  • Patent number: 11726375
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments generally relate to a method, system and apparatus for forming a custom-sized display panel. An exemplary method to form a custom display from a large sheet of pixels includes: providing a sheet of pixels having a TFT substrate, a liquid crystal layer and a second substrate, the sheet of pixels having a first perimeter, the liquid crystal medium interposed between the TFT substrate and the second substrate; forming a display panel from the sheet of pixels, the display panel having a display panel perimeter, the second display having a first edge defined by the TFT substrate extending beyond the second substrate to thereby expose an electrical trace on the TFT substrate; sealing the liquid crystal layer on the first edge; conductively exposing the electrical trace on the TFT substrate; and forming a column driver line on the TFT substrate to communicate a driver signal to the second display.
