FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a substrate-glass bonding method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The method of attaching a substrate to a glass according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: (S11) placing a joined substrate-glass, (S12) fixing a bonded substrate-glass, (S13 (Step S15), the step of squeezing the stage (step S14), the step of injecting the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive (step S15), the step of removing the primary bubbles S16, the step of leveling the stage S17, the step of removing secondary bubbles S18, (S19) of removing the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive, and a step (S20) of hardening the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive.

In the step S11 of placing the joined substrate-glass, the joined substrate S and the glass G are placed on one surface of the stage 20. [

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the step S11 in FIG.

As shown in Fig. 8, an indentation spacer is attached to the rim of the upper surface of the substrate S. As shown in FIG. 8, a first point-to-point spacer, to which an adhesive 101 on the upper surface is exposed, is attached to the upper surface of the substrate S in three directions, And a second point-of-use spacer to which the release paper 102 is attached and the upper surface of which is not exposed is attached to the other edge.

The glass G is aligned with the substrate S and placed on the substrate S on which the first and second pointing spacers are attached on the upper surface. The first pointing spacer on which the adhesive 101 on the upper surface is exposed is adhered to the lower surface of the glass G and the second pointing spacer on which the release paper 102 remains is not adhered to the lower surface of the glass G.

Therefore, the rim where the second point-wearing spacer is located is in an unfused state. That is, the state where the substrate S and the glass G are bonded is such that the rim where the second spot-attaching spacer is located is opened and the substrate S and the glass G are adhered to each other by the first spot- .

In step S11, not only when the substrate S is placed on the stage 20 in a state where the substrate S and the glass G are stitched together but also when the substrate S is placed on the stage 20, The point G wearing spacers are adhered to the upper surface rim of the substrate S and the glass G is aligned with the substrate S so that the rim of the lower surface of the glass G contacts the first and second point wearing spacers When the substrate S and the glass G are brought together on the stage 20 so that the first pointing spacer and the bottom surface of the glass G are adhered to each other by being seated on the first and second pointing spacers, . The glass G is joined to the substrate S in a state in which the release paper 102 of the second pointing spacer is not removed.

The substrate S may be a liquid crystal display panel or an organic thin film display panel. Alternatively, the substrate S may be a TFT substrate constituting a liquid crystal display panel or an organic thin film display panel.

The glass G may be a sealing glass constituting a liquid crystal display panel or an organic thin film display panel, or a tempered glass attached on a liquid crystal display panel or an organic thin film display panel. Or the glass (G) may be a touch screen panel (TSP) or a glass with a TSP attached thereto.

The supporting piece 25 is inserted between the glass G and the stopper 22 and the clamping part 40 is operated so that the clamper 41 is moved to the glass G to be pressed.

FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrams for explaining the step S13 of FIG.

9, when the substrate S and glass G joined together in step S11 are placed on the stage 20, the glass G positioned at the relatively upper portion is deflected in the central portion by its own weight Can occur. This is because the rim of the glass G is supported by the first and second point wearing spacers, but the glass G is not supported at the other portions.

Or deflection may occur in some areas if warpage exists depending on the manufacturing state or storage state of the glass (G).

The substrate S is in contact with the upper surface of the stage 20, so that the substrate S is maintained in a generally flat state.

The area where deflection occurs in the glass (G) can be visually confirmed or a distance measuring sensor can be used.

As a method of visually checking, there is a method of finding an oil mark which occurs as the glass (G) and the substrate (S) come into contact with each other.

When a distance measuring sensor is used, a distance measuring sensor (not shown) is configured to be movable in the gantry 52, and a reference distance is set to a distance between the edge portion of the glass G supported by the distance measuring sensor and the first point- The gantry 52 and the distance measuring sensor are moved to measure the distance to the entire surface of the glass G so that the measured area farther than the reference distance can be identified as the area where the deflection occurs.

