  • Publication number: 20170227804
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal sandwiched between the substrates, and a display region. A hole portion is formed in the display region. A first seal portion is formed to surround the display region. A second seal portion is formed to surround the hole portion. The first and the second seal portions seal the liquid crystal. The second seal portion has a first end portion on the liquid crystal side and a second end portion on the opposite side of the liquid crystal side. A sealing material is present in the first end portion. A sealing material is present in the second end portion. A wall-like spacer is formed between the first and the second end portions to surround the hole portion. The wall-like spacer defines the gap between the first and the second substrates.

  • Publication number: 20160349561
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device has a liquid crystal display panel that includes a thin-film transistor (TFT) substrate having pixels formed thereon in a matrix pattern and a counter substrate, the two substrates having liquid crystal sandwiched therebetween to constitute a display area having a periphery encircled by a frame area. The display area has a first axis and a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The liquid crystal display panel is curved along the first axis. The gap between the TFT substrate and the counter substrate is determined by columnar spacers formed on the counter substrate in a manner corresponding to positions of a black matrix over the counter substrate. The center of each of the columnar spacers is displaced in the first axis direction from the center of each of the corresponding positions of the black matrix.
