Liquid crystal cell employing compression loading to achieve uniform interplate spacing, and method of construction thereof.

摘要

A liquid crystal display cell is provided in which a first wall-forming plate (41) of the cell is provided with a plurality of spacers (42) on its surface. A uniform loading force is applied to the cell which seats a second wall-forming plate (44) against the spacers on the first plate, thereby conforming and uniformly spacing the plates. The force is provided by a pressure plate (47) placed adjacent to the second plate so that the second plate is sandwiched between the first plate and the pressure plate. A layer of elastomer (48) is placed between the pressure plate and the second plate. The pressure plate is then clamped to the first plate and the clamping pressure is transferred uniformly to the second plate.
