Description

201111061 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於液晶面板等之平面顯示面板的製造,尤 其關於對基板上進行密封材等的塗抹或液晶的滴入塗抹之 ' 塗抹裝置及塗抹方法。 【先前技術】 製造出液晶面板等之以往技術,其一例有下列所提案 之裝置,亦即,具備有用以在真空狀態下進行處理之複數 個真空處理室與在大氣壓狀態下進行處理之複數個大氣壓 處理室,並於此等真空處理室間與大氣壓處理室間以及真 空處理室與大氣壓處理室之間,分別設置有用以搬運玻璃 基板之與外部阻隔之機器人室,當在該處理室間搬運玻璃 基板時,機器人室的機器人可將該玻璃基板從一方的處理 室自動地搬運至另一方的處理室,來製造出液晶面板之裝 置(例如參照專利文獻1 )。 根據該以往技術,從玻璃基板至成爲液晶面板爲止之 處理完全不經由人手而自動地處理,所以幾乎無粒子污染 或分子污染之疑慮" 此外,其他例亦有下列所提案之技術,亦即在依循將 基板設置在真空處理室內所設置之對位裝置,塗抹密封材 於基板上,然後將此般經塗抹密封材的基板與其他基板之 2片基板貼合並使密封材硬化,最後再注入液晶之步驟下 製造出面板時,係在較大氣壓更低之壓力下進行將密封材 -5- 201111061 形成於基板上之塗抹作業,並且在大氣壓以下之壓力下進 行將2片基板貼合之作業(例如參照專利文獻2 )。 根據該以往技術,由於在較大氣壓更低之壓力下進行 密封材的塗抹及2片基板的貼合,故可減少混入於密封材 內之氣泡,降低導因於該氣泡之斷裂不良或間隙不良,或 是液晶注入不良之缺失,亦可減少在基板周邊所被捲起之 塵埃等雜質,降低雜質所造成之面板不良。 [先前技術文獻] [專利文獻] [專利文獻1]日本特開平6-324297號公報 [專利文獻2]日本特開平2001 - 1 3507號公報 【發明內容】 (發明所欲解決之問題) 在LCD (液晶面板)等之平面顯示面板的領域中,玻 璃基板的尺寸大型化乃逐年急遽地發展,伴隨於此,該製 造裝置亦朝向大型化發展。此外,爲了能夠在低成本下製 造,係強烈地要求可減少在製造裝置的內部或周邊所被捲 起之塵埃以提升良率,同時可抑制每1片面板的製造時間 〇 上述專利文獻1所記載之以往技術中,從玻璃基板來 製造液晶面板時,當將玻璃基板從大氣壓處理室搬運至真 空處理室時,從大氣壓狀態至真空狀態之真空啓動時間乃 -6 - 201111061 成爲耗損時間,而有總體製造時間增大之問題。 此外,上述專利文獻2所記載之以往技術中,當在真 空處理室內進行塗抹作業或基板的貼合作業時,朝向真空 處理室內之置入與取出是藉由人手或機器人等來進行,由 於保持在此等人手或機器人之基板的上下移動,使周圍的 ^ 空氣大幅流動,使塵埃伴隨於此空氣而被捲起。此外,即 使不使用相同的真空處理室,而是排列具有不同功能之複 數台裝置來製造面板時,當進行作爲對象工件之玻璃基板 的收授時,同樣在使用機器人等時,由於保持在此機器人 之基板的移動,使周圍的空氣大幅流動,該周圍空氣的流 動會使塵埃伴隨於此而被捲起。當具有此般塵埃的捲起時 ,塵埃附著於面板上成爲不良品之機率提高。 再者,上述專利文獻2所記載之以往技術中,作爲第1 例,當在真空環境內進行塗抹作業時,係在真空中塗抹密 封材後先進行大氣開放,散佈間隔材,並將紫外線照射在 經點焊的紫外線硬化樹脂而一邊暫時固定一邊貼合2片基 板。然後從定位裝置中取出被暫時固定的基板,裝入另外 準備的尼龍袋並將袋內予以減壓,亦即再次形成真空,藉 此加壓2片基板。接著進行加熱,使先前經塗抹的密封材 硬化而將2片基板黏著。最後從袋中取出,亦即再次開放 至大氣壓狀態,在大氣壓中封入液晶材料而製造出液晶面 板。因此’從密封材塗抹至完成液晶面板爲止前,係採用 2次形成真空狀態以及2次開放至大氣壓狀態之製造步驟。 此外,作爲第2例,當在真空環境內進行貼合作業時 201111061 ,係在大氣壓中塗抹密封材後散佈間隔材,將紫外線照射 在經點焊的紫外線硬化樹脂而暫時固定,並且在真空中貼 合2片基板。然後開放至大氣壓狀態,從定位裝置中取出 基板,藉由真空包裝法,亦即再次形成真空狀態而加壓2 片基板。接著在此真空包裝狀態下進行加熱,使先前經塗 抹的密封材硬化而將2片基板黏著。最後從袋中取出,亦 即再次開放至大氣壓狀態,在大氣壓中封入液晶材料而製 造出液晶面板。此例中,與上述相同,從密封材的塗抹至 完成液晶面板爲止前,係採用2次形成真空狀態以及2次開 放至大氣壓狀態之製造步驟。 其結果爲,不論於第1例或第2例,均在以抑制氣泡混 入於密封材中者爲目的下,在真空中進行從密封材的塗抹 至貼合工序爲止之塗抹作業、或是貼合作業的任一者,但 實際上在液晶注入前以熱硬化樹脂一邊加壓一邊壓著之時 點下,必需花費時間於再次形成真空狀態並製作真空環境 者。 在此,當使熱硬化樹脂的密封材硬化並將2片基板壓 著時,亦有不需形成真空狀態來進行加壓之製造方法。然 而,一般的液晶注入方式,較多係採用在下一階段的液晶 注入階段中,爲了使液晶面板內部成爲真空,在處理室內 使液晶面板先形成真空狀態,然後將液晶注入口浸入於液 晶後開放至大氣壓狀態,在大氣壓中將液晶擠壓至液晶面 板內部而塡入之製造方法。 本發明之目的在於提供一種可消除該問題,減少被捲 -8- 201111061 起的塵埃並同時縮短製造時間之塗抹裝置及塗抹方法。 (用以解決問題之技術手段) 爲了達成上述目的,本發明爲一種塗抹裝置,是在1

