Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing a liquid crystal display includes a unitary vacuum processing chamber having a substrate entrance, a loader part to load first and second substrates through the substrate entrance, one of the first and second substrates having a liquid crystal material disposed thereupon, upper and lower stages disposed within the vacuum processing chamber for affixing the first and second substrates, a stage moving system for providing relative movement between the upper and lower stages, and a vacuum generating system for evacuating an interior of the vacuum processing chamber.
Claims15
A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of:
- loading first and second substrates through a substrate entrance of a unitary vacuum processing chamber using first and second arms, one of the first and second substrates having a liquid crystal material disposed thereupon;
- providing relative movement between upper and lower stages;
- evacuating an interior of the vacuum processing chamber;
- and
- bonding the first and second substrates together with the liquid crystal material disposed therebetween,
- wherein the first arm places one of the first and second substrates onto a surface of the lower stage and the second arm places the other of the first and second substrates onto a surface of the upper stage, and
- wherein one of said arms crosses over the other of said arms in placing its respective substrate.
