LCD and OLED screen panels are obtained from glass substrates, called motherglass, cutting the desired screen sizes from a bigger single substrate. With multi model glass (MMG), two different sizes can be obtained from each piece of glass, reducing "waste".


  • note: the following numbers don't take into account defects in the substrate, which affect yields significantly.
  • note2: the layouts presented doesn't necessarily mean they are currently used by LCD/OLED factories.