之複數個塗抹頭中的任一個塗抹頭與其他塗抹頭,係將種 類不同的塗抹材吐出於基板上。 此外,本發明之塗抹裝置中,基板載置機台,具備有 :在基板載置機台上使基板在一方向上移動之依據滾子所 構成的基板移動手段;以及在基板載置機台上吸附基板, 而在基板載置機台上將基板的位置固定之基板位置固定手 段。 此外,本發明之塗抹裝置中,基板載置機台,具備有 :在基板載置機台上,藉由將空氣強吹於基板而使基板在 一方向上移動之基板移動手段;以及在基板載置機台上吸 附基板,而在基板載置機台上將基板的位置固定之基板位 置固定手段。 再者,本發明之塗抹裝置,係藉由耐壓蓋來覆蓋架台 上之基板載置機台的移動範圍,並藉由空氣吸引手段,將 以耐壓蓋所覆蓋之內部設定爲較大氣壓更低之氣壓,於低 氣壓的環境內,藉由移重機的塗抹頭對載置於基板載置機 台之基板進行塗抹動作。 爲了達成上述目的,本發明爲一種塗抹方法,是在1 台或複數台的架台上設置有可使1個或複數個塗抹頭移動 地設置之移重機’塗抹頭係具備塡充有塗抹材料之塗抹材 收納筒與將來自塗抹材收納筒的塗抹材料吐出之噴嘴吐出 口,使移重機相對於裝載在架台上所設置之基板載置機台 -10- 201111061 的基板移動,並使塗抹頭相對於移重機移動,藉此使塗抹 頭相對於基板移動,而從噴嘴吐出口將塗抹材吐出於基板 上之塗抹方法’從外部將基板朝向基板載置機台之送入,

此外,本發明之塗抹方法,係在基板載置機台上,藉 由依據滾子所構成的基板移動手段使基板在一方向上移動 ,來進行基板載置機台上之基板的定位,吸附被定位後的 基板,而在基板載置機台上將基板的位置固定。 此外,本發明之塗抹方法,係在基板載置機台上,藉 -11 - 201111061 由將空氣強吹於基板而使基板在一方向上移動,來進行基 板載置機台上之基板的定位,吸附被定位後的基板,而在

焊材塗抹及液晶滴入塗抹之塗抹作業,此外,該塗抹作業 前後的基板收授是由送入、送出輸送帶來進行,藉此可在 將塵埃的捲起抑制在最低之狀態下,如同將3種功能集中 在1個裝置內實現。 藉此,與以往排列具有複數種功能之複數台裝置,並 使用共通的1台機器人或設置在裝置間之複數台機器人來 進行基板的收授之機器人搬運方式相比,可縮短基板的動 線(移動線),而能夠達到:第一、減少基板搬運時的粒 子污染,提升液晶面板製造時的良率,第二、縮小設置面 積,有效活用無塵室者。 【實施方式】 -12- 201111061 玻璃基板係逐年往大型化發展,當審視至目前爲止對 應大型化之傾向時’可得知裝置內進行定位之手段亦逐漸 大型化,該重量亦只有增加之一途。伴隨於此,不僅是作 爲驅動源之馬達的大型化與滾珠螺桿、導向軸承等軸承或 動力傳遞機構的大型化’以及馬達驅動器的大容量化或配 線規模的增大之機械系列,亦更導致包含控制系列之基板 驅動部的大規模化之問題。 另一方面,第2個問題,在裝置內外之玻璃基板的進 出中,亦存在著將此玻璃基板送入.送出之手段有大型化 、重量化之傾向的其他問題。 當審視製造程序時,目前爲止的作法是將塗抹密封材 於玻璃基板之裝置、以點焊材來塗抹電極墊之裝置、及將 液晶予以滴入塗抹之裝置之3種功能的裝置排列設置,並 將此與玻璃基板的貼合裝置連結。在此等3種裝置間,使 搬運機器人來進行大型玻璃基板的送入·送出。該送入· 送出動作中,不僅在水平移動,並且在裝置間的移動中或 是將玻璃基板裝載於各裝置的機台時,亦有在保持玻璃基 板之狀態下重複進行上下移動之情況,藉此,使周圍的空 氣上下流動,並使塵埃伴隨於此而被捲起。 因此,本發明中,係改變以機器人進行收授之方式, 而構成一種具備1個或複數個移重機(門型框部)之1個塗 抹裝置或塗抹系統,該1個或複數個移重機係具有上述各 裝置的塗抹功能(以下在無特別言明下,亦含有液晶的滴 入塗抹功能),並將共通的工件機台設置在各個移重機, -13- 201111061 將玻璃基板裝載於此工件機台,然後將裝載有玻璃基板之 該工件機台設置在依據上述各功能所分配置位置上,藉此 使用該移重機來進行該塗抹動作,藉由使載置有該基板之 相同工件機台的移動,來進行不同功能之裝置間的基板的 移動,可排出基板之依據機器人之搬運或依據人手之搬運 〇 此外’本發明中,基板之朝向該工件機台的送入或基 板從該工件機台的送出,是藉由送入側搬運輸送帶或送出 側搬運輸送帶來進行,此等搬運輸送帶中,係維持在使裝 載於其上之玻璃基板的高度與載置於工件機台時之玻璃基 板的高度爲相等。 從上述中可得知,在各個移重機進行塗抹動作之間, 玻璃基板處於裝載在相同工件機台之狀態,相對於工件機 台並未移動,在對玻璃基板之塗抹動作中,塵埃不會被捲 起。此外,在玻璃基板朝向工件機台之送入與送出時,係 在不會改變高度下(亦即被舉起或降低),從搬運輸送帶 往工件機台以及從工件機台往搬運輸送帶被搬運,藉此, 塵埃不會被捲起。因此可提升所製造之面板的良率。 此外,係藉由蓋來覆蓋包含全部的移重機與工件機台 及此等的驅動機構等之空間全體,並將該空間內的壓力降 低爲較大氣壓更低,以減少該空間內的空氣量,藉此構成 爲更可降低塵埃的捲起力並降低被捲起的塵埃量之構造。 以下使用圖面來說明本發明之實施形態。 第1圖係顯示本發明之塗抹裝置及塗抹方法之第1實施 -14- 201111061 形態的要部之外觀立體圖,1爲架台,2a、2b、2c爲移重 機’ 3爲橫樑’ 4a、4b爲X軸方向移動機構,5a、5b爲線性 滑軌’ 6爲工件機台(基板載置機台),7爲線性滑軌,8

此外,於架台1上,3台移重機2a〜2c係以橫跨工件機 台6的通路之方式所設置,於各個的兩端側,設置有由線 性馬達所構成之X軸方向移動機構(移重機移動機構)4a ' 4b。藉由該X軸方向移動機構4a、4b,可使此等移重機 2a〜2c分別獨立地沿著線性滑軌5a、5b在X軸方向上移動。 -15- 201111061 於各移重機2a〜2c的橫樑3之一方的側面’設置有複數

