RESIZING LCDs

LCDs are manufactured in highly automated, capital intensive factories in very high volume in limited sizes aimed at mass-market devices such as televisions and computers. It is not cost effective to make small runs of unique sizes because of the capitalization, tooling and setup costs; but it is cost-effective to cut and resize a high-volume-production LCD to a unique, new size in low volume using the Tannas-Sized™ LCD process.

What is Resizing?

To resize a liquid crystal display (LCD) is to literally cut the glass, polarizers, pixel circuits and circuit boards to a new size. Ten years ago it was thought impossible to preserve the original performance of a previously-manufactured (COTS) LCD once the glass and circuits are cut. Twenty years ago, Tannas conceived of a simple low-cost process using low-cost tooling to do just that.

Tannas Electronic Displays, Inc., (TED) was incorporated 06 Aug 1999 to resize LCDs and license the process. The original market application was in the Aerospace and Industrial industry, but an even larger market has evolved for custom sizes in the new Digital Signage industry. TED has a patent portfolio of over 15 patents and a laboratory to make prototypes, teach the proprietary process to Licensees and sell limited prototypes.
