Abstract

The circumferential dimension of the rubbing cloth 1 is set to one half or below of the circumferential dimension of the rotational roll 2 a , the excentric core irregularities produced by the seam of the rubbing roll 2 are made visually unrecognizable, and the circumferential dimension of the rubbing cloth 1 is reduced, thus reducing the rubbing density and preventing the scraping-off of the orientation film.

Claims (3)

1. An orientation film rubbing apparatus for rubbing the orientation film of a liquid crystal panel with a rubbing roll, which is obtained by applying a rubbing cloth to the outer periphery of a rotational roll, wherein the circumferential dimension of the rubbing cloth of the rotational roll is one half or below of the circumferential dimension of the rotational roll.

2. The orientation film robbing apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the lower limit of the circumferential dimension of the rubbing cloth is 1.2 mm.

3. The orientation film rubbing apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the circumferential dimension of the rubbing cloth is ⅛to ¼of the circumferential dimension of the rotational roll.
