Patent ID: 7006193

Claim:
A method for affixing two substrates to one another using a non-epoxy glue sealant containing photoinitiators, the method comprising the steps of: applying a non-epoxy glue sealant along an outer periphery of a first substrate; placing a second substrate onto the first substrate containing the non-epoxy glue sealant; and irradiating the glue sealant with laser beam radiation to polymerize the sealant by directing light onto one of the first or the second substrate that is at least partially transparent to the laser beam, wherein the step of irradiating the glue sealant includes irradiating the glue sealant with laser beam irradiation that is incident onto one of the first or the second substrates, so that the laser beam subtends an angle at non-normal incidence with respect to the first or the second substrate receiving the laser beam radiation, enabling the laser directed onto the first or the second substrate to pass through the first or the second substrates onto the non-epoxy glue.
