Abstract
To reduce the operation time of the manufacturing process by decreasing the delay in the time required for injecting the liquid crystal due to the projections formed on the panel for controlling the alignment of the liquid crystal. Protrusions for controlling the alignment of liquid crystal are disposed throughout a panel. The longitudinal axes of the protrusions are arranged so that they are not in parallel with (or, more specifically, they are substantially orthogonal to) an edge of the panel having a liquid crystal inlet. In this way, the flow resistance of the liquid crystal is reduced, and the liquid crystal can be injected smoothly.
Claims8
A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a panel including a pair of opposing substrates;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer that is supplied through an inlet provided on a predetermined edge of the panel and that is sealed inside the panel;
- protrusions that control an alignment of the liquid crystal being unidirectionally disposed over the entire panel;
- and
- longitudinal axes of the protrusions being disposed so that the axes are not parallel with the predetermined edge of the panel.
A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a panel including a pair of opposing substrates;
- a liquid crystal layer that is supplied through an inlet provided on a predetermined edge of the panel and sealed that is inside the panel;
- a plurality of protrusions that control an alignment of liquid crystal in the panel being disposed substantially in parallel with and substantially orthogonal to the predetermined edge of the panel;
- and
- a density of the plurality of protrusions disposed in a first axial direction being substantially in parallel with the predetermined edge of the panel projected onto the first axis being smaller than a density of the plurality of protrusions disposed in a second axial direction substantially orthogonal to the predetermined edge of the panel projected on a second axis.
A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a panel including a pair of opposing substrates;
- a liquid crystal layer that is supplied through an inlet provided on a predetermined edge of the panel and that is sealed inside the panel;
- a plurality of protrusions that control an alignment of liquid crystal in the panel being disposed substantially in parallel with and substantially orthogonal to the predetermined edge of the panel;
- and
- intervals between the protrusions disposed substantially in parallel with the predetermined edge of the panel being larger than intervals between the protrusions disposed substantially orthogonal to the predetermined edge of the panel.
