母板之基板加工方法Motherboard substrate processing method

本發明係有關將貼合有2張玻璃等脆性材料基板之母板(motherboard亦稱貼合基板、貼合母板)予以分割,來形成成為加工品的複數張單位基板之母板之基板加工方法,更詳細而言,係有關從母板形成單位基板時,於單位基板的周緣形成外部連接用的端子區域(terminal region)之基板加工方法。The present invention relates to a mother board in which a mother board (a mother board is also referred to as a bonding board or a bonding board) in which two sheets of a brittle material such as glass are bonded, and a substrate of a plurality of unit substrates which are processed products is formed. In a more detailed manner, in the case of forming a unit substrate from a mother board, a substrate processing method for forming a terminal region for external connection on the periphery of the unit substrate is used.

本發明的基板加工方法,具體而言係利用於液晶顯示面板的單位顯示面板等之加工。The substrate processing method of the present invention is specifically used for processing a unit display panel or the like of a liquid crystal display panel.

在液晶顯示面板中,使用2張大面積玻璃基板,在一方的基板上形成彩色濾光片,且在另一方的基板上形成驅動液晶之TFT(Thin filmTransistor,薄膜電晶體)以及用以進行外部連接之端子區域。然後,藉由貼合上述2張基板之同時形成封入有液晶之母板,接著,經過分割成1張1張的單位顯示面板(液晶顯示面板用之單位基板)之步驟,來製造液晶顯示面板。In the liquid crystal display panel, two large-area glass substrates are used, a color filter is formed on one of the substrates, and a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) for driving the liquid crystal is formed on the other substrate and external connection is performed. Terminal area. Then, a mother board in which a liquid crystal is sealed is formed by bonding the two substrates, and then a unit display panel (unit substrate for a liquid crystal display panel) is divided into one sheet to manufacture a liquid crystal display panel. .

在液晶顯示面板之母板中,隔著密封材貼合形成有彩色濾光片之側的第一基板(亦稱CF側基板)、以及形成有TFT及端子區域之側的第二基板(亦稱TFT基板)。此時,第二基板係以形成有TFT與端子區域之基板面成為與第一基板的接合面之方式予以貼合。In the mother board of the liquid crystal display panel, a first substrate (also referred to as a CF side substrate) on the side where the color filter is formed and a second substrate on the side where the TFT and the terminal region are formed are bonded via a sealing material (also Called TFT substrate). At this time, the second substrate is bonded so that the substrate surface on which the TFT and the terminal region are formed is a bonding surface with the first substrate.

此時,端子區域係在TFT與外部機器之間為連接信號線之區域,故必須露出端子區域。因此,在按各個單位顯示面板分割母板時,係針對與端子區域相對向之第一基板(CF側基板)的部位,沿著成為與連接TFT之側的相反側之端子區域的外側端(亦即單位顯示面板之周緣)進行分割之同時,由端子區域之外側端將用以安裝信號線所需之寬度(端子寬度),作為廢料而予以切除。At this time, since the terminal region is a region where the signal line is connected between the TFT and the external device, the terminal region must be exposed. Therefore, when the panel dividing mother board is displayed for each unit, the portion of the first substrate (CF side substrate) facing the terminal region is along the outer end of the terminal region on the opposite side to the side on which the TFT is connected ( That is, the periphery of the unit display panel is divided, and the width (terminal width) required for mounting the signal line is removed from the outer side of the terminal region as waste.

一般而言,在從母板分割單位顯示面板之步驟中,利用使用切刀輪(cutter wheel)之分割方法。此時,分別針對構成母板之2張基板(CF側基板與TFT側基板),藉由使切刀輪壓接在預定分割位置且使之相對移動而在各基板刻上劃線溝(scribe groove)。其次藉由沿著劃線溝,施加力量進行截斷(機械截斷),或施加加熱蒸氣進行截斷(steam breaking),來按各個單位顯示面板將母板完全分割。然後利用搬運機器人將所分離之1個1個單位顯示面板,移送到後處理。In general, in the step of dividing the unit display panel from the mother board, a dividing method using a cutter wheel is used. At this time, the two substrates (the CF side substrate and the TFT side substrate) constituting the mother board are respectively scribed on each of the substrates by pressing the cutter wheel at a predetermined division position and relatively moving it. Groove). Secondly, by cutting the force along the scribe line, applying force to cut off (mechanical cut-off), or applying heating steam to cut off, the mother board is completely divided by each unit display panel. Then, the separated one unit display panel is transferred to the post-processing by the transfer robot.

已經揭示有基板加工系統(基板分割系統)與基板加工方法(參照專利文獻1、專利文獻2),係以對上下二面同時進行上述一連串的基板加工之方式來用以有效率地進行加工。依據上述文獻,利用上下一對切刀輪從上下方向對2張母板同時進行劃線。其次藉由蒸氣截斷機構與滾輪截斷機構對二面同時進行截斷,而按各單位顯示面板進行分割。然後1個1個取出所形成之單位顯示面板且將之運送到後處理。A substrate processing system (substrate dividing system) and a substrate processing method (see Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2) have been disclosed to efficiently perform processing by simultaneously performing the above-described series of substrate processing on both the upper and lower sides. According to the above document, two mother boards are simultaneously scribed by the upper and lower pair of cutter wheels. Secondly, the two sides are simultaneously cut by the steam cutting mechanism and the roller cutting mechanism, and the display is divided by each unit display panel. Then, the formed unit display panel is taken out one by one and transported to the post-processing.

在液晶顯示面板中,近年來越來越追求大畫面化,因此針對單位顯示面板亦追求大面積化。此外,在分割1張母板形成複數張單位顯示面板時,係將基板的一部分作為廢料而廢棄,然而已被要求減少廢棄之廢料量來有效利用母板。因此,在母板上形成彩色濾光片(CF)、TFT、端子區域時,以形成在鄰接的單位顯示面板間之廢料區域成為最小之方式來考慮基板佈局。In the liquid crystal display panel, in recent years, more and more large screens have been pursued, and therefore, the unit display panel has also been expected to have a large area. Further, when a plurality of unit display panels are formed by dividing one mother board, a part of the substrate is discarded as waste. However, it has been required to reduce the amount of waste discarded to effectively utilize the mother board. Therefore, when the color filter (CF), the TFT, and the terminal region are formed on the mother board, the substrate layout is considered such that the waste area formed between the adjacent unit display panels is minimized.

第15圖及第16圖係表示抑制廢料發生量之液晶顯示面板用母板之基板佈局例圖(平面圖、正視圖、右側面圖)。母板具有貼合有CF側基板G1與TFT側基板G2的構造。在上述例中,在母板上配置有合計8個單位顯示面板U。其中第15圖(a)的母板係配置有端子區域T形成在二邊的二端子面板之單位顯示面板。第15圖(b)之母板係配置有端子區域T形成於三邊的三端子面板。第15圖(c)之母板係配置有端子區域T形成在一邊之一端子面板。再者,第16圖的母板係配置有端子區域T形成在四邊之四端子面板。形成端子區域之邊數,係按照包含在單位顯示面板U之畫素數來選擇。Fig. 15 and Fig. 16 are diagrams showing a substrate layout (plan view, front view, and right side view) of a mother board for a liquid crystal display panel in which the amount of waste generated is suppressed. The mother board has a structure in which a CF side substrate G1 and a TFT side substrate G2 are bonded. In the above example, a total of eight unit display panels U are arranged on the mother board. The mother board of Fig. 15(a) is provided with a unit display panel in which the terminal regions T are formed on the two-terminal two-terminal panel. The mother board of Fig. 15(b) is provided with a three-terminal panel in which the terminal regions T are formed on three sides. The mother board of Fig. 15(c) is provided with one terminal panel formed on one side of the terminal region T. Further, the mother board of Fig. 16 is provided with a terminal region T formed on four sides of the four terminal panels. The number of sides forming the terminal region is selected in accordance with the number of pixels included in the unit display panel U.

