Abstract
In a sealant dispenser and a method of sealing a display panel using the sealant dispenser, the sealant dispenser includes a tracking part, a nozzle part and a body. The tracking part tracks a tracking line on a base substrate, the base substrate is divided into a display area and a non-display area. The nozzle part is spaced apart from the tracking part, and injects a sealant from an end portion of the nozzle part and forms a seal line on the base substrate at a same time the tracking part tracks the tracking line. The tracking part and the nozzle part are mounted on the body.
Claims20
A sealant dispenser comprising:
- a body;
- a tracking part on the body, wherein the tracking part tracks a tracking line on a base substrate of a display panel, the base substrate comprising a display area and a non-display area;
- and
- a nozzle part on the body and spaced apart from the tracking part, wherein the nozzle part injects a sealant from an end portion thereof and onto the base substrate, at a same time the tracking part tracks the tracking line, the injected sealant defining a seal line on the base substrate.
A method of sealing a display panel, the method comprising:
- providing a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other;
- tracking a tracking line on the first substrate or the second substrate, and at a same time, forming a seal line spaced apart from the tracking line by a predetermined distance on the first substrate or the second substrate, respectively, using a sealant dispenser;
- combining the first substrate with the second substrate;
- and
- providing a liquid crystal between the first and second substrates.