口,11爲基板送出口,12爲風扇過濾單元,13爲Z軸移動 機台’ Μ爲噴嘴,15爲基板吸附平板,16爲滾子,17爲玻 璃基板’ 18a爲送入側搬運輸送帶,18b爲送出側搬運輸送 帶’對應於第1圖之部分,係附加同一圖號並省略重複的 說明。 同圖中,架台1上的移重機2a〜2c與工件機台6所移動 之範圍,全體係以蓋9所覆蓋。於該蓋9的頂部,設置有複 數個風扇過濾單元1 2。於此蓋9的基板送入側a,設置有用 以將從送入側搬運輸送帶18a所搬運來之玻璃基板17送入 至蓋9內之較小開口(較玻璃基板17的寬度稍微大之寬度 ,且玻璃基板17的厚度稍微大之厚度的開口)的基板送入 口 10,從該基板送入口 10所送入之玻璃基板17,被載置於 工件機台6上。此外,於此蓋9的基板送出側b,設置有用 以從蓋9內將經塗抹處理後的(塗抹處理完畢的)玻璃基 板1 7排出至外部之具有與基板送入口 1 0同樣大小之較小開 口的基板送出口 11,從該基板送出口 11所送出之塗抹處理 完畢的玻璃基板17,被裝載於送出側搬運輸送帶18b。 在此,工件機台6上表面的基板載置面與搬運輸送帶 -17- 201111061 18a、18b的基板載置面,爲同樣高度面(同一平面的面) ,此外,工件機台6的基板載置面,如後述般,係由基板 吸附平板15及滾子16所構成者》該搬運輸送帶18a、18b, 除了具有導引滾子之滾子式搬運輸送帶之外,亦可使用球 狀的輸送帶,或是行走樑式者等。 藉由該構成,當藉由送入側搬運輸送帶18a所搬運之 玻璃基板17被送入於蓋9內時,係藉由送入側搬運輸送帶 18a,使玻璃基板17保持在此時的高度下從送入口 1〇壓入 於蓋9內,當此玻璃基板17到達工件機台6上時,藉由保持 在至目前爲止的高度之滾子16而在工件機台6上移動,並 在預定位置上被載置且吸附於基板吸附平板15而固定位置 〇 如此,裝載玻璃基板17之工件機台6係藉由T軸方向移 動機構在T軸方向上移動,並使該位置被設定在架台1上之 靠近基板送入側a的A位置,在此位置上,藉由移重機2a的 塗抹頭8來進行密封材的塗抹,而在玻璃基板17上描繪出 複數個(此時爲6個)被封閉之密封材的圖型。該密封材 的圖型,在移重機2a上,係一邊從裝載於塗抹頭8的Z軸移 動機台13之噴嘴14吐出密封材,一邊藉由Y軸方向移動機 構使塗抹頭8沿著移重機2a的橫樑3 (第1圖)在Y軸方向上 移動,並且藉由X軸方向移動機構4a、4b (第1圖),使移 重機2a在X軸方向上移動而藉此使塗抹頭8在X軸方向上移 動,使噴嘴14沿著矩形狀圖型的軌跡移動而進行描繪。此 時,藉由Z軸方向移動機構(圖中未顯示)來調整Z軸移動 -18 - 201111061 機台13之Z方向的高度,而將噴嘴14的密封材吐出口距離 玻璃基板17表面的高度經常保持在所規定的高度。 接著,工件機台6藉由T軸方向移動機構在T軸方向上 移動,並使該位置被設定在架台1上之中央部的B位置,在 此位置上,藉由移重機2b的塗抹頭8,對玻璃基板17上的 密封材之每個矩形狀的描繪圖型,在該描繪圖型外周的預 定位置(例如4個角落的位置)上進行電極劑之點焊材的 塗抹。此時,與上述相同,亦藉由移重機2b上所設置之塗 抹頭8之X、Y軸方向的移動,使該噴嘴14被設定在應予塗 抹各密封材的描繪圖型的點焊材之位置上,並在該位置上 ,從噴嘴14的吐出口吐出電極材。此時,與上述相同,將 噴嘴14的吐出口距離玻璃基板17表面的高度經常保持在所 規定的高度。 然後,工件機台6藉由T軸方向移動機構在T軸方向上 移動,並使該位置被設定在架台1上之靠近基板送出側b的 C位置,在此位置上,藉由移重機2 c的塗抹頭8,對玻璃基 板17上的密封材之每個描繪圖型,在藉由描繪圖型所包圍 之區域內進行液晶的滴入塗抹。此時,與上述相同,亦藉 由移重機2c上所設置之塗抹頭8之X、Y軸方向的移動,使 該噴嘴14被設定在應予將液晶滴入於以各密封材的描繪圖 型所包圍之區域內之位置上,並在該位置上,從噴嘴14的 吐出口滴入液晶。此時,與上述相同,亦將噴嘴1 4的吐出 口距離玻璃基板1 7表面的高度經常保持在所規定的高度。 藉由上述動作而結束朝向玻璃基板17之塗抹處理,並 *19- 201111061 從基板送出口 1〗將工件機台6上之該塗抹處理完畢的玻璃 基板17排出至蓋9外,此時,藉由工件機台6的滾子16從基 板送出口 Η被送出至蓋9外之玻璃基板17,係在維持此時 的高度下被壓出,當該玻璃基板1 7到達送出側搬運輸送帶 18b上時,在此時的高度下,在送出側搬運輸送帶18b上移 動,並將位置固定在預定位置上。 如此,玻璃基板1 7,不論是從送入側搬運輸送帶1 8a 移往蓋9內的工件機台6上時,或是從蓋9內的工件機台6上 移往送出側搬運輸送帶18b時,均不需使用機器人或人手 ,可僅藉由在將高度保持爲一定下之T軸方向上的移動來 進行,所以蓋9內的空氣不會上下流動,塵埃不會被捲起 。此外,同樣的,分配有不同功能之移重機2a、2b、2c間 之玻璃基板17的移動,亦可僅藉由在裝載於工件機台6下 之T軸方向上的移動來進行,所以蓋9內的空氣不會上下流 動,塵埃不會被捲起。因此,不會產生被捲起的塵埃附著 於玻璃基板17之密封材等的塗抹面之情形,而能夠避免因 塵埃的附著所造成之面板良率的降低。 此外,係將密封材的塗抹、電極材之點焊材的塗抹、 液晶的滴入塗抹之不同的塗抹處理功能之裝置(移重機 2 a〜2 c )設置在相同架台1上,並在裝載於工件機台6之狀 態下使玻璃基板1 7在此等裝置間移動’藉此在各裝置中進 行個別的塗抹處理’所以與使用機器人等之裝置間的玻璃 基板的搬運相比,可縮短從某一裝置移往下—裝置並開始 進行處理爲止之時間,而縮短製造所需時間’同時亦可縮 -20- 201111061 小此等裝置間的間隔,使進行該不同的功能處理之裝置全 體可達到小型化。 第3圖係顯示第1圖及第2圖之工件機台6的一具體例之 外觀立體圖,15a〜15e爲基板吸附平板,16a〜16d爲滾子, 19爲基板載置構件,20a〜20d爲連結構件,21爲空氣吸附 孔,22a、22b爲基板定位銷,23爲十字滾子軸承, 24 a〜2 4d爲ΧΥ0軸方向微動機構,25爲十字滾子軸承,26 爲正交軸承。 