Patent ID: 8451415

Claim:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, the method comprising: a first step of attaching a polarizing plate to an outer surface of a liquid crystal panel; a second step of attaching a tape carrier package (TCP) to the liquid crystal panel; a third step of coating a resin onto a rear surface of the TCP and a connection portion of the liquid crystal panel and the TCP; a fourth step of inspecting the TCP and the liquid crystal display panel; a fifth step of inserting the liquid crystal panel into a clean box; a sixth step of transferring the clean box; a seventh step of extracting the liquid crystal panel from the clean box; a eighth step of attaching the TCP to a printed circuit board (PCB); a ninth step of inspecting the PCB, the TCP and the liquid crystal panel; a tenth step of assembling the liquid crystal panel and a backlight unit with a plurality of frames; an eleventh step of forming the liquid crystal panel; and a twelfth step of inspecting the liquid crystal panel before the first step, wherein the first to fifth steps are performed in a first module process line having a first degree of cleanliness, wherein the sixth to tenth steps are performed in a second module process line having a second degree of cleanliness lower than the first degree of cleanliness, and wherein the eleventh and twelfth steps are performed in a panel process line having a third degree of cleanliness higher than the first degree of cleanliness.
