Abstract
A liquid crystal display includes: a pair of substrates, which face with each other, wherein at least one of the pair of substrates is made of ultra-thin glass; a liquid crystal member arranged between the pair of substrates; a main seal pattern arranged between the pair of substrates to bond the pair of substrates and to surround and seal the liquid crystal material; and a gap maintaining member, which is arranged to at least a substrate edge in the vicinity of a substrate edge formed by cutting the at least one of the substrates made of the ultra-thin glass, and which maintains a distance between the pair of substrates in a predetermine range.

A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a pair of substrates, which face with each other, wherein at least one of the pair of substrates is made of ultra-thin glass;
- a liquid crystal member arranged between the pair of substrates;
- a main seal pattern arranged between the pair of substrates to bond the pair of substrates and to surround and seal the liquid crystal material;
- and
- a gap maintaining member, which is arranged to at least a substrate edge in the vicinity of a substrate edge formed by cutting the at least one of the substrates made of the ultra-thin glass, and which maintains a distance between the pair of substrates in a predetermine range.
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display, comprising:
- preparing a pair of mother substrates;
- forming a main seal pattern having a plurality of seal regions configured to surround and seal liquid crystal member and a gap maintaining member between the main seal pattern, on one of the pair of mother substrates;
- forming a united configuration, in which the main seal patterns and the gap maintaining member is united by bonding the pair of mother substrates;
- and
- cutting the bonded mother substrates at a position corresponding to the gap maintaining member.
