Abstract

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device includes: providing first and second substrates having a plurality of unit cell regions; forming a plurality of main seal patterns on the first substrate, each main seal pattern having an injection; forming an auxiliary seal pattern on the first substrate, the auxiliary seal pattern surrounding the plurality of main seal patterns and having at least one open portion; attaching the first substrate to the second substrate; providing an adhesive at the at least one open portion; and etching the first and second substrates, wherein a viscosity of the adhesive is within a range of about 5 to 100 centipoises (cP).

Claims (14)

1. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

providing first and second substrates having a plurality of unit cell regions;

forming a plurality of main seal patterns on the first substrate, each main seal pattern having an injection hole;

forming an auxiliary seal pattern on the first substrate, the auxiliary seal pattern surrounding the plurality of main seal patterns and having at least one open portion two open portions;

attaching the first substrate to the second substrate;

forming an adhesive at the at least two open portions of the auxiliary seal pattern and between at least one of the plurality of main seals and the auxiliary seal pattern, wherein the entire adhesive is formed in an area inside an at least one of the two open portions of the auxiliary seal pattern with no adhesive located outside the auxiliary seal pattern and spaced apart from and not touching the at least one of the plurality of main seals and is in contact with a portion of an inner wall of the auxiliary seal pattern on both sides of the at least one open portion, and wherein the adhesive is formed between the first and second substrates without vacancy to completely seal the at least two open portions;

uniformly etching outer surfaces of the first and second substrates having the adhesive to uniformly reduce a thickness of the first and second substrate; and

cutting the attached substrates into a plurality of unit cells after etching the attached substrates,

wherein a viscosity of the adhesive is within a range of about 40 to about 45 centi-poises (cP), and the adhesive protects the unit cells during the etching.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive includes a material of cyanoacrylate group.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein etching the first and second substrates includes dipping the first and second substrates into a bath having an etching solution.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the etching solution includes hydrofluoric acid (HF).

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising injecting liquid crystal into each of the unit cells.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the main seal patterns corresponds to the unit cell.
