Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the number of substrates obtainable from a substrate material, and thereby to reduce the cost of manufacturing a liquid crystal cell. SOLUTION: A first substrate material 2 on which pixel electrodes and terminals are formed in each of a plurality of substrate regions, is bonded to a second substrate material 3 which is segmented into a plurality of second substrate regions 112 and trimming portions 121, arranged correspondingly to regions on the first substrate material excluding the terminal array portion of each substrate region and to the terminal array portions, and on which a counter electrode is formed in each of the second substrate regions 112. The substrates are bonded via a plurality of frame-like sealing material 18 to be assembled into a liquid crystal cell assemblage 1. The plurality of sealing material 18 is formed while being made to correspond to the respective circumferences of the plurality of second substrate regions 112 in such a manner that, in the sides enclosing the screen areas, the sides along a division line c of the second substrate regions directly adjacent to each other without interposing the trimming portion 121 are formed into a common side 18a having a width over both edges of the adjoining second substrate regions. The assemblage 1 is then divided along division lines c, d; and the common side 18a of the frame-like sealing material 18 is divided along the division line c. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form, for each of a plurality of pixels, an area in which liquid crystal molecules are aligned at a stable pretilt angle in a predetermined pretilt direction and an area in which the liquid crystal molecules are aligned at a stable pretilt angle in the predetermined other pretilt angle. SOLUTION: A first alignment film 15 on the inner surface of one substrate 1 includes a normal directional inclination part 15a inclined to increase the height from the substrate 1 toward a rubbing direction 15r of the alignment film 15 and a reverse directional inclination part 15b inclined to increase the height from the substrate 1 toward a direction opposite to the rubbing direction 15a, which are formed in parts corresponding to a plurality of pixels 30. A second alignment film 20 on the inner surface of the other substrate 20 includes a normal directional inclination part 20a inclined to increase the height from the substrate 2 toward a rubbing direction 20r of the alignment film 20 and a reverse directional inclination part 20b inclined to increase the height from the substrate 2 toward a direction opposite to the second direction, which are formed in parts corresponding to the plurality of pixels 30.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the frequency of external shape defects caused by crack of an end surface of a glass substrate having been cut oblique to its surface and burrs thereof when two large-sized glass substrates which are stuck together are cut along scribe lines formed on their external surfaces, and to reduce a frame area. SOLUTION: Posts 7 made of the same material as a seal material 3 are interposed between both the large-sized glass substrates 11 and 12 at parts corresponding to an intersection of virtual lines 13 for scribe lines extending in a row direction and virtual lines 15 for scribe lines extending in a column direction. In this case, portions of the seal material 3 are common side parts 3a provided symmetrically on both right and left sides of the virtual lines 15 for the scribe lines. Then, when both the large-sized substrates 11 and 12 are cut, the frequency of an external shape defect can be suppressed because of the presence of the posts 7. Further, the frame area can be made small by cutting the substrates along width-directional centers of the common side parts 3a. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve the yield of production by preventing the dielectric breakdown and degradation in performance of thin-film transistors(TFTs) by influence of static electricity. CONSTITUTION:A conductive thin film is formed uniformly over the entire surface of the front surface of a transparent substrate 1 and the side faces thereof. The thin film is etched to form plural gate lines 4 to be arranged within the prescribed region A on the substrate 1 and a conductive parts 4' which are arranged from the outer side of the region A of the substrate 1 to the side faces of the substrate 1 and conduct electrically to the respective gate lines 4. The substrate 1 is arranged on a metallic rubbing stage to electrically conduct the respective gate lines 4 via the conductive parts 4' to the rubbing stage and the surfaces of oriented films are rubbed in this state at the time of forming the TFTs, pixel electrodes, data lines and oriented films on the region A and subjecting the surfaces of the oriented film to a rubbing treatment. The substrate 1 is scribed along the contours of the region A after the rubbing treatment, by which the conductive parts 4' are removed and the respective gate liens 4 are made independent.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to improve workability and to improve a yield. SOLUTION: This liquid crystal display element is provided with an external connecting electrode 26 on a lower substrate 5 and is provided with a connecting electrode 17 connected to a common electrode 11 under this upper substrate 9 so as to face the external connecting electrode 26. The external connecting electrode 26 is subjected to a heat treatment by irradiation with a laser beam and is thereby partly built-up, by which a conductive projection 21 is formed. The front end of the conductive projection 21 is pressed to the connecting electrode 17. The external connecting electrode 26 and the connecting electrode 17 are conducted and connected via the conductive projection 21. Consequently, the need for the conventional cross material forming stage is eliminated and the labor and time for forming the cross material by one point each by a dispenser method are eliminated. The adhesion of dust, etc., on the surface of oriented film by exposing the oriented films on the upper side does not arise either. Then, the workability is improved and the yield is improved.
