Patent ID: 7280179

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display cell comprising the following steps: forming a sealing member having a main portion enclosing a display region and a protrusion part extending from the main portion wherein the sealing member is formed by the following steps: applying a sealing material to either one of a pair of substrates from a position outside of the display region toward the display region to form the protrusion part of the sealing member; and continuing applying the sealing material along the display region to form the main portion of the sealing member, wherein positions of an initial end and an overlapping area within the sealing member are different and the overlapping area extends along one side of the display region; dispensing a liquid crystal material upon one of the pair of substrates; superposing one of the pair of substrates upon the other one such that the liquid crystal material is enclosed by the sealing member; curing the sealing member; cutting the pair of substrates to obtain the liquid crystal display cell.
