Abstract:
A compressive seal which adhesively couples a transparent plate and a die of a liquid crystal display assembly, and seals and contains a quantity of liquid crystal material disposed between the transparent plate and the die, the compressive seal comprising:a compressible first adhesive sealant disposed substantially peripherally around the liquid crystal material between the transparent plate and the die of the liquid crystal display assembly, said first adhesive sealant being substantially non-reactive with said liquid crystal material; and a second adhesive sealant disposed substantially peripherally around said first adhesive sealant and adapted to compress the first adhesive sealant and the quantity of liquid crystal material between the transparent plate and the die when said second adhesive sealant is exposed to heat, wherein said second adhesive sealant substantially prevents said first adhesive sealant from expanding such that contact of the liquid crystal material with both the transparent plate and the die is maintained.
