Method of manufacturing multi-layered liquid crystal using wells for columns and dissolvable layers between liquid crystal layers

Claim 1

A method of manufacturing a multi-layered liquid crystal for a liquid crystal display device in which an electric-field effect type liquid crystal layer is placed between opposing upper and lower electrodes, a plurality of insulating layers which divide said liquid crystal layer into a plurality of layers are alternately stacked with said liquid crystal layer, and columns for maintaining the distance between said electric insulating layers are provided therebetween, said method comprising the steps of: forming a dissolvable layer which provides a space for filling said liquid crystal and has wells for forming said columns; coating an insulating material on said dissolvable layer, so as to form said columns of said insulating material filling said wells and an insulating layer which is integrated with said columns and formed on said dissolvable layer by a predetermined thickness; alternatively and repeatedly performing said steps of forming said dissolvable layer and insulating layer so as to obtain a multi-layered stack made up of a dissolvable layer/insulating layer; forming a multitude of liquid-crystal injecting wells of a predetermined diameter in said stack and removing said dissolvable layer through said liquid-crystal injecting wells so as to form cavities between said insulating layers; and injecting liquid crystal into said cavities through said liquid-crystal injecting wells so as to form a liquid crystal layer.
