Liquid crystal display panel and method of manufacturing the same
View Patent ↗In one embodiment, a liquid crystal display panel includes an array substrate and a counter substrate each having a display region and a peripheral region arranged adjacent to the display region. A resin layer is formed either one of the array substrate and the counter substrate. A protrusion in the shape of a wall is arranged on the resin layer with a gap between the protrusion and the substrate opposing the protrusion. A seal material is formed between the array substrate and the counter substrate, and arranged between a peripheral portion of the display region and the protrusion for attaching the array substrate and the counter substrate. A liquid crystal layer is formed in a surrounded region by the array substrate, the counter substrate and the seal material.
1. A display device comprising:
a first substrate including a first side edge;
a second substrate including a second side edge;
a seal material formed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a resin portion arranged on the first substrate; and
a projection arranged on the resin portion with a first gap between the projection and the second substrate,
wherein
the resin portion having a third side edge and the projection having a fourth side edge,
the seal material is sandwiched between the projection and the liquid crystal layer, and the projection functions as a barrier, and
the first side edge, the second side edge, the third side edge and the fourth side edge are aligned in substantially the same plane.
2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first substrate and the second substrate are arranged opposite to each other, and
in a plan view, a width of the projection is smaller than a width of the resin portion.
3. The display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the resin portion is a part of a resin layer arranged on the first substrate,
the resin layer comprises a concave portion, and
at least a part of the seal material is accommodated in the concave portion.
4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein
the concave portion penetrates the resin layer.
5. The display device according to claim 3 , further comprising:
an insulating layer located between the first substrate and the resin portion,
wherein
in the plan view, the concave portion overlaps the insulating layer.
6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein
the concave portion penetrates the resin layer, and
the seal material is in contact with the insulating layer through the concave portion.
7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the resin portion is formed using a resin of light blocking effect.
8. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of spacers located in a display region and contacting both the first substrate and the second substrate,
wherein
the resin portion is a part of a resin layer arranged on the first substrate,
the resin layer comprises a concave portion,
the first substrate and the second substrate are arranged opposite to each other with a cell gap by the spacers in the display region, and
the first gap is smaller than the cell gap.
9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first side edge, the second side edge, the third side edge and the fourth side edge are aligned in a single plane.
10. A display device comprising:
a first substrate including a first side edge;
a second substrate including a second side edge;
a seal material formed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a resin portion arranged on the first substrate; and
a projection arranged on the resin portion with a first gap between the projection and the second substrate,
wherein
the resin portion has a third side edge and the projection has a fourth side edge,
the seal material is sandwiched between the projection and the liquid crystal layer, and the projection functions as a barrier, and
the first side edge, the second side edge, the third side edge and the fourth side edge are aligned in a single plane.
