Patent ID: 8134680

Claim:
A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal panel having a construction in which a liquid crystal layer and a sealant portion surrounding and sealing said liquid crystal layer are provided between a pair of substrates attached to each other, said manufacturing method comprising: manufacturing a first liquid crystal panel and a second liquid crystal panel by a panel manufacturing process, said first liquid crystal panel and said second liquid crystal panel differing from each other in position of said sealant portion to be formed thereon; detaching said substrates from a defective liquid crystal panel by a substrate detachment process, said defective liquid crystal panel being one of said first liquid crystal panel and said second liquid crystal panel that includes a defect; and manufacturing a third liquid crystal panel by a reuse-panel manufacturing process, said third liquid crystal panel being formed by attaching a substrate detached from said first liquid crystal panel and a substrate detached from said second liquid crystal panel to each other, wherein: said first liquid crystal panel includes a first sealant portion, and said second liquid crystal panel includes a second sealant portion; said reuse-panel manufacturing process includes forming a third sealant portion by a sealant-portion forming process, said third sealant portion being formed on one of said substrate detached from said first liquid crystal panel and said substrate detached from said second liquid crystal panel; and said third sealant portion is located to differ in position from both of said first sealant portion on said first liquid crystal panel and said second sealant portion on said second liquid crystal panel.
