Description

顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置及顯示裝置用構件的製 造方法 Manufacturing device for display device and system for display device Method

本發明涉及一種顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置及顯示裝置用構件的製造方法。 The present invention relates to a manufacturing apparatus for a member for a display device and a method of manufacturing a member for a display device.

一般而言,以液晶顯示器(display)或有機電致發光(Electroluminescence,EL)顯示器為代表的平板狀的顯示裝置(平板顯示器(flat panel display))是將顯示面板,並視需要將操作用的觸摸面板(touch panel)或保護表面的保護面板(罩面板(cover panel))、背光燈(backlight)及其導光板等組裝到平板顯示器的框體中而構成。 In general, a flat display device (flat panel display) typified by a liquid crystal display or an electroluminescence (EL) display is a display panel and is used as needed. A touch panel or a protective panel (cover panel) for protecting the surface, a backlight, a light guide plate, and the like are assembled in a housing of the flat panel display.

這些顯示面板、觸摸面板、罩面板、背光燈及其導光板等工件(以下簡稱作工件(work))是被層疊地組裝在平板顯示器的框體中。各個工件是各別地或者在預先層疊的狀態下組裝。例如,有時也使用作為在保護罩上層疊有觸摸面板的複合面板而構 成的部件。 Workpieces such as the display panel, the touch panel, the cover panel, the backlight, and the light guide plate (hereinafter simply referred to as work) are stacked and assembled in the casing of the flat panel display. Each of the workpieces is assembled individually or in a pre-laminated state. For example, it is sometimes used as a composite panel in which a touch panel is laminated on a protective cover. Made into parts.

而且,對於顯示面板,有時也會使用帶有觸摸面板功能的顯示面板。如此,作為工件有各種形態,以下將使多個構成顯示裝置的工件層疊而成者稱作顯示裝置用構件。 Moreover, for the display panel, a display panel with a touch panel function is sometimes used. As described above, various types of workpieces are used. Hereinafter, a plurality of workpieces constituting the display device are stacked as a member for a display device.

若在此種層疊為顯示裝置用構件的各工件之間設置間隙(gap),則會因外光反射而導致顯示器的顯示面的可見性下降。為了應對此現象,進行有下述操作:藉由將各工件經由黏合層予以貼合而層疊,從而填埋各工件之間的間隙。對於黏合層的形成,存在各種方法,作為一例,有藉由在任一個工件或者兩個工件表面塗布黏合劑而形成黏合層的方法。 When a gap is provided between the respective workpieces stacked in the member for the display device, the visibility of the display surface of the display is lowered due to the reflection of the external light. In order to cope with this phenomenon, there is an operation of laminating the workpieces by laminating the workpieces via the adhesive layer, thereby filling the gaps between the workpieces. There are various methods for forming the adhesive layer, and as an example, there is a method of forming an adhesive layer by applying a binder to the surface of either or both of the workpieces.

例如,在將圖19(A)及圖19(B)所示的矩形的液晶面板S1與圖19(C)及圖19(D)所示的在外周形成有印刷框P的罩面板S2予以貼合而構成顯示裝置用構件的情況下,作為一例,將黏合劑塗布在液晶面板S1一側。在塗布時,作為一例,使用狹縫(slit)型的噴嘴(nozzle)。藉由一邊從狹縫型噴嘴將紫外線(Ultraviolet,UV)固化樹脂的黏合劑塗布到工件的塗布面,一邊使噴嘴與工件相對移動,從而在工件的整個塗布面上塗布黏合劑,形成矩形形狀的黏合層R1。 For example, the rectangular liquid crystal panel S1 shown in FIGS. 19(A) and 19(B) and the cover panel S2 having the printing frame P formed on the outer circumference shown in FIGS. 19(C) and 19(D) are provided. In the case where the members for the display device are bonded together, as an example, the adhesive is applied to the liquid crystal panel S1 side. At the time of coating, as an example, a slit type nozzle is used. By applying an adhesive of an ultraviolet (UV) curable resin to a coated surface of a workpiece from a slit nozzle, the nozzle is moved relative to the workpiece to apply a binder to the entire coated surface of the workpiece to form a rectangular shape. Adhesive layer R1.

一般而言,液晶面板S1的顯示區域與由罩面板S2的印刷框P所圍成的內框F為相似形狀且為大致相同大小。因此,在液晶面板S1的整個表面上塗布黏合劑等同於:形成在液晶面板S1上的黏合層R1成為與由罩面板S2的印刷框P所圍成的內框F 為相似形狀及大致相同大小。即,在內框F為矩形的情況下,黏合層R1也以成為大致相同大小的矩形的方式而形成。由此,在兩面板被貼合時,黏合層R1的外緣重合於罩面板S2的內框F的框線,從而無法看到黏合層R1的線,製品的外觀變佳。 In general, the display area of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the inner frame F surrounded by the printing frame P of the cover panel S2 have similar shapes and are substantially the same size. Therefore, applying the adhesive on the entire surface of the liquid crystal panel S1 is equivalent to the fact that the adhesive layer R1 formed on the liquid crystal panel S1 becomes the inner frame F surrounded by the printing frame P of the cover panel S2. They are similar in shape and roughly the same size. That is, when the inner frame F is a rectangle, the adhesive layer R1 is also formed in a rectangular shape having substantially the same size. Thereby, when the two panels are bonded together, the outer edge of the adhesive layer R1 is superposed on the frame line of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2, so that the line of the adhesive layer R1 cannot be seen, and the appearance of the product is improved.

但是,從噴嘴噴出的黏合劑在被塗布到工件上之後,因表面張力而成為半球形。因此,即使利用狹縫型噴嘴來將黏合劑塗布成矩形形狀,黏合層R1的緣部在剖視時並非成直角,而是如圖19(A)及圖19(B)所示,成為在上部帶有弧形曲面的曲面狀態。在緣部中,尤其是在四角的部分,表面張力發揮大的作用,因此成為1/4的球形狀,成為形成有比其他部分大的弧形曲面的狀態。 However, the adhesive ejected from the nozzle becomes hemispherical due to surface tension after being applied to the workpiece. Therefore, even if the adhesive is applied in a rectangular shape by the slit type nozzle, the edge of the adhesive layer R1 is not at right angles in the cross-sectional view, but is formed as shown in FIGS. 19(A) and 19(B). The surface state with a curved surface on the top. In the edge portion, particularly in the four corner portions, the surface tension exerts a large effect, so that it has a spherical shape of 1/4 and a state in which a curved curved surface larger than the other portions is formed.

若在此狀態下貼合液晶面板S1與罩面板S2,則如圖20(A)、圖20(B)所示,有可能在黏合層R1的緣部與罩面板S2的內框F的框線之間產生間隙。而且,也可預先考慮形成在緣部的弧形曲面的大小來控制塗布形狀,但對於緣部的四角部分而言,由於形成有比直線部分大的弧形曲面,因此有時會在與內框F 的四角之間形成能夠看到的間隙。 When the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are bonded in this state, as shown in FIGS. 20(A) and 20(B), there is a possibility that the edge of the adhesive layer R1 and the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 are in the frame. A gap is created between the lines. Further, the shape of the curved curved surface formed at the edge portion may be controlled in advance to control the coating shape. However, since the four corner portions of the edge portion are formed with a curved curved surface larger than the straight portion, they may sometimes be Box F A gap that can be seen is formed between the four corners.

近年來,要求顯示面板的顯示區域的擴大化,對於印刷框的寬度要求盡可能窄。若存在此類嚴格的要求,則哪怕出現微小的間隙,也有可能在外觀方面造成製品不良。而且,在將顯示面板與觸摸面板等進行貼合的情況下,若與印刷框無關地在貼合面的緣部存在未填充有黏合劑的部分,則黏合層緣部的線將會存在於顯示區域中,從而造成外觀上的不良。無論如何,均容易從間隙部分產生剝離等,從而影響製品壽命。 In recent years, it has been required to enlarge the display area of the display panel, and the width of the printing frame is required to be as narrow as possible. If such strict requirements exist, even if there is a slight gap, it may cause defects in the appearance of the product. Further, when the display panel is bonded to a touch panel or the like, if there is a portion where the adhesive is not filled at the edge of the bonding surface regardless of the printing frame, the line of the edge of the bonding layer will exist. Display area, resulting in poor appearance. In any case, it is easy to cause peeling or the like from the gap portion, thereby affecting the life of the product.

本發明的目的在於,為了解決如上所述的問題而提供一種顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置及製造方法,藉由在黏合層的緣部與工件之間以不會產生間隙的方式來誘導黏合層,從而能夠製造高品質的顯示裝置用構件,而且製品的成品率也能夠提高。 An object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method for a member for a display device, which are capable of inducing an adhesive layer between edges of an adhesive layer and a workpiece without generating a gap in order to solve the above problems. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a member for a high-quality display device, and the yield of the product can be improved.

However, in the present embodiment, a description will be given of a display as a first workpiece. The panel and the cover panel as the second workpiece are bonded together via an adhesive to constitute a member for a display device.

顯示面板有液晶面板或有機EL面板等各個種類,其形狀也多種多樣,此處,作為一例,對使用如圖19(A)及圖19(B)所示的矩形形狀的液晶面板S1的例子進行說明。黏合劑既可塗布在液晶面板S1與罩面板S2中的任一者上,或者也可塗布在兩者上。本實施方式中,如圖19(B)所示,對在液晶面板S1的表面以規定的厚度塗布黏合劑而形成黏合層R1的例子進行說明。黏合劑是以遍佈液晶面板S1的整個面的方式而塗布,但為了在貼合時防止黏合劑從兩面板之間擠出,而以稍許保留液晶面板S1外緣的方式進行塗布。即,黏合層R1是與液晶面板S1相同的矩形形狀,是比液晶面板S1稍小的大小。 The display panel has various types such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL panel, and has various shapes. Here, as an example, an example of using a rectangular liquid crystal panel S1 as shown in FIGS. 19(A) and 19(B) is used. Be explained. The adhesive may be applied to either of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2, or may be applied to both. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19(B), an example in which a binder is applied to a surface of a liquid crystal panel S1 with a predetermined thickness to form an adhesive layer R1 will be described. The adhesive is applied so as to spread over the entire surface of the liquid crystal panel S1. However, in order to prevent the adhesive from being extruded between the two panels at the time of bonding, the adhesive is applied so as to slightly retain the outer edge of the liquid crystal panel S1. That is, the adhesive layer R1 has the same rectangular shape as the liquid crystal panel S1 and is slightly smaller than the liquid crystal panel S1.

罩面板也有各種種類或形狀,但本實施方式中,如圖19(C)及圖19(D)所示,使用比液晶面板S1大的矩形形狀的罩 面板S2。在該罩面板S2的底面側,以對外緣進行鑲邊的方式形成有規定寬度的印刷框P。即,從下表面觀察時,在罩面板S2上形成有由印刷框P所圍成的內框F。在圖19(C)及圖19(D)的例子中,內框F為矩形形狀且四角為圓弧狀,但並不限於圖示的例子,也可為五邊形或六邊形等其他的多邊形狀,四角也可在俯視時呈直角。另外,如圖19(D)所示,內框F的四角在剖視時呈大致直角。內框F的大小比液晶面板S1稍小。所述黏合層R1是以與該內框F為相似形狀及大致相同大小的方式而塗布。 Although there are various types or shapes of the cover panel, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 19(C) and 19(D), a rectangular cover having a larger shape than the liquid crystal panel S1 is used. Panel S2. A printing frame P having a predetermined width is formed on the bottom surface side of the cover panel S2 so as to be rimmed on the outer edge. That is, when viewed from the lower surface, the inner frame F surrounded by the printing frame P is formed on the cover panel S2. In the example of FIGS. 19(C) and 19(D), the inner frame F has a rectangular shape and the four corners have an arc shape. However, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example, and may be a pentagon or a hexagon. The polygonal shape and the four corners can also be at right angles in a plan view. Further, as shown in Fig. 19(D), the four corners of the inner frame F are substantially at right angles in the cross-sectional view. The size of the inner frame F is slightly smaller than that of the liquid crystal panel S1. The adhesive layer R1 is applied in such a manner that the inner frame F has a similar shape and substantially the same size.

The liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are picked up from the transport device 4 by a pickup device (not shown), and are carried into and discharged from the respective devices via a carry-in port (not shown). The display device member L is manufactured through the steps in the respective devices, and is carried out from the manufacturing device 100 for the display device by the unloader 300. The structure and function of each device will be described in detail below.

[黏合劑塗布裝置1] [Binder Coating Device 1]

黏合劑塗布裝置1作為顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置100的塗布部,在工件的表面塗布黏合劑R而形成黏合層R1。本實施方式中,對如上所述般在液晶面板S1的表面塗布黏合劑R的例子進行說明,但也可在罩面板S2上進行塗布,或者還可在兩面板上進行塗布。 The adhesive application device 1 is a coating portion of the manufacturing device 100 for a member for a display device, and a binder R is applied to the surface of the workpiece to form an adhesive layer R1. In the present embodiment, an example in which the binder R is applied to the surface of the liquid crystal panel S1 as described above will be described. However, the coating may be applied to the cover panel S2 or may be applied to both panels.

如圖2(A)所示,黏合劑塗布裝置1具備:支撐單元11,沿水平方向可往復移動地支撐液晶面板S1;以及塗布單元12,被分別配置在支撐單元11的上方。 As shown in FIG. 2(A), the adhesive application device 1 includes a support unit 11 that supports the liquid crystal panel S1 in a horizontally reciprocable manner, and a coating unit 12 that is disposed above the support unit 11, respectively.

