Description

この発明は基板とこの基板の側辺部に接続された電子部品との接続部分に補強用の光硬化性樹脂を塗布する光硬化性樹脂の塗布装置及び塗布方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a photocurable resin coating apparatus and a coating method for applying a reinforcing photocurable resin to a connection portion between a substrate and an electronic component connected to a side portion of the substrate.

液晶表示装置の組立工程では、たとえば図9(a)に示すように、まずアウタリードボンダにより基板としての矩形状の液晶パネル200の4つの側辺部のうちの長さの異なる隣り合った2つの側辺部に、液晶駆動用ICが搭載されたタブ(TAB:Tape Automated Bonding)などの電子部品202を図9(c)に示すように異方性導電部材204によって実装してタブ付きの液晶パネル200を製造する。   In the assembling process of the liquid crystal display device, for example, as shown in FIG. 9A, first, adjacent two of the four side portions of the rectangular liquid crystal panel 200 serving as a substrate are adjacent to each other by an outer lead bonder. An electronic component 202 such as a tab (TAB: Tape Automated Bonding) having a liquid crystal driving IC mounted on one side is mounted by an anisotropic conductive member 204 as shown in FIG. The liquid crystal panel 200 is manufactured.

ついでタブ付きの液晶パネル200の電子部品202の部分に対して図9(b)に示すように実装される部品としての回路基板203を同じく異方性導電部材204によって電気的に接続して液晶パネル200を組み立てるということが行われている。   Next, a circuit board 203 as a component to be mounted as shown in FIG. 9B is electrically connected to the portion of the electronic component 202 of the tabbed liquid crystal panel 200 by the anisotropic conductive member 204 and the liquid crystal. Assembling the panel 200 is performed.

異方性導電部材204を用いて液晶パネル200に電子部品202を接続すれば、ある程度の接続強度を得ることが可能である。しかしながら、液晶パネル200に電子部品202を接続した後、このタブつきの液晶パネル200を取り扱うことで、電子部品202が曲げられることがある。   If the electronic component 202 is connected to the liquid crystal panel 200 using the anisotropic conductive member 204, a certain degree of connection strength can be obtained. However, after the electronic component 202 is connected to the liquid crystal panel 200, the electronic component 202 may be bent by handling the tabbed liquid crystal panel 200.

電子部品202が曲げられると、電子部品202と液晶パネル200との接続部分に曲げ応力が作用するから、その曲げ応力によって電子部品202が液晶パネル200から剥離したり、電子部品202と液晶パネル200との電極の電気的接続状態が損なわれるということがある。   When the electronic component 202 is bent, a bending stress acts on a connection portion between the electronic component 202 and the liquid crystal panel 200. Therefore, the electronic component 202 is peeled off from the liquid crystal panel 200 by the bending stress, or the electronic component 202 and the liquid crystal panel 200. The electrical connection state of the electrode may be impaired.

そこで、図9(d)に示すように液晶パネル200に電子部品202を接続したならば、この電子部品202液晶パネル200との接続部分に光硬化性樹脂205を塗布し、ついで光硬化性樹脂205を紫外線などの照射光で照射して硬化させる。それによって、液晶パネル200と電子部品202との接続強度を補強し、電子部品202が剥離するのを防止するということが行われている。   Therefore, when the electronic component 202 is connected to the liquid crystal panel 200 as shown in FIG. 9D, the photocurable resin 205 is applied to the connection portion with the liquid crystal panel 200, and then the photocurable resin is applied. 205 is cured by irradiation with irradiation light such as ultraviolet rays. This reinforces the connection strength between the liquid crystal panel 200 and the electronic component 202 and prevents the electronic component 202 from peeling off.

液晶パネル200の側辺部には通常、複数の電子部品202が接続されている。そこで、従来は、塗布装置によって液晶パネル200と電子部品202との複数の接続部分の全てに光硬化性樹脂205を塗布する。ついで、その液晶パネル200を照射装置に搬送し、そこで液晶パネル200の上記光硬化性樹脂205の塗布部分の全体に照射光を照射し、接続部分に塗布された光硬化性樹脂205を硬化させるようにしている。   A plurality of electronic components 202 are usually connected to the side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200. Therefore, conventionally, the photocurable resin 205 is applied to all of the plurality of connection portions between the liquid crystal panel 200 and the electronic component 202 by a coating apparatus. Next, the liquid crystal panel 200 is transported to an irradiation apparatus, where the entire application portion of the liquid crystal panel 205 of the liquid crystal panel 200 is irradiated with irradiation light to cure the photocurable resin 205 applied to the connection portion. I am doing so.

