Patent ID: 8045111

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, the method comprising: preparing a first substrate and a second substrate; forming alignment films on one surface of the first substrate and one surface of the second substrate, respectively; performing rubbing treatment on a surface of each of the alignment films; screen-printing a seal member on said one surface of the first substrate so as to surround a display area; and stacking the first substrate and the second substrate on each other while said one surface of the first substrate faces said one surface of the second substrate, with a rubbing direction of the alignment film on the first substrate being parallel to a rubbing direction of the alignment film on the second substrate, and joining the first substrate and the second substrate through the seal member by curing the seal member while the first substrate and the second substrate are bonded to each other through the seal member; wherein in the step of screen-printing the seal member, printing is performed while a squeegee which is brought into contact with a screen and moved in a predetermined direction is moved from a start point side to an end point side, in the rubbing direction of the alignment film formed on said one surface of the first substrate, in a range in which a shift angle with respect to the rubbing direction of the alignment film formed on said one surface of the first substrate is not more than ±10°.
