Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten liquid crystal enclosing times of a nematic and smectic liquid crystal, by beveling one side of, at least, one of upper and lower base plates and providing liquid crystal pouring holes in the one side. CONSTITUTION:A lower base plate 1 whose face 6 is beveled and upper base plate 2 are joined to each other with a sealing material 4 in between. Since an empty cell is manufactured by forming pouring holes 3 with the sealing material 4 so that the length of the opened sections can become 50% of the length of one side and filled up with liquid crystal, enclosure of the liquid crystal is performed under a condition where the inside and outside of the cell is set to a vacuum condition. If the whole panel is maintained at a high temperature at the time of enclosure of liquid crystal, the liquid crystal compound efficiently gathers around the holes 3 by a capillary action and uniformly diffused throughout the beveled side. Therefore, smectic liquid crystal can be enclosed in a short time in the same manner as that used until now even if the number of the pouring holes is increased.

Conventionally, there is a vacuum sealing method h'-- which is the most common method for sealing nematic liquid crystals and smectic liquid crystals between a pair of substrates. This method involves uniformly scattering space materials such as spheres or cylindrical particles with the same diameter as the target cell gap onto one substrate, and then pre-cutting large squares (hereinafter referred to as injection holes) for liquid crystal injection. 5. Next, print the sealing material on the cylindrical plate that will be bonded to one of the substrates, and then apply equal pressure to the cylindrical substrate to create an empty cell sheet. Next, in order to fill the empty cell with liquid crystal, the inside and outside of the cell are made vacuum-like, and the liquid crystal is introduced into the injection hole. After that, the pressure inside the cell is brought to atmospheric pressure or above atmospheric pressure, This is a method in which a pressure difference is provided outside and liquid crystal is encapsulated using the pressure difference.

[Problems with invention h: y + determination 5] However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the smectic liquid crystal is used as the main purpose, and the liquid crystal electro-optical element is used as the object. If the diameter of the liquid crystal is 3 microns or less, even if the entire panel is kept at a high temperature to reduce the viscosity of the liquid crystal and the liquid crystal is transitioned to an isotropic liquid phase for encapsulation, the encapsulation speed will still be within the liquid crystal encapsulation range. is 50×
A 20 cm cell requires more than 6 hours of encapsulation time, which increases the productivity of liquid crystal electro-optical devices. It's very bad. In order to shorten the encapsulation time, increasing the area of the encapsulation hole has been attempted, but there are limitations in terms of cell gap control.
