Abstract:
A method of forming a liquid crystal display element comprising:forming a liquid crystal panel; forming a first mark on a surface of the liquid crystal panel; forming a planar microlens array; forming a plurality of convex lenses on a surface of the planar microlens array by applying a resin of high refractive index onto the surface of the planar microlens array and molding the resin of high refractive index into the plurality of convex lenses through an application of ultraviolet rays; forming a second mark on the surface of the planar microlens array by employing the molding of the resin of high refractive index to simultaneously form the second mark with the forming of the plurality of convex lenses, the second mark having at least two mark elements defining a flat space therebetween; placing the first mark within the flat space formed by the at least two mark elements of the second mark so that the convex lenses align with the liquid crystal panel and a path between the first mark and the second mark is unobstructed; and bonding the planar microlens array onto the liquid crystal panel with a resin of low refractive index.
