Methods of manufacturing liquid crystal display devices
An LCD device and a method for manufacturing the same is disclosed, in which it is possible to correct a problem of insufficient or excessive supply of liquid crystal in an LCD device by controlling an amount of liquid crystal. The method includes preparing a liquid crystal cell comprised of a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates, and a first sealant formed in the periphery of the liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates; measuring an amount of liquid crystal provided to the inside of liquid crystal cell; forming an inlet for liquid crystal in the first sealant; and regulating the amount of liquid crystal by supplying or discharging the liquid crystal through the inlet; and sealing the inlet.
1. A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising:
providing first and second substrates;
dispensing liquid crystal on one of the first and second substrates;
dispensing sealant on one of the first and second substrates in a predetermined pattern;
bonding the first and second substrate together;
providing an inlet in the sealant;
determining whether the amount of liquid crystal between the two substrates is excessive or insufficient;
providing liquid crystal between the substrate if the amount determined is insufficient;
extracting liquid crystal by applying pressure to the substrates if the amount of liquid crystal is excessive;
cutting the substrate into one or more liquid crystal display panels, said cutting including cutting through a portion of the sealant; and
inspecting the liquid crystal display panel for optical defects.
