BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to embodiments and drawings of the present invention.

2 is a schematic front sectional view of an apparatus for continuously feeding an anisotropic conductive film according to an embodiment of the present invention and a bonding apparatus having the same. Referring to FIG. 2, an apparatus 200 for continuously feeding and recovering an anisotropic conductive film of the present invention includes first through third ACF rolls 205, 206, 207 wound with ACFs, first through third ACF rolls 205, 206, And a mounting member 210 to which the mounting member 210 is mounted. The mounting member 210 is preferably of a magazine type, for example. In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 2, three ACF rolls 205, 206 and 207 are illustrated as being mounted on the mounting member 210. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that any number of ACF rolls It will be appreciated that a number of ACF rolls may be mounted to the mounting member 210.

Referring again to FIG. 2, the mounting member 210 of the present invention shows that the first ACF roll 205 is in use and that the ACF 215 of the first ACF roll 205 is fully used, The ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 and the ACF 215 of the first ACF roll 205 are moved by the connecting device A with the ACF support and guiding device, 215 are connected to each other. First, the ACF 215 of the first ACF roll 205 is cut by the connecting device A. Thereafter, the mounting member 210 is moved to the left to use the second ACF roll 206. The movement of the mounting member 210 is controlled by the first actuator 217. The ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 is then joined to the ACF 215 of the first ACF roll 205 cut by the connection device A to be continuously fed onto the substrate support member 255 And the protective film of the used ACF 215 is recovered in the recovery device 225. When the first sensor 235 detects that the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 has been used, the connection device A connects the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 and the first ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206, The connection process between the ACF 215 of the third ACF roll 207 and the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 is performed in the same manner as the process of connecting the rolls 205 to the ACF 215. On the other hand, the used first ACF roll 205 and second ACF roll 206 can be replaced by the operator before the ACF 215 of the third ACF roll 207 is all used. In this case, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the third ACF roll 207 is still in use, the bonding process need not be interrupted. Thereafter, when the first sensor 235 detects that the third ACF 217 has been used, the connection process is performed by the connection device A so that the newly mounted second ACF roll 206 can be used. The above-described connection process is usually performed within about 0.5 second. Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to continuously supply the ACF without substantially stopping the bonding process by using the mounting member 210 and the connecting device A, which can mount a plurality of ACF rolls in the above-described manner.

Fig. 3 is a detailed perspective view of a connecting device A constituting a part of an apparatus for continuously supplying an anisotropic conductive film in the embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 2 and including an ACF guiding and supporting member, a cutting member, Fig.

3, the connecting device A of the present invention includes a first ACF guide and support member 260, a second ACF guide and support member 265, a cutting member 270, and an ACF welding device 280 do. Hereinafter, these components will be described in detail.

When the first sensor 235 senses that the ACF 215 of the first ACF roll 205 has been used, the first actuator 217 stops the rotation of the first ACF roll 205. Sensing by the first sensor 235 is accomplished by attaching an indication mark to a predetermined portion of the ACF 215 and passing the sensing mark through the first sensor 235. The cutting member 270 then cuts the ACF 215 in the open space 267 with one side of the second ACF guide and support member 265 open. In this case, the first ACF guide and support member 260 is used to prevent the cut ACF 215 from falling down by gravity. More specifically, the first ACF guide and support member 260 includes a plurality of recesses 264 formed in the guide portion 262, and a vacuum pump (not shown) Lt; / RTI > The cut ACF 215 is kept in a state of being in tight contact with the guide portion 262 by the suction force of the groove 264, so that falling downward due to gravity is prevented. The first actuator 217 then moves the mounting member 210 to the left to use the second ACF roll 206 and then rotates the second ACF roll 206. When the second ACF roll 206 rotates, the ACF 215 from the second ACF roll 206 moves down along the guide 268 of the second ACF guide and support member 265, 1 < / RTI > of the ACF roll 205, as shown in FIG. In this case, whether or not the ACF 215 of the first ACF roll 205 overlaps the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 is detected by the second sensor (not shown). The second sensor uses substantially the same sensor as the first sensor and is located at a location between the mounting member 210 and the second ACF guide and support member 265.

On the other hand, in order to prevent the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 from moving in the state where the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 overlaps with the ACF 215 of the first ACF roll 205 And the second ACF guide and support member 265 have a plurality of recesses 269 formed in the guide portion 268 and a vacuum pump (not shown) Inhale. The ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 is kept in contact with the ACF 215 of the first ACF roll 205 while being in close contact with the guide portion 268 by the suction force of the groove 269 . On the other hand, since the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 is considerably light, it is likely to move left or right or rotate in the guide portion 268 of the second ACF guide and support member 265. The apparatus 200 for continuously supplying and recovering the anisotropic conductive film of the present invention may further include an air supply device for further preventing the horizontal movement or rotation of the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 described above . The air supply device is composed of an air pump 275 and an air supply pipe 277. When the air pump 275 supplies air to the surface of the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 through the air supply pipe 277, the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 is guided by the guide 268, The overlapping state between the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 and the ACF 215 of the first ACF roll 205 can be stably performed. Thereafter, the overlapping portion between the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 and the ACF 215 of the first ACF roll 205 is joined by the ACF welding device 280. As the welding method used in the ACF welding apparatus 280 of the present invention, ultrasonic welding, laser welding, bonding welding, or the like can be used.

