Patent ID: 8724073

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, the method comprising: preparing first and second substrates, at least one of the first and second substrates being a transparent substrate; forming a plurality of column spacers on the first substrate for maintaining a cell gap between the first and second substrates and a sidewall on the first substrate for sealing a periphery of the substrates; applying an adhesive solution including an adhesive diluted with an organic solvent onto the first substrate having the column spacers and the sidewall thereon; positioning the second substrate on the first substrate so that the first and second substrates face each other; adhering the column spacers and sidewall to the second substrate by drying the organic solvent from the adhesive solution; and providing a liquid crystal material between the first and second substrates, the liquid crystal material being mixed with an adhesive, wherein the adhesive solution on the column spacers and sidewall and the adhesive mixed with the liquid crystal material are formed of a same adhesive, and wherein the drying of the adhesive solution is performed by heating or pressure reduction.
