Abstract: A method for forming a compact LCD package and devices formed by such method are disclosed. In the method, an LCD display panel is formed by bonding an upper glass panel and a lower glass panel together and exposing an edge portion formed by a larger lower glass panel. Conductive traces formed of a conductive film layer such as ITO is provided on the edge portion of the LCD display panel for providing electrical connection to the drive lines and scan lines for the LCD panel.