支撐單元11將塗布面朝上地支撐黏合劑塗布裝置1中的液晶面板S1。該支撐單元11具有載台(stage)11a、驅動機構11b。載台11a是載置液晶面板S1的平板狀的平臺(table)。驅動機構11b是使載台11a沿水平方向往復移動的機構。作為驅動機構11b,例如考慮採用藉由驅動源來旋轉的滾珠螺桿(ball screw)。但是,只要是能夠使所載置的液晶面板S1沿水平方向往復移動的裝置,則也可為任何裝置。驅動機構11b中的載台11a的移動的開始、停止及速度是由控制裝置7予以控制。 The support unit 11 supports the liquid crystal panel S1 in the adhesive coating device 1 with the coated side facing up. The support unit 11 has a stage 11a and a drive mechanism 11b. The stage 11a is a flat plate-shaped table on which the liquid crystal panel S1 is placed. The drive mechanism 11b is a mechanism that reciprocates the stage 11a in the horizontal direction. As the drive mechanism 11b, for example, a ball screw that is rotated by a drive source is considered. However, any device may be used as long as it can reciprocate the liquid crystal panel S1 placed in the horizontal direction. The start, stop, and speed of the movement of the stage 11a in the drive mechanism 11b are controlled by the control device 7.

塗布單元12對液晶面板S1塗布黏合劑R。塗布單元12具備收容黏合劑R的儲槽(tank)T與分注器(dispenser)14。儲槽T經由黏合劑R的流路、即配管以及對黏合劑R的供給量進行調節的閥(valve)而連接於分注器14。分注器14例如可使用狹縫塗布機(slit coater),該狹縫塗布機具備藉由泵(pump)來對 液晶面板S1呈面狀地供給黏合劑R的狹縫。 The coating unit 12 applies the adhesive R to the liquid crystal panel S1. The coating unit 12 is provided with a tank T for accommodating the adhesive R and a dispenser 14 . The reservoir T is connected to the dispenser 14 via a flow path of the adhesive R, that is, a pipe and a valve that adjusts the supply amount of the adhesive R. The dispenser 14 can be, for example, a slit coater equipped with a pump. The liquid crystal panel S1 is supplied with a slit of the adhesive R in a planar shape.

狹縫是如下所述的開口,該開口與液晶面板S1的塗布面平行且在與液晶面板S1的相對移動方向正交的方向上細長地延伸,該狹縫的長邊方向的長度與液晶面板S1的寬度等同或稍短。分注器14的前端部分形成有噴嘴(狹縫噴嘴),該噴嘴在與載置於載台11a上的液晶面板S1相向的位置具備上述狹縫。 The slit is an opening which is parallel to the coated surface of the liquid crystal panel S1 and elongated in a direction orthogonal to the relative moving direction of the liquid crystal panel S1, the length of the slit in the longitudinal direction and the liquid crystal panel The width of S1 is equal or slightly shorter. The tip end portion of the dispenser 14 is formed with a nozzle (slit nozzle) provided with the slit at a position facing the liquid crystal panel S1 placed on the stage 11a.

藉由一邊從該噴嘴噴出黏合劑,一邊使載置有液晶面板S1的載台11a在噴嘴之下移動,從而如圖2(B)所示,在液晶面板S1的大致整個面上呈面狀地塗布黏合劑R,從而形成矩形形狀的黏合層R1。所謂在大致整個面上,是指稍許保留邊緣的部分。如上所述,罩面板S2的內框F的大小比液晶面板S1稍小。因此,藉由以稍許保留液晶面板S1邊緣的方式來塗布黏合層R1,從而能夠形成與內框F為相似形狀及大致相同大小的黏合層R1。 By ejecting the adhesive from the nozzle, the stage 11a on which the liquid crystal panel S1 is placed is moved under the nozzle, and as shown in FIG. 2(B), the surface of the liquid crystal panel S1 is planar. The adhesive R is applied to form a rectangular-shaped adhesive layer R1. The term "substantially the entire surface" refers to the portion that retains the edge slightly. As described above, the size of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 is slightly smaller than that of the liquid crystal panel S1. Therefore, by applying the adhesive layer R1 so as to slightly retain the edge of the liquid crystal panel S1, it is possible to form the adhesive layer R1 having a similar shape and substantially the same size as the inner frame F.

但是,如圖19(A)及圖19(B)所示,黏合層R1的緣部因表面張力的作用而成為曲面形狀。尤其,在四角的部分表面張力發揮大的作用,因此弧形曲面變大,成為1/4球形狀。所謂1/4球形狀,是指無論是在水平觀察時,還是在剖視時均呈曲面形狀。另一方面,罩面板S2的內框F的四角在剖視時為大致直角。在貼合時,以塗布於液晶面板S1的黏合層R1的外緣重合於罩面板S2的內框F的線的方式,即,以接觸的方式而層疊。但是,在黏合層R1的四角帶有大的弧形曲面。因此,如圖20(A)的圓圈部分所示,黏合層R1的四角在貼合時不會到達可與罩面板S2接 觸的位置C(以下簡稱作「接觸位置C」)。因此,若直接在此狀態下與罩面板S2貼合,則如圖20(B)所示,成為在黏合層R1的四角與罩面板S2的內框F的四角之間產生間隙的狀態。 However, as shown in FIGS. 19(A) and 19(B), the edge of the adhesive layer R1 has a curved shape due to the action of the surface tension. In particular, since the surface tension of the four corners plays a large role, the curved curved surface becomes large and becomes a 1/4 sphere shape. The 1/4 ball shape means that the shape is curved whether it is viewed horizontally or in cross section. On the other hand, the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 are substantially right angles in the cross-sectional view. At the time of bonding, the outer edge of the adhesive layer R1 applied to the liquid crystal panel S1 is superposed on the line of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2, that is, laminated so as to be in contact. However, a large curved curved surface is provided at the four corners of the adhesive layer R1. Therefore, as shown by the circled portion of FIG. 20(A), the four corners of the adhesive layer R1 do not reach when attached, and can be connected to the cover panel S2. The position C of the touch (hereinafter referred to as "contact position C"). Therefore, when it is bonded to the cover panel S2 directly in this state, as shown in FIG. 20(B), a gap is formed between the four corners of the adhesive layer R1 and the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2.

由於在黏合劑塗布裝置1中使用的黏合劑R要在後述的固化裝置3中進行固化處理,因此使用藉由來自外部的能量照射而固化的樹脂。例如,考慮紫外線(UV)固化樹脂或熱固化樹脂、其他藉由電磁波、放射線等的能量而固化的樹脂等。本實施方式中,使用UV固化樹脂來進行說明。所使用的黏合劑R的黏度並無特別限定。 Since the adhesive R used in the adhesive application device 1 is subjected to a curing treatment in the curing device 3 to be described later, a resin which is cured by irradiation with energy from the outside is used. For example, an ultraviolet (UV) curable resin, a thermosetting resin, and other resins which are cured by energy such as electromagnetic waves or radiation are considered. In the present embodiment, a description will be given using a UV curable resin. The viscosity of the binder R to be used is not particularly limited.

另外,此處對在載台11a中具備驅動機構,載台11a朝向塗布單元12移動的情況進行了說明,但該移動只要是相對移動即可。即,也可將載台11a固定,而在塗布單元12中具備驅動機構,塗布單元12朝向載台11a移動。 Here, the case where the stage 11a is provided with a drive mechanism and the stage 11a is moved toward the application unit 12 has been described here, but the movement may be relative movement. That is, the stage 11a may be fixed, and the application unit 12 may be provided with a drive mechanism, and the application unit 12 may be moved toward the stage 11a.

[貼合裝置2] [Finishing device 2]

貼合裝置2作為顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置100的貼合部,將液晶面板S1與罩面板S2層疊而貼合。 The bonding apparatus 2 is a bonding part of the manufacturing apparatus 100 of the member for display devices, and the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are laminated and bonded.

如圖3(A)所示,貼合裝置2成為在腔室(chamber)21內將下側板(plate)22與上側板23相向配置的結構。腔室21可上下移動,當朝上方移動時,下側板22與上側板23朝外部開放,從而可搬入液晶面板S1與罩面板S2。當腔室21朝下方移動時,下側板22與上側板23被收容至腔室21內,在腔室21內部形成密閉空間。腔室21可藉由未圖示的排氣部件來調整內部壓 力。即,當液晶面板S1與罩面板S2被搬入時,腔室21下降而內部被密閉並被減壓,在減壓環境下進行貼合。 As shown in FIG. 3(A), the bonding apparatus 2 has a structure in which a lower side plate 22 and an upper side plate 23 are opposed to each other in a chamber 21. The chamber 21 is movable up and down, and when moving upward, the lower side plate 22 and the upper side plate 23 are opened to the outside, so that the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 can be carried. When the chamber 21 moves downward, the lower side plate 22 and the upper side plate 23 are housed in the chamber 21, and a sealed space is formed inside the chamber 21. The chamber 21 can adjust the internal pressure by an exhaust member (not shown) force. In other words, when the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are carried in, the chamber 21 is lowered, the inside is sealed, and the pressure is reduced, and the pressure is applied in a reduced pressure environment.

本實施方式中,作為一例,對在下側板22上支撐塗布有黏合劑R的液晶面板S1,且在上側板23上保持罩面板S2的情況進行說明。 In the present embodiment, a case where the liquid crystal panel S1 to which the adhesive R is applied is supported on the lower side plate 22 and the cover panel S2 is held on the upper side plate 23 will be described as an example.

作為上側板23的保持機構,例如可適用靜電夾盤(chuck)、機械夾盤(mechanical chuck)、真空夾盤、黏接夾盤等在當前或將來可利用的所有保持機構。也可並用多個種類的夾盤。在上側板23上具備驅動機構25。藉由該驅動機構25,上側板23可沿水平方向及上下方向移動。 As the holding means of the upper side plate 23, for example, all holding mechanisms such as an electrostatic chuck, a mechanical chuck, a vacuum chuck, a bonding chuck, and the like which are currently or in the future can be applied. Multiple types of chucks can also be used in combination. A drive mechanism 25 is provided on the upper side plate 23. With the drive mechanism 25, the upper side plate 23 is movable in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction.

藉由上側板23沿水平方向移動,從而進行液晶面板S1 與罩面板S2的對位。進而,如圖3(B)所示,上側板23朝下方向移動,將所保持的罩面板S2按壓至由下側板22所支撐的液晶面板S1而進行層疊。液晶面板S1與罩面板S2經由塗布在液晶面板S1表面的黏合劑R而貼合,從而形成層疊體S10。 The liquid crystal panel S1 is moved by moving the upper side plate 23 in the horizontal direction. Alignment with the cover panel S2. Further, as shown in FIG. 3(B), the upper side plate 23 is moved downward, and the held cover panel S2 is pressed against the liquid crystal panel S1 supported by the lower side plate 22, and laminated. The liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are bonded together via the adhesive R applied on the surface of the liquid crystal panel S1, thereby forming a laminated body S10.

另外,下側板22也可具備與上側板23同樣的保持機構, 以免所支撐的液晶面板S1的位置發生偏離。而且,也可代替上側板23而使下側板22沿水平方向移動以進行對位。當然,也可使上側板23及下側板22兩者沿水平方向移動。 Further, the lower side plate 22 may have the same holding mechanism as the upper side plate 23, In order to avoid deviation of the position of the supported liquid crystal panel S1. Further, instead of the upper side plate 23, the lower side plate 22 may be moved in the horizontal direction to perform alignment. Of course, both the upper side plate 23 and the lower side plate 22 can be moved in the horizontal direction.

[固化裝置3] [Curing device 3]

固化裝置3作為顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置100的固化部,使貼合液晶面板S1與罩面板S2的黏合層R1固化。如圖4(A)、 圖4(B)所示,固化裝置3具備載置層疊體S10的載置台31、及配置在載置台31上的照射單元33。 The curing device 3 is a curing portion of the manufacturing device 100 for a member for a display device, and cures the adhesion layer R1 to which the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are bonded. As shown in Figure 4 (A), As shown in FIG. 4(B), the curing device 3 includes a mounting table 31 on which the stacked body S10 is placed, and an irradiation unit 33 disposed on the mounting table 31.

照射單元33包含照射固化能量的裝置。所照射的能量的種類可根據所使用的黏合劑R的種類,而從包含紫外線、紅外線等電磁波、粒子束的放射線等中適當選擇。當使用UV固化樹脂來作為黏合劑R時,照射單元33例如可包含能夠發出UV的一個或多個燈(lamp)或發光二極體(Light Emitting Diode,LED)等。照射單元33的照射被調節成,能夠照射使黏合層R1固化所需的量的能量。該能量的量是藉由照射的強度與時間而得到調整。 The irradiation unit 33 includes means for irradiating the curing energy. The type of the energy to be irradiated can be appropriately selected from the group consisting of electromagnetic waves such as ultraviolet rays and infrared rays, radiation of particle beams, and the like, depending on the type of the binder R to be used. When a UV curable resin is used as the binder R, the irradiation unit 33 may include, for example, one or more lamps or light emitting diodes (LEDs) capable of emitting UV. The irradiation of the irradiation unit 33 is adjusted to be able to illuminate the amount of energy required to cure the adhesive layer R1. The amount of energy is adjusted by the intensity and time of the illumination.

[搬送裝置4] [Transporting device 4]

搬送裝置4構成顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置100的搬送部。搬送裝置4包含將液晶面板S1與罩面板S2搬送至所述黏合劑塗布裝置1、貼合裝置2及固化裝置3的各部分的搬送部及其驅動機構。作為搬送部,例如考慮轉臺、輸送機(conveyor)、可行走地設置在軌道(rail)上的拾取部件等,只要是可在所述的各裝置之間搬送液晶面板S1與罩面板S2的裝置,則也可為任何裝置。 The transport device 4 constitutes a transport unit of the manufacturing device 100 for the display device member. The transport device 4 includes a transport unit that transports the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 to each of the adhesive application device 1 , the bonding device 2 , and the curing device 3 , and a drive mechanism thereof. As the transport unit, for example, a turntable, a conveyor, a pick-up member that is slidably mounted on a rail, or the like is considered, and the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 can be transported between the respective devices. The device can also be any device.

