Description

Apparatus for making a additional pattern for a light guide plate}

The present invention relates to an additional pattern forming apparatus for a light guide plate for forming various additional patterns in the light guide plate. More specifically, the light guide plate is moved back and forth (ie, moved along the X axis) according to the additional pattern design data to move the light guide plate in a process area. According to the light guide plate supply element and additional pattern design data that can be supplied to the image, the light guide plate is directly blown by moving left, right, up and down (that is, moving along the Y axis or Z axis) and added to the part of the light guide plate as described in the additional pattern design data. After supplying power to the additional pattern forming element capable of forming the pattern, the light guide plate supplying element, and the additional pattern forming element, the additional pattern design data is analyzed and the corresponding driving data is generated, and then the generated driving data is generated. Is transmitted to each component side, the light guide plate supply element, additional pattern forming element, etc. match the additional pattern design data By systematically arranging and providing a control element for controlling a movement to be achieved, and in this way, a producer (eg, by inducing a light guide plate to receive an additional pattern of uniform quality corresponding to the additional pattern design data effectively). The LGP manufacturers, liquid crystal display manufacturers, and additional pattern formers, etc.) have advanced the quality of LGP additional patterns, while flexibly responding to the recent consumer demand for high quality products. It relates to an additional pattern forming apparatus for a light guide plate that can be guided to maximize the state.

In recent years, with the rapid development of electric / electronic related technology, the demand of liquid crystal display device, which is one of the information display devices, has also increased rapidly. As the demand of such liquid crystal display device increases, the backlight unit of the liquid crystal display device is increased. The demand for light guide plates acting as a result is also rapidly increasing.

In general, a part of the conventional light guide plate for a liquid crystal display device has various kinds of additional patterns (for example, maximizing the scattering effect of light rays output from the lamp side) to improve the function of the liquid crystal display device, thereby improving the brightness of the liquid crystal display device. It is common to form additional reflection patterns, etc.), and conventionally, such additional patterns are formed on a part of the light guide plate using various techniques such as a printing method, a mold injection method using a corrosion solution, and a laser processing method using a laser beam. It was.

The printing method, which is one of the additional pattern forming methods described above, places a printing plate on the upper part of the light guide plate to be processed, and then applies and prints an ink solution to each hole of the printing plate to apply the additional pattern to a part of the conduit plate to be processed. It consists of a procedure for forming, and is mainly used for forming additional patterns of medium and large light guide plates.

In addition, the above-described mold injection method consists of a process of placing the light guide plate base material to be processed in a mold frame, forming an additional pattern on a part of the light guide plate base material to be processed through the corrosion solution, and injecting the light guide plate base material. It is used to form additional patterns of small and medium-sized light guide plates, and furthermore, the previous laser processing method consists of a procedure of outputting a constant pulse of laser light to a light guide plate to be processed to form additional patterns on a part of the light guide plate to be processed. It is used to form additional patterns of medium and large light guide plates.

However, these conventional methods of forming additional patterns have unnecessary disadvantages, and unless additional measures are taken to improve them, the additional patterns formed through them have a very low quality.

For example, under a conventional printing method, since a certain size gap is inevitably formed between the printing plate surface and the process light guide plate, the ink liquid is uniformly applied to the factory light guide plate unless special measures are taken. There are many difficulties to apply, and eventually, due to the non-uniform application of the ink liquid, the final finished additional pattern is inevitably deteriorated in quality.

In addition, under the conventional mold injection method, since the corrosion solution is a liquid substance which is extremely difficult to uniformly control the coating amount, it is difficult to uniformly apply the corrosion solution to the light guide plate to be processed unless special measures are taken. Inevitably, due to the non-uniform application of such a corrosion solution, the final finished additional pattern is inevitably deteriorated in quality. In particular, such a mold injection method is very unsuitable for forming an additional pattern of a large and thin light guide plate in consideration of the size of the mold, the corrosive action of the corrosion solution, and the like.

Furthermore, under the above-described conventional laser processing method, since the laser light is generated by a pulse wave which is extremely difficult to uniformly adjust the amplitude, the frequency, etc., the laser light is uniform to the process light guide plate unless special measures are taken. In order to output the same, a lot of difficulties are inevitably followed, and as a result, due to the non-uniform output of the laser light, the final finished additional pattern is inevitably deteriorated in quality. In particular, such a laser processing method shows a fatal disadvantage that the geometric shape of the additional pattern cannot be variously implemented into a rectangle, a triangle, a circle, a sphere, a hemisphere, and the like.

