Patent ID: 8064021

Claim:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device comprising: coating an alignment layer on a substrate; rubbing the alignment layer along a first direction; preparing a light illuminating unit having an anisotropic structure to generate light having an anisotropic illuminance distribution; transmitting light having an anisotropic illuminance distribution from the light illuminating unit to a polarizing device to generate polarized light; and irradiating polarized light from the polarizing device onto the alignment layer, wherein the light illuminating unit includes a light source generating a light, and an optical device providing the generated light to the polarizing device, wherein the optical device comprises a condensing mirror condensing the generated light, a first reflective mirror reflecting the condensed light, a fly eye lens spreading the reflected light, a second reflective mirror re-reflecting the spreaded light, and a collimator lens condensing the re-reflecting light, wherein the light source is disposed at a inclination relative to the condensing mirror or the collimating lens is disposed to be inclined with respect to an optical axis of an incident light, wherein the polarized light has a polarization direction substantially the same as the first direction, wherein the light from the light source is partially polarized by the optical device, the partially polarized light has an anisotropic illuminance distribution by the inclination of the light source, wherein the partially polarized light is supplied to the polarizing device.
