Patent ID: 7670637

Claim:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, the method comprising: providing a first substrate and a second substrate on a table; providing a slit nozzle unit having a slit nozzle on the table; providing a pre-discharging device on one side of the table so that pre-discharging is performed by the slit nozzle when coating starts first or after coating is completed; uniformly applying a coating solution on the first substrate and the second substrate, respectively, using the slit nozzle comprising left and right bodies, an inlet port on the left and right bodies to receive the coating solution, a discharge port below the left and right bodies to apply the coating solution and an elastic body, wherein the left and right bodies are composed of a first external nozzle body and a second external nozzle body and a first internal nozzle body and a second internal nozzle body, respectively, wherein the left and right bodies are coupled with each other by a plurality of bolts so that a distance between left and right internal bodies is controlled by tightening and loosening the bolts wherein top and bottom bolts are separately controlled to effectively control the distance between the left and right internal bodies from top to bottom and wherein the elastic body is inserted between the internal nozzle bodies and the external nozzle bodies where the bolts are provided to uniformly maintain the distance between the internal nozzle bodies and the external nozzle bodies and control a gap between the left and right bodies while the bolts to proceed and recede; forming a thin film transistor pattern and a color filter pattern on the first substrate and the second substrate, respectively, using a photolithography process; and attaching the first substrate and the second substrate to each other.