しかしながら、従来は光硬化性樹脂の塗布装置と、光硬化性樹脂を照射光で照射して硬化させる照射装置とが分かれていた。そのため、塗布装置と照射装置とを一列に配置しなければならないから、生産ラインが長くなるということがあった。   However, conventionally, a photocurable resin coating apparatus and an irradiation apparatus for irradiating and curing a photocurable resin with irradiation light have been separated. For this reason, since the coating device and the irradiation device must be arranged in a row, the production line may be lengthened.

しかも、照射装置は液晶パネルの光硬化性樹脂205の塗布部分の全体に照射光を照射する構成であったので、照射装置が液晶パネルを収容できる大きさとなるから、大型化するということがあり、とくに最近では液晶パネルが大型化しているため、照射装置が非常に大きくなってしまうということがある。さらに、塗布装置で光硬化性樹脂を塗布する作業と、照射装置で光硬化性樹脂に照射光を照射して硬化させる作業とが全く別々に行われているため、作業能率が悪いということもあった。   In addition, since the irradiation device is configured to irradiate the entire application portion of the photocurable resin 205 of the liquid crystal panel with irradiation light, the irradiation device is large enough to accommodate the liquid crystal panel, and thus may be increased in size. In particular, recently, since the liquid crystal panel has become larger, the irradiation device may become very large. Furthermore, the work of applying the photocurable resin with the coating device and the work of irradiating and curing the photocurable resin with the irradiation device are performed completely separately, which means that the work efficiency is poor. there were.

この発明は、基板と電子部品との接続部分に光硬化性樹脂を塗布したならば、その塗布に続いて光硬化性樹脂を硬化させる照射光を照射できるようにすることで、生産ラインの短縮化や作業能率の向上を図ることができるようにした光硬化性樹脂の塗布装置及び塗布方法を提供することにある。   This invention shortens the production line by enabling the application of photo-curing resin to the connection part between the substrate and the electronic component, so that irradiation light for curing the photo-curing resin can be irradiated following the application. An object of the present invention is to provide a photo-curing resin coating apparatus and coating method that can improve the efficiency and work efficiency.

Each coating unit 2, 3 has an upper X guide body 4 disposed along the X direction at a predetermined height position on the base 1. Support plates 5 are provided at one end and the other end in the longitudinal direction of the upper X guide body 4, and end portions of the drive screws 6 are rotatably supported by these support plates 5. One support plate 5 is provided with an X drive source 7, and the drive screw 6 is rotationally driven by the X drive source 7.

Each application nozzle 13 is connected to a photo-curable resin supply unit (not shown) by piping, and discharges the photo-curable resin 205 from the tip, and is applied to a connection portion between the liquid crystal panel 200 and the electronic component 202 as will be described later. Can be done.

なお、第2の塗布ユニット3の一対のX可動体8bと8cの間隔、つまり各X可動体8bと8cに設けられた一対の塗布ノズル13のX方向に沿う間隔は、図6(a)に示す液晶パネル200の長側辺部に接続された6つの電子部品202の一端から他端までの距離Lの約半分に設定されている。   The distance between the pair of X movable bodies 8b and 8c of the second coating unit 3, that is, the distance along the X direction of the pair of coating nozzles 13 provided on each X movable body 8b and 8c is shown in FIG. Is set to about half of the distance L from one end to the other end of the six electronic components 202 connected to the long side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200 shown in FIG.

上記ヘッドステージ11の前面の幅方向他端部には、上記塗布ノズル13によって塗布された光硬化性樹脂205を硬化させるための紫外線などの照射光を出射する光照射部14が設けられている。   At the other end in the width direction of the front surface of the head stage 11, a light irradiation unit 14 for emitting irradiation light such as ultraviolet rays for curing the photocurable resin 205 applied by the application nozzle 13 is provided. .

