Abstract
A substrate conveyance device for fabricating a liquid crystal display device is provided. The substrate conveyance device conveys substrates and aligns substrates without using an additional aligning apparatus. The substrate conveyance device includes an arm that forms a body of the substrate conveyance device, a hand and a mover. The hand, that is movable in a first direction, includes a first end coupled with the arm and an upper surface where a substrate is placed on the upper surface. The hand also has a holder which holds a dummy portion which is at an edge of the substrate. The mover is configured to move the hand.

A substrate conveyance device for fabricating a liquid crystal display device comprising:
- an arm that forms a body of the substrate conveyance device;
- a first and second hands, respectively, including a first end coupled with the arm, wherein the first hand is movable in a first direction;
- an upper surface, wherein a substrate is placed on the upper surface;
- and a first holder that holds a dummy portion at a front edge of the substrate;
- a first mover configured to move the first and the second hands;
- and
- a pair of outer hands at opposite outermost positions of the arm for holding dummy portions at opposite edges of the substrate, wherein the pair of outer hands is movable in opposite directions which are vertical to the first direction,
- wherein the first hand and the second hand are disposed between the outer hands;
- wherein the first mover includes:
- a first guide that guides movement of the first hand;
- a first actuator that moves the first hand;
- a second guide that guides movement of the second hand;
- and
- a second actuator that moves the second hand.
