An improved substrate or cover plate design with a groove for effective singulation of individual display apparatus. In one embodiment, the display apparatus comprises a prefabricated groove on an inside face of a substrate or cover plate to facilitate separation of a MEMS device from a plurality of MEMS devices formed a substrate. In some embodiments, the prefabricated grooves make breaking at pseudo scribe lines simple by thinning and weakening the substrate or cover plate at a scribe zone and act as an improved guide for breaking. Scribe cut relief preserves components, structural integrity, and produces a clean break without inducing excessive or unwanted stresses into the MEMS core and ensures no damage at the panel ledge for subsequent interconnect assembly. |
