Liquid crystal display having sealant observation windows
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display includes: a first substrate and a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer filling between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a plurality of sealant observation windows arranged on the second substrate, wherein each sealant observation windows is an enclosed pattern formed by smooth curve; and a sealant covering a portion of sealant observation windows and surrounding the liquid crystal layer to bond the first substrate and the second substrate. In the present invention, those sealant observation windows can avoid the condition of unequal cell gap and increase the convenience of monitoring the spreading condition of the sealant.
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:
a first substrate and a second substrate;
a liquid crystal layer filled between said first substrate and said second substrate;
a layer having a plurality of sealant observation windows on said second substrate, wherein each of said sealant observation windows is an enclosed pattern with a smooth curve, wherein an index pattern is disposed near each of said sealant observation windows, the index pattern has a plurality of scale patterns arranged along a direction, and the plurality of scale patterns of the index pattern respectively align to different parts of each of the sealant observation windows; and
a sealant covering a portion of said sealant observation windows and surrounding said liquid crystal layer to bond said first substrate and said second substrate, wherein a gap between the adjacent scale patterns is suitable for evaluating a shift value of the sealant.
2. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein said sealant observation windows expose a portion of said second substrate.
3. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein said layer having said sealant observation windows is a metal layer.
4. The liquid crystal display according to claim 3 , wherein said metal layer is used to form a plurality of sources and drains.
5. The liquid crystal display according to claim 3 , wherein said metal layer is used to form a plurality of gate electrodes and said sources and drains.
6. The liquid crystal display according to claim 3 , wherein said metal layer is used to form a plurality of gate electrodes.
7. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein said enclosed pattern of each said sealant observation windows is a circle.
8. The liquid crystal display according to claim 7 , wherein the gap between two adjacent scale patterns is smaller than a diameter of the sealant observation windows.
9. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein said enclosed pattern of each said sealant observation windows is an ellipse.
10. The liquid crystal display according to claim 9 , wherein the gap between two adjacent scale patterns is smaller than a major radius or a minor radius of the sealant observation windows.
11. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein said sealant observation windows are arranged in a plurality of columns, a portion of said sealant observation windows arranged in odd columns are aligned along a row direction, and another portion of said sealant observation windows arranged in even columns are aligned along a row direction.
12. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein the sealant has spacers therein, and parts of the spacers are uniformly accumulated in an inner rim of the sealant observation windows.
