Patent ID: 8179515

Claim:
An apparatus for manufacturing a liquid crystal display panel by sequentially bonding a pair of film substrates, each having a display region defined therein, from a first end toward a second end under normal pressure so that the respective display regions of the film substrates overlap each other, wherein a sealant having a cut-out formed at least on the second end side of the display region is arranged on one of the film substrates to enclose a liquid crystal material between the pair of film substrates, and the liquid crystal material is supplied to the first end side of the display region in the one film substrate or the other film substrate, the apparatus comprising: a bonding unit arranged to bond the pair of film substrates to each other through the sealant and the liquid crystal material by pressing respective surfaces of the film substrates so that a pressure in a middle of the film substrates becomes higher than that at both ends thereof; and a sealing unit arranged to seal the cut-out of the sealant to the pair of film substrates bonded in the bonding unit.