同圖中,工件機台6中,在X軸方向上互相平行且以等 間隔所配置之複數個(在此爲5個)以Y軸方向爲長度方向 之基板吸附平板15a〜15e,係分別具有以細長平板狀的連 結構件20a~20d所連結之構成的基板載置構件19。此等基 板吸附平板15a〜15e相當於第2圖中的基板吸附平板15,橫 向剖面形狀呈矩形狀或正方形狀,且連結構件20a〜20d較 基板吸附平板15a〜15e的高度更薄,藉此,連結構件20a〜 2〇d的部分係形成基板載置構件19的凹陷山谷部。於此等 山谷部(亦即連結構件20a〜2 0d的上表面側),分別配置 有涵蓋此山谷部的Y軸方向全長之滾子16 a〜16d。此等滾子 16 a〜16d相當於第2圖中的滾子16,係構成用以使載置於基 板載置構件19上之玻璃基板17(第2圖)在T(X)軸方向 上移動之基板移動機構,並藉由圖中未顯示之旋轉驅動機 構予以旋轉驅動。 於各個基板吸附平板15a〜15e的上表面,各自設置有 複數個(圖示中各自爲4個)用以吸附玻璃基板17(第2圖 -21 - 201111061 )來固定位置之空氣吸附孔21,並且在該基板載置構件19 之X軸方向的端側,亦即接近於位在與基板送入側a (第1 圖、第2圖)爲相反側的最前端之基板吸附平板1 5 e的外側 面,設置有複數個(在此爲2個)基板定位銷22a、22b。 此外,該基板載置構件1 9的中心部,係於該內面側上 藉由作爲旋轉構件的十字滾子軸承23所支撐,在基板載置 構件19的內面上之從十字滾子軸承23爲不同之方向上且互 爲相等距離之位置,係藉由ΧΥ0軸方向微動機構2 4a~2 4d 所支撐。十字滾子軸承23,係以該支撐位置爲中心使基板 載置構件19在0軸方向上轉動者,ΧΥ0軸方向微動機構 24a〜24d,係由十字滾子軸承25與正交軸承26所構成,並 藉由十字滾子軸承23以該中心部爲中心使基板載置構件19 在0軸方向上轉動,同時藉由ΧΥ0軸方向微動機構 2 4 a〜2 4d使該支撐位置在0軸方向上轉動,並在XY軸方向 上移動者。藉此,基板載置構件1 9能夠以該中心位置爲中 心轉動,並調整工件機台6上所裝載之玻璃基板17 (第1圖 )之0軸方向上的偏離。 該基板載置構件19係載置於圖中未顯示之基台上,於 該基台的內面側設置有第1圖中以說明之T軸方向移動機構 ,藉此,可使工件機台6在T軸方向上移動。 此外,滾子16a〜16d,其位置相對於基台被固定,但 由基板吸附平板15a~15e與連結構件20a〜20d所構成之基板 載置構件19、與基板定位銷22a、2 2b,係一同和十字滾子 軸承23與ΧΥ0軸方向微動機構24a~2 4d相對於基台可上下 -22- 201111061 移動。 因此,如第2圖中所說明般,當工件機台6位於蓋9的 基板送入口 1 0側並從送入側搬運輸送帶1 8 a導入玻璃基板 17時,基板載置構件19處於下降之狀態,基板定位銷22a 、22b處於上升之狀態,滾子16a〜16d與基板定位銷22a、 2 2b,該一部分處於較基板載置構件19之基板吸附平板 1 5 a〜15 e的上表面更往上方突出之狀態。 此時,滾子1 6 a〜1 6 d處於被旋轉驅動之狀態,如第2圖 中所說明般,玻璃基板1 7從送入側搬運輸送帶1 8a被壓入 於工件機台6上,當玻璃基板1 7被載入於旋轉的滾子 16a〜16d時,由於滾子16a〜16d的旋轉,使該玻璃基板17朝 向基板定位銷22a、22b的方向移動。當玻璃基板17抵接於 基板定位銷22a、22b時,滾子16a〜16d的旋轉停止,基板 載置構件19上升而成爲在該上表面載置有玻璃基板17之狀 態’接著,空氣吸附孔2 1係作爲基板位置固定機構來進行 吸附動作,藉此使玻璃基板17被吸附於基板載置構件19的 上表面,而成爲固定在工件機台6上之狀態。 此外,如第2圖中所說明般,當工件機台6朝向架台1 的基板送出側b移動,並將塗抹處理完畢的玻璃基板1 7經 由基板送出口 11移往送出側搬運輸送帶18b時,係使基板 定位銷22a、22b與基板載置構件19下降,在玻璃基板17被 裝載於滾子1 6 a〜1 6 d之狀態下,使此等滾子1 6 a〜1 6 d旋轉。 藉此’玻璃基板1 7係從工件機台6上通過基板送出口 1 1朝 向送出側搬運輸送帶18b移動。 -23- 201111061 如此,不需使用機器人或人手而能夠將玻璃基板17從 送入側搬運輸送帶18a移送至工件機台6上,此外,亦不需 使用機器人或人手而能夠將塗抹處理完畢的玻璃基板17從 工件機台6移送至送出側搬運輸送帶18b上。 第4圖係顯示第1圖及第2圖之工件機台6的其他具體例 之外觀立體圖,27爲基板吸附平板,27a爲基板載置面, 27b爲前側面,28爲空氣噴出/吸附孔,對應於第3圖之部 分,係附加同一圖號並省略重複的說明。 同圖中,此具體例中,1個平板狀的基板吸附平板27 ,與第3圖所示之具體例相同,係形成爲藉由十字滾子軸 承23及ΧΥ0軸方向微動機構24 a〜24d支撐於圖中未顯示的 基台上之構成。惟該基板吸附平板27,其位置及高度相對 於該基台被固定。此基板吸附平板27的上表面呈平坦面, 並成爲圖中未顯示之玻璃基板的載置面2 7a,此基板載置 面27a係具有可將玻璃基板全體載置於此之面積。 此基板吸附平板27之接近於與基板送入側a (第2圖) 爲相反側的前側面27b側,與先前第3圖所示之具體例相同 ,設置有複數個(在此爲2個)基板定位銷22a、22b。此 等基板定位銷22a、22b,與先前第3圖所示之具體例相同 ,相對於基台可上下移動,且如第2圖中所說明般,當工 件機台6位於蓋9的基板送入口 1 0側並從送入側搬運輸送帶 18a導入玻璃基板17時,基板定位銷22a、22b處於上升之 狀態,並處於較基板吸附平板27的基板載置面27a更往上 方突出之狀態。藉此,從基板送入口 1 〇 (第2圖)所送入 -24- 201111061 之玻璃基板17,藉由抵接於基板定位銷22 a、22b ’可相對 於基板吸附平板27被定位。此外,如第2圖中所說明般, 當工件機台6位於蓋9的基板送出口 11側並從工件機台6將 玻璃基板17送出至送出側搬運輸送帶18b時’基板定位銷 22a、22b處於下降之狀態,並位於較基板吸附平板27的基 板載置面27a更下方。 