Although the first ACF guiding and supporting member 260 and the second ACF guiding and supporting member 265 of the present invention shown in Fig. 3 are shown as being vertically spaced apart from each other, those skilled in the art will recognize that the first ACF guiding and supporting member 260, It will be appreciated that the support member 260 and the second ACF guide and support member 265 may be provided integrally. In this case, the integral ACF guide and support member may have a space in which the welding rod 282 of the welding device 280 can be accommodated, or the welding device 280 may be located at the front side . Further, although the guide portions 262 and 268 are shown as having a front opened shape to guide and support the wide surface of the ACF 215, it is also possible to have other shapes. Specifically, the guide portions 262 and 268 may have a cavity shape. It is also possible to use one or more clamps (not shown) instead of using a vacuum pump and a plurality of recesses 264 to bring the cut ACF 215 into close contact with the guide portion 262.

3, when the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 and the ACF 215 of the first ACF roll 205 are completed by the ACF welding device 280, The bonding process continues until all of the ACF 215 of the substrate 206 is used. Thereafter, when the first sensor 235 senses that the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 has been used, cutting of the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 in the manner described above, And the joining process between the ACF 215 of the third ACF roll 207 and the ACF 215 of the second ACF roll 206 are performed.

In the above-described manner, the apparatus 200 for continuously supplying and recovering the anisotropic conductive film of the present invention can sequentially and continuously use the ACF 215 of the first to third ACF rolls 205, 206 and 207. Further, at a predetermined time during the use of the ACF 215 of the third ACF roll 207, the operator removes the already used first and second ACF rolls 205 and 206 from the mounting member 210, And the second ACF rolls 205 and 206 to the mounting member 210. [ Thereafter, when the ACF 215 of the third ACF roll 207 is all used, the ACF 215 is used in the order of the second ACF roll 206 and the first ACF roll 205 in the above-described manner , It is possible to continuously supply the ACF 215 without interrupting the bonding process.

2, the ACF 215 of the first through third ACF rolls 205, 206 and 207 is connected to a roll-type collecting device 225 through at least one roller 221, 222, 223, and 224 installed to receive a predetermined tension, Lt; / RTI > The collecting device 225 according to the present invention is movable left and right along the shaft 227 unlike the collecting member 125 of the prior art shown in FIG. 1 recovers the protective film of the ACF used, so that if all of the ACF 115 of the ACF roll 105 is used, then the ACF roll 105 Is replaced with a new ACF roll 105, and at the same time, the recovering member 125 is reused after the recovered ACF protective film is removed. However, since the ACF 215 is continuously provided by the first to third ACF rolls 205, 206, 207 in the recovery device 225 according to the present invention, the ACF protective film must also be continuously recovered. The recovery device 225 thus has a large axis 227 and is not only rotated by the second actuator 299 but also can be moved left and right along the axis 227 to recover the recovered ACF protective film for a considerably longer time It is possible to supply ACF continuously without interrupting the bonding process without removing it. Further, the removal of the ACF protective film recovered by the recovery device 225 can be removed by discharging it to a recovery container (not shown) by a vacuum system, a numerical control system or a position control system. In the numerical control system, the recovered ACF protective film is discharged to the recovery container when the ACF protective film is recovered to the recovery roll 225 by a predetermined value. In the position control system, the ACF protective film is wound around the axis 227, the recovered ACF protective film is discharged to the recovery container.

Meanwhile, the bonding apparatus of the present invention is substantially the same as the conventional bonding apparatus. That is, the bonding apparatus 20 of the present invention includes an anisotropic conductive film supply and recovery apparatus 200 and 225, a substrate support member 255 on which an LCD or PDP substrate (not shown) provided with the ACF 215 is positioned, And a bonding device 250 for heating and pressing and bonding the ACF 215 provided on the LCD or PDP substrate. The bonding apparatus 20 according to the present invention is configured such that the ACF 215 is continuously supplied from the anisotropic conductive film supply and recovery apparatuses 200 and 225 onto the electrodes of the LCD or PDP substrate located on the substrate support member 255, (215) is heated and pressed with the electrode of the LCD or PDP substrate to perform a bonding process.

In addition, the bonding device 250, the first sensor 235, the second sensor (not shown), the first actuator 217, the second actuator 229, the cutting member 270, the vacuum pump And the air pump 275 can all be controlled by a single controller (not shown). One such controller may be, for example, a microprocessor, a programmable logic controller (PLC), a personal computer, or any other type of controller known in the art.
