Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display element which includes a liquid crystal sandwiched between a pair of substrates, each having at least electrodes and an alignment layer, comprising the steps of:(a) forming along a lengthwise direction of the electrodes a spacer wall on said alignment layer on one of said pair of substrates, said spacer wall having a uniform height and a trapezoidal cross section with respect to a plane perpendicular to the lengthwise direction so that a lower surface corresponding to a longer base of the trapezoidal cross section contacts said alignment layer;(b) applying an adhesive onto a transfer substrate;(c) transferring said adhesive from said transfer substrate to an upper surface of said spacer wall by pressing the upper surface against said transfer substrate having said adhesive applied thereto, the upper surface of said spacer wall corresponding to a shorter base of said trapezoidal cross section; and(d) making the other of said pair of substrates adhere to said adhesive transferred to the upper surface.