上記光照射部14は遮光手段としての筒状の遮光体15によって覆われている。それによって、上記光照射部14から出射された照射光が周囲に散乱して上記塗布ノズル13を照射するのを防止するようになっている。つまり、光照射部14から出射された照射光は遮光体15の開口した下端面に対向する部位を照射し、他の部位を照射することがないようになっている。   The light irradiation part 14 is covered with a cylindrical light shielding body 15 as a light shielding means. Thereby, the irradiation light emitted from the light irradiation unit 14 is prevented from being scattered around and irradiating the coating nozzle 13. In other words, the irradiation light emitted from the light irradiation unit 14 irradiates a portion facing the lower end surface of the light shield 15 that is opened, and does not irradiate other portions.

上記ヘッドステージ11の前面の幅方向他端にはアーム16が側方に向かって突設されている。このアーム16には撮像手段としての撮像カメラ17が撮像面を下に向けて設けられている。   At the other end in the width direction of the front surface of the head stage 11, an arm 16 projects from the side. The arm 16 is provided with an imaging camera 17 as an imaging means with an imaging surface facing downward.

上記撮像カメラ17は上記塗布ノズル13によって液晶パネル200と電子部品202との接続部分に塗布されて上記光照射部14からの照射光によって硬化された光硬化性樹脂205を撮像する。撮像カメラ17からの撮像信号は図2と図3に示す制御装置18に入力される。   The imaging camera 17 images the photocurable resin 205 that is applied to the connection portion between the liquid crystal panel 200 and the electronic component 202 by the application nozzle 13 and is cured by the irradiation light from the light irradiation unit 14. An imaging signal from the imaging camera 17 is input to the control device 18 shown in FIGS.

上記制御装置18には図4に示すように画像処理部19aと、基準信号Sを設定する設定部19bと、画像処理部19aで処理されたデジタル信号を設定部19bに設定された基準信号Sと比較する比較部20aと、この比較部20aでの比較に基づいて撮像カメラ17によって撮像された光硬化性樹脂205の塗布形状が正常であるか否かを判定する判定手段である判定部20bが設けられている。   As shown in FIG. 4, the control device 18 includes an image processing unit 19a, a setting unit 19b for setting a reference signal S, and a digital signal processed by the image processing unit 19a as a reference signal S set in the setting unit 19b. And a determination unit 20b that is a determination unit that determines whether or not the application shape of the photocurable resin 205 imaged by the imaging camera 17 is normal based on the comparison in the comparison unit 20a. Is provided.

それによって、液晶パネル200と電子部品202との接続部分に塗布された光硬化性樹脂205の形状が基準形状であるか否かが検出される。つまり、光硬化性樹脂205の塗布幅が所定の範囲内にあるかということや光硬化性樹脂205が途切れていないかなどのことが検出される。   Thereby, it is detected whether or not the shape of the photocurable resin 205 applied to the connection portion between the liquid crystal panel 200 and the electronic component 202 is the reference shape. That is, it is detected whether the coating width of the photocurable resin 205 is within a predetermined range, whether the photocurable resin 205 is not interrupted, or the like.

そして、光硬化性樹脂205の撮像形状が許容範囲内であれば、上記判定部20bによって上記光硬化性樹脂205の塗布状態が正常であると判定され、範囲外であれば異常であると判定される。異常時には制御装置18がそのことを警報ブザーやランプなどの警報手段20cを作動させ、それによって作業者に異常を知らせるようになっている。   If the imaging shape of the photocurable resin 205 is within an allowable range, the determination unit 20b determines that the application state of the photocurable resin 205 is normal, and determines that the photocurable resin 205 is abnormal if it is out of the range. Is done. When an abnormality occurs, the control device 18 activates an alarm means 20c such as an alarm buzzer or a lamp, thereby notifying the operator of the abnormality.

上記ベース1の、第1、第2の塗布ユニット2,3のヘッドステージ11と対向する部位には、それぞれ基板ステージ21が設けられている。この基板ステージ21はX方向及びY方向に駆動可能となっている。すなわち、上記ベース1には図2、図3及び図5に示すようにベーステーブル22が設けられている。このベーステーブル22の上面には図5に矢印で示すY方向に沿って長いXテーブル23がY方向と直交するX方向に沿って移動可能に設けられている。このXテーブル23は上記ベーステーブル22のX方向に沿う一端に設けられたX駆動源24によってX方向に沿って駆動されるようになっている。   Substrate stages 21 are respectively provided at portions of the base 1 facing the head stages 11 of the first and second coating units 2 and 3. The substrate stage 21 can be driven in the X direction and the Y direction. That is, the base 1 is provided with a base table 22 as shown in FIGS. On the upper surface of the base table 22, an X table 23 that is long along the Y direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. 5 is provided so as to be movable along the X direction orthogonal to the Y direction. The X table 23 is driven along the X direction by an X drive source 24 provided at one end of the base table 22 along the X direction.

