The indicator includes at least one alignment mark formed at a gate pad unit and a data pad unit of a liquid crystal display panel, and at least one pattern for detecting a grinding amount between a first end portion of the gate pad unit and the alignment mark, and a second end portion of the data pad unit and the alignment mark.
Abstract:
A substrate bonding apparatus for a liquid crystal display device includes a vacuum processing chamber, a lower stage provided in an interior of the vacuum chamber, an upper stage provided in the interior of the vacuum chamber and having at least one first through hole, a stage moving system having a stage moving axis connected to one of the lower and upper stages, and a driving motor, and at least one first alignment system having one end provided in the interior of the vacuum chamber for aligning a first substrate and a second substrate.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal dispensing apparatus and a method of controlling a liquid crystal dropping amount are provided to drop liquid crystal onto a substrate corresponding to at least one unit panel area. In one aspect, the apparatus uses a liquid crystal dispensing unit to dispense liquid crystal. The liquid crystal dispensing unit includes a nozzle having a discharging hole through which the liquid crystal is dropped onto the substrate, a needle moveable between a down position in which the needle blocks the discharging hole and an up position in which the needle is separated from the discharging hole, a spring member to bias the needle toward the down position, and a solenoid coil to provide a magnetic force to move the needle to the up position. The dropping amount liquid crystal dispensing unit may be electrically controlled by controlling the solenoid coil or by controlling a gas pressure used to drive the liquid crystal through the discharging hole. Variations and errors in the dropping amount may also be compensated by an automated compensation of the electric power to the solenoid and/or the gas pressure.
Abstract:
A method and system are used for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device such that a dispensing amount of liquid crystal is measured. The method includes steps of filling liquid crystal into a case portion of a liquid crystal dispenser, assembling the liquid crystal dispenser to set the case portion into the liquid crystal dispenser, setting the liquid crystal dispenser in a testing apparatus, testing dispensing characteristics of the liquid crystal dispenser, mounting the liquid crystal dispenser on a liquid crystal dispensing unit of a production line after the testing the dispensing characteristics, dispensing the liquid crystal from the liquid crystal dispenser onto a first substrate of the liquid crystal display device disposed beneath the mounted liquid crystal dispenser, and assembling the first substrate with a second substrate to form a liquid crystal display device. By testing dispensing characteristics of the liquid crystal dispenser, it can be determined whether the liquid crystal dispenser is assembled correctly.
Abstract:
A mask holder for irradiating UV-rays is disclosed in the present invention. The mask holder includes a lower part having a frame and a mask supporting member supporting a mask, wherein the mask supporting member is in the frame and has a plurality of first connecting portions, and an upper part having a plurality of second connecting portions to be aligned with the first connecting portions.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device including forming a UV-hardening sealant on at least one of the first and second substrates, dropping a liquid crystal on one of the first and second substrates, attaching the first and second substrates to each other, aligning at least one mask with the attached substrates so as to expose only an area having the sealant formed thereon, and hardening the UV-hardening sealant by applying UV-rays through the mask to the attached substrates.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal dispensing apparatus dispenses liquid crystal onto a substrate. The apparatus includes a liquid crystal container and a nozzle. The liquid crystal container contains the liquid crystal to be dispensed onto the substrate, and the nozzle is disposed on a lower portion of the liquid crystal container. The nozzle has a main body portion, a discharging portion that projects from a lower surface of the main body portion to dispense liquid crystal, and a protecting portion that projects from the lower surface of the main body portion to protect the dispensing portion. The protecting portion projects from the lower surface of the main body portion at least as much as the discharging portion.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a data transmission apparatus and method to lower a data transmission voltage for eliminating EMI. In the data driving apparatus, a timing controller aligns input pixel data, lowers input data voltages of the input pixel data, and outputs to a plurality of data transmission lines. A data driver raises the lowered input data voltages for driving the liquid crystal display panel and then converts into analog pixel voltage signals to supply the analog pixel voltage signals to the data lines.
