Patent number: 7679710Abstract: Relating to a method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, minimizing liquid crystal material loss and use of cleaning solvent, and providing a liquid crystal display device in which a seal pattern having few gap inconsistencies are taken as a objective. Liquid crystal material wraparound can be prevented by forming a seal stopper portion outside a peripheral seal portion, and in addition, by increasing the degree of symmetry of the seal pattern and by forming a damming portion between injection ports, gap inconsistencies within the liquid crystal display device can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2005Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hideki Katsura

Publication number: 20090323004Abstract: A space between substrates in a liquid crystal optical modulator can be sealed with a metal by using a simple configuration. In a seal structure between the substrates constituting a liquid crystal cell in a liquid crystal optical modulator, metal members are provided on the opposing surfaces of the two substrates, and the base metal surfaces of the metal members are brought into direct contract and joined. As a result, a low-melting metal such as a solder that has been conventionally introduced into the joint section becomes unnecessary, and a metal seal providing for strong bonding can be formed with a simple configuration. The liquid crystal optical modulator has a first substrate having a first electrode pattern including a pixel electrode, a second substrate having a second electrode pattern including a counter electrode, and a metal seal disposed so as to be sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2007Publication date: December 31, 2009Applicant: CITZEN WATCH CO., LTD.Inventor: Masafumi Ide
