Liquid crystal spraying apparatus with ultrasonic converter within nozzle and method for manufacturing of liquid crystal display device using the same
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal spraying apparatus is provided. In the apparatus, a liquid crystal vessel stores liquid crystal. A liquid crystal nozzle sprays the stored liquid crystal in the form of fine particles. A liquid crystal supplier supplies the stored liquid crystal to the liquid crystal nozzle. A gas supplier supplies gas causing the supplied liquid crystal to be sprayed in the form of fine particles. A gas tank supplies the gas to the gas supplier.
1. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising:
providing a first substrate and a second substrate;
spraying liquid crystal on the first substrate using a sprayer that includes a liquid crystal vessel received in a case and a nozzle, wherein the nozzle includes a means to convert the liquid crystal received from the liquid crystal vessel into a plurality of fine particles of the liquid crystal; and
attaching the first and second substrates to each other,
wherein the nozzle is directly connected to a guide to spray the liquid crystal at a selective region on the first substrate,
wherein the guide is formed a shape of cap,
wherein an end portion of the nozzle is distant from an end portion of the guide,
wherein the liquid crystal vessel is made of polyethylene and the case is made of stainless steel,
wherein a top surface of the guide is directly in contact with a side the of the nozzle,
wherein the means is a ultrasonic converter and a power terminal connected with the ultrasonic converter,
wherein the ultrasonic converter and the power terminal are disposed in the nozzle to separate the liquid crystal into fine particles by a distortion of a stationary wave on the liquid crystal within the nozzle,
wherein the ultrasonic converter is disposed in the edge of the nozzle spraying the liquid crystal, and
wherein the distortion of the stationary wave on the liquid crystal and a structure of the end of the nozzle are such that the fine particles of the liquid crystal are sprayed in a plurality of oblique directions and coated on the first substrate in a thin and uniform manner.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said means is a gas injection hole supplied with a gas.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a size of the fine particles is adjusted according to a pressure of the gas.
4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the gas is one of air, N 2 and H 2 or combination thereof.
5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the nozzle further includes a liquid crystal injection hole to receive the liquid crystal from the liquid crystal vessel.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a size of the fine particles is adjusted according to a vibration frequency of the ultrasonic converter.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration frequency of the ultrasonic converter is controlled by a controller.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the power terminal of the ultrasonic converter is connected to a controller through a cable.
