Title:
IMPROVED METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTICALLY TRANSPARENT VIA FILLING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/022248
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for filling a via 16 with transparent material 18 is presented, including the steps of providing a panel 10 having a via 16, occluding the via 16 with transparent material 18 in a workable state so that a portion of the occluding material 18 is internal to the via 16 and a portion of the material is external 54 to the via 16. The external 54 and internal portions are separated so the transparent filler material 18, when set, forms a smooth and featureless surface 12. This causes the filled via 16 to have a substantially even and uniform appearance over a wide range of viewing angles when lit.
