Flat panel display assembly and method for making the panel.

摘要

A flat panel liquid crystal display, and method for forming the display, wherein spacers (11) are lithographically patterned and etched on the cover sheet (10) of the display, and the cover sheet is assembled on an active matrix substrate (20) with the spacers directed toward the active matrix substrate. A liquid crystal material (32) is provided in the gap (31) between the cover sheet and active matrix substrate. The active matrix substrate may have pixels thereon each having a plurality of components, with the spacers (11) being aligned with the same element (23) of each of a plurality of the pixels.