在上述基板佈局中,第二基板G2(TFT側基板),係以在與鄰接的單位顯示面板U之間不產生廢料之方式,直接,以各單位顯示面板U彼此相接之方式而配置。因此關於第二基板G2,僅母板之外周部分產生為廢料。另一方面,第一基板(CF側基板)係與母板U之外周部分同時,與第二基板G2的端子區域T相對向之區域產生為廢料。在第15圖及第16圖中以陰影部表示成為廢料之部分。In the above-described substrate layout, the second substrate G2 (TFT side substrate) is disposed so that each unit display panel U is in contact with each other so as not to generate waste between the adjacent unit display panels U. Therefore, regarding the second substrate G2, only the outer peripheral portion of the mother board is generated as waste. On the other hand, the first substrate (CF side substrate) is generated as a waste material at the same time as the outer peripheral portion of the mother substrate U and the terminal region T of the second substrate G2. In the 15th and 16th drawings, the portion which becomes the waste is indicated by hatching.

在此著眼於第15圖所示之一端子面板、二端子面板、三端子面板。第17圖係表示鄰接的單位顯示面板之截面的一部分之圖。在上述基板佈局中,至少於一對鄰接之單位顯示面板U1,U2間,以一方的單位顯示面板U1之端子區域T的外側端面L1(僅第二基板G2之端面)、以及於另一方的單位顯示面板U2中不為端子區域T之端面L2(第一基板G1與第二基板G2之端面)相接之方式配置單位顯示面板U1,U2。再者,將此種關係之單位顯示面板的邊界之具體例,於第15圖中以「○」記號表示。Here, attention is paid to one of the terminal panel, the two-terminal panel, and the three-terminal panel shown in Fig. 15. Figure 17 is a view showing a part of a cross section of an adjacent unit display panel. In the above-described substrate layout, at least one pair of adjacent unit display panels U1, U2 displays the outer end surface L1 of the terminal region T of the panel U1 (only the end surface of the second substrate G2) in one unit, and the other The unit display panels U1 and U2 are disposed in such a manner that the end surface L2 of the terminal region T (the end faces of the first substrate G1 and the second substrate G2) are not in contact with each other in the unit display panel U2. Further, a specific example of the boundary of the unit display panel of such a relationship is indicated by a symbol "○" in Fig. 15.

分割母板時,於上述單位顯示面板U1與單位顯示面板U2之邊界附近,形成2種的切割面。When the mother board is divided, two types of cut surfaces are formed in the vicinity of the boundary between the unit display panel U1 and the unit display panel U2.

其中的一個係以第二基板G2與第一基板G1之端面一致之方式分割(全切割just cut)兩方的基板之切割面。稱此為全切割面(just cut surface)Ca。全切割面Ca係將單位顯示面板U1與單位顯示面板U2予以完全分離之面。One of them is divided so that the second substrate G2 coincides with the end faces of the first substrate G1 (completely cut). This is called a just cut surface Ca. The full-cut surface Ca is a surface in which the unit display panel U1 and the unit display panel U2 are completely separated.

另一個係於僅從全切割面Ca離開端子寬度Wa(第15圖)之位置而僅分割(半切割half cut)CF側基板G1之切割面。稱此為端子切割面Cb(terminal cut surface)。端子切割面Cb係為了露出端子區域T的端子面而分割之切割面。然後於全切割面Ca與端子切割面Cb之間的第一基板G1,產生廢料區域E。The other is to divide (cut only) the cut surface of the CF side substrate G1 only from the position where the full-cut surface Ca leaves the terminal width Wa (Fig. 15). This is called the terminal cut surface Cb (terminal cut surface). The terminal cut surface Cb is a cut surface that is divided to expose the terminal surface of the terminal region T. Then, the scrap region E is produced on the first substrate G1 between the full-cut surface Ca and the terminal cut surface Cb.

第18圖係表示就第17圖所示之單位顯示面板U1、單位顯示面板U2、廢料區域E,進行過劃線加工(scribing,刻劃線溝,簡稱為劃線加工)與截斷處理後之3種分離狀態之圖。在第18圖(a)中,廢料區域E由單位顯示面板U1,U2完全分離,任一個單位顯示面板U1,U2皆處於直接能作為良品之最理想的分離狀態。經分離成此狀態之單位顯示面板U1,U2就照原樣移送到下步驟。Figure 18 is a diagram showing the unit display panel U1, the unit display panel U2, and the scrap area E shown in Fig. 17, which are subjected to scribing (scribing, scribing, and simply scribing) and after the truncation process. A map of three separation states. In Fig. 18(a), the scrap area E is completely separated by the unit display panels U1, U2, and any unit display panel U1, U2 is in an ideal separation state which can be directly used as a good product. The unit display panel U1, U2 separated into this state is transferred to the next step as it is.

第18圖(b)係廢料區域E未從單位顯示面板U2分離,而附著於全切割面Ca側,且僅單位顯示面板U1為完全分離之狀態。此時就單位顯示面板U1,作為良品照原樣移送到下步驟,而就單位顯示面板U2,作為不良品而廢棄,或進行分離廢料區域E之追加的截斷處理且加以改善品質之後移送到下步驟。In the 18th (b), the waste area E is not separated from the unit display panel U2, but is attached to the side of the full-cut surface Ca, and only the unit display panel U1 is completely separated. At this time, the unit display panel U1 is transferred to the next step as a good product, and the unit display panel U2 is discarded as a defective product, or the cutting process of the separation waste area E is added, and the quality is improved, and then the process proceeds to the next step. .

第18圖(c)係廢料區域E未從單位顯示面板U1分離,而附著於端子切割面Cb側,僅單位顯示面板U2為完全分離之狀態。此時就單位顯示面板U2,作為良品照原樣移送到下步驟,而就單位顯示面板U1,作為不良品廢棄,或進行分離廢料區域E之追加的截斷處理加以改善品質後移送到下步驟。In Fig. 18(c), the scrap area E is not separated from the unit display panel U1, but is attached to the terminal cut surface Cb side, and only the unit display panel U2 is completely separated. At this time, the unit display panel U2 is transferred to the next step as a good product, and the unit display panel U1 is discarded as a defective product, or the cutting process of adding the separated waste area E is performed to improve the quality, and then transferred to the next step.

在實際的製造步驟中,以儘量對廢料區域E加工使之成為完全分離的狀態(第18圖(a))之方式來調整基板分割系統,但仍會不定期地發生廢料區域E附著在全切割面Ca的狀態(第18圖(b)),或附著在端子切割面Cb的狀態(第18圖(c))之情況。該情況時,在廢料區域E附著於全切割面Ca之狀態或為附著於端子切割面Cb之狀態,皆必須進行追加的截斷處理來加以改善品質。為此,準備對應各個狀態之二種截斷機構,並判定為屬於2種附著狀態中之哪一個,且按照廢料區域E之附著狀態選擇截斷機構,來進行追加之截斷處理。In the actual manufacturing step, the substrate division system is adjusted in such a manner that the waste area E is processed as completely as possible (Fig. 18(a)), but the waste area E is attached to the entire portion from time to time. The state of the cutting surface Ca (Fig. 18(b)) or the state of the terminal cutting surface Cb (Fig. 18(c)). In this case, in a state in which the scrap region E adheres to the full-cut surface Ca or in a state of adhering to the terminal cut surface Cb, it is necessary to perform an additional cutting process to improve the quality. For this purpose, two kinds of cutting mechanisms corresponding to the respective states are prepared, and it is determined which one of the two types of attachment states is present, and the cutting mechanism is selected in accordance with the attachment state of the waste area E, and the additional cutting process is performed.

