PATTERNING METHOD OF LIQUID CRYSTAL ELEMENT

摘要

PURPOSE:To prevent the disconnection owing to the abnormal exposing of an electrode pattern by providing shielding members to the end face of a substrate and executing exposing through a photomask. CONSTITUTION:The shielding members 11 are provided to the photomask 12 on the outside of the pattern surface. The exposing of the end face of the sub strate is then prevented by the members 11 in the stage of exposing through the mask 12 and the generation of the disconnection of the electrode patterns provided to a liquid crystal element as a result of etching after exposing on account of the abnormal exposing through the end face of the substrate is thus prevented.
