Methods for assembling a narrow border plastic cover include defining a center portion and an edge portion of a plastic cover. A hard coat treatment may be applied to the center portion of the plastic cover to improve anti-glare and anti-scratch properties and mechanical strength while retaining the flexibility of the plastic cover at the edge portion. An optically clear adhesive may be applied to the plastic cover to improve the durability and bond strength of the bond between the narrow border plastic cover and a display. A structural adhesive may be applied to an edge portion of the display to improve the mechanical strength at the edge portion of the plastic cover when bonded to the display. The narrow border plastic cover may be bonded to the display to improve the ability of the display to absorb impacts.

Recently, with an increasing demand for narrowing a frame, the seal line width is inclined to get finer, which deteriorates the seal adhesive strength. One or a plurality of grooves are formed in a resin layer that is a foundation of a seal area. A direction of forming a groove (lateral surface) is preferably in a vertical direction to the external stress. In a seal straight portion, a groove is preferably formed not only in a parallel direction to the seal but also in the vertical direction. In a seal corner portion, a groove is preferably formed in a shape curved convexly toward a direction of a display area (active area).

A copper heat dissipation material having a satisfactory heat dissipation performance is provided. The copper heat dissipation material has an alloy layer containing at least one metal selected from Cu, Co, Ni, W, P, Zn, Cr, Fe, Sn and Mo on one or both surfaces, in which surface roughness Sz of the one or both surfaces, measured by a laser microscope using laser light of 405 nm in wavelength, is 5 μm or more.
