Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
Generally, a flexible display device refers to a display device that can display visual information even when the display is formed on a flexible substrate instead of a thick glass substrate, even if it is folded or bent.
Examples of the flexible substrate to be applied to such a flexible display device include a plastic substrate made of an organic material, a substrate having a laminated structure of an organic material and an inorganic material, and a substrate containing a thin metal such as stainless steel or aluminum.
Examples of the flexible display to be applied to the flexible display device include a cholesteric LCD, a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC), an electrophoretic device, and an organic light emitting diode (OLED).
For example, OLED panels are widely used as flexible displays in mobile phones.
An example of such a flexible display device is disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2007-0071442 entitled " Flexible Display Device and Manufacturing Method Thereof ".
A "flexible display device" of Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2008-0065738 has also been proposed.
Such flexible display devices include, for example, an OLED panel and a drive IC and a FPCB, which are driver modules connected to the OLED panel.

In order to solve such a problem, the
However, since these components are very weak in structural strength and very sensitive to electricity, the operator can not handle the product by hand, and only the
Therefore, with such conventional manual operations, not only the working speed is lowered but also the recycling rate of normal component parts is lowered.
It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an OLED display device capable of preventing component parts from being broken due to static electricity, It is possible to automatically separate the IC and / or the FPCB, thereby remarkably improving the operation efficiency and significantly increasing the recycling rate of the normal component parts.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for separating a drive IC and an FPCB from a flexible display, the apparatus comprising: a hollow box type structure; and a flexible display, a drive IC, and an FPCB A main body having a cover covering the upper surface; A plurality of suction ports are formed on the upper surface of the body portion, vacuum ports are respectively formed in the suction ports to fix the flexible display, the drive IC, and the FPCB at a vacuum pressure; A heating unit having a ACF connection part between the flexible display and the drive IC, and a heater block heating and softening the ACF connection part between the drive IC and the FPCB; A wire driving unit for separating the ACF connection portion of the FPCB and the drive IC softened by the heating unit from each other; And a pusher driving part for separating the drive IC from the ACF connection part of the flexible IC and the drive IC in the softened state.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for separating a drive IC from a flexible display, comprising: a hollow box type structure; a flexible display and a drive IC to be separated are arranged on an upper surface, A cover body covering the main body; A plurality of suction ports formed on an upper surface of the body portion, and vacuum ports formed in the suction ports to fix the flexible display and the drive IC at a vacuum pressure; A heating unit having a heater block for heating and softening the ACF connection portion of the flexible display and the drive IC; A pusher driving part for disconnecting the drive IC from the ACF connection part of the flexible IC and the drive IC in the softened state; And the pusher drive portion is configured to push and separate the drive IC from the ACF connection portion of the flexible display and the drive IC in the softened state as the pusher moves.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for separating an FPCB from a flexible display and a drive IC, the apparatus having a hollow box type structure, wherein a flexible display, a drive IC, and an FPCB A body portion having a cover covering the upper surface; A plurality of suction ports are formed on the upper surface of the body portion, vacuum ports are respectively formed in the suction ports to fix the flexible display, the drive IC, and the FPCB at a vacuum pressure; A heating unit having a heater block for heating and softening an ACF connection portion of the drive IC and the FPCB; And a wire driver for separating the ACF connection portion of the FPCB and the drive IC softened by the heating portion from each other.
According to the present invention, a flexible display (OLED panel), a drive IC, and an FPCB fixed to a main body by vacuum suction are softened by a plurality of heater blocks, and in such a softened state, After the FPCB is separated from the drive IC, the drive IC is disconnected from the ACF connection portion of the flexible display and the drive IC in a softened state by using the electrically driven pusher drive portion do.
Therefore, according to the present invention, since the operator does not directly separate the component parts by using his / her hands, it is possible to prevent the component parts from being damaged due to the static electricity, and to easily separate the drive IC and the FPCB from the flexible display , The operation efficiency can be greatly improved, and an improved effect can be obtained that can greatly increase the recycling rate of normal component parts.
Alternatively, according to the present invention, the operator can easily separate the drive IC and / or the FPCB selectively from the OLED panel, and thus can be used for various separating operations and applications of the flexible display device.
