Patent ID: 7903203

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display element, comprising: applying to a surface of one of display substrates each having a support and an electrode provided on one surface of the support, which surface has the electrode, a coating solution for a display layer in which one of liquid crystal drops and liquid crystal microcapsules is dispersed in a solution containing gelatin and a solvent, the gelatin, the solvent, and the one of the liquid crystal drops and the liquid crystal microcapsules being in an adjusted mix proportion, thereby forming a coating layer; and evaporating the solvent in the coating layer at a temperature equal to or higher than the freezing point of the gelatin to provide a display layer between the electrodes of the display substrates, wherein a coating portion is retained in an atmosphere of which the vapor pressure is the same as or close to the saturation vapor pressure of the solvent in a part or the total of time that the solvent is evaporated.
