Do you actually believe that LCD manufacturers screen TFT transistors onto massive pieces of glass (like TV-sized) and then slice them down to phone-sized pieces for assembly?

It's not quite that simple, but essentially "yes". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDoxReEkHe8
In that video, the larger parent substrate glass is still partitioned into smaller segments for lithography and processing.

I was referring more to the concept that the entire substrate is built as a huge 163 dpi display and then it's a matter of customer preference how the glass is cut.
