Provided is a liquid crystal display in lateral-electric-field mode that improves faulty display resulting from static electricity without, in particular, degrading display quality or considerably increasing costs. A liquid crystal display in one aspect of the present invention includes the following: an array substrate and counter substrate processed into a thin plate that is less than 0.5 mm thick; a liquid crystal layer sealed between this pair of substrates; and an alignment film disposed on the counter substrate.

A column for defining the interval between a TFT substrate and an opposed substrate is formed at a crossing point between a drain line and a scanning line. At the crossing point where the column is formed, the drain line is formed to have a wider width to prevent light leakage. Further, at the crossing point where the column is formed, the scanning line is formed to have a narrower width to prevent increase of capacitance between the drain line and the scanning line. The column is formed at a crossing point corresponding to a specific color, e.g., a blue pixel B, so that a difference in transmittance and in characteristic of thin film transistors due to formation of the column is initially compensated.

At least one columnar spacer is formed on a first substrate. A height of the columnar spacer is measured. In order to provide a liquid crystal layer, liquid crystal is dropped onto any one of the first substrate and a second substrate with an amount of the liquid crystal determined based on a determination function dependent upon the height of the columnar spacer. The determination function is provided in advance in consideration of prevention of maldistribution the liquid crystal layer caused by temperature increase, prevention of generation of air bubbles inside a gap caused by temperature decrease, and satisfaction of an upper limit condition and a lower limit condition for a dimension of the gap required by optical properties of a liquid crystal panel.

A method of producing liquid crystal display panels includes a sealing material application step of applying sealing material on a first substrate to define regions, a vacuum assembling step of assembling a second substrate to the first substrate in a vacuum, an atmospheric pressure pressing step of pressing the first substrate and the second substrate under atmospheric pressure, an ultraviolet curing step of irradiating ultraviolet rays to the sealing material, a thermal curing step of heating the sealing material, a cutting step of cutting the assembled first and second substrates into pieces for each of the regions that are defined by the sealing material and forming pairs of substrates each of which including the region surrounded by the sealing material, and a liquid crystal injecting step of injecting liquid crystals. In the sealing material application step, the sealing material that defines the regions is applied in a closed loop form.

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal device having a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, and a sealing member formed in a peripheral portion of at least one of the substrates. The method includes forming the sealing member, disposing the liquid crystal layer inside the sealing member, and bonding the first substrate to the second substrate. In forming the sealing member, a ring-shaped portion that seals the liquid crystal layer inside the sealing member, a first sealing layer and a second sealing layer that face each other to be separated from each other are formed. In the bonding of the first substrate to the second substrate, a junction portion is formed in which the first and second sealing layers are pressed and joined outside the sealing member so as to form the ring-shaped portion.

The present disclosure provides a display panel and a display device, which can reduce damage to a frame sealant caused by impact of a photoelectric material on the frame sealant during cell-assembling of the display. The display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a frame sealant and a photoelectric material layer between them; the photoelectric material is in a liquid and flowing status, the photoelectric material layer is located in and covers a display region of the display panel, and the frame sealant is located in a non-display region of the display panel. The display panel further includes a blocking portion provided in the non-display region and at a side of the frame sealant near the display region for blocking the photoelectric material. The blocking portion includes a channel for shunting the photoelectric material so as to block impact of the photoelectric material on the frame sealant.

Provided is a liquid crystal display that achieves both reliability and a narrowed-down frame at a relatively high level. In a liquid crystal display according to an aspect of the present invention, alignment films are disposed on a surface of an array substrate and a surface of a counter substrate. The alignment films are each disposed in a display region and each have an overlap with part of the inside of a sealant. The surfaces of the substrates in the overlaps each have an uneven surface. All over an outer edge portion of the sealant, a portion is disposed in which the sealant is joined to the surfaces of the individual substrates without the alignment films interposed therebetween.
