Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a sealant dispenser.
BACKGROUND ART [0002] Recently, a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), an electro wetting display device, a plasma display panel (PDP), and an electrophoretic display Display Device) are being developed.
Generally, two substrates facing each other are used as display devices. For example, a liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate on which a plurality of pixels are defined, a second substrate facing the first substrate, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.
The defined pixels of the first substrate include a thin film transistor connected to the pixel electrode and the pixel electrode, respectively. A common electrode is disposed on the second substrate. The arrangement of the liquid crystals of the liquid crystal layer is changed by the electric field formed by the data voltage applied to the pixel electrodes by the thin film transistors and the common voltage applied to the common electrode. The light transmittance is adjusted according to the arrangement of the changed liquid crystals to display an image.
The first substrate and the second substrate may be bonded together by a sealant (or sealant). The sealing material is formed of a compound containing a polymer resin. Further, the sealing material may be a thermosetting resin. A sealing pattern is formed on the substrate of either the first substrate or the second substrate using a sealing material. The sealing pattern is disposed around the display area where the image is displayed. The first and second substrates are bonded together by the sealing pattern, and the gap between the first substrate and the second substrate can be maintained. Since the space between the first and second substrates is sealed by the sealing pattern, the liquid crystal layer may not leak to the outside.
The sealing material is applied on the substrate by a so-called sealant dispenser. The sealant dispenser includes a nozzle for discharging the sealing material and a laser displacement sensor for measuring the distance between the nozzle and the substrate. According to the measured value of the laser displacement sensor, the interval between the nozzle and the substrate is controlled to be constant.
An object of the present invention is to provide a sealant dispenser capable of preventing defective sealing patterns.
A sealant dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate including display areas, a nozzle for continuously forming a seal pattern by discharging a sealant around the display areas, and a laser for emitting light onto the substrate, And a laser displacement sensor unit for measuring the distance between the nozzle and the substrate by receiving the laser beam, wherein the nozzle maintains a predetermined distance from the substrate in accordance with the measured value, Is disposed between the adjacent sealing patterns when the sealing patterns adjacent to each other between the adjacent display areas are formed.
The nozzle and the imaging point are not collinear in a first direction on a plane, and the distance between the nozzle and the imaging point in the first direction is formed to be 1 mm.
The nozzle and the imaging point are not arranged in a line on a plane in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and the distance between the nozzle and the imaging point in the second direction is formed to be 0.7 mm.
The distance between the center portions of the adjacent sealing patterns is 1.25 mm to 1.4 mm.
Each of the sealing patterns has a width of 0.15 mm to 0.35 mm.
The sealant dispenser of the present invention can prevent defective sealing patterns.

6, a first sealing pattern SL1 adjacent to the first display area DA1 is formed in the non-display area NDA between the adjacent first and second display areas DA1 and DA2, The second sealing pattern SL2 adjacent to the second display area DA2 is formed. Therefore, the second sealing pattern SL2 can be formed adjacent to the first sealing pattern SL1 between the first and second display areas DA1 and DA2.

Since the sealing material is discharged from the nozzle NOZ, the center portion of the nozzle NOZ corresponds to the center portion of the sealing patterns SL1 and SL2. Fig. 6 shows the position of the nozzle NOZ when the second sealing pattern SL2 is formed. Therefore, the center portion of the nozzle NOZ is shown to correspond to the center portion of the second sealing pattern SL2.

For example, the third distance D3 may be set to 1.25 mm, and the width W of the first and second sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 may be set to 0.35 mm.
In this case, the fourth distance D4 may be formed to 0.9 mm, the fifth distance D5 may be set to 0.175 mm, and the sixth distance D6 may be set to 1.075 mm. Accordingly, the coloring point L_S disposed at a distance of 1 mm from the nozzle NOZ in the first direction X1 can be disposed between the first and second sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 adjacent to each other.

Referring to Fig. 7, the distance between the nozzle NOZ and the fringing point L_S may be set to a seventh distance D7 which is longer than the first distance D1 shown in Figs.
The third distance D3 may be set to 1.25 mm with the minimum distance and the width W of the first and second sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 may be set to 0.35 mm with the maximum width. In this case, the fourth distance D4 may be formed to 0.9 mm, the fifth distance D5 may be set to 0.175 mm, and the sixth distance D6 may be set to 1.075 mm.
The seventh distance D7 is longer than the first distance D1, and may be set to 1.2 mm as an example. In this case, the position of the imaging point L_S may be disposed on the first sealing pattern SL1. Therefore, as described above, a phenomenon that the laser beam LB emitted from the laser
When the laser LB interferes with the adjacent first sealing pattern SL1, the gap between the substrate S and the nozzle NOZ can not be smoothly measured. Therefore, the distance between the substrate S and the nozzle NOZ can not be precisely adjusted, and the sealing pattern defect, which is outside the set range of the width and height of the sealing material, may occur.
However, the nozzle NOZ and the fusing point L_S of the
As a result, the
