Ferroelectric liquid crystal display with seal larger than cell gap plus half color filter thickness and 1.2-5mm from filter edge

Claim 1

A liquid crystal color-display panel, comprising: a substrate which bears thereon a color filter having thereon a passivation layer, said passivation layer having thereon a first electrode: another substrate which bears thereon a second electrode intersecting the first electrode so as to form a pixel area at the intersecting area; and a liquid crystal being disposed between said substrates at a film thickness of 1-2 μm in said pixel area, wherein: said substrates are mutually adhered so as to form different cell gaps in said pixel area and in the peripheral area, the diameter T of a first gap-retaining material contained in sealant provided in the peripheral area satisfies a relationship: t.sub.1 +(t.sub.2 /2)≦T in which t 1 is the cell gap of the pixel area and t 2 is the thickness of said color filter, a second gap-retaining material is provided in a space between said pixel area and a sealed portion of the peripheral area, and an edge portion of the color filter is extended to a position of a distance of 1.2-5 mm from a position at the sealed portion of the peripheral area.
