Abstract

A liquid crystal display (LCD) device includes first and second substrates with a liquid crystal material therebetween; a first alignment film formed on the first substrate and a second alignment film formed on the second substrate; a first align mark on the first substrate, the first align mark formed of the same material as the first alignment film and formed in a shape of any one of a circle, square and cross; and a second align mark to be aligned with the first align mark on the second substrate.

Claims (25)

1. A fabricating method of a liquid crystal display, comprising:

forming a first alignment film for aligning liquid crystal and a first align mark made of the same material as the first alignment film on a first substrate at the same time, wherein the first align mark has a shape of a square having an aperture in the center, wherein the first alignment film and the first align mark are formed by a print roller having resin plate;

forming a second alignment film for aligning liquid crystal and a second align mark to be aligned with the first align mark on a second substrate, wherein the second align mark includes a first mark and a second mark, wherein the first mark has a shape of a square having an aperture in the center, wherein the first mark is larger than the first alignment mark, wherein the second mark has a shape of a square dot, wherein the second mark is smaller than both the aperture of the first alignment mark and the aperture of the first mark, and wherein the second mark is positioned at the aperture of the first mark so that the second mark is surrounded by the first mark;

aligning the first and second substrates using the first and second align marks; and

bonding together the first and second substrates with the liquid crystal therebetween,

wherein the first align mark has a size of about 600 μm˜about 1200 μm;

wherein a first alignment film pattern and a first align mark pattern are formed on the resin plate;

wherein a material of the first alignment film and the first align mark is transferred to the first alignment film pattern and the first align mark pattern.

2. The fabricating method according to the claim 1 , wherein the second align mark has a shape corresponding to the first align mark.

3. The fabricating method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

forming a common electrode on the first substrate to form a vertical electric field with a pixel electrode.

4. A fabricating method of a liquid crystal display, comprising:

forming a gate line on a second substrate;

forming a data line to cross the gate line and a thin film transistor at a crossing part of the data line and the gate line;

forming one of R, G and B color filters overlapped with a pixel electrode;

forming a black matrix overlapped with the data line and the gate line; and

forming the pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor;

forming a common electrode on the second substrate to form a horizontal electric field with the pixel electrode;

forming a first alignment film for aligning liquid crystal and a first align mark made of the same material as the first alignment film on a first substrate at the same time, wherein the first align mark has a shape of a square having an aperture in the center, wherein the first alignment film and the first align mark are formed by a print roller having resin plate;

forming a second alignment film for aligning liquid crystal and a second align mark to be aligned with the first align mark on the second substrate, wherein the second align mark includes a first mark and a second mark, wherein the first mark has a shape of a square having an aperture in the center, wherein the first mark is larger than the first alignment mark, wherein the second mark has a shape of a square dot, wherein the second mark is smaller than both the aperture of the first alignment mark and the aperture of the first mark, and wherein the second mark is positioned at the aperture of the first mark so that the second mark is surrounded by the first mark;

aligning the first and second substrates using the first and second align marks; and

bonding together the first and second substrates with the liquid crystal therebetween,

wherein the first align mark has a size of about 600 μm˜about 1200 μm;

wherein a first alignment film pattern and a first align mark pattern are formed on the resin plate;

wherein a material of the first alignment film and the first align mark is transferred to the first alignment film pattern and the first align mark pattern.
