Spacers are fixed to non-display regions to a liquid crystal display element substrate and the compression displacement ratio of the spacer for the load of a compression stress of 0.5 - 0.6 GPa is 0.001 - 1 mu m/mN. In a liquid crystal display which comprises two liquid crystal display element substrates and a liquid crystal layer held between the two substrates, at least one of the two substrates is a liquid crystal display element substrate which is above described. With this constitution, sufficient cell gaps can be realized and uniform cell gaps can be maintained in the screen and the problems of the degradation of the display quality caused by the variation of the cell gaps and the generation of foams at low temperature can be solved. The above described liquid crystal display element substrate and the liquid crystal display employing it are applied to the display screen of a personal computer, a word processor, an engineering work station, a navigation system, a liquid crystal television, a video tape player, etc. and are preferably used for a liquid crystal projection, etc.. Further, in the fields of optical communication and optical information processing, they can be suitably employed as a space modulation element using liquid crystal.
摘要:
A coating method and a coating apparatus which is suitable for stably forming a coating on the surface of a flat sheet member, and a method of manufacturing coated sheets such as a color filter. The coating method comprises the steps of supplying a coating liquid to a coating liquid discharging apparatus having a coating liquid discharging slit by means of a coating liquid feeder, relatively moving at least either the coating liquid discharging apparatus or a member to be coated and forming a coating having a predetermined thickness on the member. A coating start portion of the member is stopped at a place at which it opposes the coating liquid discharging slit of the coating liquid discharging apparatus, and discharge of the coating liquid from the coating liquid discharging slit is started. After a coating liquid bead which is in touch with both of the front end opening of the coating liquid discharging slit and the coating start portion of the member is formed, relative movement of at least either the coating liquid discharging apparatus or the member is started. By the coating method, discharge of the coating liquid is started when the member stops relative to the coating liquid discharging slit, and after the formation of the coating liquid bead is confirmed, the member is relatively moved in a state that the coating liquid bead remains stable. Therefore, the coating start position can be correctly determined, and a coating can be formed highly accurately.
