METHOD OF MANUFACTURING LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICES

摘要

PURPOSE: A method of manufacturing liquid crystal display devices is provided to prevent misalignment between an upper and lower substrates when affixing them together in order to eliminate defects in resulting display panels such as unevenness in image. CONSTITUTION: A lower substrate(3) on which an adhesive(1) has been applied and a liquid crystal material(2) has been deposited is held fixedly by vacuum suction with a suction-holding mechanism(5) within a vacuum chamber(C). An upper substrate(6) held fixedly by vacuum suction with a suction-holding mechanism(7) is brought opposite to the lower substrate(3) with a predetermined spacing therebetween, and either or both of the substrates is/are brought in proximity with each other for bringing the upper substrate into contact with the adhesive(1) or the liquid crystal material(2). Both substrates(3,6) are then moved relative to each other in a direction parallel to the substrate surface for position alignment, and thereafter, the substrates are moved closer to and pressed to each other so that they are affixed together