In addition to the above-mentioned problems, the conventional printing method, mold injection method, laser processing method, etc. have a fatal disadvantage that the design data of the additional pattern (for example, the CAD data of the additional pattern) is not directly utilized by communication between devices. have.

That is, under the conventional system, the printing apparatus, the mold apparatus, and the laser processing apparatus do not actively acquire the design data of the additional pattern and proceed with the additional pattern forming process. Instead, the producer (for example, a light guide plate manufacturer, In the state of being manually set by the liquid crystal display device manufacturer, the additional pattern forming company, etc.), there is a fatal disadvantage of performing a series of additional pattern forming processes irrespective of the additional pattern design data.

Of course, under these shortcomings, although there is a difference between the design data of the additional pattern and the device setting details of the producer side at the printing apparatus, the mold apparatus, and the laser processing apparatus side, the series of additional pattern forming processes without being aware of this may be performed. Inevitably, in this situation, the additionally completed additional pattern is inevitably deteriorated in quality.

Perhaps, of course, under the harsh conditions in which the above-mentioned problems exist, producers (eg, LGP manufacturers, LCD display producers, value-added pattern makers, etc.) will be able to flexibly respond to the recent consumer demand for high quality products. As a result, the company's competitiveness in products is greatly reduced.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to adjust the light guide plate back and forth (i.e., move to X axis) according to the additional pattern design data, and according to the light guide plate supply element which can supply the light guide plate on the process progress area, according to the additional pattern design data, An additional pattern forming element, a preceding light guide plate supply element, and an additional pattern forming element capable of directly hitting the light guide plate to form an additional pattern described in the additional pattern design data on a part of the light guide plate while moving up and down (i.e., moving along the Y axis or Z axis). While supplying power to the pattern forming element side, the additional pattern design data is analyzed to generate driving data corresponding thereto, and then the generated driving data is transferred to each of the preceding components, thereby providing the light guide plate supply element and the additional pattern forming element. Systematically arranging and providing control elements for controlling the back to achieve a movement matching the additional pattern design data. By inducing the light guide plate to be effectively provided with an additional pattern of uniform quality corresponding to the additional pattern design data, the light guide plate at the producer (e.g., light guide plate manufacturer, liquid crystal display device manufacturer, additional pattern forming company, etc.) While improving the quality of the additional patterns, it is to flexibly respond to the recent consumer desire for high quality products and guide them to maximize their product competitiveness in an optimal state.

Other objects of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings.

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the light guide plate is installed in a main body of a device defining a process progress region, and is moved back and forth of the process progress region while supplying the light guide plate to the process progress region while the process target light guide plate is mounted.

After generating, the generated additional pattern forming unit driving data and the light guide plate supply table unit driving data are transferred to the additional pattern forming unit and the light guide plate supply table unit, respectively, so that the additional pattern forming unit and the light guide plate supply table unit are added to the additional pattern. Including an additional pattern formation control unit for forming an additional pattern corresponding to the additional pattern design data on a part of the light guide plate while respectively performing operations corresponding to the forming unit driving data and the light guide plate supply table unit driving data; Additional pattern type for light guide plate Initiate growth.

While supplying power to the device, the additional pattern design data is analyzed, the corresponding drive data is generated, and the generated drive data is transferred to each of the above components, so that the light guide plate supply element, the additional pattern forming element, and the like are added patterns. The present invention provides a systematic arrangement of control elements for controlling the movements that match the design data. Under the implementation environment of the light guide plate, the light guide plate can be effectively provided with an additional pattern of uniform quality corresponding to the additional pattern design data, and eventually, a producer (eg, a light guide plate manufacturer, a liquid crystal display device manufacturer, an additional pattern forming company, etc.). On the other hand, while maximizing the quality of the light guide plate additional pattern, it can flexibly respond to the recent consumer desire for high quality products, thereby maximizing its product competitiveness in an optimal state.

It serves to supply power to them.

Further, the guide frame management unit 165 controlled by the additional pattern forming control unit 161 utilizes the operation information stored in the operation information storage unit 163 and generates a series of guide frames 400 as shown in FIG. 3. ), And then outputs / publishes the generated guide frame 400 through the manager terminal 300, so that the guide frame 400 is managed by the manager (for example, a person in charge of managing the formation process of the additional pattern for the light guide plate). Through, it is to support to be able to deliver the various settings desired by the additional pattern formation control unit 110 side.

