  • Patent number: 6819392
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display utilizing the dispense-injection method, and it is an object of the invention to provide a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display which allows an optimum quantity of liquid crystals to be dispensed on each substrate. At a dispense-injection step, in the case of a two-shot process for fabricating two liquid crystal display panels from a single glass substrate, the heights of support posts on two CF substrates having columnar spacers formed thereon are measured at a plurality of points (e.g., five locations) on each of the surfaces using a laser displacement gauge and an average value of the height is obtained. The support post height of the columnar spacers is thus measured in advance to control the quantity of dispensed liquid crystals based on the measured value.

  • Patent number: 6798488
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device has a liquid crystal inserted between first and second substrates and surrounded by a peripheral seal. The liquid crystal is dripped onto the first substrate in an area defined by the seal of the first substrate. The first substrate and the second substrate are joined or bonded together under pressure in a vacuum chamber. The chamber is then exposed to the atmosphere while keeping the first substrate and the second substrate under pressure. The pressure is then released and thereafter light is irradiated onto the peripheral seal. The vacuum chamber includes upper and lower surface plates to support the substrates. The surface plate includes an electrostatic chuck and a vacuum attraction passage provided in the chuck.

  • Publication number: 20020196393
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display, which can surely perform an instillation process used when liquid crystal is sealed between substrates in a cell process, and a fabrication method thereof. A liquid crystal display comprises a sealing material 6 made of a photo-curing type material which seals liquid crystal 22 sandwiched between substrates 4 and 16, and a shading film 8 having a shading area which overlays a red-colored layer 28 transmitting red light, a green-colored layer 26 transmitting green light and a blue-colored layer 24 transmitting blue light, wherein only the blue-colored layer 24 is formed in an area of the shading film contacting with the sealing material 6 and the photo-curing type material of the sealing material is structured to have a light reactive area for a wavelength of blue color band.

  • Publication number: 20020080321
    Abstract: There is provided a liquid crystal display device manufacturing method that comprises the steps of forming a sealing member along a periphery of a display area on a first surface of a first substrate, dropping a liquid crystal to the first surface of the first substrate from a top end of a liquid crystal supply needle provided to a lower end of a syringe in which the liquid crystal is filled, and dropping down the liquid crystal adhered to a surface of the liquid crystal supply needle onto the first substrate by an external force in a middle of dropping of the liquid crystal or after the liquid crystal is droppe. Accordingly, an amount of liquid crystal supplied to the substrate can be controlled with high precision.
