Patent ID: 7868990

Claim:
A liquid crystal panel, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate parallel to the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the two substrates; a sealant adhering the two substrates together, the sealant comprising a first portion in the form of a closed loop and a second portion comprising a plurality of sealant blocks spaced from each other, the first portion of the sealant surrounding the liquid crystal layer, and the second portion of the sealant generally surrounding the first portion of the sealant; and a light shielding member, the light shielding member corresponding to the second portion of the sealant and exposing at least a part of the first portion of the sealant adjacent to the liquid crystal layer to light entering the liquid crystal panel from outside the liquid crystal panel, the light shielding member preventing the second portion of the sealant from being irradiated by the light while allowing said at least a part of the first portion of the sealant to be irradiated by the light, and the second portion of the sealant thereby having stronger adhesion than the first portion of the sealant; wherein the closed loop sealant is an ultraviolet (UV) light irradiated and thermal-hardened sealant, and the sealant blocks comprise thermal-hardened sealant only.