本實施方式中,如圖5所示,對使用輸送機40來作為搬送部的例子進行說明。液晶面板S1及罩面板S2被載置於該輸送機40的面上而受到搬送。黏合劑塗布裝置1、貼合裝置2及固化裝置3是沿著該輸送機40而配置,借助未圖示的拾取部件,可實現面板從輸送機40向各裝置的搬入及搬出。 In the present embodiment, as an example of using the conveyor 40 as a conveying unit, as shown in FIG. The liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are placed on the surface of the conveyor 40 and transported. The adhesive application device 1, the bonding device 2, and the curing device 3 are disposed along the conveyor 40, and the loading and unloading of the panel from the conveyor 40 to each device can be realized by a pickup member (not shown).

此處,為了便於說明,將由輸送機40搬送兩面板的方向 設為「搬送方向」,將在輸送機40上與搬送方向正交的方向設為「橫剖方向」。將輸送機40的搬送方向上的載入器200側設為「上游側」,將卸載器300側設為「下游側」。將輸送機40的橫剖方向上的接近黏合劑塗布裝置1、貼合裝置2及固化裝置3的一側設為「裏側」,將遠的一側設為「跟前側」。 Here, for convenience of explanation, the direction in which the two panels are conveyed by the conveyor 40 will be described. In the "transport direction", the direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction on the conveyor 40 is referred to as "cross-sectional direction". The side of the loader 200 in the conveyance direction of the conveyor 40 is referred to as "upstream side", and the side of the unloader 300 is referred to as "downstream side". The side closer to the adhesive application device 1 , the bonding device 2 , and the curing device 3 in the cross-sectional direction of the conveyor 40 is referred to as "back side", and the far side is referred to as "front side".

在搬送裝置4中,以在橫剖方向上鄰接的方式設置有攝像裝置5及黏合層誘導部形成裝置6。攝像裝置5及黏合層誘導部形成裝置6被配置在輸送機40上的黏合劑塗布裝置1與貼合裝置2之間。如圖6所示,攝像裝置5具備配置在輸送機40上方的照相機(camera)本體51a、及從照相機本體51a朝向輸送機40延伸的透鏡(lens)鏡筒51b。 In the transport device 4, the imaging device 5 and the adhesion layer inducing portion forming device 6 are provided adjacent to each other in the transverse direction. The imaging device 5 and the adhesion layer inducing portion forming device 6 are disposed between the adhesive coating device 1 on the conveyor 40 and the bonding device 2. As shown in FIG. 6, the imaging device 5 includes a camera body 51a disposed above the conveyor 40, and a lens barrel 51b extending from the camera body 51a toward the conveyor 40.

黏合層誘導部形成裝置6被配置在攝像裝置5的輸送機 跟前側。黏合層誘導部形成裝置6形成黏合層誘導部RG。黏合層誘導部RG將在黏合劑塗布裝置1中形成於液晶面板S1的黏合層R1的緣部的黏合劑R誘導至規定位置。在矩形形狀液晶面板S1的情況下,在貼合時將四角的黏合劑R誘導至規定位置、即與罩面板S2的接觸位置C。黏合層誘導部RG只要在貼合裝置2中的貼合時最終誘導黏合層R1即可,因此該黏合層誘導部RG的形成既可在形成有黏合層R1的液晶面板S1上進行,也可在相向的罩面板S2上進行。本實施方式中,對在貼合時黏合層R1的四角應接觸的部分、即罩面板S2的內框F的四角而形成黏合層誘導部RG。 The adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 is disposed on the conveyor of the image pickup device 5 With the front side. The adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 forms an adhesive layer inducing portion RG. The adhesive layer inducing portion RG induces the adhesive R formed at the edge of the adhesive layer R1 of the liquid crystal panel S1 in the adhesive application device 1 to a predetermined position. In the case of the rectangular liquid crystal panel S1, the four corner adhesives R are induced to a predetermined position, that is, the contact position C with the cover panel S2 at the time of bonding. The adhesive layer inducing portion RG may eventually induce the adhesive layer R1 when it is bonded to the bonding apparatus 2, and thus the adhesion layer inducing portion RG may be formed on the liquid crystal panel S1 on which the adhesive layer R1 is formed, or may be formed on the liquid crystal panel S1 in which the adhesive layer R1 is formed. It is carried out on the opposite cover panel S2. In the present embodiment, the adhesive layer inducing portion RG is formed at the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 at the portions where the four corners of the adhesive layer R1 should be contacted at the time of bonding.

形成黏合層誘導部RG的方法並不限定於一種,例如可藉由對任一面板供給親黏合劑性材料而形成。親黏合劑性材料是指與黏合劑的親和性高的材料,當接觸塗布於液晶面板S1的黏合層時,成為誘因而起到誘導黏合劑R的作用。親黏合劑性材料並不限於特定的材料,本實施方式中,作為一例,使用黏合劑R10。黏合劑R10並不限於與塗布於液晶面板S1的黏合劑R相同者,也可使用不同者。形成黏合層誘導部RG的黏合劑R10只要起到作為誘因的作用即可,無須如形成黏合層R1的黏合劑R般塗布得較厚,因此無須擔心黏合層R1潰散。因此,也可使用黏度比黏合劑R低的黏合劑。 The method of forming the adhesion layer inducing portion RG is not limited to one, and can be formed, for example, by supplying an adhesive material to any of the panels. The adhesive material is a material having a high affinity with the binder, and when it comes into contact with the adhesive layer applied to the liquid crystal panel S1, it acts to induce the binder R. The adhesive material is not limited to a specific material, and in the present embodiment, as an example, the binder R10 is used. The binder R10 is not limited to the same as the binder R applied to the liquid crystal panel S1, and different ones may be used. The adhesive R10 forming the adhesion layer inducing portion RG may function as a cause, and does not need to be coated as thick as the adhesive R of the adhesive layer R1, so that it is not necessary to worry about the collapse of the adhesive layer R1. Therefore, a binder having a lower viscosity than the binder R can also be used.

如圖6所示,黏合層誘導部形成裝置6具備:儲槽T10,收容用於形成黏合層誘導部RG的黏合劑R10;以及分注器61。儲槽T10經由黏合劑R的流路、即配管及對黏合劑R的供給量進行調節的閥而連接於分注器61。 As shown in FIG. 6, the adhesion layer inducing portion forming device 6 includes a reservoir T10, an adhesive R10 for forming an adhesion layer inducing portion RG, and a dispenser 61. The storage tank T10 is connected to the dispenser 61 via a flow path of the adhesive R, that is, a pipe and a valve for adjusting the supply amount of the adhesive R.

分注器61只要可供給黏合劑R10,則並不限定於特定者,但若考慮到作為黏合劑R的誘因的作用,則理想的是,黏合劑R10可限定地且薄薄地塗布在欲誘導黏合劑R的部分。因此,例如可使用借由將黏合劑按壓至塗布面而轉印的轉印裝置。本實施方式中,作為此種轉印裝置的例子,對使用壓印(stamp)式噴嘴的例子進行說明。而且,後文將用於形成黏合層誘導部RG的黏合劑R10稱作「壓印用黏合劑R10」。另外,在圖6及以後的圖式中,黏合層誘導部RG是誇張地加大厚度而顯示,並不反映實際的 大小。 The dispenser 61 is not limited to a specific one as long as it can supply the adhesive R10. However, in consideration of the action as a cause of the binder R, it is preferable that the binder R10 is applied in a limited and thin manner to be induced. Part of the binder R. Therefore, for example, a transfer device that transfers by pressing the adhesive onto the coated surface can be used. In the present embodiment, an example in which a stamp type nozzle is used will be described as an example of such a transfer device. Further, the binder R10 for forming the adhesion layer inducing portion RG will hereinafter be referred to as "imprinting adhesive R10". In addition, in FIG. 6 and the following drawings, the adhesion layer inducing portion RG is displayed in an exaggerated manner and does not reflect the actual value. size.

分注器61經由未圖示的固定件而安裝於攝像裝置5的透鏡鏡筒51b,且以噴嘴前端與輸送機40的上表面相向的方式而配置。並且,分注器61以噴嘴前端的位置較透鏡鏡筒的前端位於下方的方式而配置。噴嘴前端的形狀例如可設為帶圓角的矩形,以可沿著罩面板S2的內框F的四角來形成黏合層誘導部RG。或者,可設為直角三角形的形狀,使直角的部分對準四角的角。 The dispenser 61 is attached to the lens barrel 51b of the imaging device 5 via a fixing member (not shown), and is disposed such that the tip end of the nozzle faces the upper surface of the conveyor 40. Further, the dispenser 61 is disposed such that the position of the tip end of the nozzle is located below the front end of the lens barrel. The shape of the tip end of the nozzle can be, for example, a rectangle having rounded corners so that the adhesion layer inducing portion RG can be formed along the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2. Alternatively, it may be a shape of a right-angled triangle such that a right-angled portion is aligned with a corner of the four corners.

攝像裝置5連結於未圖示的驅動機構。借助該驅動機構,攝像裝置5至少可朝橫剖方向及上下方向移動。如上所述,黏合層誘導部形成裝置6的分注器61連結於攝像裝置5的透鏡鏡筒51b,因此黏合層誘導部形成裝置6與攝像裝置5一體地移動。另外,也可不使攝像裝置5與黏合層誘導部形成裝置6連結,而分別設置驅動機構,以獨立或同步地移動。 The imaging device 5 is connected to a drive mechanism (not shown). The imaging device 5 can be moved at least in the transverse direction and the vertical direction by the drive mechanism. As described above, since the dispenser 61 of the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 is coupled to the lens barrel 51b of the imaging device 5, the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 moves integrally with the imaging device 5. Further, the imaging device 5 may be connected to the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6, and the driving mechanism may be separately provided to move independently or synchronously.

藉由輸送機40朝向搬送方向的移動與驅動機構朝向橫剖方向的移動的組合,攝像裝置5能夠對在輸送機40上搬送的液晶面板S1及罩面板S2的所需部分進行攝像。而且,藉由輸送機40朝向搬送方向的移動與驅動機構朝向橫剖方向及上下方向的移動的組合,黏合層誘導部形成裝置6能夠對在輸送機40上搬送的液晶面板S1或罩面板S2的所需部分形成黏合層誘導部。 The imaging device 5 can image a desired portion of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 conveyed on the conveyor 40 by a combination of the movement of the conveyor 40 in the conveyance direction and the movement of the drive mechanism in the transverse direction. Further, the adhesion layer inducing portion forming device 6 can convey the liquid crystal panel S1 or the cover panel S2 conveyed on the conveyor 40 by the combination of the movement of the conveyor 40 in the conveyance direction and the movement of the drive mechanism in the transverse direction and the vertical direction. The desired portion forms an adhesion layer inducing portion.

而且,如上所述,黏合層誘導部形成裝置6的噴嘴前端較攝像裝置5的透鏡鏡筒的前端而位於下方。當使驅動機構朝下方向移動時,黏合層誘導部形成裝置6的噴嘴前端較透鏡鏡筒51b 先接觸塗布面,因此可轉印黏合劑R10而不受透鏡鏡筒51b妨礙。對於攝像裝置5與黏合層誘導部形成裝置6的具體動作,將在作用一項中詳述。 Further, as described above, the tip end of the nozzle of the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 is located below the tip end of the lens barrel of the image pickup device 5. When the driving mechanism is moved downward, the nozzle front end of the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 is smaller than the lens barrel 51b Since the coated surface is first contacted, the adhesive R10 can be transferred without being hindered by the lens barrel 51b. The specific operation of the imaging device 5 and the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 will be described in detail in the action.

[作用] [effect]

除了參照圖1~圖6以外,還參照圖7(A)、圖7(B)、 圖7(C)、圖7(D)~圖10(A)、圖10(B)來說明具有如上所述結構的本實施方式的作用。另外,各裝置或液晶面板S1及罩面板S2的位置及大小等不過是為了便於說明而表現。 Referring to Figures 1 to 6, reference is also made to Figures 7(A) and 7(B). 7(C), 7(D) to 10(A) and 10(B), the operation of the present embodiment having the above configuration will be described. In addition, the position, size, and the like of each device or the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are merely for convenience of explanation.

首先,如圖1所示,液晶面板S1及罩面板S2由載入器200搬入顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置100,並在搬送裝置4的輸送機40上予以搬送。各個面板以成為貼合面的面處於上側的方式受到搬送。即,本實施方式中,液晶面板S1以形成黏合層R1的面朝向上側的方式而載置,罩面板S2以形成有印刷框P的面朝向上側的方式而載置於輸送機40上。 First, as shown in FIG. 1, the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are carried by the loader 200 into the manufacturing apparatus 100 of the member for display devices, and are conveyed on the conveyor 40 of the conveyance apparatus 4. Each of the panels is conveyed so that the surface to be the bonding surface is on the upper side. In other words, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal panel S1 is placed such that the surface on which the adhesion layer R1 is formed faces upward, and the cover panel S2 is placed on the conveyor 40 so that the surface on which the printing frame P is formed faces upward. .

[黏合劑塗布處理] [Binder coating treatment]

如圖7(A)所示,液晶面板S1由未圖示的拾取部件所拾取,並載置於黏合劑塗布裝置1的載台11a上。載台11a藉由驅動機構而在朝向塗布單元12的方向(以下稱作「移動方向」)上開始移動。 As shown in FIG. 7(A), the liquid crystal panel S1 is picked up by a pick-up member (not shown) and placed on the stage 11a of the adhesive application device 1. The stage 11a starts moving in the direction toward the coating unit 12 (hereinafter referred to as "moving direction" by the drive mechanism.

如圖7(B)所示,塗布單元12在液晶面板S1的塗布開 始位置來到狹縫噴嘴的前端位置時,開始黏合劑R的噴出。由於載台11a繼續移動,因此如圖7(C)所示,在液晶面板S1的面上塗布黏合劑R。如圖7(D)所示,在液晶面板S1的塗布結束位置來到狹縫噴嘴的前端位置時,結束黏合劑R的噴出。塗布開始位置是液晶面板S1的一邊的端部(圖中為左端),塗布結束位置是與該塗布開始位置相向的一邊的端部(圖中為右端)。 As shown in FIG. 7(B), the coating unit 12 is coated on the liquid crystal panel S1. When the starting position comes to the front end position of the slit nozzle, the ejection of the adhesive R is started. Since the stage 11a continues to move, as shown in FIG. 7(C), the adhesive R is applied to the surface of the liquid crystal panel S1. As shown in FIG. 7(D), when the application end position of the liquid crystal panel S1 reaches the tip end position of the slit nozzle, the discharge of the adhesive R is completed. The application start position is an end portion (left end in the drawing) of one side of the liquid crystal panel S1, and the application end position is an end portion (right end in the drawing) that is opposite to the application start position.