上記Xテーブル23にはYテーブル25がY方向に沿って移動可能に設けられ、上記Xテーブル23のY方向に沿う一端に設けられたY駆動源26によってY方向に沿って駆動されるようになっている。そして、このYテーブル25上に上記基板ステージ21がZ駆動源27によってZ方向に駆動可能に設けられている。この基板ステージ21には上記液晶パネル200が供給され、図示しない吸着手段によって吸着保持されるようになっている。それによって、液晶パネル200は基板ステージ21とともにX方向、Y方向及びZ方向に駆動されるようになっている。   A Y table 25 is provided on the X table 23 so as to be movable along the Y direction, and is driven along the Y direction by a Y drive source 26 provided at one end of the X table 23 along the Y direction. It has become. The substrate stage 21 is provided on the Y table 25 so as to be driven in the Z direction by a Z drive source 27. The liquid crystal panel 200 is supplied to the substrate stage 21 and is sucked and held by suction means (not shown). Accordingly, the liquid crystal panel 200 is driven in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction together with the substrate stage 21.

光硬化性樹脂205が塗布される液晶パネル200は、第1の塗布ユニット2の基板ステージ21に供給される。つまり、液晶パネル200は図6(a)、(b)に示すように隣り合う2つの側辺の長さが異なる長方形状をなしている。そして、液晶パネル200には、1つの短側辺部に3つの電子部品202が接続され、この短側辺部に隣り合う1つの長側辺部に6つの電子部品202が接続されている。つまり、液晶パネル200には、4つの側辺部のうちの2つの側辺部に電子部品202が予め接続されている。   The liquid crystal panel 200 to which the photocurable resin 205 is applied is supplied to the substrate stage 21 of the first application unit 2. That is, the liquid crystal panel 200 has a rectangular shape in which the lengths of two adjacent sides are different as shown in FIGS. In the liquid crystal panel 200, three electronic components 202 are connected to one short side, and six electronic components 202 are connected to one long side adjacent to the short side. That is, in the liquid crystal panel 200, the electronic component 202 is connected in advance to two of the four side portions.

図5に示すように、液晶パネル200の周辺部は基板ステージ21の周縁から外方に突出しており、上記液晶パネル200の短側辺部或いは長側辺部を塗布位置に位置決めすると、その側辺部は支持体28の上方に対向位置する。この支持体28の上面には吸引路29の一端が開口している。この吸引路29の他端には吸引ポンプ31が吸引チューブ32によって接続されている。   As shown in FIG. 5, the peripheral part of the liquid crystal panel 200 protrudes outward from the peripheral edge of the substrate stage 21, and when the short side part or the long side part of the liquid crystal panel 200 is positioned at the application position, The side part is positioned above the support 28. One end of a suction path 29 is opened on the upper surface of the support 28. A suction pump 31 is connected to the other end of the suction path 29 by a suction tube 32.

したがって、基板ステージ21がX、Y方向に位置決めされた後、下降方向に駆動すれば、液晶パネル200の側辺部を支持体28の上面に吸着保持することができる。液晶パネル200の側辺部を支持体28の上面に吸着保持すれば、その側辺部の反りを矯正することができるから、その側辺部の上面に塗布ノズル13によって光硬化性樹脂205を均一に塗布することができる。   Therefore, if the substrate stage 21 is positioned in the X and Y directions and then driven in the downward direction, the side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200 can be held by suction on the upper surface of the support 28. If the side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200 is held by suction on the upper surface of the support 28, the warpage of the side portion can be corrected. Therefore, the photocurable resin 205 is applied to the upper surface of the side portion by the application nozzle 13. It can be applied uniformly.

