On those edges where a Bus Bar is required there is a minimum border
from the edge of the part to the beginning of lit area of
0.090" (2.2 mm)
B) Edges/Cutouts
On those edges where no bus bar is required and on all internal
cutouts, there is a minimum border from the edge of the part to the
beginning of lit area of 0.045" (1.1 mm).
C) Clear Areas
When it is required that an area internal to the lit area be clear,
there is a minimum border from the edge of the clear area to the

combination is used. The required clear areas must be specified on
all prints.
