Abstract

PURPOSE:To reproduce a uniform gap efficiently by placing a fine part of the surface of a glass substrate as a substrate to cause fluid deformation and thus forming a groove whose peripheries swell, and coating the groove by undercoating the surface of the glass plate and thus forming fine projections. CONSTITUTION:A load of 100-500g is applied gently on a jig 2 having a one- point diamond scriber whose tip is conically shaped then a groove 5 which is about 0.8mum deep and has about 1mum height at projections 4 and an about 5-10mum diameter is obtained. This glass substrate 3 is used to form an undercoat film 6 of SiO2 by sputtering to 800-1,000Angstrom and thus projections 7 of 1.0mum height are formed; and ITO is sputtered thereupon to 1,000Angstrom thickness. Thus when the ITO is patterned, the projections 7 are aligned and prevented from being on the pattern; and the projections 7 serve as spacers to form a cell having a uniform gap. Then liquid crystal is injected to form an excellent liquid crystal element.
