Patent attributes
Provided are a manufacturing method which can efficiently manufacture a display device with higher image quality, and a manufacturing apparatus which can be applied to the manufacturing method. Position adjustment is carried out so that a seal pattern (4) formed on at least one of a bottom substrate (2) and a top substrate (7) and having a shape along an outer edge of each of a plurality of display panels (1) coincides with a projected portion pattern (27) (29) formed on at least one of a pair of parallel surfaces (19S) (20S) in a bottom surface plate (19) and a top surface plate (20) and having a planar shape corresponding to the seal pattern (4), and pressure is applied to the bottom substrate (2) and the top substrate (7) in a Z direction by the bottom surface plate (19) and the top surface plate (20). Therefore, a gap between the bottom substrate (2) and the top substrate (7) in an effective screen area (3) can be formed more uniformly, and a display device with higher image quality can be efficiently manufactured.
