PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a suction mechanism for liquid crystal panels which can suck liquid crystal panel, without crushing a spacer interposed between a pair of substrates. SOLUTION: The liquid crystal panel 30 is composed by interposing a spacer 33 between a pair of substrates 31 and 32, and sticking them together. The liquid crystal panel 30 is sucked by a suction member 22 via a mask 24. The mask 24 consists of elastic material and has a recess 25 to the side of the liquid crystal panel 30. The recess 25 is provided at least in an area, corresponding to a liquid crystal layer of the liquid crystal panel 30 of the mask 24. The mask 24 is stuck on the suction surface of the suction member 22. Since the contact area of the liquid crystal panel 30 and the mask 24 is decreased by the recess 25 formed in the mask 24, even when the hard foreign matter and the hard contaminant are inserted and sucked, crushing of the spacer 33 of the liquid crystal panel 30 can be reduced, and the degradation of the flat characteristic and strength of the liquid crystal panel 30 is prevented.