另一方面,揭示有一種分割方法(參照專利文獻3),係以經常使廢料區域E附著於全切割面(第18圖(b)),或使附著在端子切割面(第18圖(c))之方式進行截斷處理,並於下一個步驟,使用單一種的截斷機構確實地分離廢料區域E。On the other hand, a division method (refer to Patent Document 3) is disclosed in which the scrap area E is often attached to the full-cut surface (Fig. 18(b)), or is attached to the terminal cut surface (Fig. 18 (c) In the manner of )), the cutting process is performed, and in the next step, the waste area E is surely separated using a single type of cutting mechanism.

依據此文獻所記載之分割方法,利用雷射光束或切刀輪進行劃線加工時,首先就第一基板G1(CF側基板)進行加工,其次進行上下翻轉且就第二基板G2(TFT側基板)進行加工。此時,例如如第19圖所示,以強的按壓力P1進行對第一基板G1的端子切割面Cb之切刀輪所執行的劃線。然後以比P1為弱的按壓力P2進行對第一基板G1的全切割面Ca之劃線。並且以強的按壓力P1進行對第二基板G2的全切割面Ca之劃線。如此藉由對劃線施加強弱的按壓力,而可調整劃線溝的深度,並可經常使廢料區域E附著在全切割面Ca側之狀態來進行截斷。結果,變成僅準備一種截斷機構便可效率佳地去除廢料。According to the division method described in this document, when the scribing process is performed by the laser beam or the cutter wheel, first, the first substrate G1 (CF side substrate) is processed, and then the upper substrate F1 is flipped up and down, and the second substrate G2 (TFT side) The substrate) is processed. At this time, for example, as shown in Fig. 19, the scribing performed on the cutter wheel of the terminal cutting surface Cb of the first substrate G1 is performed with a strong pressing force P1. Then, the full-cut surface Ca of the first substrate G1 is scribed with a pressing force P2 which is weaker than P1. Further, the full-cut surface Ca of the second substrate G2 is scribed with a strong pressing force P1. Thus, by applying a strong pressing force to the scribe line, the depth of the scribe groove can be adjusted, and the scrap region E can be often attached to the state of the full-cut surface Ca to be cut. As a result, it becomes possible to efficiently remove the waste by preparing only one kind of cutting mechanism.

同樣地,在作成經常使廢料區域E附著於端子切割面Cb側之狀態下進行截斷時,例如第20圖所示,藉強的按壓力P1進行對第一基板G1的全切割面Ca之劃線,另一方面,以比P1為弱的按壓力P2進行對第一基板G1的端子切割面Cb之劃線加工。此外,以強的按壓力P1進行對第二基板G2的全切割面Ca之劃線。此時亦僅準備一種截斷機構即可效率佳地去除廢料。In the same manner, when the scrap region E is often cut in the state in which the scrap region E is attached to the terminal cutting surface Cb side, for example, as shown in Fig. 20, the full cutting surface Ca of the first substrate G1 is drawn by the strong pressing force P1. On the other hand, the scribe line processing of the terminal cut surface Cb of the first substrate G1 is performed at a pressing force P2 which is weaker than P1. Further, the full-cut surface Ca of the second substrate G2 is scribed with a strong pressing force P1. At this time, only one cutting mechanism is prepared to efficiently remove the waste.

隨著母板的大面積化,在劃線加工之途中,使母板上下翻轉變為困難。尤其是各基板的板厚Wt(參照第15圖)變為1mm以下時(例如0.05至0.7mm),由於基板變為容易破裂,故避免使基板翻轉。因此,使第一基板(CF側基板)與第二基板(TFT側基板),於加工途中翻轉來對兩側基板進行加工之專利文獻3所記載之類的方法變得困難。因此,必須採用不必使基板翻轉之記載在專利文獻1、專利文獻2之類的從上下方向進行基板的加工之上下基板加工系統。With the large area of the mother board, it becomes difficult to flip the mother board down on the way of the scribing process. In particular, when the thickness Wt (see FIG. 15) of each substrate is 1 mm or less (for example, 0.05 to 0.7 mm), since the substrate is easily broken, the substrate is prevented from being reversed. Therefore, a method described in Patent Document 3 in which the first substrate (CF side substrate) and the second substrate (TFT side substrate) are reversed during processing to process both substrates is difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to use a lower substrate processing system in which the substrate is processed from the vertical direction, such as Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, which are described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2.

此外,隨著單位顯示面板的大面積化,必須謀求比以往更加縮小作為端子區域而露出的部分之寬度的端子寬度Wa(參照第15圖)。具體而言,之前的端子寬度Wa係10mm左右,而必須謀求使之縮小到1mm至3mm左右。在進行此種基板佈局時,為了確實地分離廢料區域,可採用第19圖及第20圖所示之專利文獻3所記載的分割方法,來去除之後不需要的廢料區域。但是,採用此分割方法亦有無法進行品質改善之情況。In addition, as the unit display panel is increased in size, it is necessary to reduce the width of the terminal Wa which is the width of the portion exposed as the terminal region (see FIG. 15). Specifically, the previous terminal width Wa is about 10 mm, and it is necessary to reduce it to about 1 mm to 3 mm. When such a substrate layout is performed, in order to reliably separate the scrap regions, the dividing method described in Patent Document 3 shown in Figs. 19 and 20 can be used to remove the unnecessary scrap regions. However, there are cases where quality improvement cannot be achieved by this division method.

亦即,在廢料區域E附著於端子切割面Cb側之狀態(參照第20圖)下,廢料區域E與單位顯示面板成為一體,整體上切開為形成長方體之狀態,而用以僅把持廢料區域E之突出部分消失。此外,端子寬度Wa成為1mm至3mm時,亦變得難以利用吸附墊來僅分離廢料區域E(參照專利文獻2)。因此,一經附著於端子切割面Cb側時,便難以從端子切割面Cb分離廢料區域E,而不得不作為不良品而廢棄。That is, in a state in which the scrap area E adheres to the terminal cut surface Cb side (see FIG. 20), the scrap area E is integrated with the unit display panel, and is integrally cut into a rectangular parallelepiped state, and is used to hold only the scrap area. The prominent part of E disappears. In addition, when the terminal width Wa is 1 mm to 3 mm, it is also difficult to separate only the scrap region E by the adsorption pad (see Patent Document 2). Therefore, once attached to the terminal cutting surface Cb side, it is difficult to separate the scrap area E from the terminal cutting surface Cb, and it has to be discarded as a defective product.

另一方面,在廢料區域E附著在全切割面Ca側之狀態(參照第19圖)下,即使端子寬度Wa變小時,廢料區域E之一部分亦僅突出1mm,故可僅把持此部分。又可僅對廢料區域E施加分離所需之剪力或彎曲力矩,故可藉由之後進行追加的截斷處理,而從全切割面Ca分離廢料區域E。On the other hand, in a state in which the scrap region E adheres to the full-cut surface Ca side (see FIG. 19), even if the terminal width Wa becomes small, only one portion of the scrap region E protrudes by only 1 mm, so that only the portion can be gripped. Further, the shearing force or the bending moment required for the separation can be applied only to the scrap region E. Therefore, the scrap region E can be separated from the full-cut surface Ca by performing an additional cutting process.

由以上情事,若擬從大面積的母板,對縮小端子區域的端子寬度Wa之單位顯示面板進行加工,則必須使用不必使基板翻轉之上下基板加工系統之同時,必須採用廢料區域E經常不附著於端子切割面Cb側(附著時亦附著在全切割面Ca側)之基板加工方法(參照第19圖)。In the above case, if it is intended to process a unit display panel that reduces the terminal width Wa of the terminal area from a large-area mother board, it is necessary to use the waste area E often without using the upper substrate processing system. A substrate processing method (see Fig. 19) attached to the side of the terminal cut surface Cb (also attached to the side of the full cut surface Ca when attached).