つぎに、上記構成の塗布装置を用いて液晶パネル200と、その液晶パネル200の短側辺部と長側辺部に接続された電子部品202との接続部分に光硬化性樹脂を塗布する手順について説明する。   Next, a procedure for applying a photocurable resin to a connection portion between the liquid crystal panel 200 and the electronic component 202 connected to the short side portion and the long side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200 using the coating apparatus having the above configuration. Will be described.

まず、図示しない供給ロボットなどによって液晶パネル200が第1の塗布ヘッド2の基板ステージ21に供給される。つまり、液晶パネル200は電子部品202が設けられた短側辺部をヘッドステージ11側に向けるとともにX方向に沿うよう上記基板ステージ21に供給される。   First, the liquid crystal panel 200 is supplied to the substrate stage 21 of the first coating head 2 by a supply robot or the like (not shown). That is, the liquid crystal panel 200 is supplied to the substrate stage 21 so that the short side portion where the electronic component 202 is provided faces the head stage 11 side and is along the X direction.

ついで、上記基板ステージ21は、液晶パネル200の短側辺部の一端に位置する電子部品202の接続部分に塗布ノズル13の下端が対向位置するようX、Y方向に位置決めされる。このようにして、液晶パネル200をX、Y方向に位置決めすると、その短側辺部が支持体28の上方に位置するから、基板ステージ21を下降させれば、液晶パネル200の短側辺部が支持体28の上面に吸着保持される。   Next, the substrate stage 21 is positioned in the X and Y directions so that the lower end of the coating nozzle 13 faces the connecting portion of the electronic component 202 located at one end of the short side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200. Thus, when the liquid crystal panel 200 is positioned in the X and Y directions, the short side portion thereof is positioned above the support 28, and therefore, if the substrate stage 21 is lowered, the short side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200 is arranged. Is adsorbed and held on the upper surface of the support 28.

液晶パネル200の短側辺部を支持体28の上面に保持したならば、ヘッドステージ11を下降させ、上記塗布ノズル13から光硬化性樹脂205を電子部品202の接続部分に吐出させるとともに、光照射部14から照射光を出射させながら塗布ノズル13が短側辺部の一端から他端に向かうよう、ヘッドステージ11をX方向に駆動する。   If the short side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200 is held on the upper surface of the support 28, the head stage 11 is lowered, the photocurable resin 205 is discharged from the coating nozzle 13 to the connection part of the electronic component 202, and the light The head stage 11 is driven in the X direction so that the coating nozzle 13 is directed from one end to the other end of the short side while emitting the irradiation light from the irradiation unit 14.

それによって、塗布ノズル13から吐出される光硬化性樹脂205が液晶パネル200の電子部品202が接続された短側辺部に沿って塗布される。そして、光硬化性樹脂205が塗布された箇所は、その塗布に続いて光照射部14から出射される照射光によって照射されて硬化する。   Thereby, the photocurable resin 205 discharged from the application nozzle 13 is applied along the short side portion to which the electronic component 202 of the liquid crystal panel 200 is connected. Then, the portion where the photocurable resin 205 is applied is irradiated with the irradiation light emitted from the light irradiation unit 14 subsequent to the application and cured.

上記液晶パネル200の短側辺部に塗布されて硬化した光硬化性樹脂は、ヘッドステージ11がX方向に駆動されることで、このヘッドステージ11に設けられた撮像カメラ17によって撮像される。撮像カメラ17の撮像信号は制御装置18に入力されて画像処理され、基準信号と比較される。   The photocurable resin applied and cured on the short side of the liquid crystal panel 200 is imaged by the imaging camera 17 provided on the head stage 11 when the head stage 11 is driven in the X direction. An imaging signal of the imaging camera 17 is input to the control device 18 and subjected to image processing, and compared with a reference signal.

たとえば、硬化した光硬化性樹脂205が途切れていたり、塗布幅の変化が一定以上であると、上記制御装置18から警報が出力される。それによって、作業者は異常に気付くから、その液晶パネル200を下流に流さないようにするなどして対策を講じることができる。   For example, an alarm is output from the control device 18 when the cured photo-curable resin 205 is interrupted or the change in the coating width is greater than a certain value. As a result, the operator notices an abnormality and can take measures such as preventing the liquid crystal panel 200 from flowing downstream.

