ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for photolithographically transferring, onto a plate-like member a pattern corresponding to picture elements of a liquid crystal display device and a pattern corresponding to driving circuits and so on, by use of a photomask. The surface of the plate-like member is divided into different areas and, each time one of the different areas of the plate-like member is subjected to the pattern transfer operation, the plate-like member is fed stepwise relative to an optical system provided to project an image of the photomask onto the plate-like member. At the same time, the range of the photomask pattern which is to be transferred onto the plate-like member is changed. By this, a portion of the picture-element pattern and a portion of the circuit pattern are transferred onto each of the different areas on the plate-like member, whereby a large-size pattern contributable to form a large-size display picture plane and a pattern contributable to form a control circuit for controlling the picture plane are transferred on the plate-like member.
