View source for Multi model glass display sizes

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.
