Liquid crystal display element and manufacturing method thereof

A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display element which includes a pair of substrates made of plastic, a plurality of spacers for maintaining a gap between the pair of substrates and a liquid crystal between the pair of substrates, comprising the steps of:

• (a) disposing said plurality of spacers between said pair of substrates, and forming a liquid crystal injection slit for injecting the liquid crystal between said pair of substrates while bonding said pair of substrates with a seal material which is provided around a region where said plurality of spacers are disposed;
• (b) injecting the liquid crystal between said pair of substrates via said liquid crystal injection slit;
• and
• (c) sealing said liquid crystal injection slit while adjusting pressure which is applied to said pair of substrates so as to adjust the gap between said pair of substrates in which the liquid crystal was injected,
• wherein:
• when x is an average value of thickness of the plurality of spacers in a state without a load in such a direction that said plurality of spacers are sandwiched between said pair of substrates,
• when adjusting said pressure, the gap d between said pair of substrates at completion of the liquid crystal display element is adjusted so as to satisfy d<x≦1.1d.

A liquid crystal display element consisting essentially of:

• a pair of substrates having opposing an inner surfaces, wherein
• (a) an electrode is formed on each of the opposing inner surfaces,
• (b) each of the pair of substrates is made of plastic, and
• (c) at least one of a switching element, a color filter, and an orientating film is formed on at least one of the opposing inner surfaces;
• a liquid crystal sandwiched between said pair of substrates;
• and
• a plurality of spacers for maintaining a gap d between said pair of substrates, which are sandwiched between said pair of substrates,
• wherein when x is an average value of thickness of the plurality of spacers in a state without a load in such a direction that said plurality of spacers are sandwiched between said pair of substrates, d<x≦1.1d is satisfied.
