Glass Laminating and Bubble Removing

Put the LCD into Alignment LCD Mold and clean it.

Tear off another protective film on OCA glue. Then align glass lens with LCD and put it into a mold for preliminary lamination.

Take out the LCD and put it into Glass Laminating Machine with a laminate cushion placed under it. You should be more careful of the placement of LCD flex cables at this moment.

Place another clean glass lens onto the LCD Assembly and align them to make complete lamination. Take it out after glass laminating is done.
