Err no, each component is roughly the same size as the display itself.  eg 
for a typical 2.0" phone display each component is going to be the same 
order of magnitude.  Of course the electronic circuits that are actually on 
the glass panel itself are too small to see, for the electronics guys (yes 
we only get male applicants) we just show them some simplified circuit 
diagrams of important stuff, showing them the transistors under a microscope 
wouldn't be too helpful.