The picker 61 is lowered to come into close contact with the upper surface of the glass G and the picker 61 and the glass G are brought into close contact with each other, As shown in Fig. 9, the picker 61 is raised so that the picker 61 vacuum-absorbs the corresponding region of the glass G and lifts it, thereby advancing the planarization of the region.

The reference height of the planarization becomes the height U of the rim portion of the glass G supported by the first point attaching spacer. Therefore, the height at which the picker 61 is raised, that is, the height at which the glass G is picked up in the area where deflection occurs, is equal to or less than the height g of the first pointing spacer.

The picker 61 can maintain the state after the glass G is vacuum-adsorbed and lifted in the step S13 of flattening the glass until the step S20 of curing the liquid-phase adhesive is proceeded.

In the step of tilting the stage (S14), as shown in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3, the tilting drive section 30 is operated to tilt the stage 20 in one direction. As described above, the stage 20 is tilted so that one side where the stopper 22 and the clamping portion 40 are located is downwardly moved downward. The picker 61 is supported by the gantry 52 installed on the stage 20 so that the glass G can be held in a vacuum state by being attracted even when the stage 20 is tilted.

The substrate S and the glass G to which the substrate S and the glass G are joined are not sealed due to the second point-attaching spacer, but are positioned so as to be in an upper state in a state where the opened side is tilted.

11 is a view for explaining the adhesive supplier of the substrate-glass cementing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention and the step S15 of FIG.

In step S15 of injecting the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive, the liquid-phase pressure-sensitive adhesive R is injected into the space between the substrate S and the glass.

To this end, the substrate-glass bonding apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive supply unit. As shown in FIG. 11, the adhesive supply portion includes a deaerator 81, a pressure-sensitive adhesive injector 82, and a discharge nozzle 83.

As the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive (R), a resin can be used as a liquid photo-curing resin. The liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive (R) may contain air bubbles. The deaerator 81 removes bubbles contained in the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive R stored by a method such as forming a vacuum state in a tank (not shown) storing the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive R.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive injector 82 is connected to the defoaming device 81 and the discharge nozzle 83. The pressure-sensitive adhesive injector 82 controls the pressure of the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive to be discharged through the discharge nozzle 83 in advance. The exposure capacity of the liquid-phase adhesive can correspond to the volume of the space formed between the joined substrate S and the glass G, and the horizontal cross-sectional area of the space surrounded by the first and second- Can be calculated as the product of the height of the wear spacer.

11, the discharge nozzle 83 is inserted into the rim portion where the glass G and the substrate S are not adhered due to the second point-attaching spacers to form a liquid phase between the glass G and the substrate S, The pressure sensitive adhesive (R) is injected. More specifically, the discharge nozzle 83 is inserted between the release paper 102 of the second pointing spacer and the glass (G).

The space between the glass G and the substrate S is kept close to the rectangular parallelepiped and the liquid pressure sensitive adhesive R is held between the glass G and the substrate S In the case of the present invention.

12 is a diagram for explaining the step S16 of FIG.

In the primary bubble removing step S16, after the predetermined amount of the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive R is injected between the glass G and the substrate S through the discharge nozzle 83, the stage 20 is tilted for a certain period of time State.

The bubbles contained in the liquid pressure sensitive adhesive R stored in the deaerator 81 are removed but fine bubbles can be formed in the liquid pressure sensitive adhesive R during the injection of the liquid pressure sensitive adhesive R. [

12, when the stage 20 is maintained in a tilted state, the bubbles B contained in the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive R injected between the glass G and the substrate S are transferred to the surface of the liquid- And the air bubble (B) bursts on the surface of the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive and is naturally removed.

When it is confirmed that the bubbles B have been removed in the primary bubble removing step S16, a step S17 of horizontally moving the stage proceeds.

In the step S17 of horizontally moving the stage, the tilting drive unit 30 is actuated to tilt the stage 20 in the opposite direction to be able to relax. The substrate S and the glass G bonded together are also lifted together with the stage 20 and the liquid pressure sensitive adhesive R injected between the substrate S and the glass G spreads toward the second point- (S) and the glass (G).

