A custom made liquid crystal display is formed from a pre-manufactured liqui d crystal display (10) by removing an excess region (23). The driver card (20) is cut along the line X-X and the excess TABs are disconnected from the conductive layer (18). Optionally, a narrow strip is removed from each of the polarising substrates (15, 16) between the lines (22, 25) to expose their associated glass plates (12, 13). A groove (32 - see Figure 10) is then cut into the exposed surface of each of the glass plates (12, 13) along the line X-X. Each glass plate (12, 13) is then fractured along the base of its groove (32) so that t he excess region (23) is detached from the operative region (24). The cut edges of the glass plates (12, 13) are then sealed by applying a bea d of ultra-violet curing adhesive. The processes of removing an excess region (23) by cutting the glass plates (12, 13) with a laser or b y freezing the liquid crystal between the glass plates (12, 13) and machining through the glass plates (12, 13) are also described.
