  • Publication number: 20100157297
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) device testing apparatus that comprises a stage configured in an air-floating structure to feed a liquid crystal panel including combined upper and lower substrates, a backlight unit configured to include a light source for an emission of light disposed under the stage, a protective film formed to encompass and protect the light source, and a lower polarizing plate formed on the protective film to firstly polarize light emitted from the light source in a fixed axis direction, an upper polarizing plate separated from the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel by a fixed distance to secondarily polarize light from the liquid crystal panel in the fixed axis direction; and a charge couple device (CCD) camera disposed on the upper polarizing plate to scan an image on the liquid crystal panel using light secondarily polarized by the upper polarizing plate.

  • Patent number: 7724346
    Abstract: A method for adjusting an amount of liquid crystal in a liquid crystal display (LCD) device includes injecting a liquid crystal into a liquid crystal receiving space. The liquid crystal receiving space is disposed between a first substrate, a second substrate that faces the first substrate, and a sealing member interposed between the first and second substrates. The method for adjusting an amount of liquid crystal in an LCD device further includes irradiating a light to a portion of the sealing member while varying an irradiating angle of the light so as to form a repair region at the sealing member that has a thickness smaller than that of the sealing member. The method for adjusting an amount of liquid crystal in an LCD device also comprises pressurizing the liquid crystal to form an opening in the repair region of the sealing member and discharge some of the liquid crystal from the liquid crystal receiving space through the opening formed in the repair region, and sealing the opening of the repair region.

  • Publication number: 20090279045
    Abstract: An LCD device and a method for manufacturing the same is disclosed, in which it is possible to correct a problem of insufficient or excessive supply of liquid crystal in an LCD device by controlling an amount of liquid crystal. The method includes preparing a liquid crystal cell comprised of a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates, and a first sealant formed in the periphery of the liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates; measuring an amount of liquid crystal provided to the inside of liquid crystal cell; forming an inlet for liquid crystal in the first sealant; and regulating the amount of liquid crystal by supplying or discharging the liquid crystal through the inlet; and sealing the inlet.

  • Patent number: 7616286
    Abstract: A method of forming a spacer using an ink jet system and a method of fabricating a liquid crystal display panel using the same are to remarkably prevent generation of stains that result from a difference of spacer density between two adjacent heads in a border region of the heads, when a spacer is formed on the substrate surface by using an ink jet system, by forming a spacer pattern in a comb-teeth shape by providing a predetermined amount of overlapping between the two heads, and randomly and alternately spraying an organic material used solution for the spacer through nozzles of the heads.
