A method of making a display area and a glass spliced piece, and a display area including a glass spliced piece. Before assembling the glass splices into an array, the glass splices are subjected to an edge treatment that increases the edge strength of the glass splices to at least about 200 MPa as measured by a four-point bending test. Edge treatment may include, for example, at least one of plasma jet treatment and protective material application. |
