Abstract: An apparatus for forming an alignment layer of a liquid crystal display device includes: an alignment material dropping unit with a head having a plurality of holes for dropping an alignment material on the substrate; an alignment material supply unit to supply the alignment material to the alignment material dropping unit; a scan unit to survey alignment material dropping from the head; and a monitor to display an image base upon scan data from the scan unit so that the discharge state of the plurality of holes in the head can be checked.

Abstract: A method for forming an alignment layer of a liquid crystal display device includes providing a substrate having a plurality of unit panels formed thereon, loading the substrate onto a stage, selectively dropping an alignment material onto a first one of the unit panel regions by an alignment material dropping unit having a plurality of heads, each of the heads having a plurality of holes arranged along a row at regularly-spaced interval distance d1, and forming an alignment layer on the substrate to have a uniform thickness.

Abstract: A method of forming an alignment layer for a liquid crystal display device including: attaching a transfer film on a printing roll, the transfer film including a convex portion having first-sized halftone dots and second-sized halftone dots; positioning a substrate on a printing table; providing aligning solution on an anilox roll using a doctor roll; and transferring the aligning solution on the anilox roll to the transfer film while moving the printing table and rotating the printing roll, and then coating the aligning solution on the substrate to thereby form an alignment layer on the substrate.

Abstract: A method for forming an alignment layer of a liquid crystal display device includes providing a substrate having a plurality of unit panels formed thereon, loading the substrate onto a stage, selectively dropping an alignment material onto unit panel areas by using an alignment material dropping unit having a plurality of heads, each of the plurality of heads having a plurality of holes, and removing the alignment material remaining on a surface of the holes using an alignment material removal unit connected to the alignment material dropping unit.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) device includes first and second substrates facing each other and having a display area and a non-display area, a sealant on a boundary between the display area and the non-display area to bond the first and second substrates, a first alignment layer on the display area of the first substrate, and a first dam in the display area of the first substrate inside the sealant to prevent spread of an alignment material of the first alignment layer.

Abstract: A method for forming an alignment layer of a liquid crystal display device includes: providing a substrate with a unit panel area; loading the substrate on a stage; selectively dropping an alignment material onto the unit panel area through an alignment material dropping unit having a head that has a plurality of holes through which the alignment material is dropped; and removing alignment material remaining about the holes of the alignment material dropping unit by an alignment material removing unit which scrapes the surface of the alignment material dropping unit having the holes therein.

Abstract: A device and method for forming an alignment layer of an LCD device are provided. In the device, a drying part is positioned vertically above a printing part, and an alignment layer is deposited on a substrate according to an inkjet method, so that it is possible to form the alignment layer on the substrate without relation to the size of the substrate. This improves the efficiency in using a clean room.

Abstract: An ultraviolet cleaning apparatus wherein a substrate is pre-heated prior to a conveyance of the substrate into the cleaning apparatus to thereby shorten the process time. In the apparatus, a substrate pre-heater pre-heats the substrate. An ultraviolet cleaner irradiates ultraviolet rays onto the substrate to remove the remaining substances on the substrate.
