Description of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for fabricating a liquid crystal display (LCD), and more particularly to a liquid crystal injection port of a liquid crystal display. Sealing method. LCD display has the advantages of high image quality, small size, light weight, low voltage drive, low power consumption and wide application range. It is widely used in medium and small portable TVs, mobile phones, video recorders, and notebooks. Consumer electronics or computer products such as computers, desktop displays, and projection TVs have gradually replaced cathode ray tubes (CRTs) as the mainstream of displays. Generally, the main body of the liquid crystal display is a liquid crystal cell, which is mainly composed of two transparent substrates and a liquid crystal sealed between the substrates. At present, the liquid crystal display is mainly a thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display, and the general thin film transistor liquid crystal display can be roughly divided into three parts: a thin film transistor array (TFT Array) process, a liquid crystal display unit. Assembly (LC Cell Assembly) process, liquid crystal display module (Liquid Crystal Module, LCM) process. The liquid crystal display unit assembly process is to assemble a substrate on which the thin film transistor array process is completed, and then inject a liquid crystal material into a liquid crystal cell formed by the substrate and the gap thereof, and then seal the injection port of the liquid crystal cell to complete the liquid crystal display unit. Production. Referring to Figs. 1A to 1D, there is shown a conventional method of sealing a liquid crystal cell inlet. As shown in FIG. 1A, a liquid crystal display panel 102 composed of a substrate 100 having a thin film transistor array and a corresponding electrode, respectively, has a modification date of 93.3.25 〇6〇66 twfl on the substrate 100 1253531 constituting the display panel 102. After the gap of doc/006 is injected into the liquid crystal material l〇4, the liquid crystal injection port l〇6 must be closed to seal the liquid crystal material in the liquid crystal cell. The ultraviolet glue (ie, uv glue) i〇8 used for the sealing is stored in a tank (not shown) and is pushed by a gas so that the ultraviolet glue 108 is passed through the nozzle 110 by the nozzle (Nozzle). The 112 is continuously discharged to seal the injection port 1〇6 of the liquid crystal cell. Referring to FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C, when the coating material is sealed, a swinging nozzle (Swing Nozzle) is generally used, that is, the liquid crystal display panel 102 is fixed, and the nozzle IK is 8 on a plane. The glyph movement causes the ultraviolet glue 108 flowing out of the nozzle 112 to be uniformly applied to the liquid crystal injection port 106 to seal it. The arrows in Figs. 1B and 1C are the moving directions of the nozzles 112, and the curves in Fig. 1B are the moving trajectories of the nozzles 112. However, since the nozzle 112 is in a figure-eight motion, the ultraviolet glue 108 overflows from both sides of the liquid crystal display panel 102, and other mechanisms must be used to allow the nozzle to perform a figure-eight motion. Since the glue is applied for sealing by means of a shaking nozzle, an overflow phenomenon occurs at the side and the vicinity of the liquid crystal inlet, and in order to avoid affecting other subsequent production steps, the excess glue must be removed. Please refer to FIG. 1D', which is a schematic view of a squeegee process for removing excess glue from the periphery of the liquid crystal injection port. As shown in Fig. 1D, the 'ultraviolet light gel 1 〇 8 is applied to the liquid crystal injection port 106 of the panel 102 by a nozzle in a figure-eight motion to seal it, and there is excess residual glue near the injection port 106. The squeegee process is performed using the cutter 114, and the excess glue l8a on both sides of the panel 102 is scraped off by the two blades 116 on the cutter 114 to prevent the residual glue from affecting the subsequent process of the liquid crystal display panel. 1253531 〇6066twfl.d〇c/006 Revision date 93.3.25 However, the above-mentioned method of sealing the liquid crystal injection port 'must with other additional mechanisms to shake the nozzle to make a figure-eight motion, resulting in the use of sealed liquid crystal injection D The structure of the device is complicated. Furthermore, applying the glue material by the shaking nozzle method may cause an overflow phenomenon near the liquid crystal injection port, and the squeegee step must be performed to remove the excess glue material, thereby preventing the residual glue from being bad for the subsequent process and the quality and performance of the liquid crystal display panel. influences. Therefore, such conventional sealing methods must use more complicated mechanisms and increase process steps, resulting in lower production efficiency, poor product yield, and increased production costs. Therefore, the present invention provides a method for sealing a liquid crystal injection port of a liquid crystal display. The non-contact method is used to seal the liquid crystal injection port with a glued stick (Pin), which can control the amount of glue required for sealing, prevent the occurrence of glue overflow, and avoid sealing glue. Material waste, and no other shaking mechanism is required. Moreover, this method can prevent excessive glue from being used when the glue is sealed, and the residual glue is prevented from affecting the subsequent process, and the step of removing the excess glue is not required. By applying the sealing method of the invention, the sealing process of the liquid crystal injection port can be simplified, the production efficiency can be increased, the product yield can be improved, and the rubber material required for sealing can be saved, and the production cost can be reduced. According to the above and other objects of the present invention, a method for sealing a liquid crystal injection port of a liquid crystal display is provided. First, a liquid crystal display panel comprising a substrate having a thin film transistor array and a corresponding electrode is provided, and the liquid crystal display panel has a substrate. a liquid crystal cell formed by the gap therebetween, and the liquid crystal cell is filled with the liquid crystal material; then one end of the stick is dipped into the glue container to make it adhere to an appropriate amount of the glue; then the stick is moved to the liquid crystal display panel, and The glue on the stick is in direct contact with the liquid crystal injection port, and a sealing glue is formed on the liquid crystal injection port to cover it, and the stick is not connected with the liquid crystal injection port 1253531 06066twfl.doc/006 correction date 93.3.25 touch; The sealing material is cured to complete the sealing of the liquid crystal injection port.

