Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a pair of substrates and guide patterns provided at a periphery of one substrate of the pair of substrates. The guide patterns include a first projection, a second projection on the first projection, a pair of third projections provided on each side of the first and second projections, and a pair of fourth projections formed on the pair of third projections respectively. A seal material is provided on the guide patterns and covering at least one of the first projection and the second projection, and a liquid crystal layer is provided in an area partitioned by the pair of substrates and the seal material.

Claims (11)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a pair of substrates;

guide patterns provided at a periphery of one substrate of the pair of substrates and comprising a central pattern comprising a first projection and two second projections on the first projection, and a pair of side patterns provided on both sides of the central pattern, each of the side patterns comprising a third projection and a fourth projection formed on the third projection;

a seal material provided on the guide patterns and covering at least the first projection and the second projections; and

a liquid crystal layer provided in an area partitioned by the pair of substrates and the seal material.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a flattening film on the one substrate.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a spacer on the one substrate, the spacer being configured to control a distance between the substrates.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising

a flattening film on the one substrate; and

a spacer on the one substrate, the spacer being configured to control a distance between the substrates,

wherein formation of the first projection is carried out with formation of the flattening film, and formation of the second projection is carried out with formation of the spacer.
