A display panel, laminated substrate, and liquid crystal cell which includes a pair of facing substrates bonded together with a sealing material. One or both of the substrates includes at least one corner portion on which a plurality of protruding pads are formed, the pads assisting in dispersion of the sealing material during bonding of the substrates to prevent sealing material from moving inwardly and possibly adversely affecting the display region of the resulting structure. A method of making such a laminated substrate is also provided.

Bubbles mixed in liquid crystal injected into a liquid crystal cell are pushed out through an outlet. The outlet has a space secured to a maximum limit by an extended sealing portion reaching the outer peripheral end surfaces of substrates, and a step with a color filter is formed. The pushed-out bubbles are surely trapped by the space of the outlet. In a replenishing port for replenishing liquid crystal, an introduction spacer having a height equal to that of the color filter is provided, and by a capillary phenomenon, liquid crystal for replenishment can be smoothly introduced into the liquid crystal cell.

Liquid crystal cell, display device, and method of fabricating liquid crystal cell with special fill ports

A rubbing direction (X) for each upper substrate of a tile panel constituting a liquid crystal panel unit is set along a horizontal direction (H) of the liquid crystal panel unit, a rubbing direction (Y) for each lower substrate of the tile panel is set along a vertical direction (V) thereof, and absorption axes (S) of polarizing plates and are allowed to coincide with the horizontal direction (H) of the liquid crystal panel unit. Moreover, in a set of four tile panels, the rubbing directions (X) and (Y) are made to differ from one another, thus viewing directions (Z) of high contrast are distributed into four directions, and turning directions (reference codes (R) and (L)) of liquid crystal molecules in the respective tile panels are arranged alternately in the horizontal direction (H) of the liquid crystal panel unit.

Display panel device, display panel unit and display device

A display panel complex includes a plurality of image display panels arranged on the same plane and a joint for joining adjacent image display panels to each other among the plurality of image display panels. The joint is made of opaque particles having an opaqueness and an adhesive resin for dispersing and holding the opaque particles.

Liquid crystal display and fabricating method thereof

It is an object of the present invention to provide the liquid crystal display (LCD) device with a structure which can prevent the light of a back light from being passing through a bonding region, and can prevent the TFTs of the pixel regions from being damaged by the accumulated electrostatic charges, during the handling of each discrete LCD panel, the rubbing process of the alignment layer on the lower glass substrate , the assembling process of the LCD panels, and the handling of the completed tiling panel. The present invention is directed to a LCD device comprising a first LCD panel and a second LCD panel; wherein one edge of the first LCD panel is positioned in proximity and adjacent to one edge of the second LCD panel; and wherein a light shielding and electrically conductive adhesive bonds the one edge of the first LCD panel and the one edge of the second LCD panel.

The present invention features designs of pixels and designs of control features for seals on AMLCD tiles optimized for tiling AMLCD flat panel displays (FPDs) which have visually imperceptible seams. The FPD structure has an image view plane which is continuous and remote from the pixel apertures or image source plane on the inside of the tiles. The image is formed on the view plane by a distributed ultra low magnification flies-eye optical system (a screen) that is integrated with the tiles, effectively excluding and obscuring an image of the seams. The innovations described herein minimize the defects on the perimeter pixels by effectively damming the waviness of the front of the seal near the perimeter pixels on the tiles. Dark space required for the seal between the interior tile edges and active regions of the pixels is decreased, as is the space allocated for wiring thereby increasing the feasible aperture ratios near the mosaic edges and all apertures. The tile designs make effective use of the area of an entire manufacturing panel.

Toner for developing electrostatic image, image forming method and process cartridge

A method for applying the sealing material onto the corner regions of the substrate to realize the liquid crystal cell with large display region. A protrude region,is formed on each of the side regions adjacent to a display region of a first substrate,. A difference of level is formed at each boundary of the side region and the corner region on one surface of the first substrate,for providing the corner region with a height which is lower than a height of the side region. A sealing material,is applied on the side regions and the corner regions on the one surface of the first substrate,by a tool for dispensing the sealing material,. When a second substrate,is positioned on the applied sealing material,on one surface of the first substrate,, a distance between the first substrate,and the second substrate,is decreased and the sealing material,applied on the first substrate,is collapsed.
