Abstract
Abstract A liquid crystal display panel in which a liquid crystal composition is held between a pair of transparent substrates and the peripheral edges of both the substrates are sealed with a sealing material comprising (a) a partially esterified epoxy (meth)acrylate resin where 10-90% of an equivalent of the epoxy group of a bisphenol A type epoxy resin is (meth)acrylated, (b) a photopolymerization initiator, and (c) a thermosetting agent; and a sealing material for the liquid crystal display panel comprising the above-mentioned components (a), (b) and (c).