In the situation in which such an infrastructure is equipped, as shown in FIG. 4, a series of process starting points (of course, such process starting points may be set according to a situation, a preset auto start point, and an administrator input start point input by an administrator). And various modifications can be made), and the additional pattern design data receiving unit 167 controlled by the additional pattern forming control unit 161 communicates with the manager terminal 300 and adds the additional output. It receives a pattern design data (additional pattern CAD data) (for example, coordinate data of the additional pattern, geometric shape data of the additional pattern, etc.) and stores and manages it.

In this way, in the situation where the additional pattern design data (additional pattern CAD data) (for example, the coordinate data of the additional pattern, the geometric shape data of the additional pattern, etc.) is stored and managed, the light guide plate supply controlled by the additional pattern formation control unit 161 is provided. The table unit driving data calculation unit 170 reads the additional pattern design data to determine the additional pattern design value, and then stores the identified additional pattern design value in the operation information storage unit 163 for each additional pattern design value. Driving reference data (e.g., reference data that " when the additional pattern has design values such as coordinates SS, FF, VV, ..., etc., the light guide plate supply table must move in any direction by a certain interval for a certain time period >) In comparison with the above, the light guide plate supply table unit driving data corresponding to the additional pattern design value (for example, the light guide plate supply table movement control motor driving data, Will serve to calculate the gwangpan vacuum suction module drive data, and so on) (see Fig. 4).

In addition, the light guide plate supply table unit calculated by the light guide plate supply table unit driving data calculation unit 170 while communicating with the light guide plate supply table unit 120 on the side of the light guide plate supply table unit driver 171 controlled by the additional pattern formation control unit 161.

It serves to control to achieve an operation corresponding to the drive data (eg, the light guide plate supply table movement control motor drive data, the light guide plate vacuum suction module drive data, etc.) (see FIG. 4).

As a result, in this situation, in the state where the light guide plate 200 is mounted on the light guide plate supply table unit 120, the light guide plate 200 is moved along the arrow A, moving back and forth in the process progress region (ie, moving in the X axis). It is possible to normally perform the role of supplying to the process progress area (see Fig. 1).

On the other hand, according to the above-described procedure, in the situation where the additional pattern design data (additional pattern CAD data) (e.g., coordinate data of the additional pattern, geometric shape data of the additional pattern, etc.) is stored and managed, it is controlled by the additional pattern formation control unit. As shown in FIG. 5, the additional pattern forming unit driving data calculator 168 reads the additional pattern design data, determines the additional pattern design value, and then stores the identified additional pattern design value in the operation information storage unit 163. The device driving reference data for each additional pattern design value previously stored in (for example, if the additional pattern has design values such as coordinates SS, FF, VV, etc., the shaft support is moved in a certain direction by a certain interval for some time. When the reference data has a design value such as the coordinates SS, FF, VV, ..., etc., the drive shaft moves in a certain direction by a certain interval for a certain time. Calculating additional pattern forming unit drive data (e.g., shaft support movement control motor drive data, drive shaft movement control motor drive data, etc.) corresponding to the additional pattern design value, in comparison with the reference data; Will be performed.

In addition, the additional pattern forming unit driving unit 169 controlled by the additional pattern forming control unit 161 communicates with the additional pattern forming unit 110 and the additional pattern calculated by the additional pattern forming unit driving data calculation unit 168. The forming unit driving data (e.g., the shaft support movement control motor drive data, the drive shaft movement control motor drive data, etc.) is transferred to the shaft support movement control motor 118 and the drive shaft movement control motor 112, and the shaft support movement control motor ( 118), the drive shaft movement control motor 112, etc. perform the operation corresponding to the additional pattern forming unit drive data (e.g., the shaft support movement control motor drive data, the drive shaft movement control motor drive data, etc.), and directly guide the light guide plate 200. By hitting, it plays a role of controlling so that the additional pattern 201 can be normally formed on a part of the light guide plate 200.

As a result, in this situation, the additional pattern forming unit 110 moves along the arrow B or C to the left and right or up and down of the process progress area (ie, Y-axis) in association with the movement of the light guide plate supply table unit 120. Alternatively, while moving along the Z axis, the process target light guide plate 200 may be directly hit to form an additional pattern 201 on a part of the light guide plate 200 (see FIG. 1).

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, under another embodiment of the present invention, the above-described light guide plate supply table unit 120 supplies the process target light guide plate 200 to the process progress region while being installed in the apparatus main body 101.

