In general, a display substrate refers to a flat display substrate such as an LCD, an OLED, and a PDP. Such a display substrate is typically completed by attaching two substrates made by a pre-process to each other. For example, in the case of an LCD substrate, one substrate may be a color filter substrate and the other substrate may be an array substrate.

Therefore, there is a need for a laminating process for laminating two substrates at the time of manufacturing the display substrate. In the laminating process, a seal is applied to the surface of one of the two substrates, and another substrate is aligned thereon, followed by laminating. After the laminating process, a curing process for curing the yarn proceeds.

The curing process is a process of applying heat and pressure to the substrate to cure the seal. A conventional curing apparatus used in this curing process is Korean Patent Publication No. 1994-0011986. Conventional curing apparatuses cure a plurality of bonded substrates at one time.

Hereinafter, the functions and effects of the curing apparatus for manufacturing a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention constructed as described above will be described.

FIG. 8 is a view for explaining a state of the curing apparatus for manufacturing a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention before sintering the substrate, and FIG. 9 is a view for explaining a squeezed state of a curing apparatus for manufacturing a display substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention FIG. In Figs. 8 and 9, the hardening chamber describes the operation by taking the second hardening chamber as an example.

When the gate valve 220 of the curing chamber 200 is opened as shown in FIG. 8, the substrate 12 is carried into the curing chamber 200 by the substrate transfer device 800. At this time, the inside of the hardening chamber 200 is maintained at a temperature of about 30 to 150 ° C. at a room temperature or higher by the hot air supplied by the hot air supply unit 400.

Then, when the substrate transfer apparatus 800 places the substrate 12 on the support pin 270, the substrate transfer apparatus 800 then goes out of the hardening chamber 200, and the gate valve 120 is closed. Thereafter, curing for the substrate 12 is started. However, the actual curing of the substrate 12 is carried out from the moment the substrate 12 is brought into the curing chamber 200. That is, the curing is already progressed by the atmosphere temperature inside the curing chamber 200.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9, when the substrate 12 is supported by the support pins 270, the compression plate 240 is lifted. The compression plate 240 is already heated to a considerable temperature by the lower heater 141. The compression plate 240 can be heated to a temperature of approximately 60 to 200 ° C.

The raised compression plate 240 lifts the substrate 10 to push the substrate 12 to the ceiling surface inside the hardening chamber 200 and finally the substrate 12 is moved between the compression plate 240 and the ceiling surface Lt; / RTI > At this time, the temperature of the ceiling surface can also be heated to 60 to 200 ° C. The pressing force may be about 0.01 to 0.6 MPa.

By this operation, the yarn applied to the substrate 12 is cured, and the two substrates 12 are completely bonded together. When the substrates 12 are attached together, the compression plate 240 is lowered again, and the substrate 12 is seated on the support pins 270. At this time, the lowering stroke of the compression plate 240 is limited by the stopper 160. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the heated compression plate 240 from overpressing the diaphragm 282 of the elevation member 280, thereby minimizing damage to the elevation member 280.

The gate valve 220 is opened to transfer the substrate transfer apparatus 800 into the hardening chamber 200 to lift the substrate 12 from the support pins 270 and transfer the substrate 12 out of the hardening chamber 200.

Meanwhile, a plurality of the curing chambers 200 of the curing apparatus for manufacturing a display substrate may be provided. Thus, for several to several tens of substrates at the same time, each individual curing chamber can be individually controlled to perform curing on the substrate.
