Patent ID: 7436483

Claim:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising: calculating a total dropping amount of liquid crystal for a liquid crystal display panel; calculating a dropping pattern, the dropping pattern including a sequence of calculated dropping positions that define a dispensing shape, a sequence of pitch distances and pitch directions between adjacent calculated dropping positions within the dispensing shape, and a calculated single dropping amount corresponding to each of the calculated dropping positions; applying the total dropping amount of the liquid crystal as drops onto a first substrate by dropping at the calculated dropping positions an amount of liquid crystal in response to the respective calculated single dropping amount for each respective dropping position so that the total amount of liquid crystal dropped at the calculated dropping positions is substantially equal to the total dropping amount; forming a main UV hardening sealant onto a second substrate; attaching the first and second substrates; hardening the main UV hardening sealant; cutting the attached substrates into a unit cell; inspecting the unit cell; and grinding the unit cell, wherein calculating the dropping pattern includes calculating the pitch distances between dropping amounts according to the spreading characteristic of the liquid crystal such that the dropped liquid crystal does not spread to contact the main UV hardening sealant upon attaching the first and second substrates and prior to hardening the main UV hardening sealant and so that the liquid crystal dropped at each calculated dropping location spreads to contact liquid crystal dropped at another of the sequence of calculated dropping positions prior to attaching the first and second substrates.
