Claim Text:
1. A method for assembling electronic device structures that include a first layer and a second layer, comprising: dispensing a liquid pressure sensitive adhesive precursor material onto the first layer; curing the liquid pressure sensitive adhesive precursor material using a curing tool to create a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive on the first layer; following creation of the layer of pressure sensitive adhesive on the first layer, laminating the first and second layers together with the pressure sensitive adhesive so that the layer of pressure sensitive adhesive is interposed between the first and second layers, wherein the first layer comprises a surface on which an array of touch pad electrodes is formed, wherein the array of touch pad electrodes form a patterned set of surface structures on the first layer, wherein each touch pad electrode in the array of touch pad electrodes has respective first and second opposing surfaces, wherein the first surface is in direct contact with the first layer, and wherein the second surface is separated from the first layer by a step height, and wherein dispensing the liquid pressure sensitive adhesive precursor material comprises coating the surface of the first layer and the array of touch pad electrodes on the surface of the first layer with the liquid pressure sensitive adhesive precursor material; and applying a dam structure to portions of the first layer, comprising:
