SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an exposure apparatus for exposure exposure in a crystal panel process in which light ray is irradiated with respect to a liquid. Double-sided panel can be used. [Prior Art] As shown in Fig. 1, the liquid crystal panel is placed on the conventional carrier mechanism 2 〇. w know' board is made of opaque material, such as: sound. The panel 1 is composed of 20 2 11, 12' and a sealant 13 , wherein / the base plate = I is a color filter substrate, and the substrate 12' can be a thin film transistor. Substrate (TF T). There are two ways to assemble the panel. First, the upper and lower substrates 11 and 12 are first joined to the frame H 3 'frame 谬 1 3 '. It must pass light: chemical reaction to harden. Generally, a light source 15 5 ' is used to generate a specific wavelength. Ultraviolet light (UV) is irradiated to harden the photosensitive sealant, or the thermosetting sealant is hardened by heating. In this step, after the sealant 13 3 ' is cured by ultraviolet light, an empty liquid crystal cell is formed, and the liquid crystal 16 is injected therein. Another way is to first apply a frame of glue 13 around the lower substrate 12', and perform a liquid drop infusion process (one drop fill, 〇DF) to drop into the liquid crystal 16, cover the upper substrate 11', and then cure the sealant with ultraviolet light. 1 3, to form a liquid crystal panel. Regarding the production equipment process and the computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) system, under the limitation of the relevant configuration, no matter which of the above processes, the single production line can only fix the UV light to the CF surface (or the TFT surface). ). Therefore, in order to make the sealant completely
