Abstract:
1. An in-line system for manufacturing liquid crystal displays, comprising: a first loading unit; a substrate-combination unit operatively connected to the first load unit, the substrate-combination unit adapted to receive a first substrate from the first load unit and adapted to receive a second substrate having at least one of a sealant and a liquid crystal material deposited thereon; a plurality of in-line convey units; and a substrate-attaching unit adapted to receive the first substrate and the second substrate from the substrate-combination unit via one of the in-line convey units and to conjoin the substrates in a vacuum state, wherein the substrate-attaching unit comprises: a plurality of vacuum chambers, a substrate-attaching vacuum chamber, and a plurality of connecting units, wherein the vacuum chambers are arranged in parallel between the substrate-combination unit and the substrate-attaching vacuum chamber and wherein each of the vacuum chambers is connected to the substrate-combination unit via one the plurality of in-line convey units and to the substrate-attaching vacuum chamber via one of the plurality of connecting units, and wherein the substrate-attaching vacuum chamber comprises: a first compression plate and a second compression plate supporting the two substrates and applying a predetermined force toward each other; and an exposure unit hardening the sealant.
