Pattern mask, liquid crystal injection process, and method of fabricating LCD device using the same
A liquid crystal injection method for fabricating a liquid crystal display (LCD) device includes attaching a liquid crystal material to a pattern mask to form a liquid crystal film, and printing the liquid crystal film on a substrate for the LCD device by pressing the pattern mask to the substrate.
1. A pattern mask for injecting a liquid crystal material, comprising:
a mesh pattern on a surface of the pattern mask, the pattern mask for attaching a liquid crystal material, holding the liquid crystal material and printing a liquid crystal film on a substrate.
2. The pattern mask according to claim 1 , wherein the mesh pattern comprises a plurality of prominences.
3. The pattern mask according to claim 2 , wherein the prominences are arranged in a lattice form.
4. The pattern mask according to claim 2 , wherein the liquid crystal material is attached inside the prominences.
5. The pattern mask according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate has a seal pattern surrounding a display region thereon.
6. The pattern mask according to claim 5 , wherein the seal pattern has a closed shape.
7. The pattern mask according to claim 1 , wherein the pattern mask is formed of a plastic material or a metal material.
8. The pattern mask according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal film has about 5 to 10 μm thickness.
