Liquid crystal displays are manufactured by dropping liquid crystals on at least one of a pair of liquid crystal display substrates and then placing the pair of liquid crystal display substrates adjacent one another, with the liquid crystals therebetween. The pair of liquid crystal display substrates is pressed toward one another, to thereby discharge excess liquid crystals from between the liquid crystal display substrates. The pair of liquid crystal substrates is then sealed to retain the liquid crystals therebetween. Accordingly, by not requiring the use of injection of liquid crystals, high vacuum processing is not required. Moreover, the number of processing steps can be reduced compared to conventional liquid crystal display manufacturing methods.

Method of manufacturing LCD by dropping liquid crystals on a substrate

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal cell and a fabricating method thereof, more specifically, relates to a method for combining a pair of glass substrates and to a liquid crystal cell made thereby. A fabricating method according to the present invention includes steps of spreading spacers on an inner surface of a first transparent substrate provided with electrodes, and forming a seal member along the boundary edge of a second transparent substrate provided with electrodes after aligning the second substrate to be opposite to the first substrate. As the seal member is formed while the first and the second substrates are held under pressure, no special equipment is needed and no additional step of pressing is necessary after aligning the substrates. Furthermore, the seal member occupies smaller area in the alignment surfaces of the cell compared to a conventional art. As a reduced pressure is applied during aligning the substrates, adjusting the position of the substrates is easy and the movement of the substrates is reduced.
