Abstract: Methods and apparatus for making flexible display devices include a supporting member main body, a mount, vacuum paths, and nipples with stoppers. The mount is disposed at the surface of the supporting member main body, and includes a plurality of grooves. A flexible mother substrate is mounted on the mount. The vacuum paths penetrate the supporting member main body so as to communicate with the grooves. One end of each of the vacuum paths communicates exteriorly of the main body through one of the nipples and is attachable to and detachable from an external vacuum source. The method and apparatus enable the flexible mother substrate to be processed without being bent or stretched and without deterioration caused by the use of an adhesive.

Abstract: In a display apparatus, a spacer maintaining a cell gap between a first substrate and a second substrate is integrally formed to extend from the first substrate, and an adhesive is formed on an upper face of the spacer. The upper face of the spacer is attached to the second substrate by means of the adhesive. An excess adhesive receiving space is defined in and/or above the upper face of the spacer to receive excess amounts of the adhesive that are extruded from between the spacer and the second substrate when the first and second substrates are press joined to each other.

Abstract: An adhesive member for a display device is provided. The adhesive member includes first and second adhesive layers, and coating layers. The first and second adhesive layers have different adherence characteristics. Each of the coating layers covers the first and second adhesive layer, respectively. The adherence of the second adhesive layer is stronger than that of the first adhesive layer.

Abstract: A transmission-type display device, in which a viewing angle thereof is enhanced, comprises: an panel comprising a first substrate where TFTs are formed and a second substrate facing the first substrate; a first retardation film and a first polarizing plate which adhere sequentially to an external surface of the first substrate; and a second retardation film and a second polarizing plate which adhere sequentially to an external surface of the second substrate.

Abstract: An LCD panel with mixed substrate materials and a method of making the LCD panel are presented. The LCD panel is made of a first substrate, a second substrate disposed substantially parallel to the first substrate, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate includes a glass substrate, a TFT formed on the glass substrate, and a color filter formed on the TFT. The second substrate includes a plastic substrate and a common electrode formed on the plastic substrate. Forming the color filter on the TFT eliminates the need to form black matrices on the second substrate, preventing misalignment of the two substrates due to different heat sensitivities. Since there is no concern of substrate misalignment caused by heat, laser beam can be used to cut the substrates during the manufacture of the LCD panel.

Abstract: A display device is presented. The display device includes first and second panels positioned substantially parallel to each other, a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second panels, and a sealant attaching the the first and second panels to each other and sealing in the liquid crystal layer between the two panels. A sealant portion of at least one of the first and second panels includes a rough surface, the sealant portion contacting to the sealant upon the attaching of the two panels. The rough surface in the sealant portion allows the formation of a seal between the panels that is strong enough to be is suitable for use with a flexible substrate (e.g., a plastic substrate).

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flexible display device includes adhering a first substrate to a supporter, half cutting the first substrate to divide the first substrate into a first region and a second region, assembling the first substrate and a second substrate facing the first substrate, combining the first and second substrates, and removing the second region of the first substrate from the first region of the first substrate.

Abstract: A display device includes a first panel and a second panel facing each other, a liquid crystal layer and a member for determining a tilt direction of liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer. The display device has a reflective area and a transmissive area. The liquid crystal layer is interposed between the first panel and the second panel. The member is disposed at a portion of the second panel corresponding to the reflective area. The display device realizes a multi-domain structure and prominent reflective efficiency is obtained by utilizing a projection area as a reflective area.