但是,以裝載有上下一對切刀輪之上下基板加工系統,對第一基板及第二基板進行劃線時,若僅對任一單側的切刀輪施加按壓力時,基板會朝一方大幅度地彎曲。因此,通常,必須利用上下一對切刀輪從上下方向同時進行劃線。不得不僅進行對單側之劃線時,必須按壓無刀尖之支撐滾輪於另一方側來進行劃線。However, when the first substrate and the second substrate are scribed by the upper and lower cutter processing systems on the upper and lower cutter wheels, if only one of the one-side cutter wheels is pressed, the substrate will be facing one. Bending sharply. Therefore, in general, it is necessary to simultaneously perform scribing from the up and down direction by means of a pair of upper and lower cutter wheels. When it is necessary to perform the scribing on only one side, it is necessary to press the support roller without the blade edge to perform scribing on the other side.

因此,在上下基板加工系統中,為採用廢料區域E不會經常附著於端子切割面Cb側之基板加工方法(參照第19圖),從上下兩側使切刀輪與全切割面Ca相對向,來對基板同時進行劃線。此時,加強TFT側基板之切刀輪的按壓力P1,且減弱CF側基板之切刀輪的按壓力P2,來從上下兩側同時進行按壓。此外,對端子切割面Cb進行劃線時,按壓切刀輪於CF側基板,且使支撐滾輪(back-up roller)與TFT側基板相對向來進行按壓。Therefore, in the upper and lower substrate processing systems, the substrate processing method (see FIG. 19) in which the scrap region E does not always adhere to the terminal cut surface Cb side is used, and the cutter wheel is opposed to the full cut surface Ca from the upper and lower sides. To scribe the substrate at the same time. At this time, the pressing force P1 of the cutter wheel of the TFT side substrate is reinforced, and the pressing force P2 of the cutter wheel of the CF side substrate is weakened, and the pressing is simultaneously performed from the upper and lower sides. Further, when the terminal cut surface Cb is scribed, the cutter wheel is pressed against the CF side substrate, and the back-up roller is pressed against the TFT side substrate.

但是,即使以此方法進行基板加工,實際上,亦發現產生無法控制溝深度,且無法分割成所欲的形狀之情況。具體而言,廢料區域E附著在端子切割面Cb側,或劃線溝無法形成足夠深,而無法按各個單位顯示面板進行分割。However, even if the substrate processing is performed by this method, in fact, it has been found that the groove depth cannot be controlled and it is impossible to divide into a desired shape. Specifically, the scrap area E is attached to the side of the terminal cut surface Cb, or the scribe line cannot be formed deep enough, and the display panel cannot be divided for each unit.

檢討此原因的結果,由申請人的分析知道,係起因於為了進行端子加工而進行全切割面Ca的加工與端子切割面Cb的加工之2次劃線加工,而受到包夾端子區域而存在之密封材的影響,第2次的劃線加工時不易產生裂紋。就此現象加以說明。As a result of reviewing the cause, it is known from the applicant's analysis that the second-line scribing process is performed for the processing of the full-cut surface Ca and the processing of the terminal cut surface Cb for the terminal processing, and is present by the sandwich terminal region. The influence of the sealing material is less likely to cause cracks during the second scribing process. Explain this phenomenon.

第21圖及第22圖係表示利用切刀輪對具有包夾在全切割面Ca與端子切割面Cb之1mm至3mm的間隔之端子區域T,上下同時進行劃線加工之方法的圖。其中第21圖係首先對全切割面Ca進行劃線加工,之後對端子切割面Cb進行劃線加工之加工方法。此外,第22圖係先對端子切割面Cb進行加工,之後進行全切割面Ca的劃線加工之加工方法。21 and 22 are views showing a method of performing scribing processing on the upper and lower sides of the terminal region T having a gap of 1 mm to 3 mm which is sandwiched between the full-cut surface Ca and the terminal cut surface Cb by the cutter wheel. The 21st drawing is a processing method in which the full-cut surface Ca is first subjected to scribing processing, and then the terminal cutting surface Cb is subjected to scribing processing. Further, Fig. 22 is a processing method in which the terminal cutting surface Cb is processed first, and then the scribing processing of the full cutting surface Ca is performed.

首先,就先由全切割面Ca進行加工時的現象加以說明。如第21圖(a)所示,隔著端子區域T,於兩側有密封材S1,S2,藉該等貼合第一基板G1與第二基板G2。First, the phenomenon when processing is performed from the full-cut surface Ca will be described. As shown in Fig. 21(a), the sealing material S1, S2 is provided on both sides via the terminal region T, and the first substrate G1 and the second substrate G2 are bonded together.

如第21圖(b)所示,壓接切刀輪W1於第一基板G1側的全切割面Ca之位置,且壓接切刀輪W2於第二基板G2側的全切割面之位置,來進行第一次劃線加工。此時由於欲將第二基板G2側的溝形成得較深,而將第一基板G1側的溝形成得淺,故比起施加於第二基板G2側之壓接力相對減小第一基板G1側之壓接力。於進行第一次劃線加工之時點,因應力不存在於全切割面Ca之附近,故第一基板G1、第二基板G2之兩側基板,皆可沒問題地形成劃線溝,且可形成按照壓接力之溝的深度。As shown in FIG. 21(b), the cutter wheel W1 is crimped to the position of the full-cut surface Ca on the side of the first substrate G1, and the cutter wheel W2 is crimped to the position of the full-cut surface of the second substrate G2 side. To perform the first scribing process. At this time, since the groove on the side of the second substrate G2 is formed to be deep, and the groove on the side of the first substrate G1 is formed shallow, the first substrate G1 is relatively smaller than the pressure applied to the side of the second substrate G2. Side crimping force. At the time of the first scribing process, since the stress does not exist in the vicinity of the full-cut surface Ca, the both sides of the first substrate G1 and the second substrate G2 can form a scribe groove without problems, and The depth of the groove according to the crimping force is formed.

其次,如第21圖(c)所示壓接切刀輪W1於第一基板G1的端子切割面Cb之位置,且壓接支撐滾輪W3(沒刀尖之滾輪)於第二基板G2的端子切割面Cb之延長線上,來進行第二次劃線加工。此時為了將第一基板G1側之端子切割面Cb的溝形成地深,加強施加於切刀輪W1之壓接力以及施加於支撐滾輪的壓接力。Next, as shown in FIG. 21(c), the cutter wheel W1 is crimped to the position of the terminal cutting surface Cb of the first substrate G1, and the support roller W3 (roller without the tip) is crimped to the terminal of the second substrate G2. The second scribing process is performed on the extension line of the cut surface Cb. At this time, in order to form the groove of the terminal cut surface Cb on the first substrate G1 side deep, the pressure contact force applied to the cutter wheel W1 and the pressure contact force applied to the support roller are reinforced.

但是,於進行第二次劃線加工之時點,第一次劃線加工的結果所形成之劃線溝張開,而受到此與密封材S1的影響,端子切割面Cb的附近成為施加有壓縮應力之狀態。亦即,第一基板G1之全切割面Ca雖欲朝端子切割面方向Cb側張開,但密封材S阻止欲張開之力量,故於離全切割面Ca1mm至3mm之位置的端子切割面Cb產生壓縮應力,而阻礙在端子切割面之往裂紋的深度方向之伸展。However, at the time of the second scribing process, the scribing groove formed as a result of the first scribing process is opened, and the vicinity of the terminal cut surface Cb is subjected to compression by the influence of the sealing material S1. The state of stress. That is, although the full-cut surface Ca of the first substrate G1 is to be opened toward the terminal cutting surface direction Cb side, the sealing material S blocks the force to be opened, so that the terminal cutting surface Cb is generated at a position of 1 mm to 3 mm from the full-cut surface Ca. The stress is compressed to impede the extension of the crack in the depth direction of the cracked surface of the terminal.

