Liquid crystal panel manufacturing apparatus and method for manufacturing the liquid crystal panel

A liquid crystal panel manufacturing apparatus comprising:

• a treatment bath configured to contain a liquid and to treat a panel in the liquid, wherein the panel includes a liquid crystal layer having a photo-polymerizable material and a liquid crystal composition;
• a light irradiation unit irradiating the panel to be treated housed in the inside of the treatment bath with a light to polymerize the photo-polymerizable material;
• and
• a liquid remover configured to remove the liquid on at least a portion of the pane.

A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal panel comprising:

• housing a panel to be treated in a liquid introduced inside a treatment bath, the panel to be treated including a liquid crystal layer having a photo-polymerizable material and a liquid crystal composition;
• irradiating the panel to be treated with a light to polymerize the photo-polymerizable material;
• and
• removing the liquid on at least a portion of the panel to be treated.
