Dans une atmosphère à pression réduite donnée, un matériau cristal liquide et un espaceur sont disposés dans un espace hermétiquement entouré par un premier et un second substrat transparent ayant une forme courbe et un matériau d'étanchéité afin d'obtenir une cellule de cristal liquide (première étape). Cette cellule de cristal liquide est exposée à une atmosphère à pression atmosphérique de manière à ce que le matériau cristal liquide remplisse l'espace et qu'au moins un des substrats transparents se déforme en raison du changement de pression, rendant ainsi l'espace de la cellule presque homogène (seconde étape).
