Abstract: A system that forms an alignment layer of a liquid crystal device has an applicator that applies an alignment layer of material on a substrate, a magnetic field generator that applies a magnetic field to directionally align the alignment layer material, and a firing device to fire the directionally aligned material.

Abstract: An apparatus for fabricating a flat panel display device includes a substrate on which a picture display section is formed and a stage on which the substrate is loaded. A dispenser applies a sealant along an outer line of the picture display section in the substrate. A light detector emits light toward the sealant and detects the amount of reflected light in real-time. A controller detects broken lines in the sealant in accordance with a signal supplied from the light detector and controls the dispenser so as to re-apply the sealant to spaces in the broken line in which the sealant is not present.

Abstract: A heat curing device includes supports positioned in a chamber to support a substrate, the supports having sections, and protrusion structures formed on the sections of the supports to contact a dummy area of the substrate, wherein the supports may be rotated with respect to a horizontal axis. The sections of the supports may have a polygonal structure with the protrusion structures are formed on the polygonal sections of the supports, so that a plurality of protrusion structure patterns can be formed on one support. Since the supports are rotatable, the protrusion structure patterns supporting a substrate may be readily changed.

Abstract: An LCD device and a method for manufacturing the same is disclosed, to prevent a sealant from being coagulated or disconnected at a predetermined portion, the method comprising preparing lower and upper substrates; dispensing a sealant on any one of the lower and upper substrates by a dispenser; dispensing liquid crystal on any one of the lower and upper substrates; and bonding the lower and upper substrates to each other, wherein the process of dispensing the sealant includes sequential steps of dispensing a first dummy sealant in the periphery of a main sealant pattern, dispensing the main sealant pattern after forming the first dummy sealant, and dispensing a second dummy sealant pattern in the periphery of the main sealant pattern after forming the main sealant pattern.
