Abstract

A liquid crystal display panel device includes a liquid crystal display panel, a sealing material disposed along a first outer perimeter of the liquid crystal display panel, a barrier wall disposed along a second outer perimeter of the liquid crystal display panel, and a liquid crystal material disposed within the second outer perimeter of the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the first outer perimeter is greater than the second outer perimeter and at least one cavity space is formed between the first and second outer perimeters.

Claims (24)

1. A liquid crystal display panel device, comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel;

a sealing material disposed along a first outer perimeter of the liquid crystal display panel;

a removable barrier wall disposed along a second outer perimeter of the liquid crystal display panel; and

a liquid crystal material disposed within the second outer perimeter of the liquid crystal display panel,

wherein the first outer perimeter is greater than the second outer perimeter and at least one cavity space is formed between the first and second outer perimeters.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least cavity space includes a plurality of cavity spaces.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the removable barrier wall includes a plurality lateral portions contacting the sealing material to form the plurality of cavity spaces.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal panel includes a first substrate upon which a thin film transistor is formed, and a second substrate upon which a color filter is formed.

5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein the sealing material bonds the first substrate to the second substrate.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the removable barrier wall includes a material that can be melted by application of an ultrasonic wave to form a passageway into the at least one cavity space.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the removable barrier wall includes a material that can be melted by application of light to form a passageway into the at least one cavity space.

8. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display panel device, comprising steps of:

forming a sealing material disposed along a first outer perimeter of a liquid crystal display panel;

forming a removable barrier wall along a second outer perimeter of the liquid crystal display panel; and

forming a liquid crystal material within the liquid crystal display panel,

wherein the first outer perimeter is greater than the second outer perimeter.

9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising the step of forming at least one cavity space between the first and second outer perimeters.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the step of forming at least cavity space includes a step of forming a plurality of cavity spaces.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the step of forming a plurality of spaces includes a step of forming a plurality lateral barrier wall portions contacting the sealing material.

12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the liquid crystal panel includes a first substrate upon which a thin film transistor is formed, and a second substrate upon which a color filter is formed.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the sealing material bonds the first substrate to the second substrate.

14. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the removable barrier wall includes a material that can be melted by application of an ultrasonic wave to form a passageway into the at least one cavity space.

15. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the removable barrier wall includes a material that can be melted by application of light to form a passageway into the at least one cavity space.