藉由該載台11a的移動與塗布單元12對黏合劑R的噴 出,在液晶面板S1的上表面形成矩形形狀的黏合層R1。黏合層R1是以成為與貼合液晶面板S1的罩面板S2的內框F為相似形狀及大致相同大小的方式而形成。「相似形狀及大致相同大小」是指:當液晶面板S1及罩面板S2貼合時,黏合層R1的外緣與內框F的外緣大致重合的形狀及大小。進而,在提到「相似形狀及相同大小」的情況下,並非僅表示大小完全一致的情況,而也包括意味著約為相同大小的「大致相同大小」。 Spraying of the adhesive R by the movement of the stage 11a and the coating unit 12 A rectangular-shaped adhesive layer R1 is formed on the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel S1. The adhesive layer R1 is formed to have a similar shape and substantially the same size as the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 to which the liquid crystal panel S1 is bonded. The "similar shape and substantially the same size" means a shape and a size in which the outer edge of the adhesive layer R1 substantially overlaps the outer edge of the inner frame F when the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are bonded together. Further, when "similar shape and same size" are mentioned, not only the case where the sizes are completely identical but also the "substantially the same size" of the same size is included.

但是,如上所述,在黏合層R1的緣部,因表面張力起作用而成為曲面形狀(參照圖19(A)及圖19(B)),尤其四角的部分成為1/4球面形狀。因此,若不到達與罩面板S2的內框F的四角的接觸位置C(參照圖20(A)),而直接在此狀態下與罩面板S2貼合,則會成為在黏合層R1的緣部或者四角與罩面板S2的內框F的邊或四角之間產生間隙的狀態(參照圖20(B))。 However, as described above, the edge portion of the adhesive layer R1 has a curved surface shape due to the surface tension (see FIGS. 19(A) and 19(B)), and particularly the four corner portions have a 1/4 spherical shape. Therefore, if it does not reach the contact position C with respect to the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 (refer FIG. 20 (A)), and it is bonded directly to the cover panel S2 in this state, it will become the edge of the adhesive layer R1. A state in which a gap is formed between the four corners and the side or the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 (see FIG. 20(B)).

[攝像處理、位置檢測處理及黏合層誘導部形成處理] [Image processing, position detection processing, and adhesion layer forming unit formation processing]

形成有黏合層R1的液晶面板S1由未圖示的拾取部件從黏合劑塗布裝置1搬出,被再次載置於搬送裝置4的輸送機40上,並與罩面板S2會合。如圖5所示,液晶面板S1與罩面板S2是以在輸送機40的橫剖方向上鄰接且大致平行地排列的方式而載置。圖式中,圖示了液晶面板S1被載置於輸送機40裏側、罩面板S2被載置於輸送機40跟前側的例子,但載置位置並不限於此,也可將液晶面板S1載置於輸送機40跟前側、將罩面板S2載置於輸送機40裏側。液晶面板S1與罩面板S2在輸送機40上受到搬送, 移動至攝像裝置5及黏合層誘導部形成裝置6之下為止。 The liquid crystal panel S1 in which the adhesive layer R1 is formed is carried out from the adhesive application device 1 by a pick-up member (not shown), and is placed on the conveyor 40 of the transport device 4 again, and is brought into contact with the cover panel S2. As shown in FIG. 5, the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are placed so as to be adjacent to each other in the transverse direction of the conveyor 40, and are arranged substantially in parallel. In the drawing, an example in which the liquid crystal panel S1 is placed on the inner side of the conveyor 40 and the cover panel S2 is placed on the front side of the conveyor 40 is illustrated. However, the placement position is not limited thereto, and the liquid crystal panel S1 may be mounted. The cover panel S2 is placed on the front side of the conveyor 40 on the front side of the conveyor 40. The liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are transported on the conveyor 40. It moves to below the imaging device 5 and the adhesion layer induction part forming apparatus 6.

此處,進行攝像裝置5的攝像處理、控制裝置7的位置檢測處理、及黏合層誘導部形成裝置6的黏合層誘導部形成處理。 Here, imaging processing of the imaging device 5, position detection processing of the control device 7, and adhesion layer inducing portion forming processing of the adhesion layer inducing portion forming device 6 are performed.

攝像處理及位置檢測處理是為了獲取在後述的貼合處理的兩面板的對位元時使用的資料而進行。如上所述,液晶面板S1與罩面板S2以形成於液晶面板S1的黏合層R1的外緣與罩面板S2的內框F的線重合的方式而層疊。即,以使形成於液晶面板S1上的黏合層R1的四角與罩面板S2的內框F的四角(以下也簡稱作「罩面板S2的四角」)對準的方式來進行貼合。在兩面板的四角的位置存在偏離的情況下,必須在貼合之前修正該偏離。因此,在攝像處理中進行液晶面板S1的四角與罩面板S2的內框F的四角附近(圖9(A)及圖9(B)的虛線圓圈所示的部分)的攝像,在位置檢測處理中確定兩面板的四角的座標。 The imaging processing and the position detection processing are performed in order to acquire data used in the alignment of the two panels of the bonding process to be described later. As described above, the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are stacked such that the outer edge of the adhesive layer R1 formed on the liquid crystal panel S1 overlaps with the line of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2. In other words, the four corners of the adhesive layer R1 formed on the liquid crystal panel S1 are bonded to the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 (hereinafter also simply referred to as "four corners of the cover panel S2"). In the case where there is a deviation in the positions of the four corners of the two panels, the deviation must be corrected before the fitting. Therefore, in the imaging processing, imaging is performed in the vicinity of the four corners of the inner frame F of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 (the portion indicated by the dotted circle in FIGS. 9(A) and 9(B)), and the position detection processing is performed. Determine the coordinates of the four corners of the two panels.

為了該貼合處理中的對位而獲取的罩面板S2的內框F的四角的座標在黏合層誘導部形成處理中也得到利用。如上所述,黏合層誘導部RG是以在貼合時可誘導黏合層R1的四角的方式而形成於罩面板S2的內框F的四角。此處,藉由利用為了兩面板的對位而確定的四角的座標,從而能夠在準確的位置形成黏合層誘導部RG。 The coordinates of the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 obtained for the alignment in the bonding process are also utilized in the adhesion layer inducing portion forming process. As described above, the adhesive layer inducing portion RG is formed at the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 so as to induce the four corners of the adhesive layer R1 at the time of bonding. Here, by using the coordinates of the four corners determined for the alignment of the two panels, the adhesion layer inducing portion RG can be formed at an accurate position.

攝像處理、位置檢測處理及黏合層誘導部形成處理也可各自獨立地進行,但可將輸送機40朝向搬送方向的移動與攝像裝置5及黏合層誘導部形成裝置6朝向橫剖方向及上下方向的移動 加以組合,而同時進行。 The imaging processing, the position detecting process, and the adhesion layer inducing portion forming process may be performed independently, but the movement of the conveyor 40 in the conveying direction and the imaging device 5 and the adhesion layer inducing portion forming device 6 may be directed in the transverse direction and the vertical direction. Move Combine and do it at the same time.

例如,如圖8(A)所示,首先使載置有液晶面板S1及罩面板S2的輸送機40沿搬送方向移動,使面板的位於上游側的端部(以下稱作前端)停止在位於攝像裝置5之下的位置。接下來,如圖8(B)所示,使攝像裝置5從裝置跟前側沿橫剖方向朝向裏側移動,在各角的位置處停止,以獲取包含各角的圖像。另外,輸送機40及攝像裝置5的移動量及停止位置可按照面板的尺寸等來預先決定,並預先保存在控制裝置7的儲存部中。 For example, as shown in FIG. 8(A), first, the conveyor 40 on which the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are placed is moved in the transport direction, and the end portion (hereinafter referred to as the front end) of the panel on the upstream side is stopped. The position below the camera unit 5. Next, as shown in FIG. 8(B), the imaging device 5 is moved from the front side of the apparatus toward the back side in the cross-sectional direction, and stopped at the position of each corner to acquire an image including each corner. In addition, the amount of movement and the stop position of the conveyor 40 and the imaging device 5 can be determined in advance according to the size of the panel or the like, and are stored in advance in the storage unit of the control device 7.

控制裝置7每當攝像裝置5獲取各角的圖像時,進行位置檢測處理。位置檢測可使用公知的方法。例如,對於液晶面板S1,分析圖像以檢測面板的輪廓,將以面板兩邊的交點為中心的規定範圍確定為角,並求出其座標。對於罩面板S2,同樣分析圖像以檢測內框F的輪廓,將以內框F的框線兩邊的交點為中心的規定範圍確定為角,並求出其座標。 The control device 7 performs position detection processing each time the imaging device 5 acquires an image of each corner. A well-known method can be used for position detection. For example, in the liquid crystal panel S1, an image is analyzed to detect the outline of the panel, and a predetermined range centering on the intersection of both sides of the panel is determined as an angle, and the coordinates are obtained. In the cover panel S2, the image is also analyzed to detect the outline of the inner frame F, and a predetermined range centering on the intersection of both sides of the frame line of the inner frame F is determined as an angle, and the coordinates are obtained.

對於進行壓印用黏合劑R10的轉印的罩面板S2,在位置檢測處理之後,還基於藉由位置檢測處理所獲取的座標來進行黏合層誘導部形成處理。使黏合層誘導部形成裝置6的分注器61移動到在控制裝置7中確定的角的座標。並且,從分注器61噴出壓印用黏合劑R10。 The cover panel S2 that performs the transfer of the imprinting adhesive R10 performs the adhesion layer inducing portion forming process based on the coordinates acquired by the position detecting process after the position detecting process. The dispenser 61 of the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 is moved to the coordinates of the angle determined in the control device 7. Then, the imprinting adhesive R10 is ejected from the dispenser 61.

在對罩面板S2進行黏合層誘導部形成處理的情況下,如圖9(A)所示,使分注器61移動到罩面板S2的內框F的各角的座標。進而,使分注器61下降以將噴嘴前端按壓至罩面板S2的 角。噴出壓印用黏合劑R10而轉印至罩面板S2。分注器61的噴嘴前端成為沿著罩面板S2的內框F的角的形態,因此如圖9(B)所示,壓印用黏合劑R10以沿著罩面板S2的內框F的角的方式而得到轉印,從而形成黏合層誘導部RG。 When the adhesive layer inducing portion forming process is performed on the cover panel S2, as shown in FIG. 9(A), the dispenser 61 is moved to the coordinates of the respective corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2. Further, the dispenser 61 is lowered to press the tip end of the nozzle to the cover panel S2. angle. The imprinting adhesive R10 is ejected and transferred to the cover panel S2. The tip end of the nozzle of the dispenser 61 is formed along the corner of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9(B), the binder R10 for imprinting is along the corner of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2. The transfer is performed in such a manner as to form the adhesion layer inducing portion RG.

另外,分注器61連結於攝像裝置5,且在橫剖方向上鄰接,因此在利用攝像裝置5來拍攝角之後,使攝像裝置5朝裝置跟前側或裏側移動,從而能夠使分注器61容易地移動到角的座標。 Further, since the dispenser 61 is connected to the imaging device 5 and is adjacent to each other in the transverse direction, the imaging device 5 is moved toward the front side or the back side after the image is taken by the imaging device 5, whereby the dispenser 61 can be made. Easily move to the coordinates of the corner.

當對前端側的各角完成所述處理後,如圖8(A)所示,使輸送機40沿搬送方向移動,使液晶面板S1及罩面板S2的位於下游側的端部(以下稱作後端)停止在位於攝像裝置5之下的位置。並且,如圖8(B)所示,一邊使攝像裝置5從裝置裏側沿橫剖方向朝向跟前側移動,一邊拍攝後端側的各角。與前端側同樣地,每當獲取角的圖像時,在控制裝置7中進行位置檢測處理,進而對於罩面板S2也進行黏合層誘導部形成處理。 When the above processing is completed for each corner of the front end side, as shown in FIG. 8(A), the conveyor 40 is moved in the transport direction, and the end portions of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 on the downstream side (hereinafter referred to as The rear end) is stopped at a position below the camera unit 5. Then, as shown in FIG. 8(B), the imaging device 5 is photographed while moving from the back side of the apparatus toward the front side in the cross-sectional direction. Similarly to the distal end side, each time the image of the angle is acquired, the position detecting process is performed in the control device 7, and the adhesive layer inducing portion forming process is also performed on the cover panel S2.

另外,所述各角的處理順序為一例,順序可適當變更。而且,輸送機40的移動或攝像裝置5及黏合層誘導部形成裝置6的移動也可為相對移動,例如也可使攝像裝置5及黏合層誘導部形成裝置6不僅沿橫剖方向,也沿搬送方向或搬送方向的逆向移動而進行處理。 Further, the processing order of each of the corners is an example, and the order can be changed as appropriate. Further, the movement of the conveyor 40 or the movement of the image pickup device 5 and the adhesion layer inducing portion forming device 6 may be relative movement. For example, the image pickup device 5 and the adhesion layer inducing portion forming device 6 may be not only in the transverse direction but also along the edge. The reverse direction of the transport direction or the transport direction is processed.

[貼合處理] [Finishing process]

當液晶面板S1及罩面板S2全部四角的攝像處理及位置檢測處理與針對罩面板S2的黏合層誘導部形成處理完成時,液晶面板S1 及罩面板S2在輸送機40上受到搬送,由未圖示的拾取部件搬入至貼合裝置2。此時,以維持在所述位置檢測處理中檢測出的各角的座標的方式來進行搬入。 When the imaging processing and the position detecting process of all the four corners of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 and the bonding layer inducing portion forming process for the cover panel S2 are completed, the liquid crystal panel S1 is completed. The cover panel S2 is conveyed on the conveyor 40, and is carried into the bonding apparatus 2 by a pick-up member not shown. At this time, the loading is performed so as to maintain the coordinates of the respective corners detected in the position detecting process.

