Patent ID: 7327426

Claim:
A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display unit, comprising: a first step of providing a roll of a first flexible polymeric substrate having a longitudinal length longer than a transversal width; a second step of forming transparent electrodes on the first flexible polymeric substrate; a third step of forming a vertical orientation film on the first flexible polymeric substrate; a fourth step of solidifying the vertical orientation film; a fifth step of prescribing a falling direction of molecules of a liquid crystal having a negative dielectric anisotropy in the vertical orientation film, the falling direction being prescribed in parallel with a phase advancing axis or a phase delaying axis of an optical anisotropy of the first flexible polymeric substrate; and a sixth step of connecting the first flexible polymeric substrate to an opposed second flexible polymeric substrate; wherein the first flexible polymeric substrate is continuously fed from the roll in the longitudinal direction during the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth steps.
