DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a manufacturing process of a liquid crystal display device, a dummy pattern of a sealing material is a pattern necessary for suppressing spattering of broken material at the time of cell cutting. Hereinafter, an example of a conventional example will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the prior art. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21 denotes a first substrate, 22 denotes a second substrate, 23 denotes a sealing material, 24 denotes an opening forming portion, and 25 denotes a dummy pattern.

The first substrate 21 and the second substrate 22 are sealed with a sealing material 2
3 and heat and pressurize to seal material 2
In the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display device including the step of forming the cell by adhering the first and second substrates at a fixed distance from the third, the dummy pattern 25 becomes a continuous linear pattern with respect to the opening forming portion 24. It is configured as follows.

[0005]

However, in the structure of the above-mentioned conventional example, the substrate is placed in a pressurized chamber in which at least one of the upper and lower surfaces capable of sealing the periphery is formed of a sheet, and the inside of the chamber is depressurized to be in contact with the atmosphere. Due to the difference, when the substrate is heated and pressurized through the sheet, the thermally expanded air filled in the cell acts as a lid for the seal dummy pattern near the opening forming portion, hinders exhaust from the opening forming portion, and the sealing material is ruptured. This has the disadvantage that the production is easy and the yield is reduced. In particular, in a substrate on which a plurality of cells are arranged, the distance from the opening forming portion to the dummy pattern is short, and the burst of the sealing material is likely to be remarkable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems. In order to solve the problems caused by the seal rupture occurring in the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display device, the seal dummy pattern near the opening forming portion is partially cut. Even if the distance from the opening forming portion to the dummy pattern is short in the substrate on which a plurality of cells are arranged, from the opening forming portion, at least one of the upper and lower surfaces capable of sealing the periphery is formed into a pressurized chamber formed of a sheet. When the pressure inside the chamber is reduced and the substrate is heated and pressurized through the sheet by a difference from the atmosphere, the thermally expanded air filled in the cell is released from the gap to suppress the rupture of the sealing material. The purpose is to improve the yield.

[0007]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a step of applying a sealing material to one of two substrates while leaving a portion where an opening is formed, and a step of applying the sealing material to the substrate. The substrate is placed in a pressurized chamber where at least one of the upper and lower surfaces that can seal the surroundings is made of a sheet, and the inside of the chamber is depressurized, and the substrate is heated through the sheet due to a difference from the atmosphere. A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device comprising a step of forming a cell by applying pressure and separating and adhering the substrate by a predetermined distance with the sealing material, forming a dummy pattern made of a sealing material near the opening forming portion; A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, wherein a seal material is not provided partially so that a pattern is opened at a position opposite to the opening forming portion.

[0008] In this way, in order to solve the problem caused by the seal rupture that occurs in the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display device, the seal dummy pattern near the opening forming portion is partially cut, so that at least the upper and lower surfaces of the upper and lower surfaces capable of sealing the periphery can be sealed. One of the substrates is placed in a pressurized chamber composed of a sheet, and when the pressure in the chamber is reduced and the substrate is heated and pressurized through the sheet due to a difference from the atmosphere, the thermally expanded air filled in the cells is filled in the gap. As a result, it is possible to suppress the rupture of the sealing material and to improve the yield.
