Abstract

A liquid-crystal droplet accreting onto an alignment layer spreads in a wet state but the diameter of the liquid-crystal droplet does not become greater than a certain size. When the diameter of the liquid-crystal droplet in that state is represented by Dmax and is defined as the largest wet-spread diameter of the liquid-crystal droplet, the liquid-crystal droplet is dropped on a substrate such that the spacing I between the drop center C of the liquid-crystal droplet and the inner edge of the sealant (the edge of the sealant close to a display area) is greater than half of the largest wet-spread diameter Dmax of the liquid-crystal droplet.