結果,會產生一種情況,即藉由第二次劃線加工,變得無法在第一基板G1之端子切割面Cb形成深的劃線溝,而形成在第一基板G1之全切割面Ca的劃線溝比端子切割面Cb的溝形成得還深。因此,如第21圖(d)所示,形成第一基板G1由全切割面Ca所分割之單位顯示面板,而非第一基板G1由端子切割面Cb所分割者。As a result, there is a case where it is impossible to form a deep scribe groove on the terminal cut surface Cb of the first substrate G1 by the second scribe line processing, and it is formed on the full cut surface Ca of the first substrate G1. The groove groove is formed deeper than the groove of the terminal cut surface Cb. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 21(d), the unit display panel in which the first substrate G1 is divided by the full-cut surface Ca is formed, and the first substrate G1 is not divided by the terminal cut surface Cb.

其次,就從端子切割面Cb先加工時的現象加以說明。如第22圖(a)所示,隔著端子區域T,在兩側有密封材S1,S2,藉此貼合第一基板G1與第二基板G2。Next, the phenomenon when the terminal cutting surface Cb is first processed will be described. As shown in Fig. 22(a), the first substrate G1 and the second substrate G2 are bonded to each other via the terminal region T with the sealing members S1 and S2 on both sides.

如第22圖(b)所示,壓接切刀輪W1於第一基板G1側的端子切割面Cb之位置,且壓接支撐滾輪W3於第二基板G2的端子切割面之位置,來進行第一次劃線加工。此時為了欲將第一基板G1側的溝形成深到完全分離之程度,故將第一基板G1的壓接力與支撐滾輪的壓接力一起加強。As shown in FIG. 22(b), the crimping cutter wheel W1 is placed at the position of the terminal cutting surface Cb on the first substrate G1 side, and the position of the support roller W3 is crimped to the terminal cutting surface of the second substrate G2. The first line is processed. At this time, in order to form the groove on the side of the first substrate G1 deep to the extent of complete separation, the pressure contact force of the first substrate G1 is strengthened together with the pressure contact force of the support roller.

於進行第一次劃線加工之時點,於端子切割面Cb之附近不存在應力,故沒問題地形成劃線溝,且可形成按照壓接力之深度的溝。At the time of the first scribing process, there is no stress in the vicinity of the terminal cut surface Cb, so that the scribe groove is formed without problems, and a groove having a depth according to the pressure contact force can be formed.

接著,如第22圖(c)所示,壓接切刀輪W1於第一基板G1側之全切割面Ca的位置,且壓接切刀輪W2於第二基板G2側的全切割面Ca之位置,來進行第二次劃線加工。此時為了欲將第二基板G2側的溝形成得深,且將第一基板G1側的溝形成得淺,故將第一基板G1側之壓接力作成比起施加於第二基板G2側之壓接力為減小。Next, as shown in Fig. 22(c), the cutter wheel W1 is crimped to the position of the full-cut surface Ca on the side of the first substrate G1, and the full-cut surface Ca of the cutter wheel W2 on the side of the second substrate G2 is crimped. The position is used for the second scribing process. At this time, in order to form the groove on the second substrate G2 side deep and to form the groove on the first substrate G1 side shallow, the pressure contact force on the first substrate G1 side is made to be applied to the second substrate G2 side. The crimping force is reduced.

在進行第二次劃線加工之時點,於第一次劃線加工劃線溝已在端子切割面Cb張開,而受到此與密封材S2之影響,第一基板G1側之全切割面Ca的附近成為施加有壓縮應力之狀態。亦即,第一基板G1的端子切割面Cb擬朝著全切割面Ca側張開,而因密封材S2阻止欲張開的力量,故在全切割面Ca產生壓縮應力,而阻礙第一基板G1的全切割面Ca朝裂紋的深度方向之伸展。結果,在第二次劃線加工中,於第一基板G1之全切割面Ca形成淺的劃線溝。關於第一基板G1側此不致造成問題,而於同時進行加工之第二基板側產生問題。At the time of the second scribing process, the first scribing process groove has been opened at the terminal cut surface Cb, and affected by the seal material S2, the full cut surface Ca of the first substrate G1 side The vicinity is in a state in which a compressive stress is applied. That is, the terminal cut surface Cb of the first substrate G1 is intended to be flared toward the full cut surface Ca side, and since the seal member S2 blocks the force to be opened, compressive stress is generated at the full cut surface Ca, and the first substrate is hindered. The full-cut surface Ca of G1 extends toward the depth direction of the crack. As a result, in the second scribing process, a shallow scribe groove is formed on the full-cut surface Ca of the first substrate G1. This does not cause a problem with respect to the side of the first substrate G1, but causes a problem on the side of the second substrate which is simultaneously processed.

亦即,關於第二基板G2側,於第一次劃線加工而欲使第一基板G1的端子切割面Cb張開,但因密封材S1,S2阻止欲張開之力量,故加上彎曲力矩,而成為在第二基板G2之全切割面Ca的附近施加有壓縮應力之狀態。因此,第二基板G2之全切割面Ca成為幾乎只能形成淺的劃線溝之狀態。在此種狀態下,復進行第二次劃線加工時,若第一基板側的切刀輪W1比第二基板側的切刀輪W2略為先進行劃線時,復施加強的彎曲力矩,而成為於第二基板之全切割面Ca附近施加強的壓縮應力,且第二基板G2的全切割面Ca變得幾乎無法進行劃線加工。此時,加大按壓力來進行劃線加工時便會產生碎玻璃。In other words, on the side of the second substrate G2, the terminal cutting surface Cb of the first substrate G1 is to be opened in the first scribing process, but since the sealing members S1 and S2 block the force to be opened, the bending moment is added. On the other hand, a state in which compressive stress is applied in the vicinity of the full-cut surface Ca of the second substrate G2 is obtained. Therefore, the full-cut surface Ca of the second substrate G2 is in a state in which only a shallow scribe groove can be formed. In this state, when the second scribing process is repeated, when the cutter wheel W1 on the first substrate side is slightly scribed earlier than the cutter wheel W2 on the second substrate side, a strong bending moment is applied. On the other hand, a strong compressive stress is applied in the vicinity of the full-cut surface Ca of the second substrate, and the full-cut surface Ca of the second substrate G2 becomes almost impossible to perform the scribing process. At this time, when the pressing force is increased to perform the scribing process, cullet is generated.

如上述,判明在上下基板加工系統中,於進行第二次劃線加工之端子切割面Cb與全切割面Ca2的任一者,難以形成所欲的劃線溝。As described above, it has been found that in the upper and lower substrate processing systems, it is difficult to form a desired scribe groove in any of the terminal cut surface Cb and the full cut surface Ca2 which are subjected to the second scribe line processing.

因此,本發明的目的首先在於提供一種上下基板加工系統的母板之基板加工方法,係即使為難以使基板翻轉來進行加工之大面積的母板,亦可穩定且確實地進行所欲的溝深度的劃線加工。Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a substrate processing method for a mother board of a top and bottom substrate processing system, which is capable of stably and surely performing a desired groove even if it is a large-area mother board which is difficult to invert the substrate for processing. Deep scribing processing.

此外,第二的目的係在提供一種基板加工方法,係在使用一對切刀輪的上下基板加工系統之母板的基板加工方法中,於端子區域之加工時,可對劃線溝的深度附加所欲之強弱。Further, a second object is to provide a substrate processing method which is a substrate processing method of a mother board of a top and bottom substrate processing system using a pair of cutter wheels, which can be used for processing the terminal region. Add the strength of your desire.

再者,第三目的係在提供一種基板加工方法,係在使用一對切刀輪之上下基板加工系統的母板之基板加工方法中,加工品(單位顯示面板)的端子區域之端子寬度即使變窄,亦完全不會產生覆蓋端子區域的部分之廢料區域附著在端子切割面側之不良品,而廢料區域完全分離,或萬一無法完全分離時,亦可之後確實地去除廢料區域來進行品質改善。Further, a third object is to provide a substrate processing method in which a terminal width of a terminal region of a processed product (unit display panel) is even in a substrate processing method using a master substrate of a pair of cutter wheel upper and lower substrate processing systems It is narrowed, and there is no problem that the scrap area covering the terminal area adheres to the defective side of the terminal cutting surface side, and the waste area is completely separated, or in the event that the waste area cannot be completely separated, the scrap area can be surely removed later. Quality improvement.