上記光照射部14は遮蔽体15によって覆われ、光照射部14から出射される照射光が周囲に散乱するのを防止している。そのため、塗布ノズル13が光照射部14から出射される照射光によって照射され、光硬化性樹脂205が塗布される前に硬化するなどのことを防止できる。つまり、塗布ノズル13が光照射部14との距離を小さくすることが可能となるから、ヘッドステージ11を小型化することが可能となる。   The light irradiation unit 14 is covered with a shield 15 to prevent the irradiation light emitted from the light irradiation unit 14 from being scattered around. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the application nozzle 13 from being irradiated with the irradiation light emitted from the light irradiation unit 14 and being cured before the photocurable resin 205 is applied. That is, since the coating nozzle 13 can reduce the distance from the light irradiation unit 14, the head stage 11 can be downsized.

このようにして、図6(a)に示すように第1の塗布ユニット2のヘッドステージ11が液晶パネル200の短側辺部の全長にわたって移動して光硬化性樹脂205がされたならば、ヘッドステージ11が上昇後、液晶パネル200は図示しない搬送ロボットによって第1の塗布ユニット2の基板ステージ21から取り出され、水平方向に90度回転されて第2の塗布ユニット3の基板ステージ21に供給される。   In this way, as shown in FIG. 6A, if the head stage 11 of the first coating unit 2 moves over the entire length of the short side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200 and the photocurable resin 205 is formed, After the head stage 11 is raised, the liquid crystal panel 200 is taken out of the substrate stage 21 of the first coating unit 2 by a transfer robot (not shown), rotated 90 degrees in the horizontal direction, and supplied to the substrate stage 21 of the second coating unit 3. Is done.

つまり、短側辺部に光硬化性樹脂205が塗布された液晶パネル200は、電子部品202が接続された長側辺部をX方向に沿わせるとともにヘッドステージ11側に向けて第2の塗布ユニット3の基板ステージ21に供給載置される。   That is, the liquid crystal panel 200 in which the photo-curable resin 205 is applied to the short side part has the long side part to which the electronic component 202 is connected along the X direction and the second application toward the head stage 11 side. It is supplied and placed on the substrate stage 21 of the unit 3.

液晶パネル200が供給された第2の塗布ユニット3の基板ステージ21はX方向とY方向に駆動され、第2の塗布ユニット3の一対の塗布ノズル13の一方が液晶パネル200の長側辺部の一端に対向し、他方が長側辺部の長手方向中央部に対向するよう位置決めされる。   The substrate stage 21 of the second coating unit 3 to which the liquid crystal panel 200 is supplied is driven in the X direction and the Y direction, and one of the pair of coating nozzles 13 of the second coating unit 3 is the long side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200. It is positioned so that it may oppose one end of this, and the other may oppose the longitudinal center part of a long side part.

つまり、一方の塗布ノズル13は液晶パネル200の長側辺部の図6(a)にX1で示す一端部に位置決めされ、他方の塗布ノズル13はX2で示す長側辺部のほぼ中央部に位置決めされる。ついで、基板ステージ21は下降方向に駆動され、この基板ステージ21に保持された液晶パネル200の長側辺部が支持体28の上面に吸着保持される。また、液晶パネル200は一対の塗布ノズル13の先端部が電子部品202の接続部分の上方に位置するよう基板ステージ21によってY方向にも位置決めされる。   That is, one application nozzle 13 is positioned at one end portion indicated by X1 in FIG. 6A of the long side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200, and the other application nozzle 13 is positioned at a substantially central portion of the long side portion indicated by X2. Positioned. Next, the substrate stage 21 is driven in the downward direction, and the long side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200 held on the substrate stage 21 is sucked and held on the upper surface of the support 28. The liquid crystal panel 200 is also positioned in the Y direction by the substrate stage 21 so that the tip ends of the pair of application nozzles 13 are located above the connection portion of the electronic component 202.

このようにして、基板ステージ21をX、Y及びZ方向に位置決めしたならば、ヘッドステージ11を下降させ、第2の塗布ユニット3の一対の塗布ノズル13から光硬化性樹脂205を吐出するとともに光照射部14から照射光を出射し、一対のヘッドステージ11をX方向、つまり一対の塗布ノズル13が液晶パネル200の長側辺部の他端に向かう方向に駆動する。   When the substrate stage 21 is thus positioned in the X, Y, and Z directions, the head stage 11 is lowered, and the photocurable resin 205 is discharged from the pair of application nozzles 13 of the second application unit 3. Irradiation light is emitted from the light irradiation unit 14, and the pair of head stages 11 are driven in the X direction, that is, the pair of application nozzles 13 toward the other end of the long side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200.

