Patent ID: 7609359

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal panel comprising: a projection formation step of forming a plurality of projections on one of a pair substrates in a manner to surround a display area; after said projection formation step, a mask placement step of placing a mask for shielding the outside of the display area such that the mask is in contact with the projections but not in contact with the substrate; a deposition step of depositing a deposition film within the display area through the mask; a step of removing the mask; a sealing material placement step of placing a sealing material in a region where the projections are formed; an opposed substrate placement step of placing another substrate of the pair of substrates opposed to the one substrate having the projections formed thereon; and a metal film placement step of placing a metal film on the surface of the projections; wherein: the metal film placed on the surface of the projections is provided to pass through the region where the sealing material is placed and extend to the outside of the display area surrounded by the sealing material; the substrate having the deposition film placed thereon is an integrated substrate to form substrates of a number of liquid crystal panels; and the metal films placed on the respective surfaces of the projections on the number of liquid crystal panels are electrically connected to each other outside the display areas of the liquid crystal panels.
