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.

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.

3 is a front view showing a state in which the front surface of the laser displacement sensor unit shown in FIG. 1 is viewed. In FIG. 3, only parts of the laser displacement sensor unit 60 and the syringe SYR, the connection pipe CNE and the nozzle NOZ are shown for convenience of explanation. The syringe SYR is not shown in the drawings so that the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion of the laser displacement sensor portion 60 can be seen.

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the positions of the nozzle and the painting point shown in FIG. 3. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 4, the nozzles NOZ and the imaging points L_S are not collinearly arranged in the first direction X1. In addition, the distance between the nozzle NOZ and the imaging point L_S in the first direction X1 may be defined as the first distance D1. As an exemplary embodiment, the first distance D1 may be set to 1 mm.

The nozzles NOZ and the imaging points L_S are not arranged in the same direction in the second direction X2. In addition, the distance between the nozzle NOZ and the imaging point L_S in the second direction X2 may be defined as a second distance D2. As an exemplary embodiment, the second distance D2 may be set to 0.7 mm.

FIG. 5 is a view showing a sealing pattern formed on a substrate using the sealant dispense shown in FIG. 1. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 5, the substrate S includes a plurality of display areas DA1 and DA2 and a non-display area NDA between the display areas DA. Although two display areas DA1 and DA2 are shown in Fig. 5, the substrate S may include more display areas than this. As an exemplary embodiment, the substrate S shown in Fig. 5 may be any one of two substrates used in a liquid crystal display.

The sealant dispenser 100 can form the sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 by continuously discharging the sealing material around the display areas DA1 and DA2 while moving in the arrow direction shown in Fig. That is, the nozzle NOZ of the sealant dispenser 100 can continuously form the sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 by discharging the sealing material around the display areas DA1 and DA2. The sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 may also be defined as a seal line.

Although not shown, the sealant dispenser 100 moves in the direction opposite to the arrow shown in Fig. 5 and can discharge the sealing material onto the substrate S. In such a case, the sealant dispenser 100 shown in Fig. 1 may be rotated 180 degrees in a plane, and disposed opposite to the position shown in Fig.

The display areas DA1 and DA2 include a first display area DA1 and a second display area DA2. The sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 include a first sealing pattern SL1 formed around the first display area DA1 and a second sealing pattern SL2 formed around the second display area DA2.

6 is an enlarged view of the first area A1 shown in Fig. 6 shows the positions of the sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 adjacent to each other in the first region A1 and the positions of the nozzles NOZ and the imaging point L_P when the sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 are formed.

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.

When the first and second sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 adjacent to each other are formed between the first display area DA1 and the second display area DA2 adjacent to each other, 2 sealing patterns SL1 and SL2.

Specifically, the width W of the first sealing pattern SL1 and the width W of the second sealing pattern SL2 can be set to be the same. The width W of the first and second sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 may be set to 0.15 mm to 0.35 mm.

As described above, the first distance D1 between the nozzle NOZ and the imaging point L_S in the first direction X1 can be set to 1 mm. In addition, the second distance D2 between the nozzle NOZ and the imaging point L_S in the second direction X2 may be set to 0.7 mm.

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.

The distance between the center of the first sealing pattern SL1 adjacent to the center and the center of the second sealing pattern SL2 can be defined as the third distance D3. The third distance D3 may be set to 1.25 mm to 1.4 mm.

The distance between the interface of the first sealing pattern SL1 adjacent to each other and the interface between the second sealing pattern SL2 may be defined as the fourth distance D4. The distance from the center of the second sealing pattern SL2 to the interface of the second sealing pattern SL2 or the distance from the center of the nozzle NOZ to the interface of the second sealing pattern SL2 is defined as the fifth distance D5 . The distance between the right boundary surface of the first sealing pattern SL1 and the center portion of the nozzle NOZ can be defined as a sixth distance D6.

The third distance D3 may be set to the minimum distance and the width W of the first and second sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 may be set to the maximum width. 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.

When the distance between the nozzle NOZ and the imaging point L_S is set larger than the first distance D1 in the first direction X1, the imaging point of the laser LB that emits light from the laser displacement sensor unit 60 L_S may be placed on the first sealing pattern SL1. In this case, when the second sealing pattern SL2 is formed, a phenomenon that the laser LB emitted from the laser displacement sensor unit 60 interferes with the first sealing pattern SL1 adjacent to the second sealing pattern SL2 .

The distance between the substrate S and the nozzle NOZ can not be smoothly measured when the laser LB emitted from the laser displacement sensor unit 60 interferes with the adjacent first sealing pattern SL1. Therefore, the gap between the substrate S and the nozzle NOZ can not be precisely controlled in the process of applying the sealing material onto the substrate S, and thus the sealing pattern defects may be caused such that the width, height, have.

However, the nozzle NOZ and the fusing point L_S of the sealant dispenser 100 of the present invention have a first distance D1. Accordingly, when the adjacent first and second sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 are formed, the imaging point L_S can be disposed between the adjacent first and second sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 .

The first distance D1 is set so that the laser LB emitted from the laser displacement sensor unit 60 has a distance that does not interfere with the adjacent first sealing pattern SL1. Since the laser LB does not interfere with the adjacent first sealing pattern SL1, the occurrence of the sealing pattern defect can be prevented.

As a result, the sealant dispenser 100 of the present invention can prevent the seal pattern defect.

7 is a view showing a case where the distance between the nozzle and the painting point in the first direction is set longer than the first distance.

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 displacement sensor unit 60 interferes with the first sealing pattern SL1 may occur.

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 sealant dispenser 100 of the present invention have a first distance D1. Accordingly, when the adjacent first and second sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 are formed, the imaging point L_S can be disposed between the adjacent first and second sealing patterns SL1 and SL2 . Therefore, since the laser LB does not interfere with the adjacent first sealing pattern SL1, the occurrence of the sealing pattern defect can be prevented.

As a result, the sealant dispenser 100 of the present invention can prevent the seal pattern defect.
