1. A cell, comprising: a cell member having a sealing chamber in which a liquid material is sealed, an injection port communicating with the sealing chamber, and a display liquid material injected into the sealing chamber of the cell member. In a state where the cell member is arranged so that the liquid inlet is not in contact with the injection port of the member, the pressure in the sealing chamber of the cell member is reduced through the injection port. The liquid material is contacted to seal the injection port, and the pressure outside the sealing chamber of the cell member is increased.Based on the differential pressure between the inside and the outside of the sealing chamber due to the increase in pressure, the sealing chamber of the cell member is increased. In a method of injecting a liquid material into a display cell, a method of injecting a liquid material into a display cell, wherein the cell member is turned in a vertical direction when an injection port of the cell member is brought into contact with the liquid material. .
