The disclosure relates to vacuum forming methods, apparatuses and resulting displays that represent improvements in various key areas. The methods, for example, greatly improve manufacturing throughput through reduced curing times. The methods further facilitate improved control of glass shape to a targeted shape and improved control of bond line thickness, which result in improved survivability and long-term reliability, for example.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a method of assembling a glass article. The glass article includes a display module and a glass sheet. In the method, an electronic ribbon connector is positioned in a vertical position. The electronic ribbon connector has a first end connected to the display module and a second free end. The display module is attached to the glass sheet. Adhesive is applied to the glass sheet around the display module. A frame is arranged over the glass sheet. The frame has a depending edge and a slot positioned adjacent to the depending edge. The frame is moved towards the glass sheet such that the second free end of the electronic ribbon connector extends through the slot and such that the depending edge of the frame contacts the adhesive.
