1. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal panel, comprising the steps of:
placing a sealing agent on a surface of a first substrate in a form of an enclosure;
introducing liquid crystal on said first substrate in a region enclosed by said sealing agent or on a second substrate in a region corresponding to said region located on said first substrate enclosed by said sealing agent;
sticking said first substrate and said second substrate together to form a substrate formed of said first substrate and said second substrate;
sticking a polarizing plate on at least one of said first substrate and said second substrate so said substrate includes the polarizer plate on at least one of said first substrate and said second substrate; and
after said sticking, dividing said substrate with the polarizer plate(s) thereon to have a geometry providing a plurality of liquid crystal panels, each of the provided plurality of liquid crystal panels thus having the polarizer plate on at least one of said first substrate and said second substrate.
