Patent ID: 7773192

Claim:
A system for manufacturing liquid crystal displays having two panels, at least one panel of the two panels having a liquid crystal cell area for fabricating a liquid crystal cell, and a cell gap measuring pattern formed outside of the liquid crystal cell area, the system comprising: a sealant-applying unit for depositing a sealant on one of the two panels; a liquid crystal depositing unit for depositing liquid crystal material on the liquid crystal cell area and the cell gap measuring pattern; a substrate-attaching unit for receiving the two panels from the sealant-applying unit or the liquid crystal depositing unit, and conjoining the panels so as to generate spread areas resulting from an increase in an area of the two panels covered by the deposited liquid crystal material upon the conjoining; and a cell gap measuring unit for determining a cell gap between the two panels according to the spread areas of liquid crystal material deposited on the cell gap measuring pattern.
