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.
