Abstract
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.
