Because the substrate of the LCD is provided with the boss or groove for preventing the alignment liquid from diffusing, the boss can prevent the alignment liquid from diffusing, and the groove can absorb the diffused alignment liquid. As a result, the alignment liquid is prevented from forming nonuniform boundary on the substrate with surface section difference, and the uniform boundary is formed; furthermore, the boundary of the active area of the LCD further deflects to the alignment layer, and the range of the active area is expanded. Under the action of the blockage by the boss or groove, the boss or groove can deflect to the sealant area, i.e.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2011Publication date: June 6, 2013Inventors: Hongjie Wu, Bing-jei Liao, Hsiang-yin Shih, Cheng-chuan Chan

Publication number: 20130141683Abstract: The invention discloses a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel manufacturing method as well as an LCD panel and an LCD. The manufacturing method comprises the following steps: A: Treating a surface of an electrode of an LCD panel, the surface at least comprising a contact surface with an Au ball, to diminish the adhesion of an alignment liquid to the contact surface and prevent the alignment liquid from not coating the contact surface; and B: Coating or printing the alignment liquid. Because the electrode surface to which an Au ball particle will be applied (namely the transfer pad) is treated before the application to diminish the adhesion of the alignment liquid to this surface, and no alignment layer will be formed on the surface of the transfer pad. Therefore, the alignment layer can be very wide, the uniformity of the alignment layer at the edge is good, the accuracy is high, the display effect on the edge of the LCD panel is improved, and the frame of the LCD panel is narrowed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2011Publication date: June 6, 2013Inventor: Chenghung Chen
