A method of producing a display panel sequentially includes a polarizing plate attachment process of attaching a polarizing plate to a surface of a substrate with a side surface of the polarizing plate being positioned outwardly from a side surface of the substrate, and a polarizing plate trimming process of trimming the side surface of the polarizing plate such that the side surface of the polarizing plate becomes flush with the side surface of the substrate.

The present disclosure provides abrasive articles that include an abrasive layer having a contact surface, a first layer coupled to the abrasive layer, and a second layer coupled to the first layer. The first layer is configured to provide contact pressure to the abrasive layer, such as through a higher hardness than the second layer. The second layer is configured to provide conformability to the abrasive layer, such as through a higher compressibility than the first layer. The resulting abrasive articles may exert a consistent contact pressure against a substrate with increased conformability around the substrate, reduced hysteresis, improved removal rate consistency, and/or improved lifetime over abrasive articles that do not use the multiple layer construction described above.

Apparatus and methods for processing a glass sheet can include a coating chamber including a dispensing port to dispense a coating on a major surface of the glass sheet. In some embodiments, an apparatus can include a fog chamber including an enclosure, a fog generator to provide fog to the enclosure, and a passage in the enclosure from which fog can exit the enclosure to contact a major surface of the glass sheet. In some embodiments a method can include providing a glass sheet to a coating chamber, and dispensing a coating on a major surface of the glass sheet. In some embodiments, a method can include providing a glass sheet to a fog chamber, providing fog to an enclosure of the fog chamber, and contacting a major surface of the glass sheet with the fog by passing the fog from the enclosure through a passage in the enclosure.

A decoating method for the edge decoating of glass sheets, the glass sheets having at least on one of their two glass surfaces a protective coating in the form of a peel-off protective film or in the form of a polymer protective layer that cannot be peeled off, and preferably having a functional coating situated under the protective coating, the protective film being partially mechanically removed, in particular ground away, for the edge decoating, in the form of at least one film strip, laser traces being introduced into the protective film before the mechanical removal of the film strip, and the laser traces being introduced in such a way that the film strip is removed in the form of individual film strip partial pieces separated from one another by the laser traces; or the polymer protective layer being removed using laser radiation.

A glass-plate working apparatus 1 is comprised of a working head 7 for working an end face in a region R1 of an end face 6 of a glass plate 2; a moving means 10 for moving the working head 7 in an X direction along the end face in the region R1 of the glass plate 2; a working head 11 for working an end face in regions R2 and R3 of the end face 6 of the glass plate 2; and a moving means 12 for moving the working head 11 in the X direction along the end face in the regions R2 and R3 of the glass plate 2.

The area of a spacer that is to be provided between the adjacent substrates in a laminate including a plurality of substrates to keep the adjacent substrates apart from each other is smaller than those of the stacked substrates. When pressure is released to bring the laminate obtained by providing the spacers between the substrates from a pressed state in which 0.60 MPa of pressure is applied to the laminate in the stacking direction into a non-pressed state, an amount of change W in thickness per spacer that is calculated from a change in the thickness of the laminate due to the release of pressure is 30 m or less.