如圖3(A)所示,在貼合裝置2中,形成有黏合層R1的液晶面板S1被載置於下側板22。此時,以形成有黏合層R1的表面朝上的方式受到載置。罩面板S2以貼合面朝下的方式而反轉,並被交接至上側板23而由保持機構予以保持。兩面板以保持在搬送裝置4中檢測出的位置資訊的方式進行交接。 As shown in FIG. 3(A), in the bonding apparatus 2, the liquid crystal panel S1 in which the adhesion layer R1 is formed is placed on the lower side plate 22. At this time, the surface on which the adhesive layer R1 is formed faces upward is placed. The cover panel S2 is reversed such that the bonding surface faces downward, and is delivered to the upper side plate 23 to be held by the holding mechanism. The two panels are delivered so as to maintain the position information detected by the transport device 4.

此時,腔室21朝上方移動,因此下側板22與上側板23開放。當兩面板的搬送完成時,腔室21受到驅動而位於下方,將下側板22與上側板23收容至腔室21的內部。在腔室21內部形成有密閉空間,藉由未圖示的排氣部件對密閉空間內進行減壓。 At this time, since the chamber 21 moves upward, the lower side plate 22 and the upper side plate 23 are opened. When the conveyance of the two panels is completed, the chamber 21 is driven to be positioned below, and the lower side panel 22 and the upper side panel 23 are housed inside the chamber 21. A sealed space is formed inside the chamber 21, and the inside of the sealed space is decompressed by an exhaust member (not shown).

如上所述,液晶面板S1及罩面板S2以使各自的四角對準的方式而層疊,但也有可能在各自的四角的位置產生偏離,因此在貼合之前,進行液晶面板S1及罩面板S2的位置修正。位置修正是基於在搬送裝置4的位置檢測處理中檢測出的各角的座標而進行。位置修正可使用公知的方法,但例如可將各角的位置基準值預先保存在控制裝置7的儲存部中,根據該位置基準值與檢測出的各角的座標的差值來計算位置修正量。 As described above, the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are stacked such that their respective four corners are aligned. However, there is a possibility that the positions of the four corners are shifted. Therefore, before the bonding, the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are formed. Position correction. The position correction is performed based on the coordinates of the respective corners detected in the position detecting process of the conveying device 4. A known method can be used for the position correction. For example, the position reference value of each corner can be stored in advance in the storage unit of the control device 7, and the position correction amount can be calculated based on the difference between the position reference value and the coordinates of the detected angles. .

基於算出的位置修正量,使上側板23沿x、y、θ方向移動,由此來修正液晶面板S1及罩面板S2的位置偏離。另外,此處對移動上側板23來進行位置修正的例子進行了說明,但也可移 動下側板22、或者移動上側板22及下側板23兩者來進行位置修正。 Based on the calculated position correction amount, the upper side plate 23 is moved in the x, y, and θ directions, thereby correcting the positional deviation of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2. Further, here, an example in which the position correction is performed by moving the upper side plate 23 has been described, but it is also movable. The lower side plate 22 is moved, or both the upper side plate 22 and the lower side plate 23 are moved to perform position correction.

在位置偏離得以修正後,如圖3(B)所示,上側板23朝向下側板22下降,將由上側板23所保持的罩面板S2按壓至由下側板22所支撐的液晶面板S1。形成在液晶面板S1表面的黏合層R1隔著液晶面板S1被按壓至下側板22,並密接於兩面板,由此來貼合兩面板。 After the positional deviation is corrected, as shown in FIG. 3(B), the upper side plate 23 is lowered toward the lower side plate 22, and the cover panel S2 held by the upper side plate 23 is pressed to the liquid crystal panel S1 supported by the lower side plate 22. The adhesive layer R1 formed on the surface of the liquid crystal panel S1 is pressed to the lower side plate 22 via the liquid crystal panel S1, and is adhered to both panels, thereby bonding the two panels.

將貼合時的黏合層誘導部RG的作用示於圖10(A)、圖10(B)。當兩面板貼合時,如圖10(A)所示,形成有弧形曲面的黏合層R1的緣部的四角的一部分接觸至在罩面板S2的內框F的四角形成的黏合層誘導部RG。於是,如圖式的圓圈中的箭頭所示,黏合層誘導部RG成為誘因而黏合層R1的四角延展,並到達與罩面板S2的接觸位置C、即到達內框F的四角。由此,可防止在曲面形狀的黏合層R1的四角與剖視時呈大致直角的罩面板S2的內框F的四角之間產生間隙。即,如圖10(B)所示,完成在印刷框P與黏合層R1之間無間隙的層疊體S10。 The action of the adhesion layer inducing portion RG at the time of bonding is shown in Fig. 10 (A) and Fig. 10 (B). When the two panels are attached, as shown in FIG. 10(A), a part of the four corners of the edge portion of the adhesive layer R1 on which the curved curved surface is formed is in contact with the adhesive layer inducing portion formed at the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2. RG. Then, as indicated by the arrow in the circle of the figure, the adhesive layer inducing portion RG is attracted to the four corners of the adhesive layer R1, and reaches the contact position C with the cover panel S2, that is, the four corners of the inner frame F. Thereby, it is possible to prevent a gap from being generated between the four corners of the curved frame-shaped adhesive layer R1 and the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 which is substantially perpendicular to the cross-sectional view. That is, as shown in FIG. 10(B), the laminated body S10 which has no gap between the printing frame P and the adhesion layer R1 is completed.

當液晶面板S1與罩面板S2的貼合完成時,解除減壓狀 態,腔室21朝上方移動,密閉空間開放。層疊體S10從貼合裝置2中被搬出,並再次由搬送裝置4予以搬送。繼而,由未圖示的拾取部件搬入至固化裝置3。另外,在從貼合裝置2向固化裝置3的搬送過程中,也可將層疊體S10在大氣中放置固定時間。在該放置時間內,層疊體S10受大氣壓按壓而穩定。而且,即使在黏 合層R1中殘留有空隙(void),藉由放置足夠的時間,空隙也能夠減少。 When the bonding of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 is completed, the decompression state is released. In the state, the chamber 21 moves upward and the closed space is opened. The laminated body S10 is carried out from the bonding apparatus 2, and is conveyed again by the conveying apparatus 4. Then, it is carried in the curing device 3 by a pick-up member (not shown). Further, in the transfer process from the bonding apparatus 2 to the curing apparatus 3, the laminated body S10 may be left in the air for a fixed period of time. During this standing time, the laminated body S10 is pressed by the atmospheric pressure and stabilized. And even if it's sticky A void remains in the layer R1, and by allowing sufficient time for the void to be reduced.

[固化處理] [Curing treatment]

在固化裝置3中,如圖4(A)、圖4(B)所示,層疊體S10被載置於載置台31,藉由照射單元33來照射黏合層R1固化所需強度的紫外線,黏合層R1的正式固化完成。 In the curing apparatus 3, as shown in FIG. 4(A) and FIG. 4(B), the laminated body S10 is placed on the mounting table 31, and the irradiation unit 33 irradiates the adhesive layer R1 to cure ultraviolet rays of the required strength, and is bonded. The formal curing of layer R1 is completed.

[效果] [effect]

(1)本實施方式的顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置100將包含構成顯示裝置的液晶面板S1及罩面板S2的一對工件經由黏合劑R予以貼合,所述顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置100包括:黏合劑塗布裝置1,將黏合劑R塗布於液晶面板S1上而形成黏合層R1;黏合層誘導部形成裝置6,在液晶面板S1上形成黏合層誘導部;以及貼合裝置2,使形成於液晶面板S1上的黏合層R1接觸至罩面板S2,從而將一對工件予以貼合,黏合層誘導部RG在貼合裝置2中將黏合層R1的緣部的至少一部分誘導至與罩面板S2接觸的接觸位置C。 (1) In the manufacturing apparatus 100 for a display device member of the present embodiment, a pair of workpieces including the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 constituting the display device are bonded together via a binder R, and the manufacturing device 100 for the display device member The adhesive coating device 1 includes an adhesive R applied to the liquid crystal panel S1 to form an adhesive layer R1, an adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6, an adhesive layer inducing portion formed on the liquid crystal panel S1, and a bonding device 2 The adhesive layer R1 formed on the liquid crystal panel S1 contacts the cover panel S2 to bond a pair of workpieces, and the adhesive layer inducing portion RG induces at least a portion of the edge of the adhesive layer R1 to the cover in the bonding device 2. Contact position C where panel S2 contacts.

黏合層R1的緣部因表面張力的作用而成為曲面形狀,因此在貼合時不會到達與罩面板S2的接觸位置C,從而有可能在緣部與罩面板S2之間產生間隙,但藉由形成黏合層誘導部RG以將該緣部誘導至與罩面板S2的接觸位置C,從而能夠防止間隙的產生。由此,能夠製造外觀良好的顯示裝置用構件L,製品的成品率也能夠提高。而且,藉由形成黏合層誘導部RG,在黏合劑塗布 裝置1中的黏合劑R的塗布時,無須嚴格地控制黏合層R1的緣部的形狀。由此,可適用多種種類的黏合劑或面板,可降低黏合劑的塗布環境變動的影響,簡化維護或規定條件等。因此,顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置的適用範圍廣,生產性也能夠提高。 Since the edge of the adhesive layer R1 has a curved surface shape due to the action of the surface tension, it does not reach the contact position C with the cover panel S2 at the time of bonding, and there is a possibility that a gap is formed between the edge portion and the cover panel S2. By forming the adhesion layer inducing portion RG to induce the edge portion to the contact position C with the cover panel S2, generation of a gap can be prevented. Thereby, the member L for display devices having a good appearance can be manufactured, and the yield of the product can also be improved. Moreover, by forming an adhesive layer inducing portion RG, coating the adhesive When the adhesive R in the apparatus 1 is applied, it is not necessary to strictly control the shape of the edge of the adhesive layer R1. Therefore, various types of adhesives or panels can be applied, and the influence of variations in the coating environment of the adhesive can be reduced, and maintenance or predetermined conditions can be simplified. Therefore, the manufacturing apparatus of the member for display devices has a wide range of application, and productivity can also be improved.

(2)具體而言,在罩面板S2上,形成有多邊形狀即矩 形的內框F。黏合劑塗布裝置1在液晶面板S1上形成與內框為相似形狀及大致相同大小的黏合層R1。在貼合裝置2中,以黏合層R1進入內框F內的方式來貼合液晶面板S1與罩面板S2。黏合層誘導部形成裝置6在罩面板S2的內框F的緣部的至少一部分形成黏合層誘導部RG。黏合層誘導部RG在貼合時,誘導黏合層R1的緣部的至少一部分到達內框F的緣部。 (2) Specifically, a polygonal shape, that is, a moment is formed on the cover panel S2 The inner frame F of the shape. The adhesive application device 1 forms an adhesive layer R1 having a shape similar to that of the inner frame and substantially the same size on the liquid crystal panel S1. In the bonding apparatus 2, the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are bonded so that the adhesion layer R1 may enter the inner frame F. The adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 forms an adhesive layer inducing portion RG on at least a part of the edge portion of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2. At the time of bonding, the adhesion layer inducing portion RG induces at least a part of the edge portion of the adhesion layer R1 to reach the edge portion of the inner frame F.

如此,在與形成有內框F的罩面板S2的貼合時,黏合層 誘導部RG誘導黏合層R1的緣部到達罩面板S2的內框F的緣部,由此能夠防止在與內框F之間形成能夠看到的間隙,從而能夠製作外觀良好的顯示裝置用構件L。 Thus, when bonding with the cover panel S2 in which the inner frame F is formed, the adhesive layer When the edge portion of the inducing portion RG-inducing bonding layer R1 reaches the edge portion of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2, it is possible to prevent a visible gap from being formed between the inner frame F and the inner frame F, and it is possible to manufacture a member for a display device having a good appearance. L.

(3)更具體而言,罩面板S2的矩形的內框F的各角為 大致直角。尤其,由於加大了顯示區域,因此設置在四角的弧形曲面也幾乎全部消失。而且,塗布成矩形的黏合層R1的緣部的各角在塗布後呈曲面形狀。 (3) More specifically, the corners of the rectangular inner frame F of the cover panel S2 are Roughly right angle. In particular, since the display area is enlarged, almost all of the curved curved surfaces provided at the four corners disappear. Further, each corner of the edge portion of the adhesive layer R1 coated in a rectangular shape has a curved shape after coating.

在黏合層R1的緣部中,表面張力發揮大的作用的四角形 成更大的曲面,因此罩面板S2與黏合劑的間隙超過允許範圍的可能性也大。因此,即使在黏合劑R的塗布時或者塗布之後不久黏 合層R1的緣部形成為允許範圍內的曲面,四角也有可能成為允許範圍外。因此,對於黏合層R1的緣部的尤其是四角,進行黏合層誘導部RG的形成,由此可防止黏合層R1的四角成為允許範圍外。即,即使不將壓印用黏合劑R10塗布至黏合層R1的整個緣部,也能夠製造因間隙造成的外觀不良或因剝離造成的破損降低的高品質的顯示裝置用構件L。進而,由於也可不將壓印用黏合劑R10塗布至黏合層R1的整個緣部,因此能夠縮短黏合層誘導部RG的形成時間,黏合層誘導部形成裝置6也能夠採用簡單的結構。 In the edge of the adhesive layer R1, the surface tension plays a large role in the quadrilateral shape In the case of a larger curved surface, the possibility that the gap between the cover panel S2 and the adhesive exceeds the allowable range is also large. Therefore, it is sticky even when the adhesive R is applied or shortly after coating. The edge of the layered layer R1 is formed as a curved surface within the allowable range, and the four corners may also be outside the allowable range. Therefore, the formation of the adhesion layer inducing portion RG is performed particularly at the four corners of the edge portion of the adhesive layer R1, whereby the four corners of the adhesive layer R1 can be prevented from being outside the allowable range. In other words, even if the embossing adhesive R10 is not applied to the entire edge portion of the adhesive layer R1, it is possible to manufacture a high-quality display device member L which is defective in appearance due to the gap or reduced in damage due to peeling. Further, since the imprinting adhesive R10 is not applied to the entire edge portion of the adhesive layer R1, the formation time of the adhesive layer inducing portion RG can be shortened, and the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 can have a simple configuration.

