Patent ID: 7336337

Claim:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising: forming a thin film transistor array on an active area of a first substrate and a metal pattern including a UV-ray irradiation path passing UV-rays at a circumference of the active area; forming a color filter array on a second substrate; forming a sealant at the periphery of the active area of one of the first and second substrates to pass the UV-ray irradiation path, wherein the UV-ray irradiation path extends substantially the length of the metal pattern and extends to the same direction as the length of the sealant to expose the sealant; bonding the first and second substrates to each other after overturning the second substrate to dispose over the first substrate; and applying UV-ray to the sealant from a side of the first substrate through the UV-ray irradiation path to harden the sealant.
