Discharging excessive liquid crystal in a liquid crystal display device

1. A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device having first and second substrates, comprising:

deploying a sealing member on said first substrate, said sealing member forming a perimeter encircling a display area of said liquid crystal display device;

delivering at least one drop of liquid crystal on one of said first and said second substrates within said perimeter of said sealing member;

placing said second substrate on said sealing member, wherein said first and said second substrates sandwich said sealing member and are aligned to each other;

after delivering the at least one drop of liquid crystal and after placing said second substrate on said sealing member, breaking an opening in the sealing member;

discharging any excessive liquid crystal trapped within said perimeter out of said liquid crystal display device through said opening; and

plugging said opening to enclose an amount of liquid crystal within said perimeter.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein deploying said sealing member comprises deploying said sealing member formed of a radiation hardened material.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said plugging is implemented using a radiation hardened material.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

forming a matrix of color filters on a surface of one of said first and said second substrates; and

forming a matrix of thin-film transistors on a surface of the other of said first and said second substrates.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

forming a matrix of color filters of a color-filter-on-array type on a surface of one of said first and said second substrates; and

forming a common electrode on a surface of the other of said first and said second substrates.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

forming a spacer on a surface of one of said first and said second substrates.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein forming said spacer is part of forming a matrix of spacers.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein a population density of the spacers is approximately 0.15% to 2% of an overall liquid crystal display area.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said breaking the opening in the sealing member is achieved by laser beam.

10. A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device having first and second substrates, comprising:

deploying a sealing member on said first substrate, wherein said sealing member comprises:

a first portion on a periphery of the liquid crystal display device; and

a second portion forming a channel;

wherein one end of said channel is sealed by said first portion and the other end of said channel is open;

delivering at least one drop of liquid crystal on one of said first and said second substrates within said sealing member;

placing said second substrate on said sealing member, wherein said first and said second substrates sandwich said sealing member;

breaking said sealed end of the second portion of said sealing member to form an opening;

discharging any excessive liquid crystal trapped within said sealing member out of said liquid crystal display device through said opening; and

plugging said opening to enclose an amount of liquid crystal within said sealing member.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein deploying said sealing member comprises deploying said sealing member formed of a radiation hardened material.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein said plugging is implemented using a radiation hardened material.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

forming a matrix of color filters on a surface of one of said first and said second substrates; and

forming a matrix of thin-film transistors on a surface of the other of said first and said second substrates.

14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

forming a matrix of color filters of a color-filter-on-array type on a surface of one of said first and said second substrates; and

forming a common electrode on a surface of the other of said first and said second substrates.

15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

forming a spacer on a surface of one of said first and said second substrates.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein forming the spacer is part of forming a matrix of regularly-populated spacers.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein a population density of the spacers is approximately 0.15% to 2% of an overall liquid crystal display area.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein said breaking the sealed end to form the opening is achieved by laser beam.
