Abstract:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display, comprising the steps of:(a) providing a first transparent substrate having one surface on which a color filter is deposited;(b) forming a first electrode in a manner so as to cover the color filter;(c) forming a liquid crystal seal on said first electrode and at the periphery of said one surface of said first transparent substrate, said liquid crystal seal including a plurality of electrically conductive spacers;(d) providing a second transparent substrate having one surface on which a second electrode is formed at a periphery thereof;(e) forming a plurality of lines for controlling thin film transistors provided on said one surface of said second transparent substrate, said plurality of lines including column lines and row lines deposited on said one surface of said second transparent substrate and respectively extending to the corresponding thin film transistors;(f) forming a static voltage discharging member between said second electrode and each of said plurality of lines, said static voltage discharging members being responsive to a predetermined static voltage appearing on each of said plurality of lines; and(g) aligning said first and second transparent substrates so that said liquid crystal seal is positioned on said second electrode, and imparting pressure on said first and second transparent substrates whereby said liquid crystal seal defines a space for a liquid crystal layer together with said first and second transparent substrates and whereby an electrical connection is established between said first and second electrodes via said plurality of electrically conductive spacers.
