Abstract

In an apparatus and a method for correcting a grinding amount of a unit liquid crystal display panel, by grinding an edge of a unit liquid crystal display panel; generating grinding pictures of the unit liquid crystal display panel; calculating an error value by comparing the grinding pictures with a reference picture; and changing a set value of a grinding unit according to the error value. In addition, by disposing a grinding amount correcting apparatus in a grinding apparatus, correcting a grinding amount of a unit liquid crystal display panel can be performed by an automatic system.

Claims (10)

1. A method for correcting a grinding amount of a liquid crystal display panel, comprising:

forming an alignment mark on an edge of an unit liquid crystal display panel;

aligning a camera with the unit liquid crystal display panel using the alignment mark on the edge of the unit liquid crystal display panel, to minimize an error between an actual grinding surface of the unit liquid crystal display panel and a grinding picture;

grinding the edge of the unit liquid crystal display panel;

generating grinding pictures of the unit liquid crystal display panel using the camera and storing the grinding pictures on a first memory unit;

calculating an error value of a grinding amount by comparing the grinding pictures with a reference picture stored on a second memory unit;

changing a set value of a grinding unit according to the error value; and

regrinding the unit liquid crystal display panel after changing the set value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating grinding pictures of the unit liquid crystal display panel is performed by photographing of a camera.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the unit liquid crystal display panel includes a color filter substrate on a thin film transistor array substrate.
