Liquid crystal display device with elevation stoppers on both sides of opening in seal

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of:

• (a) preparing a pair of transparent substrates;
• (b) providing a sealant layer between the substrates to give a spacing by a predetermined distance and to form an opening in a part of the sealant layer;
• (c) introducing a liquid crystal material through the opening into the spacing;
• (d) providing a pair of liquid-crystal-elevation stoppers on both sides of the opening and an outer side of the sealant layer between the substrates;
• and
• (e) forming an opening-sealing member at and in a vicinity of the opening to seal the liquid crystal material within the spacing between the substrates.

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a pair of transparent substrates,
• a sealant layer provided between the substrates to give spacing by a predetermined distance,
• an opening formed in a part of the sealant layer, said opening being formed to extend to a peripheral edge of said transparent substrates,
• a liquid crystal material introduced through the opening into the spacing,
• a pair of liquid-crystal-elevation stoppers provided on both sides of the opening and on an outer side of the sealant layer between the substrates, said stoppers comprising a different member than said sealant layer, and
• an opening-sealing member formed at and in a vicinity of the opening to seal the liquid crystal material within the spacing between the substrates.