それによって、一方の塗布ノズル13は液晶パネル200の長側辺部のX1の位置から光硬化性樹脂205の塗布を開始し、他方の塗布ノズル13はX2の位置から塗布を開始する。そして、一対のヘッドステージ11をX方向に図6(a)にLで示す距離の半分の距離を移動させることで、図6(b)に示すように上記長側辺部の電子部品202が接続された部分の全長に光硬化性樹脂205を塗布することができる。   Accordingly, one application nozzle 13 starts application of the photocurable resin 205 from the position X1 on the long side of the liquid crystal panel 200, and the other application nozzle 13 starts application from the position X2. Then, by moving the pair of head stages 11 in the X direction by a distance that is half the distance indicated by L in FIG. 6A, the electronic component 202 on the long side portion is moved as shown in FIG. 6B. The photocurable resin 205 can be applied to the entire length of the connected portion.

つまり、液晶パネル200の長側辺部に、2つの塗布ノズル13によって光硬化性樹脂205を塗布するようにしたので、1つの塗布ノズル13で塗布する場合に比べて半分の時間で塗布することができるから、生産性の向上を図ることができる。   That is, since the photocurable resin 205 is applied to the long side portion of the liquid crystal panel 200 by the two application nozzles 13, the application is performed in half the time compared to the case of applying by one application nozzle 13. Therefore, productivity can be improved.

第2の塗布ユニット3の各ヘッドステージ11には第1の塗布ユニット2のヘッドステージ11と同様、光照射部14が設けられ、一対の塗布ノズル13によって塗布された光硬化性樹脂205は塗布に続いて硬化させられる。上記光照射部14は遮光体15によって覆われているから、この光照射部14と塗布ノズル13との間隔を十分に小さくしてヘッドステージ11の小型化を図ることができる。   As with the head stage 11 of the first coating unit 2, each head stage 11 of the second coating unit 3 is provided with a light irradiation unit 14, and the photocurable resin 205 coated by the pair of coating nozzles 13 is coated. Followed by curing. Since the light irradiation unit 14 is covered with the light shield 15, the head stage 11 can be reduced in size by sufficiently reducing the distance between the light irradiation unit 14 and the coating nozzle 13.

さらに、ヘッドステージ11には撮像カメラ17が設けられているから、この撮像カメラ17からの撮像信号によって各塗布ノズル13による光硬化性樹脂205の塗布状態が判定され、異常があればそのことを作業者に知らせることができる。   Further, since an imaging camera 17 is provided on the head stage 11, the application state of the photocurable resin 205 by each application nozzle 13 is determined based on the imaging signal from the imaging camera 17, and if there is an abnormality, this is indicated. The operator can be informed.

このように、参考となる実施の形態の塗布装置によれば、液晶パネル200の電子部品202が接続された長側辺部と短側辺部とに、それぞれ光硬化性樹脂205を塗布することができるばかりか、その塗布に続いて照射光を照射して硬化させることができる。 As described above, according to the coating apparatus of the reference embodiment, the photocurable resin 205 is applied to the long side portion and the short side portion to which the electronic component 202 of the liquid crystal panel 200 is connected. It can be cured by irradiation with irradiation light following the coating.

つまり、光硬化性樹脂205の塗布と硬化との作業を塗布装置の各塗布ユニット2,3によって連続して行えるから、生産性の向上を図れるばかりか、装置全体のライン長を短くすることができるなどのことがある。   In other words, the application and curing operations of the photocurable resin 205 can be performed continuously by the coating units 2 and 3 of the coating apparatus, so that productivity can be improved and the line length of the entire apparatus can be shortened. There are things you can do.