(4)顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置100更包括對液晶面板 S1及罩面板S2進行攝像的攝像裝置5。黏合層誘導部形成裝置6也可基於攝像裝置5所拍攝的液晶面板S1及罩面板S2的圖像來對罩面板S2形成黏合層誘導部RG。由此,能夠在準確的位置形成黏合層誘導部RG。 (4) The manufacturing apparatus 100 for a member for a display device further includes a pair of liquid crystal panels The imaging device 5 that performs imaging by S1 and the cover panel S2. The adhesion layer inducing portion forming device 6 may form the adhesion layer inducing portion RG on the cover panel S2 based on the images of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 captured by the imaging device 5. Thereby, the adhesion layer inducing portion RG can be formed at an accurate position.

(5)顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置100更包括搬送裝置 4,該搬送裝置4在黏合劑塗布裝置1與貼合裝置2之間搬送液晶面板S1及罩面板S2,攝像裝置5及黏合層誘導部形成裝置6是鄰接於該搬送裝置4而設置。貼合裝置2基於攝像裝置5所拍攝的液晶面板S1及罩面板S2的圖像來進行液晶面板S1及罩面板S2的對位。即,由攝像裝置5所拍攝的圖像不僅用於決定黏合層誘導部的形成位置,也用於貼合時的對位。即,無須針對各個處理設置多個攝像裝置5,能夠提高製造效率,也能夠實現零件個數的降低。 (5) The manufacturing apparatus 100 for a member for a display device further includes a conveying device 4. The conveyance device 4 conveys the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 between the adhesive application device 1 and the bonding device 2, and the imaging device 5 and the adhesion layer induction portion forming device 6 are provided adjacent to the transfer device 4. The bonding apparatus 2 performs alignment of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 based on the images of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 imaged by the imaging device 5. In other words, the image captured by the imaging device 5 is used not only for determining the formation position of the adhesion layer inducing portion but also for the alignment at the time of bonding. In other words, it is not necessary to provide a plurality of imaging devices 5 for each process, and it is possible to improve the manufacturing efficiency and to reduce the number of components.

(6)黏合層誘導部RG可由親黏合劑性材料所形成。藉由由與黏合劑的親和性高的親黏合劑性材料來形成黏合層誘導部RG,從而能夠順利(smooth)地誘導黏合層。 (6) The adhesive layer inducing portion RG may be formed of a binding adhesive material. The adhesive layer inducing portion RG is formed by an adhesive material having high affinity with the binder, so that the adhesive layer can be smoothly induced.

(7)對於親黏合性材料,也可使用黏度比形成黏合層R1的黏合劑R低的黏合劑R10。形成黏合層誘導部RG的黏合劑R10只要發揮作為誘因的作用即可,由於無須如形成黏合層R1的黏合劑R般塗布得較厚,因此無須擔心黏合層R1的潰散。因此,藉由使用黏度比黏合劑R低的黏合劑,從而處理變得容易,能夠簡化誘導部形成部件,從而能夠降低裝置成本。 (7) For the adhesive material, the adhesive R10 having a lower viscosity than the adhesive R forming the adhesive layer R1 may be used. The adhesive R10 forming the adhesive layer inducing portion RG may function as a cause, and since it is not required to be applied as thick as the adhesive R of the adhesive layer R1, there is no need to worry about the collapse of the adhesive layer R1. Therefore, by using a binder having a lower viscosity than the binder R, the handling becomes easy, and the induction portion forming member can be simplified, and the device cost can be reduced.

(8)黏合層誘導部形成裝置6可具備將黏合劑R10按壓而轉印至塗布面的壓印式噴嘴。由此,可按所需的大小來薄薄地塗布黏合劑R10,能夠形成與罩面板S2的形狀一致的黏合層誘導部RG。 (8) The adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 may include an imprint nozzle that presses the adhesive R10 and transfers it to the coated surface. Thereby, the adhesive R10 can be thinly applied to a desired size, and the adhesive layer inducing portion RG conforming to the shape of the cover panel S2 can be formed.

[第2實施方式] [Second Embodiment] [結構] [structure]

接下來,參照圖11來說明第2實施方式。另外,以下的實施方式中,對於與第1實施方式的結構要素相同的結構要素,標注相同的標號並省略詳細說明。 Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 11 . In the following embodiments, the same components as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the detailed description is omitted.

第1實施方式中,黏合層誘導部形成裝置6被設置在搬送裝置4中,但第2實施方式中,對黏合層誘導部形成裝置6被設置在黏合劑塗布裝置1前段的形態進行說明。 In the first embodiment, the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 is provided in the conveying device 4. However, in the second embodiment, the configuration in which the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 is provided in the front stage of the adhesive applying device 1 will be described.

而且,第2實施方式中,如圖11所示,黏合劑塗布裝置 1具備對所塗布的黏合劑進行暫時固化處理的照射單元13。照射單元13在載台的移動方向上設置在塗布單元的下游側。 Further, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the adhesive application device 1 is provided with an irradiation unit 13 that temporarily cures the applied adhesive. The irradiation unit 13 is disposed on the downstream side of the coating unit in the moving direction of the stage.

照射單元13是對黏合劑R照射用於暫時固化的能量的處理部。暫時固化是指:儘管黏合劑R的大部分凝膠化,但未完全固化的狀態。所照射的能量的種類可根據所使用的黏合劑R的種類,而從紫外線、紅外線、電磁波、放射線等中適當選擇。另外,作為藉由暫時固化來抑制流動的必要性高的黏合劑的黏度,估計為兩千cps(centipoises)~數萬cps,較佳為黏度相對較低的兩千cps~五千cps。 The irradiation unit 13 is a treatment unit that irradiates the adhesive R with energy for temporary curing. Temporary curing refers to a state in which the majority of the binder R is gelled but not fully cured. The type of energy to be irradiated can be appropriately selected from ultraviolet rays, infrared rays, electromagnetic waves, radiation, and the like depending on the type of the binder R to be used. Further, the viscosity of the adhesive which is highly necessary for suppressing the flow by temporary curing is estimated to be two thousand cps (centipoises) to tens of thousands of cps, preferably two thousand cps to five thousand cps having a relatively low viscosity.

本實施方式中,對於黏合劑R使用UV固化樹脂,因此照射單元13具有能夠發出紫外線(UV)的一個或多個LED或鐳射二極體(Laser Diode,LD)、燈等照射源。照射單元13是在載台11a上方以鄰接於塗布單元12的方式而配置,照射源是以與載置於載台11a上的液晶面板S1相向的方式而安裝。由此,伴隨載台11a的移動,能夠對塗布有黏合劑R的液晶面板S1連續地進行能量照射。 In the present embodiment, since the UV curable resin is used for the binder R, the irradiation unit 13 has one or a plurality of LEDs, laser diodes (LDs), lamps, and the like that can emit ultraviolet rays (UV). The irradiation unit 13 is disposed above the stage 11a so as to be adjacent to the coating unit 12, and the irradiation source is attached so as to face the liquid crystal panel S1 placed on the stage 11a. Thereby, with the movement of the stage 11a, the liquid crystal panel S1 to which the adhesive R is applied can be continuously irradiated with energy.

黏合層誘導部形成裝置6被設置在支撐單元11上方的照射單元13的下游側。黏合層誘導部形成裝置6具備收容壓印用黏合劑R10的儲槽T10與分注器62。分注器62是與第1實施方式同樣地使用壓印式噴嘴。第2實施方式中,分注器62如圖12(A)所示,採用在沿著液晶面板S1的橫剖方向延伸的支撐部上設置有2個噴嘴的結構。2個噴嘴是空開與液晶面板S1的橫剖方向的寬 度大致相同長度的間隔而設置,當液晶面板S1位於黏合層誘導部形成裝置6之下時,各個噴嘴位於液晶面板S1的沿著橫剖方向的邊上。 The adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 is disposed on the downstream side of the irradiation unit 13 above the support unit 11. The adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 includes a reservoir T10 in which the imprinting adhesive R10 is housed, and a dispenser 62. The dispenser 62 uses an imprint nozzle similarly to the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12(A), the dispenser 62 has a configuration in which two nozzles are provided on a support portion extending in the transverse direction of the liquid crystal panel S1. The two nozzles are wide open and the width of the liquid crystal panel S1 in the cross-sectional direction When the liquid crystal panel S1 is positioned below the adhesion layer inducing portion forming device 6, the respective nozzles are located on the side of the liquid crystal panel S1 in the cross-sectional direction.

黏合層誘導部形成裝置6連結於未圖示的驅動裝置,至少可沿上下方向移動。另外,也可將黏合層誘導部形成裝置6固定,而使支撐單元11的載台11a可沿上下方向移動。 The adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 is connected to a driving device (not shown) and is movable at least in the vertical direction. Further, the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 may be fixed, and the stage 11a of the support unit 11 may be moved in the vertical direction.

[作用] [effect]

第2實施方式中,黏合層誘導部形成處理是在黏合劑塗布處理之前對液晶面板S1進行。即,在液晶面板S1上形成黏合層R1之前,預先對液晶面板S1形成黏合層誘導部RG。黏合層誘導部RG形成在液晶面板S1的與接觸位置C(參照圖10(A)及圖20(A))對應的位置。具體而言,黏合層誘導部RG形成於在貼合時與罩面板S2的內框F的四角相向的液晶面板S1的位置。如上所述,液晶面板S1比罩面板的內框F稍大,因此較液晶面板S1的外緣的四角而形成在稍稍內側。由此,在黏合層誘導部形成處理後形成的黏合層R1的四角受黏合層誘導部RG誘導而到達接觸位置C為止。以下說明第2實施方式的黏合層誘導部形成處理的具體動作。 In the second embodiment, the adhesion layer inducing portion forming treatment is performed on the liquid crystal panel S1 before the binder coating treatment. In other words, before the adhesion layer R1 is formed on the liquid crystal panel S1, the adhesion layer inducing portion RG is formed in advance on the liquid crystal panel S1. The adhesion layer inducing portion RG is formed at a position corresponding to the contact position C (see FIGS. 10(A) and 20(A)) of the liquid crystal panel S1. Specifically, the adhesion layer inducing portion RG is formed at a position of the liquid crystal panel S1 that faces the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 at the time of bonding. As described above, the liquid crystal panel S1 is slightly larger than the inner frame F of the cover panel, and thus is formed slightly inside from the four corners of the outer edge of the liquid crystal panel S1. Thereby, the four corners of the adhesive layer R1 formed after the adhesion layer inducing portion forming treatment are induced by the adhesion layer inducing portion RG to reach the contact position C. The specific operation of the adhesion layer inducing portion forming process of the second embodiment will be described below.

支撐單元11的載台11a移動,在液晶面板S1的下游側的端部到達黏合層誘導部形成裝置6之下時停止。 The stage 11a of the support unit 11 moves, and stops when the end portion on the downstream side of the liquid crystal panel S1 reaches below the adhesion layer induction portion forming device 6.

黏合層誘導部形成裝置6朝下方向移動,如圖12(A)所示,將2個噴嘴的前端按壓至液晶面板S1上的黏合位置。因此, 從噴嘴前端噴出壓印用黏合劑R10而轉印至液晶面板S1上,形成黏合層誘導部RG。繼而,使黏合層誘導部形成裝置6暫時朝上方向退避,使載台11a再次朝下游方向移動,在液晶面板S1的上游側的端部到達黏合層誘導部形成裝置6之下時使載台11a再次停止。黏合層誘導部形成裝置6朝下方向移動,黏合層誘導部形成裝置6從2個噴嘴噴出壓印用黏合劑R10而轉印至液晶面板S1上,形成黏合層誘導部RG。由此,如圖12(B)及圖12(C)所示,在液晶面板S1的四角附近、即在貼合時與罩面板S2的內框F的四角相向的位置形成黏合層誘導部RG。 The adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 is moved downward, and as shown in Fig. 12(A), the tips of the two nozzles are pressed to the bonding position on the liquid crystal panel S1. therefore, The imprinting adhesive R10 is ejected from the tip end of the nozzle and transferred onto the liquid crystal panel S1 to form an adhesion layer inducing portion RG. Then, the adhesion layer inducing portion forming device 6 is temporarily retracted in the upward direction, and the stage 11a is moved again in the downstream direction, and the stage is placed when the end portion on the upstream side of the liquid crystal panel S1 reaches the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6. 11a stops again. The adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 is moved downward, and the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 ejects the imprinting adhesive R10 from the two nozzles and transfers the ink to the liquid crystal panel S1 to form the adhesive layer inducing portion RG. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12(B) and FIG. 12(C), the adhesion layer inducing portion RG is formed in the vicinity of the four corners of the liquid crystal panel S1, that is, at the position facing the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 at the time of bonding. .

所述載台11a的移動量及停止位置、黏合層誘導部形成 裝置6的上下方向的移動量可根據液晶面板S1的尺寸等而預先決定,並可預先保存在控制裝置7的儲存部中。 The amount of movement and the stop position of the stage 11a, and the formation of the adhesion layer induction portion The amount of movement of the apparatus 6 in the vertical direction can be determined in advance according to the size of the liquid crystal panel S1 or the like, and can be stored in advance in the storage unit of the control device 7.

