進んできている。"Prior Art and its Problems" Today, liquid crystal display elements are widely used as the display part of watches, calculators, etc., and are also used in the displays of ○A equipment, automobile instrument panels, and televisions. Screens are becoming larger.

である。Chiral smectic C liquid crystal, which has a higher viscosity than nematic liquid crystal, has recently been put into practical use as a high-speed response liquid crystal material for such liquid crystal display elements. When this chiral smectic C liquid crystal is sealed in the cell gap of a cell made by bonding two glass substrates with transparent electrodes formed inside, the optical axis becomes aligned in one direction as the chiral smectic C liquid crystal spirals. In this cell, the angle of the optical axis of the liquid crystal molecules changes depending on the applied voltage, and by operating the liquid crystal molecules between two polarizing plates, the birefringence changes and light modulation occurs.

らセルの内部に注入させる方法である。By the way, a so-called true chamber injection method is generally adopted as a method for injecting liquid crystal into the inside of a cell. this is,
The cell is placed in a reduced pressure atmosphere, and the air inside the cell is extracted from the inlet formed in a part of the cell.The inlet is then immersed in the liquid crystal bath, and the pressure is returned to atmospheric pressure, and the liquid crystal is removed from the inlet into the cell. This method involves injecting it into the inside of the body.

ローズアップされてきている。However, according to the above-mentioned vacuum injection method, a problem arises in that as the display area increases and the cell area becomes larger, the liquid crystal injection time becomes longer. In particular, the above-mentioned chiral smectic C liquid crystal has a cell gap of a liquid crystal display element that is 1/2 compared to a conventional nematic liquid crystal.
/3~115, which is about 2 um, and has a high viscosity, so the long injection time of liquid crystal has become a major problem and has been highlighted.
