Patent ID: 8384873

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal device, the method including a point-defect repairing step for repairing a point defect in a case where the point defect is caused in the liquid crystal device having a liquid crystal layer held between a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate, the method comprising: preparing a liquid crystal panel included in the liquid crystal device by forming the liquid crystal layer between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate; placing the liquid crystal panel on a first surface of a table such that the first glass substrate faces upward, the table being capable of transmitting light emitted by a backlight disposed opposite a second surface of the table; placing polarizing plates for inspection such that the liquid crystal panel and the table are located between the polarizing plates; detecting the point defect with light emitted by the backlight; determine an area of a surface of the first glass substrate corresponding to the point defect to block light toward the point defect, the surface being away from the liquid crystal layer; forming a concavity in the determined area using a drill having a point angle from 130 to 180 degrees; and forming a light-blocking layer in the concavity.