As shown in step 200 in Fig. 2, and referring to Fig. 3A at the same time, the liquid crystal display panel 302 is first provided and fixed. The liquid crystal display panel 302 is composed of a first substrate 300a having a thin film transistor array and a second substrate 300b having a corresponding electrode. The thin film transistor array on the first substrate 300a is opposite to the electrode on the second substrate 300b. correspond. The liquid crystal cell 304 is formed by a gap between the first substrate 300a and the second substrate 300b, and the liquid crystal material 306 is injected through the liquid crystal injection port 3?8 of the liquid crystal display panel 302 and filled with the liquid crystal cell 304. Next, referring to step 202 and FIG. 3B in FIG. 2, one end of the stick 310 is immersed in the glue container 312 containing the sealing glue 314, so that an appropriate amount of the glue 314 required for the sealing is attached to the stick 310. One end. The rubber material container 312 includes a glue tank or a disc which can hold the rubber material, and the sealing material 314 contained in the plastic material container 312 can be made of a heat curing type glue (for example, 1253531 06066twfl.doc/006) Date 93.3.25, such as AB glue), UV-curable adhesive (such as UV glue), etc., the preferred material of the sealed adhesive 314 is UV-curable adhesive. Next, referring to step 204 and FIG. 3C in FIG. 2, the dipstick 310 is moved to the liquid crystal injection port 308 of the liquid crystal display panel 302, so that the glue 3 14 at one end of the dipstick 3 10 and the liquid crystal injection port are opened. The 308 is in direct contact, and then the dipstick 310 is removed. By the adhesion between the adhesive 314 and the liquid crystal display panel 302, a sealant 316 is formed on the liquid crystal injection port 308 to completely cover it. When the glue 314 is in contact with the liquid crystal injection port 308, the dipstick 310 is not in contact with the liquid crystal injection port 308. This is a non-contact process, that is, the dipstick 310 is not in contact with the liquid crystal display panel 302. The material of the sealing material 316 is the material of the rubber material 314, and the material thereof may include a heat curing type rubber (for example, AB glue), an ultraviolet curing type glue (for example, UV glue), etc., and the sealing material 316 is preferably made of ultraviolet material. Light curing adhesive. . Then, referring to steps 206 and 3D in FIG. 2, after sealing the liquid crystal injection port 308 on the display panel 302 with the sealing material 3 16 , the sealing material 316 is cured, and the liquid crystal injection port of the liquid crystal display is used. Completely sealed. If the material of the sealant 316 is a UV-curable adhesive, the sealant 3 I6 is irradiated with ultraviolet light to cure it; if the sealant 3 16 is a heat-curable adhesive, hot baking can be performed. The thermosetting glue is cured or it is naturally hardened. Therefore, the liquid crystal injection port sealing method of the liquid crystal display proposed by the present invention is a pin transfer method using a pin transfer method (Pin Transfer Method), which is a non-contact type process in which only the sealed glue is in contact with the liquid crystal injection port. The amount of glue required to seal the liquid crystal injection port, and the amount of glue attached to the stick 10 1053531 06066twf 1 .doc/006 correction date 93.3.25 can be immersed by using a different shape of the stick The depth of the glue and/or the distance between the stick and the liquid crystal injection port during sealing are controlled. Therefore, by the adhesion between the glue material and the liquid crystal display panel, the sealing glue is formed to cover the liquid crystal injection port to seal it, and the glue leakage phenomenon is not generated, the waste of the sealing glue material can be avoided, and no additional need is required. Squeegee process. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the invention does not require a mechanism for shaking the nozzle, and does not need to perform a squeegee process of the residual glue, which can simplify the sealing process of the liquid crystal injection port, improve production efficiency, and improve product yield. It can save the amount of glue required for sealing and reduce the production cost. While the invention has been described above by way of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the invention, and the invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of protection is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application.
