Liquid crystal display manufacturing method, liquid crystal display, and electronic apparatus

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display comprising:

• forming a protective film on at least either of a first mother substrate and a second mother substrate which are disposed opposite to each other and each of which has a plurality of panel regions;
• removing the protective film in a region which is associated with at least a start point and an end point of a seal material and which is near the periphery of an area including the panel regions,
• applying the seal material to the protective film on the first mother substrate and the second mother substrate in the vicinity of dividing lines at which the mother substrates are divided into individual panel regions using a dispenser, the seal material being applied from the start point to the end point to form a gap to serve as a liquid crystal injection port;
• combining the first mother substrate and the second mother substrate;
• and
• dividing the combined first mother substrate and the second mother substrate into the individual panel regions.
