METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR JOINING TOGETHER MULTIPLE FUNCTIONAL LAYERS OF A FLEXIBLE DISPLAY

摘要

The present invention may relate to provision of a mechanism to join together the various substrate layers of a flexible display with optically clear adhesives that permit improved flexibility of the substrate layer stack and may also optically guide images to locations on a display surface that are not aligned with the display layer of a substrate layer stack. Embodiments of the present invention may provide for an improved user interface which may include enhanced flexibility and enhanced optical characteristics.

1. A method comprising:
depositing a layer of optically clear adhesive on a first substrate; and laminating a second substrate to the optically clear adhesive opposite the first substrate; wherein a first region of the optically clear adhesive comprises a first elastic modulus, wherein a second region of the optically clear adhesive, exclusive of the first region, comprises a second elastic modulus, and wherein the first elastic modulus is different from the second elastic modulus.
