Display apparatus comprising a seal line having a first protrusion including a cross point on a first side of the substrate and a second protrusion comprising an opening of the seal line on a second side
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus and a method of manufacturing the same include a seal line having two protrusions, one of the protrusions having a liquid crystal (LC) injection hole. Moreover, the LCD apparatus having the seal line constitutes a closed loop. The display apparatus and the manufacturing method thereof increase production yields because the number of apparatus substrates for the display apparatus obtained from a mother substrate is increased by minimizing a distance between two adjacent apparatus substrates on the mother substrate. The method of manufacturing an exemplary LCD apparatus includes a one drop filling method or a vacuum injection method.
1. A display apparatus comprising:
a substrate having a rectangular shape, and;
a seal line formed on the substrate, wherein the seal line has a first protrusion including a cross point of the seal line on a first side of the substrate, the first protrusion being formed between both corners of the first side of the substrate, and a second protrusion including an opening of the seal line on a second side opposite to the first side having the first protrusion, the second protrusion being formed between both corners of the second side of the substrate.
2. A display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cross point forms vertical angles.
3. A display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein a gap of a bottom of the first protrusion and a gap of a bottom of the second protrusion are same.
4. A display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein a gap of a bottom of the first protrusion and a gap of a bottom of the second protrusion are different.
5. A display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein vertical angles formed by the cross point of the first protrusion are different from each other.
6. A display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a gap of a bottom of the first protrusion and a gap of a bottom of the second protrusion are same.
7. A display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a gap of a bottom of the first protrusion and a gap of a bottom of the second protrusion are different.
8. A display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a gate driving circuit under the seal line.
9. A display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a non-display area having a data driving circuit.
10. A display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the non-display area is located outside of the seal line.
11. A display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the seal line contains spacers.
12. A display apparatus comprising;
a substrate having a rectangular shape, and
a seal line formed around the substrate, wherein the seal line is a closed loop comprising a first protrusion defined by a first cross point of the seal line between both corners of a first side of the substrate and a second protrusion defined by a second cross point of the seal line between both corners of a second side opposite to the first side having the first protrusion,
wherein a vertical angle of the first protrusion is different from that of the second protrusion.
13. A display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the first protrusion and the second protrusion form a mountain figure or an arc figure relative to a proximate portion of the seal line.
14. A display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein a gap of a bottom of the first protrusion and a gap of a bottom of the second protrusion are the same.
15. A display apparatus of claim 14 , further comprising a gate driving circuit under the seal line.
16. A display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the first protrusion includes a cross point of the seal line on the first side of the substrate, the cross point forms vertical angles being different from each other.
17. A display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein a vertical angle of the first protrusion is different from that of the second protrusion.
18. A display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein a gap of a bottom of the first protrusion is different from that of the second protrusion.
19. A display apparatus of claim 18 , further comprising a gate driving circuit under the seal line.
20. A display apparatus of claim 19 , wherein a vertical angle of the first protrusion is the same as that of the second protrusion.
21. A display apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising a non-display area having a data driving circuit.
22. A display apparatus of claim 21 , wherein the non-display area is located outside of the seal line.
23. A display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the seal line contains spacers.
