Abstract
A liquid crystal fabrication method includes the steps of: dropping liquid crystal on a first substrate at an upper surface inside regions enclosed by a sealing agent disposed thereon; overlaying a second substrate on the first substrate downward to stick the substrates together; sticking a polarizing plate on an upper surface of the first and second substrates; and collectively dividing the first and second substrates and the polarizing plate.
Claims21
A liquid crystal panel comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a second substrate overlapping said first substrate with a liquid crystal layer posed therebetween;
- a sealing agent disposed between said first substrate and said second substrate to surround said liquid crystal layer;
- and
- a polarizing plate stuck on at least one of said first and second substrates at a surface opposite said liquid crystal layer, said polarizing plate having an end receding from an end of said one substrate and having a surface with an inclination.
A liquid crystal panel comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a second substrate overlapping said first substrate with a liquid crystal layer posed therebetween;
- a sealing agent disposed between said first substrate and said second substrate to surround said liquid crystal layer;
- and
