A method of manufacturing a polymer dispersed liquid crystal, PDLC, film, the method comprising: forming a region of liquid polymer (206) on a substrate (212); depositing one or more liquid crystal, LC, formulations (214) into the liquid polymer; and thereafter curing (234) the liquid polymer (206) to thereby induce phase separation between the polymer (206) and the liquid crystal formulations (214), resulting in PDLC pixels (236) which are phase separated from the surrounding, cured polymer—thereby producing a PDLC film.

A method for filling liquid crystal cells (40) with a medium (30) comprising at least one liquid crystalline material. In the method at least one liquid crystal cell (40) is placed inside a vacuum chamber (12), the vacuum chamber is evacuated, at least one fill opening (46) of the at least one liquid crystal cell (40) is contacted with the medium, and the pressure in the vacuum chamber is raised causing the medium to fill the cavity inside the liquid crystal cell. A signal indicating the amount of oxygen remaining inside the vacuum chamber is provided by an oxygen sensor (20) mounted inside the vacuum chamber and completion of the evacuation of the vacuum chamber is determined based on said signal. Further disclosed is an apparatus for carrying out the process.

A carrier substrate to be used, when manufacturing a member for an electronic device on a surface of a substrate, by being bonded to the substrate, includes at least a first glass substrate. The first glass substrate has a compaction described below of 80 ppm or less. Compaction is a shrinkage in a case of subjecting the first glass substrate to a temperature raising from a room temperature at 100° C./hour and to a heat treatment at 600° C. for 80 minutes, and then to a cooling to the room temperature at 100° C./hour.

This application discloses a lookup table creation method, a display panel manufacturing method, and a display device. The lookup table creation method includes: forming different photoresist layers; baking the photoresist layers; measuring the film thicknesses of the photoresist layers to acquire a curve chart of film thickness varying with time; and creating a lookup table according to the curve chart.

The invention provides a method of preparing a display panel and a coating apparatus. The method includes a base substrate arrangement step, a frame sealant layer preparation step, a liquid crystal layer preparation step, a color filter substrate bonding step, a curing step, and a cutting step. The frame sealant layer preparation step includes: a coating step, applying a liquid sealant to a periphery of each of array substrates; and a pre-curing step, performing a pre-curing to the liquid sealant by a curing light source to form the frame sealant layer. The coating apparatus includes a support frame, a nozzle, and a curing light source. The technical effect of the present invention is to prevent the flexible frame sealant layer from damage when relieving the vacuum, thereby avoiding scrapping of the display panel and improving yield of the display panel.

A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal sandwiched between the substrates, and a display region. A hole portion is formed in the display region. A first seal portion is formed to surround the display region. A second seal portion is formed to surround the hole portion. The first and the second seal portions seal the liquid crystal. The second seal portion has a first end portion on the liquid crystal side and a second end portion on the opposite side of the liquid crystal side. A sealing material is present in the first end portion. A sealing material is present in the second end portion. A wall-like spacer is formed between the first and the second end portions to surround the hole portion. The wall-like spacer defines the gap between the first and the second substrates.
