Printing plate and method of printing an alignment film using the same

1. A printing plate wound around a printing roller for transcribing an alignment film material to a glass substrate of a liquid crystal display device comprising:

a resin plate;

a plurality of pixel array embossing pattern formed on the resin plate, for printing the alignment film to a pixel array formed on the glass substrate of the liquid crystal display device;

a plurality of dummy embossing pattern formed on the resin plate at which the pixel array embossing patterns are not formed as seeing in the rotating direction of the printing roller; and

a grooved pattern formed on the resin plate between the pixel array embossing patterns and between the dummy embossing patterns.

2. The printing plate of the claim 1 , wherein the resin plate includes two or more resin plates.

3. The printing plate of the claim 1 , further comprising:

a base film attached to the resin plate; and

an adhesive bonding sides facing each other on the resin plate.

4. The printing plate of the claim 1 , wherein the dummy embossing patterns are formed at which they are not overlapped with the pixel array embossing pattern as seeing in the rotating direction of the printing roller, on the resin plate.

5. The printing plate of the claim 4 , wherein there is no embossing pattern among the grooved patterns formed between an end of the resin plate and the pixel array embossing pattern.

6. A printing plate wound around a printing roller for transcribing an alignment film material to a glass substrate of a liquid crystal display device comprising:

a resin plate;

a pixel array embossing pattern formed on the resin plate, for printing the alignment film to a pixel array formed on the glass substrate of the liquid crystal display device;

a grooved pattern formed on the resin plate between the pixel array embossing pattern and an end side of the resin plate: and

a dummy embossing pattern formed on the resin plate at which the pixel array embossing pattern is not formed as seeing in the rotating direction of the printing roller.

7. The printing plate of the claim 6 , wherein the resin plate includes two or more resin plates.

8. The printing plate of the claim 6 , further comprising:

a base film attached to the resin plate; and

an adhesive bonding sides facing each other on the resin plate.

9. An alignment film printing method using a printing plate wound around a printing roller for transcribing an alignment film material supplied by an anilox roller onto a glass substrate of a liquid crystal display device comprising:

preparing the printing plate including a plurality of pixel array embossing pattern formed on the resin plate, for printing the alignment film to a pixel array formed on the glass substrate of the liquid crystal display device, a plurality of dummy embossing pattern formed on the resin plate at which the pixel array embossing patterns are not formed as seeing in the rotating direction of the printing roller, and a grooved pattern formed on the resin plate between the pixel array embossing patterns and between the dummy embossing patterns;

winding the printing plate around the printing roller, coating the alignment film material on the anilox roller, and transcribing the alignment film material to the printing plate by rotating the anilox roller and the printing roller; and

rotating the printing roller on the substrate of the liquid crystal display device and moving the printing roller to a direction across the substrate of the liquid crystal display device to transcribe the alignment film material coated on the embossing patterns of the printing plate onto the substrate of the liquid crystal display device.

10. The method of the claim 9 , wherein two or more resins are attached on the base film of the printing plate, and an adhesive is filled between sides facing each other on the resin plate.

11. The method of the claim 9 , wherein the dummy embossing patterns are formed at which they are not overlapped with the pixel array embossing pattern as seeing in the rotating direction of the printing roller, on the resin plate.

12. The method of the claim 11 , wherein there is no embossing pattern among the grooved patterns formed between an end of the resin plate and the pixel array embossing pattern.

13. The method of the claim 9 , further comprising:

installing a doctor blade so as to face with the anilox roller with predetermined gap to make thickness of the alignment film material coated on the anilox roller be uniformly by the doctor blade only.
