What is claimed is: 1. A liquid crystal dispensing apparatus, comprising: a container that contains liquid crystal material; a discharge pump that draws in and discharges the liquid crystal material contained in the container, wherein the discharge pump includes: a case, wherein a lower portion of the case includes a transparent window; a cylinder within the case; a piston rotatably arranged within the cylinder, wherein a lower portion of the piston includes a groove, wherein the groove draws in and discharges the liquid crystal material; a suction opening, wherein liquid crystal material is drawn from the suction opening; and a discharge opening, wherein liquid crystal material is discharged to the discharge opening; a nozzle that dispenses the discharged liquid crystal material onto a substrate. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, further including rotating member coupled to the piston, wherein the rotating member rotates the piston. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein: the rotating member includes a hole; and the piston includes a bar within the hole. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the bar is rotatable within the hole. 5. The apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a liquid crystal capacity amount controlling member contacting the discharge pump, wherein the liquid crystal capacity amount controlling member varying a fixation angle at which the discharge pump is coupled to the rotating member, wherein an amount of liquid crystal material discharged by the discharge pump corresponds to the fixation angle. 6. The apparatus of claim 5 further comprising: a motor; and a rotational shaft rotatably coupled to the motor and moveably coupled to the liquid crystal capacity amount controlling member is moveably coupled to the rotational shaft. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the motor includes a servo motor. 8. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the motor includes a step motor. 9. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising: a first connecting tube connected between the discharge pump and the container; and a pin at the end of the first connecting tube, the pin selectively placing the first connecting tube and the container in fluid communication. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, further including a pad contacting the pin and preventing liquid crystal material from leaking when the first connecting tube and container are in fluid communication. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the pad includes at least one of silicon and a butyl rubber-based material. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a second connecting tube connected between the discharge pump and the nozzle. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the second connecting tube includes a transparent material. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising a first sensor proximate the second connecting tube that detects the presence of vapor within liquid crystal material discharged from the discharge pump. 15. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a second sensor arranged proximate the nozzle that detects the presence of vapor within liquid crystal material dispensed from the nozzle. 16. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a second sensor arranged proximate the nozzle that detects the presence of vapor within liquid crystal material accumulated on the surface of the nozzle. 17. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a lower cap at a lower portion of the case. 18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the lower cap is detachably coupled to the case.
