Abstract
A liquid crystal contained in a liquid crystal reservoir is applied to an injection port of a blank liquid crystal panel in a vacuum chamber, and the vacuum chamber is restored to the atmospheric pressure to inject the applied liquid crystal into the liquid crystal panel through the injection port. Herein, the liquid crystal, particularly a ferroelectric liquid crystal having a high viscosity, is effectively used for filling the liquid crystal panel with a minimum loss by using a transfer member moving between the liquid crystal reservoir and the liquid crystal panel.
