Patent ID: 7623215

Claim:
A method of manufacturing at least one liquid crystal panel or plural liquid crystal panels each having a double seal structure, comprising the steps of: forming a first seal in a shape of a closed loop, which defines an area for sealing a liquid crystal, on one of a pair of substrates opposite to each other, so as to surround a display area; forming a second seal in a shape of a closed loop, which forms a reduced-pressure area, outside the first seal so as to surround the first seal and form a double seal structure; dropping the liquid crystal onto any of a predetermined area inside the first seal and a predetermined area inside of a position of the other substrate, the position being opposite to the first seal; adhering the one substrate to the other substrate at a reduced-pressure state; and hardening the first and second seals to seal the liquid crystal while pushing the pair of the substrates from the outsides thereof at an atmospheric pressure state, wherein a dropped area of the liquid crystal is defined so as to satisfy relations represented by inequalities: 2.5b≦a1≦5b and 2.5b≦a2≦5b where “a1” is an interval between an internal peripheral portion of the first seal and an outermost portion of the dropped area of the liquid crystal along an entire area therebetween, “a2” is an interval between a position, which is opposite to an internal peripheral portion of the first seal on the other substrate, and an outermost portion of the dropped area of the liquid crystal along an entire area therebetween, and “b” is an interval between an external peripheral portion of the first seal and an internal peripheral portion of the second seal, and wherein said double seal structure remains as part of said liquid crystal panel.
