An apparatus and method for cutting a LCD panel is provided. The apparatus comprises a first scribing unit for forming first scribing lines and second scribing lines for dividing LCD panels on a substrate having a plurality of LCD panels. The apparatus also has a first flipping unit for flipping the substrate, a first breaking unit having a breaking bar for striking the flipped substrate along the first scribing lines to form a crack on the substrate, and a plurality of breaking rollers for pressing the flipped substrate along the second scribing lines to form a crack on the substrate. A breaking process of an LCD panel may be performed without rotating the substrate by using the breaking bar and the breaking rollers. Also, the breaking process may be performed without damaging image display regions of LCD panels where different sized LCD panels are on the substrate.
