Patent ID: 7656499

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display, comprising the steps of: forming a pattern layer on an array substrate by dividing a surface of the substrate into a plurality of regions to be exposed and performing divisional exposure for exposing each of the regions to be exposed; dispensing a plurality of droplets of a liquid crystal in a matrix of rows and columns onto at least either the array substrate or an opposite substrate provided opposite to the array substrate such that centers of droplets of the liquid crystal are dispensed to deliberately coincide with center positions on a linear horizontal exposure joint line at boundaries between each of the regions to be exposed adjacent to each other and with center positions on each linear vertical exposure joint line of a plurality of exposure joint lines at boundaries between each of the regions to be exposed adjacent to each other; and combining the array substrate and the opposite substrate in vacuum in a face-to-face relationship with each other and restoring the atmospheric pressure to spread and seal the plurality of droplets of the liquid crystal between the array substrate and the opposite substrate.
