Claim:
A method for adjusting an amount of liquid crystal in an LCD (liquid crystal display) device, the method comprising: injecting a liquid crystal into a liquid crystal panel having a sealing member for forming a liquid crystal receiving space; reducing a thickness of the sealing member at a predetermined portion of the sealing member to form a repair region; pressurizing the liquid crystal to break the sealing member at the repair region to discharge some of the liquid crystal from the liquid crystal receiving space, so as to adjust the amount of the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal receiving space; and resealing the broken repair region of the sealing member, wherein the reducing the thickness comprises: heating a metal pattern that overlaps the sealing member under the sealing member; and burning a portion of the sealing member that overlaps the metal pattern by the heated metal pattern, wherein the heating the metal pattern is performed using a laser beam.
