Abstract: A display may have a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between a thin-film transistor layer and a color filter layer. An upper polarizer may be placed on top of the thin-film transistor layer. A lower polarizer may be placed under the color filter layer. Components may be bonded to bond pads on the inner surface of the thin-film transistor layer using anisotropic conductive film. Bond quality may be assessed by probing probe pads that are coupled to the bond pads or by visually inspecting the bond pads through the thin-film transistor layer. Opaque masking material in the inactive area may be provided with openings to accommodate the bond pads. Additional opaque masking material may be placed on the underside of the upper polarizer and on the upper surface of the thin-film transistor layer to block the openings from view following visual inspection.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided with a display such as a liquid crystal display mounted in an electronic device housing. The display has a layer of liquid crystal material sandwiched between an upper display layer such as a color filter layer and a lower display layer such as a thin-film-transistor layer. An upper polarizer is formed on the upper surface of the color filter layer. A lower polarizer is formed on the lower surface of the thin-film-transistor layer. To protect display layers such as a glass color filter layer substrate for the color filter layer from damage during polarizer trimming operations, a coating is deposited on a peripheral edge of the glass color filter layer substrate. The coating may be formed from an elastomeric polymer such as silicone and may remain in place or may be removed following trimming operations.

Abstract translation: 电子设备设置有诸如安装在电子设备外壳中的液晶显示器的显示器。 显示器具有夹在诸如滤色器层的上显示层和诸如薄膜晶体管层的下显示层之间的液晶材料层。 在滤色器层的上表面上形成上偏振片。 在薄膜晶体管层的下表面上形成下偏振片。 为了保护用于滤色器层的显示层，例如用于滤色器层的玻璃滤色器层基板，在偏光板修整操作期间不会损坏，因此在玻璃滤色器层基板的周缘上沉积涂层。 涂层可以由诸如硅树脂的弹性体聚合物形成，并且可以保留在适当位置，或者可以在修剪操作之后被去除。
