Abstract: A manufacturing process for forming a flexible assembly suitable for a curved sensor or display including a stack of layers defining electrical control circuitry is presented. The flexible assembly has a curved configuration and comprises at least first and second components (4, 8) laminated together in a stressed configuration due to their curvature. While the assembly is in said curved configuration at least the first and second components (4, 8) are cut to obtain one or more edges which are aligned to each other.

Abstract: Described are methods for assembling a display device by forcibly flexing a first component to conform to a curved surface, adhering the first component to the curved surface, forcibly flexing a second component to conform to an outer surface of the first component and adhering the second component to the first component. The first and second components each comprise at least one of: i) a touch sensor component or a component film of a touch sensor component; ii) at least one pair of orthogonal polariser sheets; iii) a liquid crystal cell comprising liquid crystal material contained between two containing films; iv) at least one encapsulation film; v) at least one diffuser sheet; vi) a backlight component; vii) a light-emitting diode unit; and viii) a circular polariser component, or a component film thereof, for use with a light-emitting diode unit.

Abstract: A method for producing electronic devices or components therefor comprising providing first and second components for laminating together the first and second components to define active areas. Then, applying adhesive to the first and/or second components, and successively laminating increasingly distal portions of said second component to the first component in a lamination direction. At least a part of the adhesive applied to the first and/or second components in an area downstream of active areas in the lamination direction defines an array of pairs of line sections of adhesive, each pair of line sections converging to a respective meeting point in a direction opposite to said lamination direction. The array of pairs of line sections extends continuously across substantially the whole lateral width of said one or more active areas, without any spaces or lateral line sections between each pair of lines sections in the array.

Abstract: A technique for forming a plurality of liquid cells for a plurality of electronic devices, comprising: providing first and second components for laminating together to contain a liquid material; wherein at least one of the first and second components comprises spacing structures for maintaining a separation distance between the first and second components in at least two active area regions for two electronic devices; providing liquid material on at least one of the first and second components, wherein a sufficient amount of said liquid material for the whole of each active area region is provided in a respective starting area upstream of the respective active area region in the lamination direction; and successively laminating increasingly distal portions of the second component to the first component in a lamination direction, according to a technique by which said liquid material is spread out from said starting areas at least over said at least two active area regions; wherein said at least two active are