於基板吸附平板27的基板載置面27a ’係沿著X ( T ) 軸方向與Y軸方向以預定間隔設置有空氣噴出/吸附孔2 8 ( 第4圖中,係顯示X軸方向上分別設置9個,Y軸方向上分 別設置7個之情況,但不限定於此)。此等空氣噴出/吸附 孔2 8,當在玻璃基板被定位之狀態下裝載於基板載置面 2 7 a時,係具有空氣吸附孔之功能,並將玻璃基板以空氣 吸附於基板載置面2 7a而固定。此外,從送入側搬運輸送 帶18a送入玻璃基板17時以及將玻璃基板17送出至送出側 搬運輸送帶18b時,爲了使該玻璃基板17於基板載置面27a 上在X軸(T軸)方向上移動,空氣噴出/吸附孔28係具有 空氣噴出孔之功能。 第5圖係顯示第4圖的空氣噴出/吸附孔28中之構成的 一具體例之圖,29爲空氣吸附孔,30爲空氣噴出孔,對應 於前述圖面之部分’係附加同一圖號並省略重複的說明。 第5圖(a )中’於空氣噴出/吸附孔28,係連通有空 氣吸附孔29及空氣噴出孔30。空氣吸附孔29中,係藉由真 空栗浦等之真空驅動源(圖中未顯不),如箭頭所示,來 吸引基板吸附平板27之基板載置面27a側的空氣,空氣噴 -25- 201111061 出孔30中,藉由空氣泵浦等之空氣驅動源(圖中未顯示) ,從基板吸附平板27的空氣噴出/吸附孔28將空氣往外部 噴出。在此,空氣吸附孔29係設置在垂直於基板載置面 2 7 a之方向,空氣噴出孔30係相對於基板載置面27a在T ( X )軸方向上傾斜地設置,藉此,從空氣噴出孔30所噴出之 空氣,係從空氣噴出/吸附孔28相對於基板載置面27a在T (X)軸方向上傾斜地噴出。 第5圖(b )係顯示出如第2圖中所說明般之從送入側 搬運輸送帶18a導入玻璃基板17移往工件機台6上時、以及 將塗抹處理完畢的玻璃基板1 7從工件機台6移往送出側搬 運輸送帶18b時之空氣噴出/吸附孔28之狀態。 此時,係從空氣噴出孔30中噴出塵埃量被降低之清靜 的空氣,如虛線箭頭所示,空氣從空氣噴出/吸附孔28相 對於基板載置面27a在T(X)軸方向上傾斜地噴出,並吹 抵玻璃基板17的內面。藉此,玻璃基板17從基板載置面 27a僅被舉起些許程度(例如約2μπι ),且被壓往Τ軸方向 。因此,玻璃基板17沿著基板載置面27a在Τ(Χ)軸方向 上被搬運。 第5圖(c )係顯示出如第2圖中所說明般之將在工件 機台6上被定位的玻璃基板17固定在該工件機台6的基板載 置面27a之狀態。 此時,係從空氣吸附孔29吸引空氣,如第5圖(b )中 所說明般,玻璃基板17在T(X)軸方向上被搬運,當藉由 基板定位銷22a、22b (第4圖)相對於基板載置面27a被定 -26- 201111061 位時,來自空氣噴出孔30之空氣的噴出停止,取而代之的 是從空氣吸附孔29進行空氣的吸引。藉此,玻璃基板17被 載置於基板載置面27a,並藉由更進一步的空氣吸引,使 玻璃基板17被固定在基板載置面27 a而固定位置。 如此,藉由空氣的作用,將玻璃基板17相對於基板載 置面27a在T(X)軸方向上,此外,並將玻璃基板17固定 在基板載置面27a,於基板吸附平板27上,係設置有依據 空氣噴出/吸附孔28所構成之基板移動機構及基板位置固 定機構。此外,當將處於第5圖(c )所示之狀態之塗抹處 理完畢的玻璃基板17搬運至送出側搬運輸送帶18b (第2圖 )時,只須從第5圖(c )所示之狀態切換爲第5圖(b )所 示之狀態即可。空氣吸附孔2 9中之空氣吸附/停止與空氣 噴出孔30中之空氣噴出/停止,可藉由依據電磁閥所進行 之切換動作來進行。 亦可將空氣吸附孔29及空氣噴出孔30分別設置在基板 載置面27a’此外,第5圖中,亦可將空氣噴出孔30般之傾 斜的空氣孔連通於空氣噴出/吸附孔28,並將該空氣孔兼 用於空氣吸附與空氣噴出。 此具體例中,不需具有第3圖所示之具體例般之滾子 16’亦不需具有使基板載置構件19上下移動之驅動手段, 可使構成更加簡化。 第6圖係擴大顯示第1圖之塗抹頭8的一具體例的要部 之立體圖’ 31爲塗抹材收納筒’ 32爲噴嘴支撐具,33爲距 離計,對應於前述圖面之部分,係附加同一圖號並省略重 -27- 201111061 複的說明。 同圖中,塗抹材收納筒31與設置有噴嘴14之噴嘴支撐 具32及距離計33,係設置在Z軸移動機台13 (第2圖)。 移重機2a的塗抹頭8中,係於塗抹材收納筒31收納有 密封材作爲塗抹材,移重機2b的塗抹頭8中,於塗抹材收 納筒31收納有導電性的液體作爲塗抹材,移重機2c的塗抹 頭8中,於塗抹材收納筒3 1收納有液晶作爲塗抹材。 距離計3 3,係藉由非接觸式的三角測距法,來測量從 噴嘴14的前端部至工件機台6(第1圖)上所裝載之玻璃基 板17的表面(上表面)爲止之距離。亦即,係在距離計33 的框體內設置發光元件,從該發光元件所射出之雷射光, 在玻璃基板17上的測量點S產生反射,並由同樣設置在框 體內之感光元件所感光,並因應該感光位置來進行測量。 此外,玻璃基板1 7上之雷射光的測量點S與噴嘴1 4的正下 方位置,雖然在玻璃基板1 7上偏離些許距離△ X及△ Y, 但該些許距離的偏離爲可忽視玻璃基板1 7表面上的凹.凸差 之範圍內,故距離計33的測量結果與從噴嘴14的前端部至 玻璃基板17的表面(上表面)爲止之距離之間幾乎不存在 差距。因此,藉由根據該距離計33的測量結果來控制Z軸 移動機台13 (第2圖),可配合玻璃基板17表面上的凹凸 (起伏),將從噴嘴Μ的前端部至玻璃基板17的表面(上 表面)爲止之距離(間隔)維持爲一定。 如此,藉由將從噴嘴14的前端部至玻璃基板17的表面 (上表面)爲止之距離(間隔)維持爲一定,並且將從噴 -28- 201111061 嘴1 4所吐出之每單位時間的塗抹材的量維持爲定量,可使 塗抹描繪在玻璃基板1 7上之圖型的寬度與厚度成爲一致。 此外,雖然圖中未顯示,但具備可進行照明的光源之 淨筒與圖像辨識攝像機,除了使用在各噴嘴14的平行調整 與間隔調整用之外,亦用在玻璃基板17的對位與塗抹材之 描繪圖型的形狀辨識等,故以與玻璃基板17相對向之方式 所設置。 返回第2圖,此實施形態中,係具備控制上述各部之 控制部。亦即,於架台1的內部,設置有用以控制進行各 機構的驅動之線性馬達以及使機台移動之馬達之主控制部 。於此主控制部,係中介纜線而連接有副控制部。副控制

