  • Patent number: 8922757
    Abstract: A photo-alignment apparatus is provided, which includes an exposure machine, at least one mask and a photo-alignment area. The exposure machine includes a light source, a polarization plate, and a multilayer splitter. The light source emits an unpolarized light. The polarization plate receives the unpolarized light and converts the unpolarized light into a polarized light. The multilayer splitter split the polarized light into a first light beam and a second light beam. The mask includes at least two transmission portions which allow the first and second light beams to be transmitted therethrough and be projected onto the photo-alignment area for exposure thereto.
