Abstract:
An apparatus for manufacturing a liquid crystal display constituted by bonding a first substrate and a second substrate disposed opposite to each other with a liquid crystal intervened between them, said apparatus comprising:first and second surface plates having first and second substrate suckers disposed in parallel to each other, each of said first and second substrate sucker sucking said first and second substrates, respectively; a vacuum chamber in which said first and second surface plates are provided; a first supporter which supports said first substrate with the state of restraining the displacement in a surface direction of said first substrate on said first surface plate; a second supporter which supports said second substrate with the state of restraining the displacement in a surface direction of said second substrate on said second surface plate; a pressurizer for press-welding said first and second substrates by pressing said first and second surface plates; and a position-aligning mechanism which performs an alignment between said first and second substrates while said pressurizer presses said first and second surface plates.