本發明之基板加工方法係藉由上下基板加工系統,來分割母板而製作單位顯示面板。此時其前提係即使廢料區域無法從單位顯示面板完全分離,亦藉由以利用追加的截斷處理而可確實地分割廢料區域之方式進行加工,來進行品質改善。In the substrate processing method of the present invention, the mother panel is divided by the upper and lower substrate processing systems to produce a unit display panel. At this time, the premise is that even if the scrap area cannot be completely separated from the unit display panel, the quality can be improved by performing processing by reliably dividing the scrap area by the additional cutting process.

成為本發明的加工對象之母板,具有貼合第一基板(CF側基板)與第二基板(TFT側基板)的基板構造(貼合基板)。而且,在此基板構造內,複數張方形的單位顯示面板係以相互鄰接之狀態排列所形成。各單位顯示面板之第二基板側係於4個周緣中之至少1個周緣形成有外部連接用之端子區域。在各單位顯示面板具有之端子區域中,至少一個係以該端子區域之外側端成為跨越兩側基板而分割之全切割面之同時,該端子區域的內側端成為僅分割相對向的第一基板之端子切割面的形態所構成。具體而言第15圖所示之一端子面板、二端子面板、三端子面板符合,且其中以○記號表示之區域,構成在此之由全切割面與端子切割面所包夾之端子區域。以此種母板為對象,係由於在上述○記號之端子區域,會產生藉由追加的截斷處理亦難以進行廢料區域之分割的缺失之故。The mother board to be processed in the present invention has a substrate structure (bonding substrate) to which the first substrate (CF side substrate) and the second substrate (TFT side substrate) are bonded. Further, in this substrate structure, a plurality of square unit display panels are formed in a state of being adjacent to each other. The second substrate side of each unit display panel is formed with a terminal region for external connection on at least one of the four peripheral edges. In at least one of the terminal regions included in each unit display panel, the outer end of the terminal region is a full-cut surface that is divided across the two substrates, and the inner end of the terminal region is a first substrate that is only divided and opposed. The shape of the terminal cutting surface is formed. Specifically, one of the terminal panel, the two-terminal panel, and the three-terminal panel shown in Fig. 15 conforms to the region indicated by the symbol ○, and constitutes a terminal region sandwiched between the full-cut surface and the terminal-cut surface. In the case of such a mother board, it is difficult to perform the division of the scrap area by the additional cutting process in the terminal area of the above-mentioned ○ mark.

又,為了解決上述課題,藉由使用朝向母板的第一基板之第一切刀輪,以及朝向第二基板之第二切刀輪,從第一基板與第二基板之兩側進行劃線加工,以按各個單位顯示面板分割母板之同時進行使各單位顯示面板的端子區域露出之端子加工。此時,對由母板的全切割面與端子切割面所包夾之端子區域進行劃線加工,(a)首先,壓接第一切刀輪於第一基板之端子切割面的位置之同時,壓接第二切刀輪於第二基板的全切割面之位置而在兩側同時進行劃線加工,(b)之後,壓接第一切刀輪於第一基板之全切割面之同時,壓接沒刀尖之支撐滾輪於第二基板的全切割面附近且於單面進行劃線加工。Moreover, in order to solve the above problem, the first cutter wheel facing the first substrate of the mother board and the second cutter wheel facing the second substrate are scribed from both sides of the first substrate and the second substrate. In the processing, the terminal is formed by exposing the terminal regions of the display panels of the respective units while the panel is divided by the respective units. At this time, the terminal region sandwiched by the full-cut surface of the mother board and the terminal cut surface is subjected to scribing processing, (a) first, while crimping the position of the first cutter wheel on the terminal cutting surface of the first substrate Pressing the second cutter wheel at the position of the full cutting surface of the second substrate to perform the scribing process on both sides simultaneously, and after (b), crimping the first cutter wheel on the full cutting surface of the first substrate The support roller without the cutting edge is crimped to the vicinity of the full cutting surface of the second substrate and is subjected to scribing on one side.

依據本發明,使用一對切刀輪,或切刀輪與支撐滾輪,而由兩側同時壓接第一基板與第二基板,並藉合計2次加工動作在全切割面與端子切割面進行劃線加工,而在第一次劃線加工對第一基板的端子切割面之位置與第二基板的全切割面之位置進行劃線。然後在第二次劃線加工時,係以比起第一基板的端子切割面之位置為弱的劃線對第一基板的全切割面之位置進行劃線。According to the present invention, a pair of cutter wheels, or a cutter wheel and a support roller are used, and the first substrate and the second substrate are simultaneously crimped from both sides, and the total cutting surface and the terminal cutting surface are performed by a total of two processing operations. The scribing process is performed, and the position of the first cutting surface of the first substrate and the position of the full cutting surface of the second substrate are scribed at the first scribing process. Then, at the time of the second scribing process, the position of the full-cut surface of the first substrate is scribed by a scribe line which is weaker than the position of the terminal cut surface of the first substrate.

亦即,在第一次劃線加工中,先對必須強力地劃線之第一基板的加工面(端子切割面)及第二基板之加工面(全切割面)彼此進行劃線。在第一次劃線中,在基板沒產生應力,故皆可深深地形成第一基板、第二基板之任一的劃線溝。再者,此情況係將一對切刀輪,壓接在以端子寬度之長度程度分開之位置,而由於距離短故幾乎沒影響。接著,在第二次劃線加工,對輕輕地劃線之加工面(第一基板之全切割面)進行劃線。在第二次劃線加工中,藉由施加壓縮應力於加工面,雖難以形成深的劃線溝,而原本預定淺淺地進行劃線,故沒問題。That is, in the first scribing process, the processed surface (terminal cut surface) of the first substrate which must be strongly crossed and the processed surface (full cut surface) of the second substrate are first scribed each other. In the first scribing, no stress is generated on the substrate, so that any one of the first substrate and the second substrate can be formed deeply. Furthermore, in this case, a pair of cutter wheels are crimped to a position separated by the length of the terminal width, and since the distance is short, there is almost no influence. Next, in the second scribing process, the machined surface (the full cut surface of the first substrate) that is lightly scribing is scribed. In the second scribing process, by applying compressive stress to the machined surface, it is difficult to form a deep scribe groove, and the scribe line is originally scheduled to be shallow, so that there is no problem.

如此,由上下兩側同時進行劃線時,挪動切刀輪的壓接位置,而先就形成深的劃線溝之位置進行加工。In this way, when the upper and lower sides are simultaneously scribed, the pressure contact position of the cutter wheel is moved, and the position of the deep scribe groove is first formed for processing.

依據本發明,於利用一對切刀輪由上下兩側同時就包夾在端子切割面與全切割面之端子區域進行劃線加工時,亦可將覆蓋此部分之廢料區域,從單位顯示面板完全分割,或無法分割之情況下亦可確實地可使之附著於單位顯示面板之全切割面側來進行分割,而無法分割廢料區域時,亦可藉由進行追加的截斷處理,來確實地進行品質改善。According to the present invention, when a pair of cutter wheels are used to perform the scribing process on the terminal areas of the terminal cutting surface and the full cutting surface from the upper and lower sides, the scrap area covering the part can also be covered from the unit display panel. When it is completely divided or cannot be divided, it can be reliably attached to the full-cut surface side of the unit display panel to divide, and when the waste area cannot be divided, the additional cutting process can be used to surely Improve quality.

(用以解決其他課題之手段及效果)(means and effects to solve other problems)

在上述發明中支撐滾輪係亦可對先形成在第二基板的全切割面之劃線溝的鄰接位置進行壓接。In the above invention, the support roller system may be pressure-bonded to an adjacent position of the scribe groove formed on the full-cut surface of the second substrate.

