Abstract:
A method of adhering substrates together, the steps comprising:introducing a primary substrate having a first surface and at least one outer peripheral edge; applying a bonding element to the first surface in proximity to the outer peripheral edge; introducing a secondary substrate having a second surface; placing the secondary substrate adjacent the primary substrate and seating the secondary substrate upon the bonding element in a first surface to second surface relationship to thereby form a bonded substrate, the bonded substrate having a cell bounded by the substrate's peripheries and the first surface and the second surface; introducing at least one injector; inserting the injector into and through the bonding element at a first opening comprising a bottom of the bonded substrate, the injector in fluid-flow communication with the cell; thereby forming at least one injection port; inserting a means for exhausting into and through the bonding element at a second opening of the bonded substrate, the means for exhausting in communication with the cell; providing a means for optically cohering and introducing the means for optically cohering to the injector; injecting the means for optically cohering in to the cell and ejecting any gas within the cell through the means for exhausting; and filling the cell with the means for optically cohering.
