ABSTRACT:
When a liquid crystal cell is filled with smectic liquid crystal, first, smectic liquid crystal having an isotropic phase is supplied into the liquid crystal cell under a first pressure. Then, smectic liquid crystal having a smectic phase is further supplied into the liquid crystal cell under a second pressure higher than the first pressure. Accordingly, even if smectic liquid crystal having the isotropic phase and held in the liquid crystal cell is changed into the smectic phase to cause volumetric shrinkage thereof, an amount of smectic liquid crystal reduced by the volumetric shrinkage can be compensated by supplying smectic liquid crystal into the liquid crystal cell under the second pressure. As a result, the liquid crystal cell can be securely prevented from having vacancies therein.