manufacture of a flat display panel such as a liquid crystal panel, and more particularly to a coating device for applying a sealing material or the like on a substrate or a dripping of a liquid crystal. method. [Prior Art] A conventional technique for producing a liquid crystal panel or the like has an apparatus proposed as follows, that is, a plurality of vacuum processing chambers for performing processing in a vacuum state and a plurality of processing chambers under atmospheric pressure An atmospheric pressure processing chamber, and between the vacuum processing chamber and the atmospheric pressure processing chamber, and between the vacuum processing chamber and the atmospheric pressure processing chamber, respectively, a robot chamber for transporting the glass substrate and externally blocking is disposed, and is disposed between the processing chambers. In the case of a glass substrate, the robot in the robot room can automatically transport the glass substrate from one processing chamber to the other processing chamber to manufacture a liquid crystal panel (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to the conventional technique, since the processing from the glass substrate to the liquid crystal panel is automatically processed without any human hand, there is almost no problem of particle contamination or molecular contamination. In addition, other examples have the following proposed techniques, that is, After the substrate is placed in the alignment device provided in the vacuum processing chamber, the sealing material is applied to the substrate, and then the substrate coated with the sealing material is pasted with the two substrates of the other substrate to cure the sealing material, and finally injected. When the panel is manufactured under the step of liquid crystal, the coating operation of forming the sealing material-5-201111061 on the substrate is performed under a pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure, and the bonding of the two substrates is performed under a pressure of atmospheric pressure or less. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2). According to the prior art, since the sealing material is applied and the two substrates are bonded under a relatively low pressure, the air bubbles mixed in the sealing material can be reduced, and the cracking failure or the gap failure due to the air bubbles can be reduced. Or the lack of liquid crystal injection defects can also reduce impurities such as dust that is rolled up around the substrate, and reduce panel defects caused by impurities. [PRIOR ART DOCUMENT] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei. No. Hei. No. Hei. No. Hei. In the field of flat display panels such as (liquid crystal panel), the size of the glass substrate has been increasing rapidly year by year, and the manufacturing apparatus has also been expanding in size. Further, in order to be able to manufacture at a low cost, it is strongly required to reduce the dust which is rolled up inside or around the manufacturing apparatus to improve the yield, and at the same time, to suppress the manufacturing time per one panel. In the prior art described in the prior art, when the liquid crystal panel is manufactured from a glass substrate, when the glass substrate is transported from the atmospheric pressure processing chamber to the vacuum processing chamber, the vacuum activation time from the atmospheric pressure state to the vacuum state is -6 - 201111061, and the wear time is There is a problem with an increase in overall manufacturing time. Further, in the prior art described in the above Patent Document 2, when the application work or the bonding work of the substrate is performed in the vacuum processing chamber, the insertion and removal into the vacuum processing chamber are performed by a hand or a robot, and the like. The vertical movement of the substrate of the human hand or the robot causes the surrounding air to flow largely, and the dust is rolled up along with the air. Further, even when a panel is manufactured by arranging a plurality of devices having different functions without using the same vacuum processing chamber, when the glass substrate as the target workpiece is received, when the robot or the like is used, the robot is held by the robot. The movement of the substrate causes the surrounding air to flow largely, and the flow of the surrounding air causes the dust to be rolled up along with this. When such dust is rolled up, the probability of dust adhering to the panel becomes a defective product. In the prior art described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, as a first example, when a coating operation is performed in a vacuum environment, the sealing material is applied in a vacuum, and then the atmosphere is opened, the spacer is dispersed, and the ultraviolet rays are irradiated. Two sheets of the substrate were bonded while being temporarily fixed by spot welding of the ultraviolet curable resin. Then, the temporarily fixed substrate was taken out from the positioning device, and a separately prepared nylon bag was placed and the inside of the bag was depressurized, i.e., a vacuum was again formed, thereby pressing the two substrates. Heating is then carried out to harden the previously applied sealing material to adhere the two substrates. Finally, it is taken out from the bag, that is, it is again opened to the atmospheric pressure state, and the liquid crystal material is sealed at atmospheric pressure to produce a liquid crystal panel. Therefore, before the completion of the application of the sealing material to the completion of the liquid crystal panel, the manufacturing process of forming the vacuum state twice and opening to the atmospheric pressure twice is employed. In addition, as a second example, when the bonding work is performed in a vacuum environment, 201111061, the sealing material is applied after the atmospheric pressure is applied, and the spacer is dispersed, and the ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the spot-welded ultraviolet curing resin to be temporarily fixed, and in a vacuum. Two substrates are bonded together. Then, it was opened to the atmospheric pressure state, and the substrate was taken out from the positioning device, and the two substrates were pressed by vacuum packaging, that is, the vacuum state was again formed. Heating is then carried out in this vacuum packed state to harden the previously applied sealing material to adhere the two substrates. Finally, it is taken out from the bag, that is, it is again opened to the atmospheric pressure state, and the liquid crystal material is sealed at atmospheric pressure to produce a liquid crystal panel. In this example, as in the above, the manufacturing step of forming the vacuum state and the second opening to the atmospheric pressure state twice is used from the application of the sealing material to the completion of the liquid crystal panel. As a result, in the case of suppressing the incorporation of air bubbles into the sealing material, the coating operation from the application of the sealing material to the bonding step or the pasting is performed in a vacuum in the first or second example. In any case of the cooperation, in the case where the thermosetting resin is pressed while being pressed before the liquid crystal injection, it is necessary to take time to form a vacuum again and create a vacuum environment. Here, when the sealing material of the thermosetting resin is cured and the two substrates are pressed, there is a manufacturing method in which the vacuum state is not required to be pressurized. However, in general, the liquid crystal injection method is mainly used in the liquid crystal injection stage in the next stage. In order to make the inside of the liquid crystal panel vacuum, the liquid crystal panel is first formed into a vacuum state in the processing chamber, and then the liquid crystal injection port is immersed in the liquid crystal and then opened. A manufacturing method in which the liquid crystal is extruded into the inside of the liquid crystal panel at atmospheric pressure to break into the atmosphere.

