PURPOSE:To shorten liquid crystal enclosing times of a nematic and smectic liquid crystal, by beveling one side of, at least, one of upper and lower base plates and providing liquid crystal pouring holes in the one side. CONSTITUTION:A lower base plate 1 whose face 6 is beveled and upper base plate 2 are joined to each other with a sealing material 4 in between. Since an empty cell is manufactured by forming pouring holes 3 with the sealing material 4 so that the length of the opened sections can become 50% of the length of one side and filled up with liquid crystal, enclosure of the liquid crystal is performed under a condition where the inside and outside of the cell is set to a vacuum condition. If the whole panel is maintained at a high temperature at the time of enclosure of liquid crystal, the liquid crystal compound efficiently gathers around the holes 3 by a capillary action and uniformly diffused throughout the beveled side. Therefore, smectic liquid crystal can be enclosed in a short time in the same manner as that used until now even if the number of the pouring holes is increased. |
