One substrate is supported by an attracting and adsorbing operation and by an
adhesive means provided inside a pressurizing plate; the other of substrate, on
which a liquid crystal agent is dropped, is supported on a table by an attracting
and adsorbing operation or by an adhesive means. Then, the pressure inside the
chamber is reduced until a designated reduced pressure level is attained, and the
pressure is increased after the substrates come firmly into contact with an adhesive
agent that has been provided on the other of substrates, so that the individual
substrates are attracted and adsorbed by the pressurizing plate and the table,
whereby the substrates are laminated while positioning the substrates. Then, by
retracting the adhesive means in the pressurizing plate or the table, the adhesive
member is removed from the substrate surface, while or after twisting the adhesive member.
