Liquid crystal display and light irradiating apparatus therefor
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display panel comprising:
- an insulating substrate;
a plurality of signal lines provided on the substrate; and
a plurality of signal pads connected to the signal lines for receiving signals from an external device, wherein the distance between the signal lines near the signal pads is one to ten times as large as the width of the signal lines.

Abstract
A liquid crystal device includes panels disposed opposite each other along a major surface, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the panels, a sealant disposed between the panels for confining the liquid crystal layer, a display area defined within the liquid crystal layer, a fan out area adjacent to the display area, and signal lines overlapped by the sealant in the fan out area where the distance between adjacent signal lines is one to ten times as large as the width of the signal lines; and a corresponding method for curing a liquid crystal device includes supporting the liquid crystal device, emitting light for curing the sealant, and redirecting the emitted light towards at least one surface of the liquid crystal device.

9. A light irradiating apparatus for a liquid crystal display, comprising:
-
a light-emitting member;
a supporting member disposed relative to the light-emitting member for supporting a liquid crystal display including two opposite panels and a photo curable sealant formed between the two panels; and
a light path-changing member disposed relative to the light-emitting member for changing the travel direction of light emitted from the light-emitting member, the light path-changing member arranged so that the light path-changing member is disposed relative to at least one of a top, a bottom and a lateral side of the liquid crystal display. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