図7と図8はこの発明の実施の形態を示す。この実施の形態は、第1の塗布ユニット2と第2の塗布ユニット3とが軸線を直交させて配置されている。すなわち、基板ステージ21に保持された長方形状の基板200の短側辺部に対向して第1の塗布ユニット2が配置され、長側辺部に対向して第2の塗布ユニット3が配置されている。なお、第1、第2の塗布ユニット2,3の構成は第1の実施の形態に示された塗布ユニットと同じであるので、同一部分には同一記号を付して説明を省略する。 7 and 8 show a form of implementation of the present invention. Implementation form of this is a first coating unit 2 and the second coating unit 3 is arranged to be perpendicular to the axis. That is, the first coating unit 2 is disposed to face the short side portion of the rectangular substrate 200 held by the substrate stage 21, and the second coating unit 3 is disposed to face the long side portion. ing. In addition, since the structure of the 1st, 2nd application | coating units 2 and 3 is the same as the application | coating unit shown by 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part and description is abbreviate | omitted.

図7に示すように、第1の塗布ユニット2に設けられた塗布ノズル13は、上記長側辺部に隣り合う短側辺部の一端部Y1から光硬化性樹脂205の塗布を開始する。上記第2の塗布ユニット3に設けられた一対の塗布ノズル13は、上記基板200の長側辺部の長手方向一端部X1と中央部X2とから光硬化性樹脂205の塗布を同時に開始する。   As shown in FIG. 7, the application nozzle 13 provided in the first application unit 2 starts application of the photocurable resin 205 from one end Y1 of the short side part adjacent to the long side part. The pair of application nozzles 13 provided in the second application unit 3 simultaneously start application of the photocurable resin 205 from the longitudinal end portion X1 and the central portion X2 of the long side portion of the substrate 200.

第1の塗布ユニット2と第2の塗布ユニット3による光硬化性樹脂205の塗布は同期して行われる。すなわち、第1の塗布ユニット2の一対の塗布ノズル13が図8に矢印Yで示す方向に駆動が開始されると同時に、第2の塗布ユニット3の塗布ノズル13が矢印Xで示す方向に駆動される。
それによって、基板200の隣り合う長側辺部と短側辺部とに光硬化性樹脂205を同時に塗布できるから、塗布に要するタクトタイムを短縮することができる。
The application of the photocurable resin 205 by the first application unit 2 and the second application unit 3 is performed in synchronization. That is, the pair of coating nozzles 13 of the first coating unit 2 starts to be driven in the direction indicated by the arrow Y in FIG. 8, and simultaneously, the coating nozzle 13 of the second coating unit 3 is driven in the direction indicated by the arrow X. Is done.
Thereby, since the photocurable resin 205 can be simultaneously applied to the adjacent long side portion and short side portion of the substrate 200, the tact time required for the application can be shortened.

さらに、基板200の長側辺部の長手方向の中央部X2から塗布を開始する第2の塗布ユニット3の一方の塗布ノズル13が設けられたヘッドステージ11が矢印Xで示す方向の末端まで移動したとき、第1の塗布ヘッド2の塗布ノズル13が設けられたヘッドステージ11は基板200の短側辺部の一端部Y1から矢印Yで示す方向へ移動している。   Further, the head stage 11 provided with one application nozzle 13 of the second application unit 3 that starts application from the longitudinal center X2 of the long side portion of the substrate 200 moves to the end in the direction indicated by the arrow X. At this time, the head stage 11 provided with the coating nozzle 13 of the first coating head 2 has moved in the direction indicated by the arrow Y from the one end Y1 of the short side portion of the substrate 200.

そのため、第2の塗布ヘッド3の一方の塗布ノズル13が第1の塗布ヘッド2の塗布ノズル13に干渉するのを防止することもできる。   Therefore, it is possible to prevent one application nozzle 13 of the second application head 3 from interfering with the application nozzle 13 of the first application head 2.

この発明は上記一実施の形態に限定されず、たとえば第2の塗布ユニットには2つの塗布ノズルを設けたが基板の大きさに応じて3つ或いはそれ以上の塗布ノズルを設けるようにしてもよい。   The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the second application unit is provided with two application nozzles, but may be provided with three or more application nozzles according to the size of the substrate. Good.

液晶パネルのタブが接続された短側辺部或いは長側辺部を支持体によって吸着保持するようにしたが、吸着せず、単に支持するだけであっても液晶パネルの側辺部の反りをある程度は矯正することが可能である。   The short side or the long side to which the tab of the liquid crystal panel is connected is sucked and held by the support, but the side of the liquid crystal panel is warped even if it is simply not supported but sucked. It can be corrected to some extent.