13 is a diagram for explaining steps S18 and S19 of FIG.

In the secondary bubble removing step (S18), bubbles in the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive (R) spread to the space (S) and the glass (G)

13, the bubble removing unit is disposed between the substrate S and the glass G to which the substrate S and the glass G are adhered. The substrate-glass bonding apparatus 1 includes a bubble removing unit, Includes suction nozzles (90, 91) on both sides to be inserted.

As shown in FIG. 13, in the secondary bubble removing step S18, the suction nozzles 90 and 91 are inserted into both sides of the second point attaching spacer to suck and remove the bubbles contained in the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive R.

After the stage 20 is relaxed in step S17, the liquid-phase adhesive R spreads widely in the space between the substrate S and the glass (G). In the case where the ejection nozzle 83 is inserted into the central portion of the second pointing spacer to inject the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive R in step S15, as shown in FIG. 13, the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive (R) First, it touches the center of the rim and then both corners are filled.

Accordingly, the suction nozzles 90 and 91 are inserted into both sides of the rim where the second point-attaching spacer is located to suck up the liquid-phase pressure-sensitive adhesive R extending to both corners, remove the air bubbles contained in the liquid- Air existing at both corners is extracted so that the pressure sensitive adhesive (R) completely fills both corners.

Since the liquid pressure sensitive adhesive R is filled from the central portion of the rim where the second point attaching spacer is located, in the step S19 of removing the release paper, the release paper 102 of the second pointing spacer It can be removed from the center.

The suction nozzles 90 and 91 are removed and both the release paper 102 and the glass plate G are removed from the substrate G and the substrate W. In this case, S are entirely adhered to each other.

14 is a view for explaining the step S20 of FIG.

14, a plurality of UV light sources 71 are turned on to cure the liquid-phase pressure-sensitive adhesive R injected between the glass G and the substrate S in step S20 of curing the liquid-phase pressure-sensitive adhesive.

In step S20 of curing the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive, curing can be performed from the portion where the picker 61 is vacuum-adsorbed. The portion where the picker 61 is vacuum-absorbed is the region where the deflection of the glass G occurs, so that the glass G can be cured in a flat state by preferentially curing the region.

When the hardening of the portion where the picker 61 is vacuum-absorbed for the first time is completed, the curing can proceed sequentially from the center portion to the outermost portion.

For example, after completion of the curing to the central portion, the process of moving the gantry supporter 51 forward or rearward of the cured portion to progress the curing to the front or rear region of the cured portion is repeated, S) surface can be completed.

Alternatively, after the hardening of the portion where the picker 61 is vacuum-absorbed for the first time is completed, the area where the deflection of the glass G is generated is confirmed again. If there is an area where deflection occurs, the picker 61 The glass G of the corresponding region is lifted up to the reference height to be planarized and then the UV light source 71 is turned on so that the curing is progressed for the corresponding region, Can be completed.

When the curing of the entire surface of the glass (G) is completed, the adhesion of the glass (G) and the substrate (S) is completed.

The substrate-glass laminating apparatus and the laminating method according to the present invention can stably perform a laminating process even on a large substrate which is difficult to carry out a laminating process in a chamber environment.

Particularly, since the substrate and the glass are tilted so that the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive is injected by its own weight and the tilted state is maintained for a predetermined time to remove the bubbles contained in the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive primarily, Can be minimized.

Further, since the partial planarization and hardening operations are performed on the glass, the problem of deflection of the glass caused in the laminating process for the large glass can be solved.

Further, in the direction in which the liquid pressure-sensitive adhesive is injected, the suction nozzle is moved between the substrate and the glass to remove the air bubbles of the liquid-phase pressure-sensitive adhesive, and at the same time, the residual air is not generated in the area, so that the defective rate due to air bubbles can be minimized.
