Abstract :
The structural strength of liquid crystal displays (LCD) is largely controlled by the quality of the glass edges, since most fractures originate at an edge. This paper reviews the failure mechanism of glass and the importance of edge preparation. Various edges preparation techniques are described and their effect on edge strength is discussed.
