A Mega Dumb Question?

Hey,

If you drilled a whole (lets say 10mm wide) through an LCD screen will the LCD Screen still work with the whole in it?

Just that i heard something on the net stating that a company can cut lcd screens! so if you was to cut a section out of an lcd screen, would this work?

Or how does this company manage to cut lcd screen....wouldnt this be rather handy?

I dont know how the company "cuts" LCD screens but I am pretty sure a screen would break if you cut a whole through it.

This is because the signals feed from 2 sides, usually top and left sides. If you make a cut then any where on the right and below of the cut will not recieve a signal and so break. Thats assuming that during the drilling you dont rupture the screen.

If the hole is cut very carefully, a portion of the LCD screen will continue to function. There will be a vertical strip and a horizontal strip starting at the hole location that will be non-functional because the hole will cut through conductors on the glass.

The company that cuts LCDs does so to resize commercial units. They trim an edge with a diamond saw then reseal the edge. I wouldn't be surprised to find that they have extra fluid to replace what is lost while cutting. This is an expensive process.

What kind on configuration would a screen need to be cut, im trying to think where this work maybe the autobrake panel? with lcd behind.

If this could be done it will be excellent to pass through a yoke through the screen so you can place software gauges around the yoke whole instead of placing 1 monitor ontop of the yoke.

There MUST be a way to do this?

If this does happen it will change simming tech by FAR!

This would be perfect as id only need to display 1 gauge next to the whole, i do not need anything to be displayed the other size!

If this works i'll be sooo happy!

Whats the best way to cut.....glass? is an LCD glass? How will i cut a 1 inch hole through an LCD?

mmmmmm?
