Board device and liquid crystal display device
View Patent ↗Main body groove portions are formed along the longitudinal direction on the surface of a spacer height adjusting layer provided on a margin area of a large-size glass substrate. The cross-sectional area between seal materials between image display areas is increased. An air discharge efficiency from the inside of the image display area between the large-size glass substrates can be enhanced. The air discharge from the inside of the imaged is play area can be further reliably and readily performed. Liquid crystal composition can be readily injected from a liquid crystal injection port into the image display area. The time required to inject the liquid crystal into the image display area can be shortened. The productivity of liquid crystal panels can be enhanced.
1. A board device comprising:
a first substrate;
a second substrate arranged in counterposition to the first substrate;
a plurality of seal materials that surround a partial area between the first substrate and the second substrate and bond the first substrate and the second substrate to each other;
a height adjusting layer provided between the plurality of seal materials between the first substrate and the second substrate; and
a spacer that is provided on one principal surface of the height adjusting layer and keeps the interval between the first substrate and the second substrate,
wherein
the height adjusting layer is provided with recess-shaped main body groove portions extending along a longitudinal direction of the seal materials;
the seal material has opening portions for providing openings between the first substrate and the second substrate covered by the seal material; and
recess-shaped opening groove portions radially expanding in the opening direction of the opening portions are provided on the portions of the height adjusting layer in counterposition to the opening portions.
2. The board device according to claim 1 , wherein the main body groove portions are provided to a part of the seal material adjacent to the height adjusting layer provided with the main body groove portions parallel to each other.
3. The board device according to claim 1 , further comprising a colored layer provided on one principal surface of any one of the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein
the height adjusting layer comprises the colored layer.
4. The board device according to claim 1 , further comprising a colored layer provided on one principal surface of any one of the first substrate and the second substrate,
wherein the height adjusting layer is formed of the same material as the colored layer and simultaneously provided in the same process.
5. The board device according to claim 1 , further comprising a colored layer provided on one principal surface of any one of the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein
the height adjusting layer is provided at the same thickness as the colored layer.
6. The board device according to claim 1 , wherein
the seal material has opening portions for providing openings between the first substrate and the second substrate covered by the seal material, and
recess-shaped opening groove portions extending along an opening direction of the opening portions are provided on the portions of the height adjusting layer in counterposition to the opening portions.
7. The board device according to claim 1 , wherein the opening groove portions are provided to intercommunicate with the inside of an area surrounded by the seal material.
8. The board device according to claim 1 , wherein the opening groove portions are provided to intercommunicate with the inside of an area surrounded by the seal material.
9. A liquid crystal display device comprising: the board device of claim 1 , wherein the first substrate comprises a translucent substrate and a plurality of pixels provided in a matrix form on the translucent substrate; the second substrate is arranged in counterposition to the translucent substrate and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate of the board device.
