Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising: supplying a first substrate and a second substrate separately into a single fabrication system; forming an alignment layer on the first and second substrates separately in a first unit; dispensing liquid crystal material onto one of the first substrate and the second substrate in a second unit; coating a sealant material on one of the first substrate and the second substrate in a third unit; maintaining one of the first and second substrates between the neighboring units of the first unit, the second unit, the third unit, a fourth unit, and a fifth unit using buffer lines disposed between each neighboring units while the other of the first and second substrates is processed in the corresponding units in order to synchronize the first and second substrates; bonding the first and second substrates together in the fourth unit; and separating the bonded first and second substrates into a plurality of liquid crystal display cells in the fifth unit, the first, second, third, fourth and fifth units being physically connected along a single fabrication line of the fabrication system.