When examining the trend toward large-scale development so far, it is known that the means for positioning in the device is gradually increasing, and the weight is only increased. . Along with this, not only the increase in the size of the motor as the drive source, but also the increase in the size of the bearings or the power transmission mechanism such as the ball screw and the guide bearing, and the increase in the size of the motor drive or the increase in the wiring scale are also caused. The problem of large-scale development of the substrate drive unit of the control series is included.

There are other problems with the tendency to increase the size and weight. When the manufacturing process is examined, the conventional method is to arrange the device for applying the sealing material to the glass substrate, the device for applying the electrode pad with the spot welding material, and the device for dropping the liquid crystal into the device to be applied. This is connected to a bonding apparatus of a glass substrate. Between these three types of devices, the transfer robot is used to feed and send large glass substrates. In the feeding and feeding operation, not only when moving horizontally, but also when the glass substrate is mounted on the machine table of each device during the movement between the devices, the vertical movement is repeated while the glass substrate is held. Thereby, the surrounding air flows up and down, and the dust is rolled up along with this. Therefore, in the present invention, a smear device or a smear system including one or a plurality of weight-shifting machines (door-type frame portions), one or a plurality of weight-shifting machines, is configured to be changed by a robot.

In addition, in the present invention, the substrate is fed toward the workpiece or the substrate is from the substrate. The delivery of the workpiece table is performed by the feeding side conveyance belt or the delivery side conveyance belt, and the conveyance belt is maintained in the conveyance belt. The height of the glass substrate when the glass substrate carrying height of the workpiece placed on the machine to be equal. As can be seen from the above, the glass substrate is placed on the same workpiece table during the application operation of the weight machine, and the workpiece is not moved relative to the workpiece table, and the dust does not move during the application to the glass substrate. Was rolled up. In addition, when the glass substrate is fed and ejected toward the workpiece machine, the conveyor belt is transported to the workpiece machine table and the workpiece conveyor is transported to the conveyor belt without changing the height (ie, being lifted or lowered). It is carried, whereby the dust will not be rolled up. Therefore, the yield of the manufactured panel can be improved. In addition, the entire space including all the weights, the workpiece table, and the drive mechanism is covered by the cover, and the pressure in the space is reduced to a lower pressure to reduce the amount of air in the space. Thereby, it is configured to further reduce the winding force of the dust and reduce the amount of dust to be rolled up.

Here, the substrate mounting surface on the upper surface of the workpiece table 6 and the substrate mounting surface of the conveyance conveyor belts -17-201111061 18a and 18b are the same height surface (surface of the same plane), and the substrate of the workpiece machine table 6 The mounting surface is composed of the substrate adsorption flat plate 15 and the roller 16 as will be described later. The conveyance belts 18a and 18b may be used in addition to the roller type conveyance belt having the guide rollers. Conveyor belt, or walking beam type. According to this configuration, when the glass substrate 17 conveyed by the feeding-side conveyance belt 18a is fed into the lid 9, the conveyance belt 18a is conveyed by the feeding side, and the glass substrate 17 is held at this time. Pressed into the cover 9 from the feed port 1 at a height, and when the glass substrate 17 reaches the workpiece table 6, it moves on the workpiece table 6 by holding the roller 16 of the height up to the present, and The workpiece table 6 on which the glass substrate 17 is loaded is moved in the T-axis direction by the T-axis direction moving mechanism, and the position is set by being placed at a predetermined position and adsorbed on the substrate suction flat plate 15 at a fixed position. In the position A on the gantry 1 near the substrate feeding side a, at this position, the sealing material is applied by the applicator head 8 of the weight lifting machine 2a, and a plurality of pieces are drawn on the glass substrate 17 (this time 6) The pattern of the sealed seal material. In the pattern of the sealing material, the sealing material is discharged from the nozzle 14 of the Z-axis moving machine table 13 mounted on the applicator head 8 while the applicator head 8 is moved along the Y-axis direction moving mechanism. The beam 3 (Fig. 1) of the heavy machine 2a is moved in the Y-axis direction, and the weight moving machine 2a is moved in the X-axis direction by the X-axis direction moving mechanisms 4a, 4b (Fig. 1), thereby applying the applicator head 8 moves in the X-axis direction, and the nozzle 14 is moved along the trajectory of the rectangular pattern to draw.

For each rectangular drawing pattern of the sealing material on the glass substrate 17, the spot welding material of the electrode agent is applied to a predetermined position (for example, a position of four corners) on the outer periphery of the drawing pattern. At this time, similarly to the above, the nozzle 14 is set to the spot welding material of the drawing pattern to which each sealing material should be applied by the movement of the applicator head 8 provided on the weight-shifting machine 2b in the X and Y-axis directions. At this position, the electrode material is discharged from the discharge port of the nozzle 14.

In addition, the devices (the weight shifters 2 a to 2 c ) which apply the different application processes of the application of the sealing material, the application of the spot material of the electrode material, and the dripping of the liquid crystal are placed on the same stand 1 and are loaded. When the glass substrate 17 is moved between the devices in the state of the workpiece stage 6, the individual smearing process is performed in each device, so that it can be shortened compared with the transportation of the glass substrate between devices using a robot or the like. From the time when a device moves to the next device and starts processing, the time required for manufacturing is shortened, and the interval between the devices can be reduced by -20-201111061, so that the devices performing the different functional processing are all Can be miniaturized. 3 is an external perspective view showing a specific example of the workpiece machine table 6 of FIGS. 1 and 2, 15a to 15e are substrate adsorption plates, 16a to 16d are rollers, and 19 are substrate mounting members, 20a to 20d.

