ABSTRACT:
A rubbing apparatus for imparting an alignment control power with respect to alignment of liquid crystal molecules to an alignment film on a transparent substrate of a liquid crystal device by rubbing the alignment film with a rubbing roller while the rubbing roller is rotated and kept in contact with the transparent substrate having thereon the alignment film, comprising: measuring means for measuring a three-dimensional stress imposed on the transparent substrate by the rubbing roller when the rubbing roller is brought into contact with the transparent substrate, and control means for controlling the three-dimensional stress so as to provide a prescribed stress to effect a rubbing treatment. The measuring means may perform the measurement by breaking up a stress into two stress components in directions perpendicular and parallel to the rubbing direction, respectively. The measurement of a stress may be performed by measuring a load imposed on the transparent substrate. The rubbing apparatus may further comprise judging means for judging a fluctuation in stress and correction means for correcting the fluctuation.
