Abstract
Abstract A sealing structure of a liquid crystal injection holes in a liquid crystal display device, capable of injecting the liquid crystal from a plurality of liquid crystal injection holes into the inside of a liquid crystal cell enclosed by a sealant. The sealing structure of the liquid crystal injection holes is constructed so that each liquid crystal injection holes is linked by a drain of a sealant one to another, and the sealant has an opening portion which connects the inside of the cell with the outside, thus, making it possible to seal all the injection holes by filling the aforementioned drain with the sealing agent which is injected from one of the injection holes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A sealing structure of liquid crystal injection holes in a liquid crystal display device, comprising: a plurality of liquid crystal injection holes formed by printing a sealant on a substrate for injecting a liquid crystal into a liquid crystal cell inside enclosed by the sealant; a drain formed by printing the sealant on the substrate, by which a plurality of said liquid crystal injection holes communicate with each other; at least one opening portion formed by printing the sealant on the substrate, by which said drain communicates with said cell inside, said opening portion communicating with a plurality of said injection holes by said drain; and a sealing agent injected from one of said injection holes after said injecting of the liquid crystal for sealing a plurality of said injection holes and said drain.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A sealing structure of liquid crystal injection holes in a liquid crystal display device, comprising: a plurality of liquid crystal injection holes formed by printing a sealant on a substrate for injecting a liquid crystal into a liquid crystal cell inside enclosed by the sealant; a drain formed by printing the sealant on the substrate, by which a plurality of said liquid crystal injection holes communicate with each other; at least one opening portion formed by printing the sealant on the substrate, by which said drain communicates with said cell inside, said opening portion communicating with a plurality of said injection holes by said drain; and a sealing agent injected from one of said injection holes after said injecting of the liquid crystal for sealing a plurality of said injection holes and said drain.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A structure according to claim 1, wherein said drain is adapted in such a manner that said sealing agent injected from one of said injection holes can come out of said cell through the other of said injection holes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A structure according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a plurality of said liquid crystal injection holes are formed on an end of said cell, and a sealant block is disposed on an outside of said cell in respect to said opening portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
A structure according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a plurality of said liquid crystal injection holes are formed on an end face of said cell, and a sealant block is disposed on an inside of said cell in front of said opening portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
A structure according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a plurality of said liquid crystal injection holes are disposed on upper and lower substrates of said cell.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
A structure according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a part of said plurality of liquid crystal injection holes are formed on an end face of said cell, and the rest of said liquid crystal injection holes are disposed on upper and lower substrates of said cell.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
A structure according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a plurality of said liquid crystal injection holes are adapted in such a manner that the liquid crystal is injected therethrough simultaneously.
