Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising:applying a liquid containing a pre-polymeric material to spacers, the liquid being in a liquid state upon introduction of the spacer to at least one of a first substrate and a second substrate, the spacers being distributed generally randomly along an inner surface of at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are made of a flexible polymer material; depositing a material with optical properties onto an inner surface of at least one of the first substrate and an inner surface of the second substrate; laminating together the first substrate and the second substrate to form a cell; and prior to depositing the material with optical properties, polymerizing the pre-polymeric material in situ to form solid polymeric material occupying at least a portion of the cell such that at least a portion, wherein at least a portion of the solid polymeric material is in direct contact with the inner surface of the first substrate and the inner surface of the second substrate.
