Abstract:
1. A method of forming a panel for use in a liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising: (a) depositing a first, electrically conductive and optically transparent, material on one surface of an electrically insulative and optically transparent substrate; (b) depositing a second, electrically conductive and optically opaque, material on the surface of the first material opposite the substrate; (c) selectively removing one or more portions of the second material to define at least one line of second material; (d) selectively removing one or more portions of the first material exposed by the removal of the overlaying portion(s) of the second material in step (c); and (e) selectively removing the second material defining each line thereof except for a portion of the second material adjacent at least one end of the line, wherein: steps (c)-(e) further define a corner mark adjacent at least one corner of the substrate; and each corner mark comprises a deposit of second material overlaying a deposit of first material overlaying the substrate adjacent the corner of the substrate.
