LCD cutting process: remanufacture of 4:3 aspect commercial into 1:1 avionics displays

摘要

The recent business difficulties in manufacturing avionic grade AMLCDs from scratch has focussed attention on the alternative route of remanufacturing commercial grade AMLCDs to suit the optical and environmental requirements of cockpit displays. A major difficulty in this approach has been te absence of commercially available glass with the 1:1 aspect ratio often requested, particularly for retrofits. A proven method is described which circumevents this difficulty by allowing an AMLCD to be reshaped after its original manufacture.