依據此,利用第一切刀輪對第一基板的全切割面進行劃線時,支撐滾輪係設成避開形成在第二基板的全切割面之劃線溝來壓接基板,故不再損及劃線溝。According to this, when the full cutting surface of the first substrate is scribed by the first cutter wheel, the support roller is arranged to avoid the scribe line formed on the full cutting surface of the second substrate to crimp the substrate, so that the substrate is no longer Damage to the ditch.

在上述發明中,亦可設為對包夾在全切割面與端子切割面的端子區域之一進行劃線加工時,於(a)之劃線加工步驟後,進行與加工中的端子區域為不同之端子區域之加工,之後,就最初的端子區域進行(b)之劃線加工。In the above invention, it is also possible to perform the scribing process on one of the terminal regions sandwiching the full-cut surface and the terminal cutting surface, and after performing the scribing processing step of (a), the terminal region to be processed and processed is After the processing of the different terminal areas, the scribing process of (b) is performed on the initial terminal area.

依據此,可先對利用一對切刀輪加工之加工部分進行加工後,對利用1個切刀輪與支撐滾輪加工之加工部分進行加工,故可均衡地進行加工,此外,可縮短因交換切刀輪與支撐滾輪所引起之調整時間與待機時間。According to this, the processed portion processed by the pair of cutter wheels can be processed, and the processed portion processed by the one cutter wheel and the support roller can be processed, so that the processing can be performed in a balanced manner, and the exchange can be shortened. Adjustment time and standby time caused by the cutter wheel and the support roller.

此外,在上述發明中,亦可設為全切割面與端子切割面之寬度(端子幅度)為1mm至3mm。可藉由縮小端子寬度,將可作為單位顯示面板利用之母板的面積予以加大。在此種情況下,覆蓋端子區域之廢料區域僅附著於完全切割面側,故可確實地將之予以去除。Further, in the above invention, the width (terminal width) of the full-cut surface and the terminal cut surface may be set to be 1 mm to 3 mm. By reducing the width of the terminal, the area of the motherboard that can be used as a unit display panel can be increased. In this case, the scrap area covering the terminal area adheres only to the side of the completely cut surface, so that it can be surely removed.

在上述發明中,亦可設為母板具有沿著正交之XY方向而縱橫地形成有單位顯示面板之構成,而在藉由以將母板不分離於X方向之方式一邊將基板的Y方向之最後部分夾住而移動於Y方向前方,且一邊在Y方向與X方向進行劃線加工來按各個單位顯示面板進行分割之情況,或藉由以將母板不分離於X方向之方式一邊將之夾住而移動於Y方向,且一邊於Y方向與X方向進行劃線加工來按各個單位顯示面板進行分割之情況下,先對Y方向進行劃線加工之同時,對包夾在前述全切割面與前述端子切割面的端子區域之一,依照此順序進行(a)之劃線加工,與(b)之劃線加工,而就X方向在Y方向的劃線加工後進行劃線加工亦可。In the above invention, the mother board may have a configuration in which the unit display panel is formed vertically and horizontally along the orthogonal XY directions, and the substrate Y may be formed so as not to be separated from the X direction. The last part of the direction is clamped and moved in front of the Y direction, and the screen is divided by the unit display panel in the Y direction and the X direction, or by dividing the motherboard in the X direction. When the Y-direction is clamped and moved in the Y direction and the X direction, and the display panel is divided for each unit, the Y-direction is first scribed, and the yoke is clamped at the same time. One of the terminal regions of the full-cut surface and the terminal cutting surface is subjected to the scribing process of (a) in this order, and the scribing process of (b), and the scribing process in the Y direction in the X direction is performed. Wire processing is also possible.

依據此,將單位顯示面板於XY方向二維地形成在母板上時,在以不分離於X方向之方式將基板予以夾住之狀態下使之移動於Y方向。然後對Y方向,依照此順序進行(a)之劃線加工,(b)之劃線加工,之後,進行X方向之劃線加工。如此藉由訂定加工順序,可確實地按各個單位顯示面板分割,且若進行追加的截斷處理,便可確實地進行品質改善。According to this, when the unit display panel is two-dimensionally formed on the mother board in the XY direction, the unit display panel is moved in the Y direction while being sandwiched by the substrate so as not to be separated from the X direction. Then, in the Y direction, the scribing process of (a) is performed in this order, and the scribing process of (b) is performed, and then the X-direction scribing process is performed. By setting the processing order in this way, it is possible to reliably display the panel division for each unit, and if the additional cutting processing is performed, the quality can be surely improved.

如第4圖(第3圖B-B’截面)所示,第一基板支撐部20A與第二基板支撐部20B分別由排列於X方向之5台的支撐單元21所構成。各支撐單元21於接近基板分割機構30之側,固定於架台10。正時皮帶(timing belt)繞轉移動於各支撐單元21之上面,而與後述之夾住裝置50連動傳送母板90。As shown in Fig. 4 (Fig. 3B-B' section), the first substrate supporting portion 20A and the second substrate supporting portion 20B are each constituted by five supporting units 21 arranged in the X direction. Each of the support units 21 is fixed to the gantry 10 on the side close to the substrate dividing mechanism 30. The timing belt is rotated around the support unit 21, and is coupled to the transfer unit 50 to be described later.

基板分割機構30係設置有上部導軌31及下部導軌32,而在上部導軌31以可移動於X方向之方式安裝有上部劃線機構60,以及於下部導軌32以可移動於X方向之方式安裝有下部劃線機構70。The substrate dividing mechanism 30 is provided with an upper rail 31 and a lower rail 32, and the upper rail 31 is attached to the upper scribing mechanism 60 so as to be movable in the X direction, and is mounted to the lower rail 32 so as to be movable in the X direction. There is a lower scribing mechanism 70.

Or X direction.

如第1圖或第2圖所示,於基板支撐裝置20之基板搬入側1L側係配置夾住母板90之基板搬入側的端部(母板90之後端)之夾住裝置50。夾住裝置50係由一對夾住具51(51L,51R)、使夾住具51升降之升降機構55(55L,55R)、移動底座57所構成,並在夾住母板90之狀態下使母板90移動於Y方向。此夾住裝置50係利用線性馬達機構58來驅動。而且移動於支撐單元21的間隙及下方,且保持夾住母板9之狀態的原樣,可通過基板分割機構30直到母板90的後端為止。夾住具51L及夾住具51,係將分別形成在母板90之單位顯示面板的左側之列,右側之列予以夾住,且在基板中央之位置沿著Y方向分割之情況下亦可按各列支撐經分割在左右之母板90,且將之傳送於Y方向。As shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, the chucking device 50 that sandwiches the end portion (the rear end of the mother board 90) on the substrate loading side of the mother board 90 is disposed on the substrate loading side 1L side of the substrate supporting device 20. The gripping device 50 is constituted by a pair of gripping members 51 (51L, 51R), a lifting mechanism 55 (55L, 55R) for lifting and lowering the gripper 51, and a moving base 57, and sandwiching the mother board 90. The mother board 90 is moved in the Y direction. This clamping device 50 is driven by a linear motor mechanism 58. Further, the movement is performed on the gap and the lower side of the support unit 21, and the state in which the mother board 9 is held is maintained, and the substrate dividing mechanism 30 can be passed up to the rear end of the mother board 90. The clip 51L and the gripping tool 51 are respectively formed on the left side of the unit display panel of the mother board 90, and the right side column is sandwiched, and the position in the center of the substrate is divided along the Y direction. The mother boards 90 divided by the left and right sides are supported by the respective columns and are conveyed in the Y direction.

