Abstract (en)

A method for affixing a plurality of spacers (240) in a flat panel display (700) includes the steps of: (i) patterning a bonding agent (130) on the inner surface of a display plate (110) of the flat panel display (700), (ii) forming spacer bundles (245, 246) within a spacer jig (210) (iii) contacting the contact planes of the spacer bundles (245, 246) with the bonding agent (130), (iv) selectively bonding a portion of the spacers (240) to bonding regions (140) of the bonding agent (130), and (v) thereafter removing the spacer bundles (245, 246) from the display plate (110) so that the selectively bonded spacers (240) are removed from the spacer bundles (245, 246) and remain affixed to the display plate (110). <IMAGE>
