Display device and manufacturing method thereof

A manufacturing method of a display device formed of a pair of a first substrate having a display region and terminal portions formed thereon and a second substrate, the method comprising the steps of:

• forming the plurality of first substrates on a mother first substrate;
• forming the second substrates on a mother second substrate so as to correspond to the display regions of the first substrates and forming terminal openings on the mother second substrate so as to correspond to the terminal portions of the first substrates, the mother second substrate being made of plastic with a thickness of 200 μm or less;
• forming a mother substrate by bonding the mother first substrate and the mother second substrate;
• and
• separating the pair of the first substrate and the second substrate from the mother substrate.

A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display formed of a pair of a TFT substrate and an opposed substrate having color filters and spacers, the TFT substrate having terminal portions and a display region in which pixels including TFTs and pixel electrodes are formed in a matrix,

• the method comprising the steps of:
• forming the plurality of TFT substrates on a mother TFT substrate;
• forming the plurality of opposed substrates on a mother opposed substrate so as to correspond to the display regions of the TFT substrates, the mother opposed substrate being made of plastic with a thickness of 200 μm or less;
• forming terminal openings on portions of the mother opposed substrate so as to correspond to the terminal portions of the TFT substrates, after forming the color filters and the spacers;
• forming a mother substrate by bonding the mother TFT substrate and the mother opposed substrate;
• and
• separating the pair the TFT substrate and the opposed substrate from the mother substrate.

A display device comprising a first substrate having a display region and terminal portions and a second substrate opposed to the first substrate,

• wherein the second substrate is made up of a first region including a display region and a second region not including a display region,
• the second substrate has terminal openings formed in regions corresponding to the terminal portions of the first substrate,
• the second region of the second substrate is not opposed to the display region of the first substrate and the terminal portions of the first substrate,
• the first substrate and the first region of the second substrate are bonded with a sealing material, and
• the first substrate and the second region of the second substrate are bonded with the sealing material.

A manufacturing method of a passive display device,

• the passive display device comprising:
• a first substrate having a plurality of first electrodes formed to extend in a first direction, and
• a second substrate having a plurality of second electrodes formed to extend in a second direction,
• the first and second electrodes having pixels formed on points of intersection of the first and second electrodes so as to constitute a display region, the plurality of first electrodes having a first terminal portion formed on ends of the first electrodes, the plurality of second electrodes having a second terminal portion formed on ends of the second electrodes,
• the method comprising the steps of:
• forming the plurality of first substrates on a mother first substrate made of plastic with a thickness of 200 μm or less;
• forming the plurality of second substrates on a mother second substrate made of plastic with a thickness of 200 μm or less;
• forming terminal openings on portions of the mother first substrate so as to correspond to second terminals formed on the second substrates;
• forming terminal openings on portions of the mother second substrate so as to correspond to first terminals formed on the first substrates;
• forming a mother substrate by bonding the mother first substrate and the mother second substrate;
• and
• separating the individual passive display devices from the mother substrate.
