Abstract
A system and method for advantageously forming an alignment film are provided. An anilox roll is operably engaged with a printing roll to print an alignment film onto a substrate, in one example including a liquid crystal display panel. Multiple rotations of the printing roll are used to provide efficiency and flexibility in printing a variety of alignment film patterns onto a variety of substrates.
