Claim:
A method for resizing an electronic display including top and bottom plates, and imaging-generating medium sealed between the top and bottom plates to define a display image area of the display, the display comprising one or more layers overlying an outer surface of the top plate, the method comprising: identifying a cut line overlying the display image area and defining a target portion and an excess portion of the display; passing a fine-toothed round saw along the cut line over the display such that the saw removes polarizer material and creates a channel having a width “W” that extends through the one or more layers to the outer surface of the top plate without cutting into the outer surface of the top plate, the saw having a width corresponding to the width “W” or slightly less than “W”; and passing a scriber tool along the cut line within the channel to create a scribe line in the outer surface of the top plate.