Fig. 9 is a flow chart showing a specific example of the overall operation of the first embodiment. Hereinafter, this operation will be described with reference to Fig. 2 and the like. In the same figure, when the operation is started (step S100), the T-axis driver 34ai is first operated to move the workpiece table 6 closer to the substrate feeding side a of the gantry 1, that is, to the A position of the second drawing, and at the same time The weight machines 2a and 2b are evacuated to the substrate delivery side b, that is, to the C position of FIG. 2 (step S101). Next, the glass substrate 17 is pulled toward the workpiece table 6 from the feeding side conveyance belt 18 a, and the weight machine 2a is moved to a position where the glass substrate 17 is positioned, i.e., near the A position of Fig. 2 . The glass substrate 17 is temporarily positioned at a predetermined position determined by the substrate positioning pins 22a and 22b (Fig. 3, Fig. 4) of the workpiece table 6, and is provided by the air suction hole 21 (Fig. 3).

(Fig. 7), the positional deviation in the 0-axis direction is corrected by the cross roller bearing 23 provided on the lower surface of the workpiece stage 6 and the 微0-axis direction micro-motion mechanisms 24a to 24d (step S1 03). 34- 201111061 When the positional deviation is correctly corrected, the Y-axis drive 34ag (Fig. 7) and the Z-axis drive 39 (Fig. 8) are actuated, whereby the Y-axis moving mechanism and the Z-axis moving machine on the weight-shifting machine 2a are caused. The table 13 operates to set the height of the nozzle 14 (Fig. 6) of the applicator head 8 to the drawing height of the pattern, and applies the sealing material to the glass substrate 17 by the applicator head 8 (step S104). After the processing, the X-axis driver 34af is caused to move the workpiece table 6 to the middle position of the gantry 1. In other words, the position B of Fig. 2 is simultaneously retracted to the feeding side a' of the gantry 1 near the feeding side a' of the gantry 1 (step S105). 2b is moved to the intermediate position of the gantry 1, that is, near the B position of Fig. 2, and the spot welding material application of the electrode material is performed (step S106). After the application of the spot welding material is finished, the workpiece machine table 6 is moved to the gantry 1 The delivery side b', that is, the C position in FIG. 2, and the weighting machine 2b after the spot welding material application process of the end electrode material is retracted to the feeding side a near the gantry, that is, near the A position of FIG. (Step si〇7) Next, the weight moving machine 2c is moved to the delivery side b close to the gantry 1, that is, near the C position of the second figure, the liquid crystal is dropped into the interior surrounded by the sealing material (step S1 0 8). Here, the series of application operations are completed, and the glass substrate i 7 is moved from the workpiece stage 6 to the delivery side conveyance belt 18b (step sl9). Then, it is determined whether or not to stop all the above steps (step S110), when When all the glass substrates 1 7 end the series of processes, all of them are finished. In the first embodiment, the six applicator heads 8 are provided in the -35-201111061 weight-lifting machine, and the applicator head is constructed by a linear motor. The Y-axis moving mechanism for 8 can be configured to move in the longitudinal direction (the y-axis direction) on the beam 3 of the weight moving machine.

Further, in this embodiment, the applicator heads 8 provided in the same weight-lifting machine are all configured to apply the same applicator to the glass substrate 17, but may be provided in the same weight-weighting machine to apply different types of applicators. The smear head makes the weight machine have different functions. For example, in the weight-shifting machine 2a, three of the six applicator heads 8 may be used as an applicator head for discharging the sealing material, and the remaining three applicator heads 8 may be used as an applicator head for discharging the electrode material. The weight-shifting machine 2a has two different functions of the application function of the sealing material and the application function of the electrode material. Further, in this case, it is also possible to provide only one weight moving machine on the base 1, and in the weight moving machine, the same applies to the application function of the sealing material, the application function of the electrode material, and the dripping application function of the liquid crystal. . Further, the six applicator heads 8 provided in the weight-shifting machine 2a can be stopped, and the weight-removing machine 2a can be retracted to one of the stroke end sides, and the applicator heads 8 of the two weight-shifting machines 2b and 2c can be utilized and set to Teaching materials can be used in a random manner. -36- 201111061 According to the first embodiment, the application of a plurality of materials is performed on the common workpiece table 6, for example, the sealing material is applied and the conductive spot material is applied, and the liquid crystal is dripped and applied.

The side a is provided with a substrate feeding gate 41a that feeds the glass substrate 17 into the pressure-resistant cover 40 from the feeding-side conveyance belt 18a and is placed on the workpiece table 6, and feeds the substrate of the pressure-resistant cover 40. The side b is provided with a substrate delivery gate 4 1 b that has been smeared from the workpiece table 6 in the pressure-resistant cover 40 and that has been sent out to the outside and placed on the delivery-side conveyance belt 18b. These gates 4 are provided. 1 a and 4 1 b are openable and closable, and are opened only when the glass substrate 17 is fed or sent out. Further, the inside of the pressure-resistant cover 40 is connected to the suction blower 42 as an air suction means by the pipe 43, and the inside of the pressure-resistant cover 40 is set to an environment having a relatively high pressure of a lower air pressure. In this way, by setting the internal environment to a pressure with a lower pressure of the lower air pressure, the density of the air can be reduced, and the dust accompanying the movement of the structure of the workpiece machine 6 and the weight moving machines 2a to 2C can be reduced. ability. Compared with the atmospheric pressure environment -37-201111061, only a small amount of dust is rolled up, and the amount of dust that is rolled up is reduced to form a clean environment, thereby further improving the quality of the manufactured panel. rate. Further, although it differs from the smear processing time, when the pressure inside the pressure-resistant cover 40 is further lowered to constitute a high vacuum, vacuum suction may be used instead of the suction blower 42 to perform suction. The configuration other than the above configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the operation is also shown in Fig. 9. As described above, in each of the above embodiments, a plurality of devices (weight shifters) having a plurality of functions are arranged, and the devices are configured to be movable while moving the workpiece table on which the glass substrate is placed to Since the device is placed at the position where the smear process is performed, it is not necessary to perform the following transfer of the substrate to be transported by the robot, that is, the glass substrate to be the target workpiece is used by using one common robot or a plurality of robots provided between the devices. In addition, by shortening the moving line (moving line) of the substrate, it is possible to achieve: first, reduce particle contamination during substrate transportation, improve yield during liquid crystal panel manufacturing, and second, reduce installation area, and effectively Use the clean room. In the above embodiment, the smear process for producing a liquid crystal panel is described as an example, but the invention is not limited thereto.
