A stereoscopic liquid crystal display includes an LCD panel with an upper substrate, a lower substrate disposed opposite the upper substrate, and a liquid crystal material between the upper and lower substrates. A lenticular plate is disposed above the LCD panel. An hole is formed in the lenticular plate. The hole provides and air conduit that communicates in a space between a surface of the LCD panel and a surface of the lenticular plate. The hole is configured to facilitate evacuation of air from the space between LCD panel and the lenticular plate. A sealant material is disposed in a predetermined pattern between the surfaces of the LCD panel and the lenticular plate. Air is evacuated through the hole and a vacuum is formed in the space between the LCD panel and the lenticular plate. The vacuum minimizes or eliminates a gap between the surfaces of the LCD panel and the lenticular plate.
