Patent ID: 8310650

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of: forming a sealant which has a closed pattern over one of a pair of substrates; removing a gas component from the sealant by disposing the substrate provided with the sealant under first reduced pressure; forming a scribing groove on one of the pair of substrates by a scribing apparatus before attaching the pair of substrates to each other; dripping liquid crystal to a region surrounded by the sealant after forming the scribing groove; attaching the pair of substrates to each other under second reduced pressure which is different from the first reduced pressure after forming the scribing groove; heating the sealant and the liquid crystal for aligning the liquid crystal molecules after attaching the pair of substrates to each other; and dividing the pair of substrates along a band-like region which is formed by the scribing in which the cutting depth of the scribing apparatus is set after attaching the pair of substrates to each other.
