Liquid crystal drop apparatus and method for dropping liquid crystal using the same
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal drop apparatus for dropping liquid crystal on a substrate includes a liquid crystal container filled with liquid crystal, a nozzle formed at an lower end of the liquid crystal container for dropping the liquid crystal of the liquid crystal container, and a control unit for controlling the nozzle when the nozzle drops the liquid crystal.
1. A method for dropping liquid crystal in a liquid crystal container on a substrate comprising:
applying a sealant along an edge of the substrate;
dropping the liquid crystal from a nozzle of the liquid crystal container on a central portion of the substrate having the sealant applied thereto; and
applying an electric field between an electrode and the nozzle when the nozzle drops the liquid crystal,
herein applying an electric field includes using an electric field applying unit which has one end connected directly to the nozzle and has the other end connected directly to the electrode to apply an electric field to the nozzle, wherein an intensity of the electric field applied to the nozzle is adjusted.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electric field applied to the nozzle is an AC electric field.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein controlling the nozzle includes using an electric field applying unit to apply a frequency to the nozzle.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein an intensity of the frequency applied to the nozzle is adjusted.
