Abstract:
A liquid crystal material dispensing apparatus includes a spacer height measuring unit for measuring a height of a spacer on a substrate, and a liquid crystal material dispensing system for determining an amount of the liquid crystal material to be dispensed on the substrate based upon the measured spacer height and for dispensing the liquid crystal material onto the substrate.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal dispensing apparatus dispenses liquid crystal onto a substrate. The liquid crystal dispensing apparatus includes a frame, a table, at least one liquid crystal discharge device, and a liquid crystal amount inspecting portion. The table is installed on the frame to have the substrate to be mounted thereon. The liquid crystal discharge device adjustably discharges an amount of liquid crystal, and the liquid crystal amount inspecting portion inspects a liquid crystal dispensing amount by comparing an actual amount of liquid crystal discharged from the liquid crystal discharge device with a preset liquid crystal amount. The liquid crystal discharge device includes a piston to perform ascending motions to draw in the liquid crystal and descending motions to discharge the liquid crystal with an angle of at least a portion of the liquid crystal discharge device determining a magnitude of the ascending/descending motion to control an amount of liquid crystal discharged.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal dispensing apparatus includes a container to contain liquid crystal, a discharge pump, and a nozzle to dispense liquid crystal from the discharge pump onto a substrate. The discharge pump has a separably formed case, a cylinder received in the case, a piston inserted into the cylinder and having a groove at a lower portion such that the piston draws in and discharges liquid crystal by rotating and moving up-down, and a suction opening and a discharge opening through which liquid crystal is to be respectively drawn in and discharged as the piston is moved.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal dispensing system includes a liquid crystal material container to contain liquid crystal, the liquid crystal material container provided with a first code corresponding to liquid crystal information; a reading unit to read the recognition code; a discharge pump to draw in and discharge liquid crystal from the liquid crystal material container; and a nozzle to dispense liquid crystal from the discharge pump onto a substrate.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal dispensing apparatus for dispensing liquid crystal onto a substrate includes a liquid crystal container, a nozzle structure, and a valve structure. The liquid crystal container contains the liquid crystal to be dispensed. The nozzle structure is disposed at a lower portion of the liquid crystal container, and the liquid crystal is dispensed through the nozzle structure onto the substrate. The valve structure is disposed to control flow of the liquid crystal from the liquid crystal container to the nozzle structure in accordance with a gas pressure provided from a gas input of the liquid crystal container. The liquid crystal container may be formed of substantially entirely of metal. An inside surface of the liquid crystal container may include a fluorine resin.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal dispensing system includes a container, a discharge pump, a nozzle, and a control unit. The discharge pump draws in and discharges liquid crystal that is contained in the container. The nozzle dispenses the liquid crystal discharged from the discharge pump onto a substrate. The control unit determines a dispensing amount of liquid crystal based on a spacer height formed at the substrate and to control the discharge pump in order to dispense the determined amount of liquid crystal onto the substrate.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal dispensing apparatus includes a liquid crystal material container, a nozzle positioned at a lower portion of the liquid crystal container and having at least one groove formed at an exterior surface thereof, and a valve system for transmitting liquid crystal material from the liquid crystal material container to the nozzle by a gas pressure supplied to the liquid crystal material container.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal dispensing apparatus includes a liquid crystal material container filled with liquid crystal material a gas supply at an upper portion of the liquid crystal material container for pressurizing the liquid crystal material with gas, a needle seat positioned at a lower portion of the liquid crystal material container and having a discharge hole for discharging the liquid crystal material of the liquid crystal material container, a needle having first and second ends positioned within the liquid crystal material container to be movable along upward and downward directions, a first spring positioned at a first end of the needle, a solenoid coil positioned at the upper portion of the liquid crystal material container, a magnetic bar positioned adjacent to the first end of the needle within the solenoid coil for moving the needle along the upward direction by generating a magnetic force when power is applied to the solenoid coil, a second spring positioned around the magnetic bar within the magnetic coil, and a nozzle positioned at the lower portion of the liquid crystal material container for dispensing the liquid crystal material from the liquid crystal material container onto a surface of a substrate.
