Patent ID: 8235761

Claim:
A method for resizing an electronic display, the display comprising a front plate, a back plate, a perimeter seal spacing the front and back plates apart, and image-generating medium contained in an area between the front and back plates and within the borders of the perimeter seal, the front and back plates being spaced apart by a predetermined cell gap, the method comprising: creating a scribe line along each of the front and back plates extending from one side edge to an opposite side edge of the display to identify a target portion and an excess portion of the display; breaking the display along the scribe lines to separate the target and excess portions of the display, thereby creating an exposed edge along the target portion extending from the one side edge to the opposite side edge and communicating with the area between the plates of the target portion; pressing the plates of the target portion towards one another; applying adhesive along the exposed edge; and returning the plates of the target portion to the predetermined cell gap, thereby drawing the adhesive between the plates along the exposed edge.
