Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of liquid crystal cell, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-14157, a liquid crystal injection port is provided in a part of a pair of electrode substrates stacked with a seal therebetween. , One of the electrode substrates is made larger so as to extend from the liquid crystal injection port side than the other electrode substrate, and a liquid crystal spread prevention wall is arranged on the extended portion in the vicinity of the liquid crystal injection port. There is one configured like this. Here, the spread preventing wall is integrally formed by printing the same material as the seal when screen-printing the seal.

す。By the way, in order to improve productivity, the liquid crystal cell is generally manufactured by taking a large number of pieces. Therefore, the present inventor tried to manufacture the liquid crystal cell having the above-described structure, taking a case of taking two liquid crystal cells as an example.
First, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the alignment films 1a and 2a are formed on the inner surfaces of the large-sized substrates 1 and 2 made of a glass material, respectively, through a plurality of unillustrated electrodes. Then, firing rubbing treatment is applied to these alignment films.

一体に形成される。Next, the spacers 3 are spread over the entire inner surface of the upper large-sized substrate 1 (see FIG. 12). on the other hand,
On the inner surface of the lower large-sized substrate 2, a seal 4 is screen-printed along the outer periphery of the alignment film 2a with a thermosetting epoxy resin adhesive in a strip shape (see FIG. 13). Here, in the seal 4, a double spread preventing wall 4a is integrally formed on the inner surface of the lower large-sized substrate 2 at a portion corresponding to the liquid crystal inlet of the liquid crystal cell.

1、2を分断して、図16にて示す液晶セルとする。Next, the large substrates 1 and 2 on both the upper and lower sides are shown in FIG.
Then, the seal 4 is cured by superimposing it as shown in FIG. After that, in order to realize the final shape of the liquid crystal cell, a dividing line is added to the outer surface of the upper large-sized substrate 1 by a scribe process as shown by a chain double-dashed line in FIG. On the other hand, a dividing line is formed on the outer surface of the lower large-sized substrate 2 at the center in the left-right direction. Next, the large substrates 1 and 2 on both upper and lower sides are divided along this dividing line to form the liquid crystal cell shown in FIG.

符号1bにより示すごとく残ってしまう。However, in such a liquid crystal cell,
Since the seal 4 adheres to the inner surface of the upper large-sized substrate 1 when the seal 4 cures as described above, each spread prevention wall 4a also adheres to the inner surface of the upper large-sized substrate 1. Therefore, in the above dividing process, even if an attempt is made to divide the portion of the upper large-sized substrate 1 shown by the diagonal lines in FIG. 15 across each spread preventing wall 4a along the dividing line, The bonded portion is not divided and remains as shown by reference numeral 1b in FIG.
【0007】このため、液晶セルとしての外観を損なう

FT型液晶セルの場合には約5μmであり、また、ST
N型或いはTN型液晶セルの場合には約5〜10μmで
ある。Therefore, not only the appearance of the liquid crystal cell is impaired, but also the liquid crystal cannot be properly injected. Even if the substrates can be separated, the gap between the upper and lower large substrates 1 and 2 after the upper and lower large substrates 1 and 2 are overlapped and the seal 4 is cured is about 2 to 10.
It is in the range of μm. For example, the gap is about 2 μm in the case of FLC type or AFLC type liquid crystal cell, and
In the case of FT type liquid crystal cell, it is about 5 μm, and ST
In the case of an N type or TN type liquid crystal cell, it is about 5 to 10 μm.

用しなければならないという不具合が生ずる。Therefore, the height of each expansion preventing wall 4a is also limited to a low value of about 2 to 10 μm. Therefore, even if the liquid crystal is dropped between the spread prevention walls 4a and is injected from the liquid crystal injection port (indicated by reference numeral 5 in FIG. 13),
When the amount of dropping is large, it flows over the spread preventing wall 4a to the outside. On the other hand, if the dropping amount is small, bubbles are mixed with the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal cell. For this reason, there is a problem that a device with high dropping accuracy must be adopted.

合が生ずる。On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 17, it may be considered that the upper large-sized substrate 1 is preliminarily made into a dimensional shape in which the hatched portion in FIG. 15 is divided, and then superposed on the lower large-sized substrate 2. However, the seal 4 printed as described above
As it is, the printing height of each spread prevention wall 4a is usually
It reaches only 10 to 30 μm. Therefore, each of the spread prevention walls 4a does not serve as a prevention wall, and if the liquid crystal is dropped and injected between them, the same problem as described above occurs.

A body is formed to extend from each end of the seal. By forming the spread prevention wall separately from the seal in this way, the spread prevention wall can be formed on the extension plate portion.
It can be performed after the liquid crystal cell shape is divided. For this reason, the final shape of the liquid crystal cell can be appropriately divided and formed without causing a dividing defect that occurs when the spread prevention wall is formed simultaneously with the seal.

In addition, as described above, the dividing failure does not occur, so that the appearance of the liquid crystal cell is not spoiled. Further, according to the liquid crystal injection structure of the liquid crystal cell according to the second aspect, the dropped liquid crystal is retained between the spread prevention walls without increasing the accuracy of the amount of the liquid crystal dropped between the spread prevention walls. be able to. Therefore, the liquid crystal can be injected into the liquid crystal-filled space from the liquid crystal injection port without flowing out beyond the spread prevention wall. Further, the expansion preventing wall does not project outward from the other electrode substrate.

Since it is formed thicker than the thickness of the liquid crystal, the dropped liquid crystal does not spread over the spread preventing wall 50 to the outside,
Retain between the spread prevention walls 50. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the liquid crystal dropping accuracy, and the liquid crystal dropping amount may be adjusted to the extent that bubbles are not mixed into the liquid crystal cell. Further, since the height of each spread prevention wall 50 is set so as not to exceed the plate thickness of the lower large-sized substrate 2, each spread prevention wall 50 does not project from the surface of the upper substrate 10.
