1. A liquid crystal dispensing system, comprising: a container to contain liquid crystal to be dispensed;a discharge pump to receive the liquid crystal from the container and to discharge the liquid crystal;a nozzle to dispense the liquid crystal discharge from the discharge pump onto a substrate; a
1. A liquid crystal dispensing system, comprising: a container to contain liquid crystal to be dispensed;a discharge pump to receive the liquid crystal from the container and to discharge the liquid crystal;a nozzle to dispense the liquid crystal discharge from the discharge pump onto a substrate; anda control unit configured to control a dispensing amount of liquid crystal discharged from the discharge pump and to compensate the dispensing amount when the dispensing amount of liquid crystal exceeds a limitation value,wherein the control unit compares a differential value between a preset dispensing amount of liquid crystal to be dispensed and a substantial measured dispensing amount dispensed onto the substrate with a first limitation value and a second limitation value,wherein the discharge pump is driven to compensate the preset dispensing amount to be dispensed if the differential value of the preset dispensing amount to be dispensed exceeds the first limitation value and the discharge pump is stopped if the differential value of the measured dispensing amount dispensed onto the substrate exceeds the second limitation value. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the discharge pump includes: a cylinder;a piston inserted into the cylinder and provided with a groove at a lower portion thereof to draw in and to discharge liquid crystal in accordance with rotational and up/down motion of the piston;a suction opening through which the liquid crystal is drawn in; anda discharge opening through which the liquid crystal is discharged. 3. The system of claim 2, further comprising a fixing unit to fix the discharge pump. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the fixing unit includes a rotating member to fix the piston of the discharge pump and to rotate the piston. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the piston is provided with a bar, the rotating member is provided with a hole, and the piston is fixed to the rotating member by coupling the bar and the hole to each other. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the bar is rotatably inserted into the hole. 7. The system of claim 4, wherein a liquid crystal capacity amount of the discharge pump is varied according to a fixation angle of the piston to the rotating member. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein an increase of the fixation angle increases the liquid crystal capacity amount of the discharge pump. 9. The system of claim 1, further comprising a liquid crystal capacity amount controlling member to control the discharge amount of liquid crystal by varying the fixation angle of the discharge pump. 10. The system of claim 9 further, comprising: a motor to drive the liquid crystal capacity amount controlling member; and a rotational shaft screw coupled to the liquid crystal capacity amount controlling member and rotated as the motor is driven to linearly move the liquid crystal capacity amount controlling member. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the motor is a servo motor. 12. The system of claim 10, further comprising a controlling lever installed at the end of the rotational shaft to manually control the liquid crystal capacity amount controlling member. 13. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a first connecting tube to connect the container and the discharge pump; and a pin inserted into the container by being installed at the end of the first connecting tube and having a penetrated inside to which the liquid crystal of the container is introduced. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the container is provided with a pad into which the pin is inserted, and wherein the pad prevents liquid crystal from being leaked through a pin insertion portion by forming a seal around the pin at the time of the pin insertion. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein the pad includes a silicon or a butyl rubber group. 16. The system of claim 1, further comprising a second connecting tube to connect the discharge pump and the nozzle. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the second connecting tube includes a transparent material. 18. The system of claim 16, further comprising a first detecting unit installed near the second connecting tube to detect whether vapor is included in the liquid crystal discharged from the discharge pump. 19. The system of claim 1, further comprising a second detecting unit installed near the nozzle to detect whether liquid crystal has collected on the surface of the nozzle. 20. The system of claim 1, wherein the control unit includes: a dispensing amount setting unit to set a dispensing amount of liquid crystal to be dropped onto the substrate;a dispensing amount compensating unit to compensate a differential value between the dispensing amount of liquid crystal set by the dispensing amount setting unit and a substantial dispensing amount onto the substrate;a motor driving unit to operate the discharge pump by driving a motor; anda substrate driving unit to drive the substrate so that the dispensing position of a substrate where the liquid crystal is to be dispensed is aligned with the nozzle. 21. The system of claim 20, wherein the dispensing amount setting unit includes: an input unit to input data;a total dispensing amount calculating unit to calculate a total dispensing amount of liquid crystal to be dispensed onto the substrate based on the data input into the input unit;a single dispensing amount calculating unit to calculate a single dispensing amount of liquid crystal based on the calculated total dispensing amount of liquid crystal; anda dispensing position calculating unit to calculate a dispensing position of liquid crystal based on the calculated total dispensing amount of liquid crystal. 22. The system of claim 20, wherein the dispensing amount compensating unit includes: a dispensing amount measuring unit to measure a dispensing amount of liquid crystal dispensed onto the substrate;a differential value calculating unit to calculate a differential value between a dispensing amount of liquid crystal measured by the dispensing amount measuring unit and a preset dispensing amount of liquid crystal;a dispensing amount limitation value setting unit to set a limitation value of the differential value of the dispensing amount; anda comparing unit to compare the dispensing amount differential value and the dispensing amount limitation value respectively input from the differential value calculating unit and the dispensing amount limitation value setting unit and to output a signal to the motor driving unit. 23. The system of claim 22, wherein the limitation value includes: a first limitation value at which a dispensing amount of liquid crystal is compensated when the differential value exceeds the limitation value; anda second limitation value at which the liquid crystal dispensing is stopped when the differential value exceeds the differential value. 24. The system of claim 23, wherein the first limitation value corresponds to 0.3% of a preset dispensing amount of liquid crystal. 25. The system of claim 23, wherein the second limitation value corresponds to 0.5% of a preset dispensing amount of liquid crystal. 26.
