Abstract

A structure of liquid crystal display and manufacture method thereof are described. The liquid crystal display is manufactured by a one drop fill process. The display comprises a first substrate, a second substrate, a conductive pattern layer, a black matrix layer, a liquid crystal layer and an ultraviolet-type seal. The metal pattern layer is made of indium tin oxide and formed on the first substrate. Therefore, the metal pattern layer is a transparent layer allowing the ultraviolet light to pass through. The ultraviolet-type seal is pre-cured by the ultraviolet light from the first substrate direction to the seal, and then cured by a heating process. Hence, the liquid crystal pollution problem is reduced.

Claims (29)

1. A method for fabricating liquid crystal display with one drop fill technology, the method comprising:

providing a first substrate with a conductive pattern layer formed by peripheral circuits, wherein the conductive pattern layer is made of an indium tin oxide material;

providing a second substrate with a black matrix layer to avoid light leakage of the liquid crystal display;

spreading an ultraviolet-type seal on the first substrate;

dropping a liquid crystal material on the first substrate;

gluing the first substrate and the second substrate in a vacuum chamber;

exposing the seal to an ultraviolet ray from the first substrate to pre-harden the seal for a predetermined period; and

heating the seal.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first substrate comprises a glass substrate of a thin film transistor.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the second substrate comprises a glass substrate of a color filter.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the peripheral circuits comprise peripheral driving circuits located on a non-display area of the liquid crystal display.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the vacuum chamber is utilized to exhaust air from between the first substrate and the second substrate.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the predetermined period is about 30 seconds.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of heating the seal takes about 60 minutes.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of spreading an ultraviolet-type seal on the first substrate is replaced by spreading an ultraviolet-type seal on the second substrate.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of dropping a liquid crystal material on the first substrate is replaced by dropping a liquid crystal material on the second substrate.

10. A structure of liquid crystal display manufactured by one drop fill technology, the structure comprising:

a first substrate;

a conductive pattern layer formed on the first substrate, wherein the conductive pattern layer is formed by peripheral circuits made of an indium tin oxide material;

a second substrate;

a black matrix layer formed on the second substrate to avoid light leakage from the liquid crystal display;

a liquid crystal layer formed by the one drop fill technology; and

an ultraviolet-type seal gluing the first substrate and the second the second substrate to form a chamber between the conductive pattern layer and the black matrix layer for storing the liquid crystal layer, wherein the ultraviolet-type seal is pre-hardened by an ultraviolet ray from the first substrate through the conductive pattern layer over a predetermined period, and then the seal is heated in a heating chamber to be fully hardened.

11. The structure of claim 10 wherein the first substrate comprises a glass substrate of a thin film transistor.

12. The structure of claim 10 wherein the second substrate comprises a glass substrate of a color filter.

13. The structure of claim 10 wherein the peripheral circuits comprise peripheral driving circuits located on a non-display area of the liquid crystal display.

14. The structure of claim 10 wherein a vacuum chamber is utilized to exhaust air from between the first substrate and the second substrate after the ultraviolet-type seal glues the first substrate to the second the second substrate.

15. The structure of claim 1 wherein the predetermined period is about 30 seconds.

16. The structure of claim 1 wherein the seal is heated in a heating chamber for about 60 minutes.