In this case, the light guide plate supply roller unit 154 rotates in engagement with each other, and communicates with the light guide plate supply rollers 151 and 152 for supplying the light guide plate 200 to the process progress region, and the additional pattern formation control unit 160. After receiving the light guide plate supply roller unit drive data from the formation control unit 160 side, the light guide plate supply rollers 151 and 152 are rotated according to the received light guide plate supply roller unit drive data, and an additional pattern is designed on a part of the light guide plate 200. The light guide plate feed roller rotation control motor 153 supporting the additional pattern 201 corresponding to the data may be closely combined.

Of course, when the light guide plate supply table unit 120 is replaced with the light guide plate supply roller unit 154, the flatness of the light guide plate 200 can be further improved on the producer side, thereby adding more uniform quality. The pattern 201 can be formed more quickly and effectively in the light guide plate 200.

Of course, in the situation where the light guide plate supply table unit 120 is replaced with the light guide plate supply roller unit 154, as shown in FIG. 7, on the side of the additional pattern formation control unit 160, the light guide plate described above in its computing system. Instead of the supply table unit drive data calculation unit and the light guide plate supply table unit driver, the light guide plate supply roller unit drive data calculation unit 172, the light guide plate supply roller unit driver 173, and the like are further arranged.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the light guide plate supply roller unit driving data calculation unit 172 controlled by the additional pattern formation control unit 101 reads the additional pattern design data to grasp the additional pattern design value, and then grasps it. The light guide plate when the additional pattern design value is stored in the operation information storage unit 163 and the device driving reference data for each additional pattern design value (for example, <the additional pattern has design values such as coordinates SS, FF, VV, ..., etc.) The feed rollers supply roller unit drive data (e.g., the light guide plate feed roller rotation control motor) corresponding to the additional pattern design value, compared to the reference data that the feed rollers should rotate in some direction by a certain interval for some time. Driving data) is calculated.

In addition, the light guide plate supply roller unit driving unit 173 controlled by the additional pattern formation control unit 161 communicates with the light guide plate supply roller unit 154 and is supplied by the light guide plate supply roller unit driving data calculation unit 172. The roller unit driving data is transferred to the light guide plate feed roller rotation control motor 153 side, and the light guide plate feed roller rotation control motor 153 side corresponds to the light guide plate feed roller rotation control motor drive data (for example, the light guide plate feed roller rotation control motor drive data). It serves to control to achieve the operation (see Fig. 8).

As a result, in this situation, the light guide plate feed roller rotation control motor 153 receives the light guide plate feed roller unit drive data, and then rotates the light guide plate feed rollers 151 and 152 according to the received light guide plate feed roller unit drive data. It is possible to normally perform the role of supporting the additional pattern 201 corresponding to the additional pattern design data to a part of the 200 is normally formed.

Of course, even in this situation, the side of the additional pattern forming unit 110 moves along the arrow B or C to the left and right or up and down the process progress area (ie, Y-axis or Z) in association with the movement of the light guide plate supply roller unit 154. Moving to the axis), the target light guide plate 200 can be hit directly, so that the additional pattern 201 can be normally formed on a part of the light guide plate 200 (see FIG. 6).

As such, even in an environment in which a part of the component is changed, according to the present invention, the light guide plate 200 may be supplied to the process progress area by moving the light guide plate 200 back and forth (ie, moving in the X axis) according to the additional pattern design data. Depending on the light guide plate supply element and the additional pattern design data, the light guide plate 200 is directly hit by moving left and right or up and down (i.e., moving along the Y axis or Z axis), and the part of the light guide plate 200 is described in the additional pattern design data. After supplying power to the additional pattern forming element capable of forming the additional pattern 201, the light guide plate supplying element, and the additional pattern forming element, the additional pattern design data is analyzed to generate driving data corresponding thereto. The generated driving data is transmitted to each of the above components, so that the light guide plate supply element, the additional pattern forming element, and the like can achieve a movement matching the additional pattern design data. Since the control elements for controlling and the like are systematically arranged and provided, even in another implementation environment of the present invention, the light guide plate 200 can effectively receive the additional pattern 201 having a uniform quality corresponding to the additional pattern design data. As a result, producers (eg, LGP producers, LCD makers, additional pattern makers, etc.) can flexibly respond to recent consumer demand for high quality products while improving the quality of LGP additional patterns 201. Thus, the company's product competitiveness can be maximized in an optimal state.

The present invention described above has an overall useful effect in various products requiring the formation of additional patterns.