形成有黏合層誘導部RG的液晶面板S1通超載台11a的 進一步的移動而移動到塗布單元12之下,在形成有黏合層誘導部RG的液晶面板S1的整個面上塗布黏合劑R,形成黏合層R1。如圖13(A)及圖14(A)所示,黏合層R1的緣部成為一部分跑到黏合層誘導部RG之上的形態。如圖中箭頭所示,藉由黏合層R1接觸至黏合層誘導部RG,從而被誘導至黏合層誘導部RG側,並如圖13(B)及圖14(B)所示,流動到黏合層誘導部RG的外緣為止。即,黏合層R1在貼合時被黏合層誘導部RG誘導至與罩面板S2的內框F的四角接觸的位置為止。 The liquid crystal panel S1 having the adhesion layer inducing portion RG formed is connected to the overload stage 11a. Further moving, moving to the lower side of the coating unit 12, the adhesive R is applied to the entire surface of the liquid crystal panel S1 on which the adhesive layer inducing portion RG is formed to form the adhesive layer R1. As shown in FIG. 13(A) and FIG. 14(A), the edge portion of the adhesive layer R1 partially enters the adhesion layer inducing portion RG. As shown by the arrow in the figure, the adhesive layer R1 contacts the adhesion layer inducing portion RG, thereby being induced to the adhesive layer inducing portion RG side, and flows to the bonding as shown in Figs. 13(B) and 14(B). The outer edge of the layer inducing portion RG. In other words, the adhesion layer R1 is induced by the adhesion layer inducing portion RG to a position in contact with the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 at the time of bonding.

另外,圖14(B)中,為了便於理解,將黏合層R1與黏 合層誘導部RG分離而顯示,但實際上,在黏合層R1被黏合層誘導部RG誘導之後,黏合層R1與黏合層誘導部RG一體化。 In addition, in Fig. 14(B), for the sake of understanding, the adhesive layer R1 and the adhesive layer are adhered. The layered inducing portion RG is separated and displayed. However, in actuality, after the adhesion layer R1 is induced by the adhesion layer inducing portion RG, the adhesion layer R1 and the adhesion layer inducing portion RG are integrated.

載台11a進一步繼續移動,當黏合層R1的始端位於照射 單元13的下方時,照射單元13開始能量的照射。載台11a繼續移動,當黏合層R1的末端通過了照射單元13時,照射單元13結束照射。黏合層R1成為暫時固化的狀態,黏合層R1成為流動受到抑制的狀態。藉由在利用黏合層誘導部RG來誘導黏合層R1之後不久進行暫時固化,從而能夠減輕表面張力再次作用於黏合層R1的緣部而曲面狀態變大的現象。此時,可對由照射單元13所照射的總能量進行調整,以調整黏合劑R的固化率。或者,可對由照射單元13照射能量的部分的環境氣體的成分進行調整,以調整黏合劑R的固化率。此時,也可設置下述機構,該機構覆蓋位於照射單元13下方的黏合層R1的周圍,能夠進行內部的環境調整。黏合劑R的固化率成為80%左右以下,尤其可進行暫時固化至黏合層R1的表面仍保留流動性的程度。這樣,即使在暫時固化後進行貼合,借助黏合層誘導部RG,黏合層R1也能夠流動以到達罩面板S2的四角。 The stage 11a further moves further, when the beginning of the adhesive layer R1 is located When the unit 13 is below, the irradiation unit 13 starts irradiation of energy. The stage 11a continues to move, and when the end of the adhesive layer R1 passes through the irradiation unit 13, the irradiation unit 13 ends the irradiation. The adhesive layer R1 is temporarily cured, and the adhesive layer R1 is in a state in which the flow is suppressed. By temporarily curing the adhesion layer R1 after the adhesion layer RG is induced by the adhesion layer inducing portion RG, it is possible to reduce the phenomenon that the surface tension is again applied to the edge portion of the adhesion layer R1 and the curved surface state is increased. At this time, the total energy irradiated by the irradiation unit 13 can be adjusted to adjust the curing rate of the binder R. Alternatively, the composition of the ambient gas of the portion irradiated with energy by the irradiation unit 13 may be adjusted to adjust the curing rate of the binder R. At this time, a mechanism may be provided which covers the periphery of the adhesive layer R1 located under the irradiation unit 13, and the internal environment adjustment can be performed. The curing rate of the binder R is about 80% or less, and in particular, it can be temporarily cured to the extent that the surface of the adhesive layer R1 retains fluidity. Thus, even if the bonding is performed after the temporary curing, the adhesive layer R1 can flow to reach the four corners of the cover panel S2 by the adhesive layer inducing portion RG.

在貼合裝置2中,與第1實施方式同樣地,貼合液晶面 板S1與罩面板S2。如圖13(C)所示,借助黏合層誘導部RG,黏合層R1的四角被誘導至與罩面板S2的內框F的四角的接觸位置為止,因此可防止與罩面板S2的內框F的四角之間的間隙的產生。 In the bonding apparatus 2, the liquid crystal surface is bonded in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Plate S1 and cover panel S2. As shown in FIG. 13(C), the four corners of the adhesive layer R1 are induced to the contact positions with the four corners of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 by the adhesive layer inducing portion RG, so that the inner frame F with the cover panel S2 can be prevented. The creation of a gap between the four corners.

另外,此處對使黏合層誘導部形成裝置6包含2個噴嘴的例子進行了說明,但也可包含分別配置在與液晶面板的四角的接觸位置對應的位置處的4個噴嘴。由此,可一次進行針對四角的黏合層誘導部形成處理,因此製造時間將縮短。 In the above description, the example in which the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 includes two nozzles has been described. However, four nozzles respectively disposed at positions corresponding to the contact positions of the four corners of the liquid crystal panel may be included. Thereby, the adhesion layer inducing portion forming treatment for the four corners can be performed at one time, and thus the manufacturing time is shortened.

[效果] [effect]

(1)第2實施方式中,黏合層誘導部形成裝置6被設置在黏合劑塗布裝置1的前段,在黏合層R1的形成前,在液晶面板S1上形成黏合層誘導部RG。由此,與第1實施方式同樣地,可將黏合層R1的緣部誘導至與罩面板S2的接觸位置為止,可防止間隙的產生。由此,可製造外觀良好的顯示裝置用構件L,製品的成品率也能夠提高。 (1) In the second embodiment, the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 is provided in the front stage of the adhesive applying device 1, and the adhesive layer inducing portion RG is formed on the liquid crystal panel S1 before the formation of the adhesive layer R1. Thereby, similarly to the first embodiment, the edge portion of the adhesive layer R1 can be induced to the contact position with the cover panel S2, and the occurrence of the gap can be prevented. Thereby, the member L for display devices having a good appearance can be manufactured, and the yield of the product can also be improved.

(2)而且,藉由設置借由對黏合劑塗布裝置1的後段照射能量而使黏合劑暫時固化的照射單元13,從而可使由黏合層誘導部RG誘導至接觸位置C的黏合層R1暫時固化,並保持該形狀直至貼合為止。另外,暫時固化處理並非必需,也可考慮黏合劑R的黏度等而適當省略。尤其,本實施方式中,在形成有黏合層R1的液晶面板S1側設置有黏合層誘導部RG,因此該黏合層誘導部RG自身成為抑制黏合層R1流動的阻擋部,至少可抑制黏合層R1與罩面板S2的接觸面流動而蔓延。 (2) Further, by providing the irradiation unit 13 which temporarily cures the adhesive by irradiating energy to the rear portion of the adhesive coating device 1, the adhesive layer R1 induced by the adhesive layer inducing portion RG to the contact position C can be temporarily made. Curing and maintaining the shape until it fits. Further, the temporary curing treatment is not essential, and may be appropriately omitted in consideration of the viscosity of the adhesive R or the like. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the adhesion layer inducing portion RG is provided on the liquid crystal panel S1 side where the adhesion layer R1 is formed, the adhesion layer inducing portion RG itself serves as a stopper for suppressing the flow of the adhesion layer R1, and at least the adhesion layer R1 can be suppressed. The contact surface with the cover panel S2 flows and spreads.

[其他實施方式] [Other embodiments]

(1)所述實施方式中,在黏合層誘導部RG的形成時使用了壓印式噴嘴,但並不限於此,例如可使用其他轉印裝置或者 能夠塗布微小液滴的噴射噴嘴(jet nozzle)或針形噴嘴(needle nozzle)。在具備多個能夠塗布微小液滴的噴射噴嘴的情況下,可如噴墨列印(inkjet print)般,根據想要塗布的形狀來形成塗布圖案(pattern)。作為其他轉印裝置,可使用如下所述者,即,將轉印夾具浸漬於黏合劑槽中並按壓至塗布面,從而進行轉印。噴嘴或轉印夾具的形狀也可適當變更,以便能夠根據面板的形狀來形成必要形狀的黏合層誘導部RG。例如,所述實施方式中,以罩面板S2的內框F為矩形形狀且四角為圓角,且剖視時呈直角者為例進行了說明,但並不限於此。例如也可使用四角不為圓角者,即水平觀察呈大致直角者。或者,也可使用剖視時並非呈大致直角,而是例如弧形曲面形狀等各種形狀者。相對於如此之各種內框F的形狀,靈活地變更塗布圖案來形成黏合層誘導部RG,由此可應對各種製品,從而可提供便利性高的裝置。 (1) In the above embodiment, the imprint nozzle is used in the formation of the adhesion layer inducing portion RG, but the invention is not limited thereto, and for example, another transfer device or A jet nozzle or a needle nozzle capable of applying minute droplets. In the case where a plurality of ejection nozzles capable of applying minute droplets are provided, a coating pattern can be formed according to a shape to be applied, such as inkjet printing. As another transfer device, a transfer jig may be used by immersing the transfer jig in an adhesive groove and pressing it to the coated surface to perform transfer. The shape of the nozzle or the transfer jig can be appropriately changed so that the adhesive layer inducing portion RG having a necessary shape can be formed in accordance with the shape of the panel. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 has a rectangular shape and the four corners are rounded, and the angle is a right angle in the cross-sectional view. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, it is also possible to use those whose corners are not rounded, that is, those which are substantially right angled when viewed horizontally. Alternatively, various shapes such as a curved curved shape may be used instead of a substantially right angle in the cross-sectional view. By changing the coating pattern flexibly to form the adhesive layer inducing portion RG with respect to the shape of the various inner frames F, it is possible to cope with various products, and it is possible to provide a highly convenient device.

(2)而且,形成黏合層誘導部RG的材料並不限於黏合 劑,只要是具有親黏合劑性的材料便可使用。包含黏合劑的親黏合劑性材料的塗布厚度可為數μm左右。為了減少對黏合層R1厚度的影響,黏合層誘導部RG可較薄。例如,在黏合層R1的厚度為數十μm~數百μm的厚度的情況下,可設為黏合層R1的厚度的1/2以下程度或1/5以下程度的厚度。 (2) Further, the material forming the adhesion layer inducing portion RG is not limited to bonding The agent can be used as long as it is a material having a binding property. The adhesive thickness of the adhesive material containing the binder may be about several μm. In order to reduce the influence on the thickness of the adhesive layer R1, the adhesion layer inducing portion RG may be thin. For example, when the thickness of the adhesive layer R1 is a thickness of several tens of μm to several hundreds of micrometers, it can be set to a thickness of about 1/2 or less or 1/5 or less of the thickness of the adhesive layer R1.

(3)黏合層誘導部RG只要可將黏合層R1誘導至所需 位置即可,並不限於由親黏合劑性材料所形成者。例如,也可藉由改變面板表面的粗糙度來形成黏合層誘導部。「改變粗糙度」不 僅包括增大粗糙度,也包括減小粗糙度以使表面變得更光滑。在增大粗糙度的情況下,作為黏合層誘導部形成裝置6,可代替分注器61或分注器62,而具備例如噴砂(sand blast)、化學蝕刻(chemical etching)、等離子體蝕刻(plasma etching)、鐳射剝離(laser ablation)等對面板表面賦予粗糙度的部件。對面板表面賦予有粗糙度的部分成為黏合層誘導部RG,使黏合層R1的四角流動至與罩面板S2的內框F的接觸位置為止。 (3) The adhesion layer inducing portion RG can induce the adhesion layer R1 to the required The position is not limited to those formed by the adhesive material. For example, the adhesion layer inducing portion can also be formed by changing the roughness of the surface of the panel. "Change roughness" is not It only includes increasing the roughness, but also reducing the roughness to make the surface smoother. When the roughness is increased, the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 may be provided with, for example, sand blast, chemical etching, or plasma etching instead of the dispenser 61 or the dispenser 62. Plasma etching, laser ablation, etc., which impart roughness to the surface of the panel. The portion to which the surface of the panel is roughened is the adhesive layer inducing portion RG, and the four corners of the adhesive layer R1 are caused to flow to the contact position with the inner frame F of the cover panel S2.

而且,也可藉由對黏合層誘導部實施等離子體處理等,從而對表面進行改性以促進黏合劑的流動。例如,也可藉由改變面板表面的活性狀態來形成黏合層誘導部。例如,藉由對面板表面進行羥(OH)基末端化,可改變面板表面的活性狀態,獲得新黏合劑性。當使用以二氧化矽作為原料的玻璃來作為面板時,藉由進行氧化處理,可設為羥基(OH基)末端狀態。作為氧化處理,可使用氧化等離子體處理或藥液處理。 Further, the surface of the adhesion layer inducing portion may be subjected to plasma treatment or the like to modify the surface to promote the flow of the binder. For example, the adhesion layer inducing portion can also be formed by changing the active state of the panel surface. For example, by performing a hydroxyl (OH) group terminalization on the surface of the panel, the active state of the panel surface can be changed to obtain a new adhesive property. When a glass using ceria as a raw material is used as a panel, it can be set to a hydroxyl group (OH group) terminal state by oxidation treatment. As the oxidation treatment, an oxidative plasma treatment or a chemical treatment can be used.

