Patent ID: 8233129

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal panel which has a first glass substrate, a second glass substrate, and a liquid crystal held in a predetermined gap with which the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate are bonded to each other by a seal material, comprising the steps of: injecting the liquid crystal from an injection hole for injecting the liquid crystal, which is provided on at least one side of the liquid crystal panel; sealing the injection hole with a sealing material that projects outwardly beyond the injection hole at least in a thickness direction of the first and second glass substrates; beveling end sides of the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate, at which the injection hole is provided, together with the sealing material, to form a first beveled end side portion of the first glass substrate and a second beveled end side portion of the second glass substrate; and after completion of the beveling of the end sides of the first and second glass substrates, etching opposite surfaces of the first and second glass substrates forming the liquid crystal panel by chemical polishing to reduce a thickness of the liquid crystal panel delimited between the opposite surfaces of the first and second glass substrates in a thickness direction of the liquid crystal panel, and stopping the etching of the opposite surfaces before the thickness between the opposite surfaces is reduced to a thickness smaller than a thickness of the sealing material in the thickness direction of the liquid crystal panel.
