Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the loss of a liquid crystal by forming a protective wall to prevent the infiltration of the liquid crystal into the spacing formed of a substrate on the outside of a cell and a sealing material simultaneously with or prior to injection of the liquid crystal into the cell by soaking the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal injection port. CONSTITUTION:The cell 4 is inserted and fixed into a sealing device 8 and the inside of the device 8 is evacuated by a vacuum device to evacuate the inside of the cell 4 to a vacuum. A stage 14 is risen to bring a liquid crystal supply tank 15 and a coater 16 into contact with the side face of the liquid crystal injection port 9 part of the cell 4 and to begin to inject the liquid crystal 5 into the cell 4 through the liquid crystal injection port 9. A high-viscosity liquid (UV curing type resin) 12 is simultaneously coated on both sides of the port 9 by the coater 16. Since the coating of the resin 12 is executed simultaneously with the contact of the liquid crystal 5, the protective all 13 is formed in the spacing 10 on both sides of the port 9 and the liquid crystal 5 merely infiltrates to spacing between the wall 13 and the port 9 and the infiltration of the high-viscosity liquid (UV curing type resin) 12 into the port 9 part is obviated. The loss of the liquid crystal is thereby decreased.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the liquid crystal injection method, there is a gap IO formed between the pair of glass substrates 2 and the sealing material 6 on the outer periphery of the sealing material 6 of the cell 4.
Therefore, the liquid crystal 5 enters due to capillary action. Intrusion of the liquid crystal 5 into the gap 10 in this way not only causes loss of the liquid crystal 5, but also causes the liquid crystal 5 to ooze out after being injected into the cell 4 and stain the electrode terminal portion 11. Requires cleaning. However, since the distance between the glass substrates 2 is small, about 10 μm, there is a problem that special cleaning such as ultrasonic cleaning must be performed.
