  • Patent number: 9259753
    Abstract: A flow channel member includes: an ink flow channel having a horizontal flow channel; a self-sealing valve disposed on the downstream side of the ink flow channel and configured to open and close the ink flow channel; a pressurizing unit configured to apply a pressurizing force to the ink in the ink flow channel from the upstream side; and an air bubble trap provided in the middle of the horizontal flow channel for storing an air bubble, wherein the air bubble trap includes an air-bubble permeable wall formed of an air-bubble permeable member configured to allow permeation of the air bubble and is configured to cause the air bubble coming into abutment with the air-bubble permeable wall to be a flat shape and to be pressed against the air-bubble permeable wall so as to bring the air bubble into surface contact with the air-bubble permeable wall.

  • Patent number: 8395733
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display includes: forming a protective film on at least either of first and second mother substrates disposed opposite to each other and each having panel regions; removing the protective film in a region which is associated with at least start and end points of a seal material and which is near the periphery of an area including the panel regions, applying the seal material to the protective film on the first and second mother substrates in the vicinity of dividing lines at which the mother substrates are divided into individual panel regions using a dispenser, the seal material being applied from the start to end points to form a gap to serve as a liquid crystal injection port; combining the first and second mother substrates; and dividing the combined first and second mother substrates into the individual panel regions.
