Ring-shaped seal for LCD and method formed of first and second different material sealing members with respective first and second connecting portions each having respective first and second abutting parts that are continuous with the sealing members

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device comprising:

• continuously forming a sealing member on a first mother board by continuously discharging a sealing material using a dispenser;
• bonding the first mother board and a second mother board interposing a liquid crystal layer therebetween;
• and
• cutting the bonded first and second mother boards,
• wherein the first mother board includes a plurality of element regions;
• wherein continuously forming the sealing member includes forming the sealing member across the plurality of element regions along a first direction in which the element regions are arranged;
• wherein the sealing member forms a connecting portion such that one of the plurality of element regions is surrounded by a ring-shaped continuous closed portion at least after bonding the first mother board and the second mother board, the ring-shaped continuous closed portion sealing the liquid crystal layer to an inside of the ring-shaped continuous closed portion;
• the ring-shaped continuous closed portions includes a plurality of corners and a plurality of sides, each side extending between two of the corners in a second direction that intersects the first direction;
• and
• the connecting portion protrudes from a position of one of the sides separated from the corresponding corners, toward an outside of the ring-shaped continuous closed portion.
