material. The thickness control medium can be shaped as a continuous spacer or a plurality of discrete spacers. The thickness control medium can be disposed on the substrates and cured to its final form before the adhesive is applied to form the hermetic seal, for example.
