Method for manufacturing a flexible panel for a flat panel display
A method for manufacturing a flexible panel is disclosed, which has the following steps. First, a first substrate having a plurality of functional switches or conducting lines thereon is provided. Then, a second substrate is bonded on the functional switches or conducting lines, and the first substrate is thinned to a predetermined thickness subsequently. Afterwards, a flexible third substrate is adhered on the first substrate, wherein the first substrate is sandwiched between the second substrate and the third substrate. Finally, the second substrate is removed.
1. A method for manufacturing a flexible panel comprising:
(a) providing a first substrate having a plurality of functional switches or conducting lines thereon;
(b) bonding a second substrate on said plurality of functional switches or conducting lines;
(c) thinning said first substrate to a predetermined thickness;
(d) adhering or sealing a removable substrate on said first substrate;
(e) removing said second substrate;
(f) forming a plurality of light valves, light-emitters, or conducting layers on said plurality of functional switches or conducting lines;
(g) removing said removable substrate from said first substrate; and
(h) coating a flexible polymer on the surface of said plurality of light valves, light-emitters, or conducting layers and said first substrate.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first substrate is a glass substrate.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said thinning method in step (c) is polishing, cutting, or etching.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said switch is a thin film transistor.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first substrate is thinned to have a thickness ranging from 30 to 100 μm.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coating method in step (h) is immersion or spin coating.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thickness of said polymer ranges from 1 to 10 μm.