或者,也可在黏合劑塗布裝置1中將黏合劑R塗布至液晶面板S1,利用照射單元13來暫時固化後,以規定的力來按壓四角的部分。受到按壓的部分成為黏合層誘導部RG,使黏合層R1的四角流動至與罩面板S2的內框F的接觸位置為止。在按壓時,例如可使用如下所述的部件來進行,即,在與液晶面板S1為相同大小的矩形的板上,僅四角的部分稍微朝下方突出的部件。 Alternatively, the adhesive R may be applied to the liquid crystal panel S1 in the adhesive application device 1 and temporarily cured by the irradiation unit 13, and then the four corner portions may be pressed with a predetermined force. The pressed portion becomes the adhesive layer inducing portion RG, and the four corners of the adhesive layer R1 flow to the contact position with the inner frame F of the cover panel S2. At the time of pressing, for example, it is possible to use a member which is a member having a rectangular shape of the same size as the liquid crystal panel S1, and only a portion of the four corners protrudes slightly downward.

(4)所述實施方式中,對具備輸送機40來作為搬送液晶面板S1及罩面板S2的搬送部的搬送裝置4的例子進行了說 明,但並不限於此。搬送部例如也可如圖15所示採用下述部件,該部件可在軌道42上行走地配置有保持部件41,該保持部件41具備上下平行地配置的兩條臂(arm)41a、臂41b。 (4) In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the conveyor 40 is provided as the transport unit 4 that transports the transport units of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 has been described. Ming, but not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the transport unit may be provided with a holding member 41 that is provided with two arms (arm) 41a and arms 41b arranged in parallel on the rail 42 so as to be movable on the rail 42. .

液晶面板S1及罩面板S2被分別保持於兩條臂41a、臂41b,且以相向的形態而在軌道上受到搬送。攝像裝置5及黏合層誘導部形成裝置6以位於軌道上的兩條臂41a、臂41b之間的方式而配置。此時,攝像裝置5例如可採用在上下兩側具備照相機者。由此,可同時拍攝上下的面板。 The liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are held by the two arms 41a and 41b, respectively, and are conveyed on the rail in a facing manner. The imaging device 5 and the adhesion layer inducing portion forming device 6 are disposed so as to be positioned between the two arms 41a and 41b on the rail. At this time, the imaging device 5 can be, for example, a camera provided on the upper and lower sides. Thereby, the upper and lower panels can be simultaneously photographed.

(5)所述實施方式中,對黏合層R1的緣部的四角進行了黏合層誘導部RG的形成,但並不僅限於四角,也可形成在緣部的其他部分,或者如圖16(A)、圖16(B)所示般形成在整個緣部。在此情況下,黏合層誘導部形成裝置6可採用與所述實施方式同樣的結構,但也可使用能夠連續塗布少量黏合劑的多噴嘴(multi-nozzle)或針形噴嘴。而且,例如也可視部位來調整塗布量,例如在弧形曲面較大的黏合層R1的四角增多壓印用黏合劑R10的塗布量,而在其他的直線部分減少塗布量等。而且,黏合層誘導部RG的形成也可在將液晶面板S1搬入顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置100之前,預先利用其他工序來進行。 (5) In the above embodiment, the adhesion layer inducing portion RG is formed at the four corners of the edge portion of the adhesive layer R1, but it is not limited to the four corners, and may be formed in other portions of the edge portion, or as shown in Fig. 16 (A). ) is formed on the entire edge as shown in Fig. 16(B). In this case, the adhesive layer inducing portion forming device 6 may have the same configuration as that of the above embodiment, but a multi-nozzle or a needle nozzle capable of continuously applying a small amount of a binder may be used. Further, for example, the coating amount can be adjusted depending on the portion. For example, the coating amount of the imprinting adhesive R10 is increased at the four corners of the adhesive layer R1 having a large curved curved surface, and the coating amount or the like is reduced in the other straight portions. Further, the formation of the adhesion layer inducing portion RG may be performed in advance by another process before the liquid crystal panel S1 is carried into the manufacturing apparatus 100 for the display device member.

(6)顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置100也可在黏合劑塗布裝置1、貼合裝置2及固化裝置3的前後或其間具備進行其他工序的裝置。例如也可具備對完成的液晶顯示面板進行捆包的捆紮(taping)單元等。而且,在根據黏合劑的種類而無需固化處理的 情況或利用獨立的裝置來進行固化處理的情況等下,也可採用無固化裝置3的顯示裝置用構件的製造裝置100。 (6) The manufacturing apparatus 100 for members for display devices may be provided with means for performing other processes before or after the adhesive application device 1, the bonding device 2, and the curing device 3. For example, a taping unit that bundles the completed liquid crystal display panel may be provided. Moreover, it does not require curing treatment depending on the type of adhesive In the case of a case where the curing process is performed by an independent device or the like, the manufacturing device 100 for the member for a display device without the curing device 3 may be employed.

(7)所述實施方式中,將液晶面板S1設為第1工件, 將罩面板S2設為第2工件而進行了說明,但當然也可將罩面板S2設為第1工件,將液晶面板S1設為第2工件。即,在適用第1實施方式的情況下,也可在罩面板S2上形成黏合層R1,在液晶面板S1上形成黏合層誘導部RG。或者,在適用第2實施方式的情況下,也可在罩面板S2上形成黏合層誘導部RG之後,形成黏合層R1。 (7) In the above embodiment, the liquid crystal panel S1 is set as the first workpiece. Although the cover panel S2 has been described as the second workpiece, it is needless to say that the cover panel S2 is the first workpiece and the liquid crystal panel S1 is the second workpiece. In other words, in the case where the first embodiment is applied, the adhesive layer R1 may be formed on the cover panel S2, and the adhesion layer inducing portion RG may be formed on the liquid crystal panel S1. Alternatively, in the case where the second embodiment is applied, the adhesive layer R1 may be formed after the adhesive layer inducing portion RG is formed on the cover panel S2.

而且,所述實施方式中,以在罩面板S2的內框F的緣部形成黏合層誘導部RG的例子進行了說明,但也可如圖17所示,從內框F的緣部遍及印刷框P而形成黏合層誘導部RG。此時,也只要使黏合層誘導部RG形成為將黏合層R1誘導至應與相向的液晶面板S1接觸的位置即可。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the adhesive layer inducing portion RG is formed at the edge of the inner frame F of the cover panel S2 has been described. However, as shown in FIG. 17, the printing may be performed from the edge of the inner frame F. The adhesive layer inducing portion RG is formed in the frame P. In this case, the adhesive layer inducing portion RG may be formed so as to induce the adhesive layer R1 to a position to be in contact with the opposing liquid crystal panel S1.

而且,也可使黏合層R1並非形成在液晶面板S1與罩面板S2中的任一者上,而是形成在兩者上。而且,黏合層誘導部RG也可並非形成在液晶面板S1與罩面板S2中的任一者上,而是形成在兩者上。即,黏合層R1在一對工件上的形成及黏合層誘導部RG的形成的組合可自由決定。在任一圖案中,黏合層誘導部RG均可將形成在其中一個工件上的黏合層R1的緣部誘導至應與另一個工件接觸的位置即接觸位置。 Further, the adhesive layer R1 may be formed not on either of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 but on both. Further, the adhesion layer inducing portion RG may not be formed on either of the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2, but may be formed on both of them. That is, the combination of the formation of the adhesive layer R1 on the pair of workpieces and the formation of the adhesion layer inducing portion RG can be freely determined. In either of the patterns, the adhesive layer inducing portion RG can induce the edge portion of the adhesive layer R1 formed on one of the workpieces to a position to be in contact with the other workpiece, that is, a contact position.

原本理想的是,要貼合的一對工件塗布適當量的黏合劑 R,利用黏合層R1來填埋全部貼合部分。若黏合劑R的量少,則未被黏合層R1填充的部分有可能成為邊界線而導致製品的價值下降。若黏合劑R的量多,則黏合層R1會從貼合部分擠出,從而成為阻礙顯示裝置用構件的裝配性的因素。即使以黏合層R1儘量不會擠出的方式來調整塗布量,由於表面張力作用於黏合層R1的緣部,因此也只能填埋大致比整個貼合部分少的面積。如此,僅僅塗布黏合劑R而無法填埋的部分、即黏合劑原本應接觸的工件的部分為接觸位置。所述實施方式中記載的接觸位置C是指工件上的黏合層R1應接觸的所有位置,藉由設置黏合層誘導部RG,也能夠填充黏合層R1未能填埋到的部分。 It is originally desirable to apply a suitable amount of adhesive to a pair of workpieces to be fitted R, using the adhesive layer R1 to fill all the bonding portions. If the amount of the binder R is small, the portion not filled by the adhesive layer R1 may become a boundary line and the value of the product may be lowered. When the amount of the binder R is large, the adhesive layer R1 is extruded from the bonding portion, which is a factor that hinders the assembly property of the member for a display device. Even if the coating amount is adjusted so that the adhesive layer R1 is not extruded as much as possible, since the surface tension acts on the edge of the adhesive layer R1, only a small area which is substantially smaller than the entire bonded portion can be filled. Thus, the portion where only the adhesive R is applied and which cannot be filled, that is, the portion of the workpiece which the adhesive should originally contact is the contact position. The contact position C described in the above embodiment refers to all positions where the adhesive layer R1 on the workpiece should be in contact, and by providing the adhesive layer inducing portion RG, it is also possible to fill the portion where the adhesive layer R1 is not filled.

而且,液晶面板S1及罩面板S2只是成為貼合對象的工件的一例,只要是成為構成顯示裝置的層疊體的構件且呈面狀地塗布黏合劑R來貼合的工件,則不論種類、大小、形狀、材質等。 當然,也可貼合無印刷框的工件。例如,只要將包含偏光板等的顯示面板、操作用的觸摸面板、保護表面的罩面板S2、平板狀的背光燈或背光燈的導光板等這些中的至少兩種予以貼合而構成顯示裝置用構件L即可。作為顯示裝置,也廣泛包括液晶顯示器、有機EL顯示器等具有貼合的平板狀的工件,且在當前或將來可利用的顯示裝置。 In addition, the liquid crystal panel S1 and the cover panel S2 are only examples of the workpiece to be bonded, and the workpiece is bonded to the surface of the laminate which constitutes the laminate of the display device. , shape, material, etc. Of course, it is also possible to fit a workpiece without a printed frame. For example, a display panel including a polarizing plate or the like, a touch panel for operation, a cover panel S2 for protecting a surface, a flat backlight, or a light guide plate for a backlight may be bonded together to form a display device. It is sufficient to use the component L. As the display device, a display device having a flat plate-like workpiece such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display and which is currently or in the future is widely used.

作為如上所述的變形(variation)例,圖18表示無印刷 框P的大致相同大小的一對面板S11及面板S12的貼合情況。黏合層R1形成在面板S11上,黏合層誘導部RG形成在面板S11、 面板S12兩者上。若如此般在面板S11與面板S12兩者上形成黏合層誘導部RG,則即使僅在液晶面板S11上形成黏合層R1,也能夠將黏合層R1誘導至面板S11與面板S12兩者的四角。由此,能夠更難以引起製品的剝離。另外,圖18中,為了便於理解,獨立地顯示了面板S11的黏合層R1與黏合層誘導部RG,但實際上,黏合層R1受黏合層誘導部RG誘導而與面板S12貼合時一體化。 As an example of the variation as described above, FIG. 18 shows no printing. The bonding of the pair of panels S11 and S12 of substantially the same size of the frame P. The adhesive layer R1 is formed on the panel S11, and the adhesive layer inducing portion RG is formed on the panel S11. Both panels S12 are on. When the adhesion layer inducing portion RG is formed on both the panel S11 and the panel S12 in this manner, the adhesive layer R1 can be induced to the four corners of both the panel S11 and the panel S12 even if the adhesive layer R1 is formed only on the liquid crystal panel S11. Thereby, peeling of a product can be made more difficult. In addition, in FIG. 18, in order to facilitate understanding, the adhesion layer R1 of the panel S11 and the adhesion layer induction part RG are shown independently, but actually, the adhesion layer R1 is induced by the adhesion layer induction part RG and is integrated with the panel S12. .

(8)而且,彼此貼合的一對工件既可為一片,也可為多 片的層疊體。也可在貼合有顯示面板、驅動電路、印刷基板的層疊體上,進一步貼合觸摸面板、保護面板或複合面板等。即,層疊為顯示裝置用構件L的工件的層疊數並不限定於特定數。 (8) Moreover, a pair of workpieces that are attached to each other can be either one piece or more A laminate of sheets. A touch panel, a protective panel, a composite panel, or the like may be further bonded to a laminate in which a display panel, a drive circuit, and a printed substrate are bonded. In other words, the number of stacked workpieces stacked in the display device member L is not limited to a specific number.

(9)所述實施方式中,為矩形形狀工件的貼合,因此將 黏合層R1塗布成矩形形狀,但也可根據工件的形狀而使黏合層R1形成為圓形狀或多邊形狀。並且,壓印用黏合劑R10的供給位置可根據與黏合層R1貼合的工件的形狀來適當決定,以使黏合層R1與相向的工件之間不會產生間隙。例如,若為三角形、五邊形或六邊形的黏合層R1,則也可對該各角供給壓印用黏合劑R10。 而且,例如若為圓形狀的黏合層R1,則也可遍及緣部整周來供給壓印用黏合劑R10。 (9) In the above embodiment, the workpiece is a rectangular shape, and thus The adhesive layer R1 is applied in a rectangular shape, but the adhesive layer R1 may be formed into a circular shape or a polygonal shape depending on the shape of the workpiece. Further, the supply position of the imprinting adhesive R10 can be appropriately determined according to the shape of the workpiece to be bonded to the adhesive layer R1 so that no gap is formed between the adhesive layer R1 and the opposing workpiece. For example, in the case of the triangular, pentagonal or hexagonal adhesive layer R1, the imprinting adhesive R10 may be supplied to the respective corners. Further, for example, in the case of the circular adhesive layer R1, the imprinting adhesive R10 may be supplied over the entire circumference of the edge portion.

(10)所述實施方式中,對貼合裝置2的腔室21內部進 行減壓而在真空下進行貼合,但也可在大氣下進行貼合。在這些情況下,無須設置為了形成密閉並減壓的空間所需的部件,因此可更低成本地構成裝置,從而能夠低成本地製造顯示面板。 (10) In the embodiment, the inside of the chamber 21 of the bonding device 2 is advanced.
