Abstract:
An apparatus for fabricating a liquid crystal display includes a vessel for containing a material for a spacer, an ink-jet head for jetting the material onto a plate and a light source for pre-curing the material by radiating light onto the material as the material is jetted from the ink-jet head. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display includes the steps of aligning an ink-jet device relative to at least one of an upper plate and a lower plate, jetting a material for a spacer from the ink-jet device and pre-curing the material by irradiating the material with light while the material is jetted from the ink-system before the material impacts upon the at least one of the upper plate and a lower plate.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device includes an upper substrate, a lower substrate, a liquid crystal layer between the upper and lower substrates, a transparent electrode consisting of at least two layers of transparent material provided on at least one of the upper and lower substrates and a spacer material jetted onto the transparent electrode by an ink-jet system, wherein the spacer material has a hydrostatic property different from one of the at least two layers of the transparent electrode.
Abstract:
An apparatus for fabricating a liquid crystal display panel includes a vessel for containing a spacer material, an ink-jet device for jetting the spacer material across a space onto a substrate; and a heater for heating the ink-jet device. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display panel includes the steps of aligning an ink-jet device filled with a spacer material relative to a substrate of a liquid crystal display device, jetting the spacer material from the ink-jet device across a space onto the substrate and heating the spacer material before the spacer material is jetted from the ink-jet device.
