As shown in FIG. 8, the LC) panel is a panel in which liquid crystal droplets 3 are dispersed and held in a resin matrix 4 between glass substrates 1a and 1b provided with electrodes 2a and 2b, or the resin matrix is in the form of particles or a network in a liquid crystal. When no voltage is applied, since the liquid crystal molecules are oriented in random directions, a difference occurs between the refractive indexes of the resin and the liquid crystal, and light is scattered (FIG. 8A). When a voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules are arranged in the direction of the electric field, and the light is transmitted because the refractive indexes of the liquid crystal and the resin match (FIG. 8B). , High transmittance, no visual dependence.

うものであった。Conventionally, as a method of manufacturing a liquid crystal panel,
What is called a vacuum injection method is known. In this method, after cleaning a pair of glass substrates with electrodes, a sealing resin is formed on an edge of one of the substrates (a part of the sealing resin is open for injection), and a predetermined size is formed on the other substrate. Spacers are interspersed to maintain the gap. Thereafter, the two substrates are bonded together and heated to cure the sealing resin. Then, the panel was placed in a decompressed tank, and the inside of the panel was evacuated. Then, the injection port was brought into contact with the liquid crystal, and the inside of the tank was returned to normal pressure, whereby the liquid crystal was injected into the panel.

In this embodiment, the seal resin is formed outside the display area. However, without forming the seal resin, a mixture of liquid crystal and resin is dropped, the two substrates are bonded together, and light is irradiated only in the display area. The resin may be sealed after the phase separation between the resin and the resin. In that case, by forming a thermoplastic resin in the display area, it was possible to prevent the mixture of the liquid crystal and the resin from contacting the alignment mark or the like.

FIG. 7 is a divided perspective view for explaining the manufacturing method of this embodiment. As in the first embodiment, a transparent conductive film (ITO film) 2 is formed on two transparent glass substrates 1a and 1b.
a and 2b were formed. After cleaning these glass substrates 1a and 1b, 13 μm diameter SiO 2 particles were sprayed as spacers 5 on one of the glass substrates 1a. FIG. 7

The pressure was reduced to (FIG. 7 (c)), and the substrates were bonded together (FIG. 7 (d)). Thereafter, similarly to the first embodiment, an alignment mark 7 for bonding the two substrates 1a and 1b was provided at an end of the substrate outside the display area, and the alignment was performed by using the mark and the substrates were bonded. Thereafter, the portion other than the display area of the panel was shielded from light, and light was applied to only the display area at 50 mW / cm 2 for 5 minutes to cause phase separation between the liquid crystal and the resin in the panel, and at the same time, cured the resin.

By reducing the pressure to such a level, it was possible to obtain a panel having a good display quality without bubbles. In addition, since the inside of the panel is depressurized while the mixture of the liquid crystal and the resin is in contact with the substrate, the area where the mixture of the liquid crystal and the resin is in contact with the atmosphere is small, so that even a highly volatile material can be evacuated.

なしでも良い。In this example, a mixture of polyester acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate was used as the photo-curable resin, but 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate or trimethylolpropane triacrylate may be used. However, the reaction may be performed by heat using a thermosetting resin, a thermoplastic resin, or the like. Regarding liquid crystals, trade name: E-8 (BDH) or trade name: ZLI4792 (manufactured by Merck) or trade name: TL
202 (manufactured by Merck) and the polymerization initiator may be Irgacure 184 (manufactured by Ciba-Geigy) or trade name: Irgacure 651 (manufactured by Ciba-Geigy). That is, the present invention is effective regardless of a liquid crystal material or a resin material. Further, the sealing agent is not limited to the photo-curing agent, but may be a thermosetting or room-temperature curing agent. Alternatively, an active matrix substrate in which an active element is provided on one substrate may be used. Although the insulating film is formed on the substrate surface, the insulating film may be omitted.

固めてしまうことに意味がある。A method of forming a sealing resin on a substrate, dropping liquid crystal on the substrate, pressing the liquid crystal, and curing the seal (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 61-190313 and 5-58).
No. 92, JP-A-5-5893) or a method of forming an adhesive seal in a ring-shaped double structure (JP-A-5-5890).
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-235925), a method in which liquid crystal is dropped onto a substrate in a required amount or more, bonding is performed in a vacuum, and pressure is applied to discharge excess liquid crystal from an outlet (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-235925). A method of applying a mixture for forming a polymer / liquid crystal composite film on a substrate provided with or on the other substrate, bonding both substrates together, and simultaneously performing seal curing and phase separation of PDLC (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-190313 discloses a method in which a substrate is pressed and the gap is closed when the gap becomes uniform. Since the amount of liquid crystal is a liquid and the seal is in an uncured state, the two substrates are likely to shift when the seal contacts the liquid crystal, and then the two substrates shift during sealing. On the other hand, in the present invention, the mixture (composition) of the liquid crystal and the resin between the substrates is solidified at the same time as the pressure is applied, so that the two substrates do not shift. That is, it is significant to solidify the mixture of the liquid crystal and the resin between the substrates.

In JP-A-5893, JP-A-5-5890 and the like, a through hole for allowing liquid crystal to escape is provided, and after excess liquid crystal is extruded, pressure is applied to cure the sealing material. In this case, since the through holes are open, bubbles are mixed between the substrates when the pressure is restored to the original level. Also, when the pressure is restored, the substrate swells,
There is no precise gap. On the other hand, in the present invention, the mixture (composition) of the liquid crystal and the resin between the substrates is solidified while applying pressure, so that an accurate gap can be provided without air bubbles. This also means that the mixture of the liquid crystal and the resin between the substrates is solidified.

On the other hand, in the present invention, since a mixture (composition) of the liquid crystal and the resin between the substrates is solidified, bubbles are not mixed.

を短縮することができる。As described above, according to the present invention, the liquid crystal and the resin or the mixture of the liquid crystal and the resin is dropped onto at least one of the substrates in an amount larger than the amount to be sealed in the panel, and is bonded to the other substrate. After the extra liquid crystal is discharged out of the display area, the liquid crystal and the resin are phase-separated by light irradiation while applying pressure to at least one of the substrates, so that the liquid crystal is volatilized without using a complicated vacuum apparatus. Even highly conductive materials can be injected. Further, since the panel does not need to be pulled into a high vacuum, the manufacturing time can be greatly reduced as compared with the conventional vacuum injection.
