Description of the invention (1) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a substrate cassette, particularly to a substrate cassette for placing a plurality of glass substrates, and the substrate g can avoid the generation of each glass J plate. Excessive bending can prevent each of the glass substrates from being scratched. [Prior art, personal computers such as special assistants due to liquid crystal contamination and the like usually include multiple pieces of glass substrates between the substrates and damaged substrates. The display panel is thin and light, consumes less power, and is non-radiative, so it is widely used in notebook computers, personal information products, and even the trend of replacing traditional CRT monitors. Generally speaking, a liquid crystal display has an upper substrate, a lower substrate, and a liquid crystal material filled in the upper substrate and the substrate. The upper substrate and the lower substrate are usually / consisted of, and are mounted in a liquid crystal display panel during the manufacturing process. In the substrate box, it is convenient for the operator to have glass substrates on the same day, and to avoid the glass substrates during transportation. Please refer to Figure 1. Figure 1 is a front view of a conventional substrate box. A substrate box 1 contains There is a top plate 丨 2, and a top plate 丨 Tn as shown in the figure, the opposite bottom plate 14, and a plurality of side plates 16 connected to the top plate 12 and the bottom plate 14, and the side plate 16. In addition, each side plate 16 series contains a plurality of rhythm objects

200525228 五、發明說明(2) 18,各支撐物18的長度大約是5毫米,其係用來支撐各玻 璃基板2 0的邊緣部分,並將基板匣1 〇内的各個玻璃基板 2 0分隔開。 必須注意的是,由於各玻璃基板2 0均具有重量,所以當 各玻璃基板2 0平放於基板匣1〇之内時,各玻璃基板2〇會 因受有重力而產生彎曲(bending)現象。並且,因為各玻 璃基板20通常具有較大的尺寸’例如:680mmx 880mm,而 基板匣10之各支撐物18的長度只有5毫米,因此各玻璃基 板20的長度係遠大於各支撐物18的長度,所以各玻璃基 板2 0的重心與各支撐點a之間的距離較長,因而使得各玻 璃基板2 0更容易產生彎曲現象。此外,當各玻璃基板2 〇 的面積越大或厚度越薄,則各玻璃基板2 〇的彎曲量d便會 越大,尤其是隨著玻璃製造技術的進步,目前玻璃基板 2 0的厚度已經減少至〇. 4毫米,當此種超薄玻璃基板被放 置於習知基板匣1 〇之内時,各玻璃基板2 〇所產生的彎曲 量d更是可觀。 另一方面,於液晶顯示面板的製造過程中,各玻璃基板 2 0必須經過許多道薄膜沉積製程、黃光製程、以及蝕刻 製私4,以於各玻璃基板2〇上形成必要之電子元件或光 學元件,例如·薄膜電晶體與彩色濾光鏡等,進而經過 組裝程序而完成液晶顯示面板。因此,在液晶顯示面板 的製造過程中’操作人員或傳送機器必須將基板匣丨〇搬200525228 V. Description of the invention (2) 18, the length of each support 18 is about 5 mm, which is used to support the edge portion of each glass substrate 20, and separates each glass substrate 20 in the substrate cassette 10 open. It must be noted that, because each glass substrate 20 has a weight, when each glass substrate 20 is placed flat within the substrate cassette 10, each glass substrate 20 will be bent due to gravity. . Moreover, because each glass substrate 20 generally has a larger size, for example: 680mm × 880mm, and the length of each support 18 of the substrate cassette 10 is only 5 mm, the length of each glass substrate 20 is much longer than the length of each support 18 Therefore, the distance between the center of gravity of each glass substrate 20 and each support point a is long, so that each glass substrate 20 is more prone to bending. In addition, when the area or thickness of each glass substrate 20 is larger, the bending amount d of each glass substrate 20 will be larger, especially with the advancement of glass manufacturing technology, the current thickness of the glass substrate 20 has already It is reduced to 0.4 mm. When such an ultra-thin glass substrate is placed in the conventional substrate cassette 10, the amount of bending d produced by each glass substrate 20 is even more considerable. On the other hand, in the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display panel, each glass substrate 20 must go through many thin film deposition processes, yellow light processes, and etching processes 4 to form the necessary electronic components or components on each glass substrate 20. Optical elements, such as thin-film transistors and color filters, are then assembled to complete the liquid crystal display panel. Therefore, in the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display panel, the operator or the transfer machine must move the substrate cassette.

In general, in each process (in the substrate 20 chambe in mapp i), the position sensing is set, and the arm will be plate 20 inside. However, it is easy to locate the plate 20, ng sensor J is in position, and the substrate box 1 0 r), which is used to enter the substrate box 1 0. The device will first detect and take the measured position according to the positioning sense substrate box 10. If the substrate is caused by each process, the glass machine usually includes a positioning. The sensor 'is used to identify each glass substrate 2 0 in the substrate cassette 10 and a robot arm is used to take out each glass' and a reaction chamber (reactin) is prepared for each glass substrate 2 in a predetermined process. When it is loaded into each process machine, the position signals of the glass substrates 20 in the fixed substrate box 10 of each process machine are transmitted to the robot arm, and then the position signals measured by the manipulator are transmitted Each glass substrate is out ', and the bending amount d of the glass substrate 20 is too large and the glass substrate 20 is sent into the reaction chamber box 10. The positioning sensor of the machine misjudges the glass substrate 20 and the robot arm hits the substrate box 10 Inside the glass-based substrate The content of the invention is to provide a substrate cassette to solve the aforementioned problems.