如第6圖(第3圖之D-D’截面)所示,於基板支撐裝置20之基板搬出側1R配置蒸氣截斷裝置100,其係具備針對傳送來之母板90,將加熱蒸氣由上噴灑之上部蒸氣單元101,以及由下噴灑之下部蒸氣單元102。藉由進行過劃線加工之母板90通過從蒸氣截斷裝置100所噴灑之加熱蒸氣之間,使母板90膨張,且主要進行對母板的X方向之積極性的截斷處理。蒸氣截斷裝置100可利用線性馬達機構130移動於Y方向。As shown in Fig. 6 (D-D' section of Fig. 3), a vapor shutoff device 100 is disposed on the substrate carry-out side 1R of the substrate supporting device 20, and is provided with a mother board 90 for transporting, and heating steam is applied thereto. The upper vapor unit 101 is sprayed, and the lower vapor unit 102 is sprayed by the lower portion. The mother board 90 which has been subjected to the scribing process passes between the heating vapors sprayed from the steam shutoff device 100 to expand the mother board 90, and mainly performs the cutting process for the positive direction of the mother board in the X direction. The vapor shutoff device 100 can be moved in the Y direction by the linear motor mechanism 130.

如第7圖(第3圖之E-E’截面)所示,於蒸氣單元100的基板搬出側1R之位置配置滾輪截斷裝置110,係對傳送來之母板90,沿著形成在基板上之Y方向的劃線溝之鄰接位置(劃線溝的旁邊)按壓截斷滾輪111至113,並提供對基板2的Y方向之截斷壓來積極地進行截斷。滾輪截斷裝置110係可利用線性馬達130移動於Y方向。As shown in Fig. 7 (E-E' cross section of Fig. 3), a roller shutoff device 110 is disposed at a position on the substrate carry-out side 1R of the vapor cell 100, and the transferred mother substrate 90 is formed along the substrate. The adjacent position of the scribe groove in the Y direction (the side of the scribe groove) presses the cutting rollers 111 to 113, and provides a cutoff pressure in the Y direction of the substrate 2 to positively cut off. The roller shutoff device 110 is movable in the Y direction by the linear motor 130.

如第8圖(第3圖之F-F’截面)所示,於滾輪裝置110的基板搬出側1R之位置配置基板搬出裝置120,其係從母板90將單位顯示面板1個1個取出且將之傳送到下步驟。於基板搬出裝置120,設置上部導軌121,並於上部導軌121安裝有可移動於X方向之搬運機器人80。基板搬出裝置120,係可利用線性馬達130而移動於Y方向。As shown in FIG. 8 (F-F' cross section of FIG. 3), the substrate unloading device 120 is disposed at a position on the substrate carrying-out side 1R of the roller device 110, and one unit display panel is taken out from the mother board 90. And transfer it to the next step. The upper rail 121 is provided in the substrate unloading device 120, and the transport robot 80 movable in the X direction is attached to the upper rail 121. The substrate unloading device 120 can be moved in the Y direction by the linear motor 130.

搬運機器人80具有安裝有吸附墊82之板83、使板83旋轉之旋轉機構84、使板83升降之升降機構85、以及X軸驅動機構86。而搬運機器人80,吸附從母板90分割的1張單位顯示面板且將之移開到上方。並且一邊旋轉移開之單位顯示面板一邊移動於X軸方向,復利用線性馬達130移動於Y方向,且進行1個1個搬出之動作。將搬出之單位顯示面板收授到未圖示之下步驟,且進行下一個加工。The transport robot 80 has a plate 83 to which the adsorption pad 82 is attached, a rotation mechanism 84 that rotates the plate 83, an elevating mechanism 85 that elevates the plate 83, and an X-axis drive mechanism 86. The transport robot 80 sucks one unit display panel divided from the mother board 90 and moves it to the upper side. Further, while moving and moving in the X-axis direction while rotating the unit display panel, the linear motor 130 is moved in the Y direction, and one operation is performed one by one. The unit display panel that has been carried out is taken to a step not shown, and the next processing is performed.

於搬運機器人80之板83,復具備有鉤87及推桿(pusher)88,係於搬出中之單位顯示面板附著有廢料時,用以將此廢料去除之追加的截斷處理機構。The board 83 of the transport robot 80 is provided with a hook 87 and a pusher 88, and is an additional cut-off processing mechanism for removing the scrap when the unit display panel of the carry-out unit is attached with waste.

第9圖係表示鉤87及推桿88之追加的截斷處理動作圖。鉤87係能以固定在板83之支軸為中心進行轉動。如第9圖(a)所示,在使鉤87及推桿88回避到上方之狀態下,利用吸附墊82吸附單位顯示面板之第二基板G2(TFT側基板)。其次,如第9圖(b)所示,使鉤87進行作動,且使之與位於吸附面之相反側的第一基板G1之端的廢料接觸,並從下方支撐廢料。而如第9圖(c)所示,使推桿88進行作動且從上方按壓附著在第二基板G2的端之廢料。如此,藉由施加彎曲力矩在廢料,而使廢料確實地分割。Fig. 9 is a view showing an operation of cutting off the hooks 87 and the push rods 88. The hook 87 can be rotated about a support shaft fixed to the plate 83. As shown in FIG. 9( a ), the second substrate G2 (TFT side substrate) of the unit display panel is adsorbed by the adsorption pad 82 while the hook 87 and the push rod 88 are evaded upward. Next, as shown in Fig. 9(b), the hook 87 is actuated and brought into contact with the waste of the end of the first substrate G1 on the opposite side of the adsorption surface, and the scrap is supported from below. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 9(c), the pusher 88 is actuated and the waste adhered to the end of the second substrate G2 is pressed from above. In this way, the scrap is reliably divided by applying a bending moment to the scrap.

(劃線加工)(scored processing)

其次,就使用上述基板加工系統1之母板90的劃線加工之動作程序加以說明。在基板分割機構30(第5圖)中進行劃線加工,本發明主要係在劃線加工進行單位顯示面板的端子加工時所使用。Next, an operation procedure using the scribing process of the mother board 90 of the substrate processing system 1 described above will be described. The scribing process is performed in the substrate dividing mechanism 30 (Fig. 5), and the present invention is mainly used in the process of performing terminal processing on a unit display panel by scribing.

第10圖係表示依據本發明進行端子加工時之基本的加工程序之圖。如第10圖(a)所示,於母板90上之鄰接的2個單位顯示面板U1,U2之邊界部分,形成有包夾在全切割面Ca與端子切割面Cb之端子區域T。端子區域之寬度係1mm至3mm程度。利用切刀輪在此部分上下同時進行劃線加工,而進行露出端子區域T的貼合面(第一基板G1與第二基板G2之接合面)之加工。Figure 10 is a diagram showing the basic processing procedure for terminal processing in accordance with the present invention. As shown in Fig. 10(a), the boundary portion of the adjacent two unit display panels U1, U2 on the mother board 90 is formed with a terminal region T sandwiched between the full-cut surface Ca and the terminal cut surface Cb. The width of the terminal area is about 1 mm to 3 mm. The scribing wheel performs the scribing process on the upper and lower sides of the portion to perform the processing of exposing the bonding surface of the terminal region T (the bonding surface between the first substrate G1 and the second substrate G2).

從母板90取出單位顯示面板U1時,搬運機器人80係吸附於上側的基板面(第9圖),故將第二基板G2(TFT側基板)配置於上側,且將第一基板(CF側基板)配置於下側。此係設為使之吸附於單位顯示面板U1且從單位顯示面板U2移開時,端子區域T(第二基板G2側)來到廢料區域E(第一基板G1側)之上側,且廢料區域E附著於單位顯示面板U2之全切割面Ca,而容易從端子切割面Cb分割之故。When the unit display panel U1 is taken out from the mother board 90, the transfer robot 80 is attached to the upper substrate surface (Fig. 9). Therefore, the second substrate G2 (TFT side substrate) is placed on the upper side, and the first substrate (CF side) is placed. The substrate) is disposed on the lower side. When it is made to be adsorbed to the unit display panel U1 and removed from the unit display panel U2, the terminal area T (the second substrate G2 side) comes to the upper side of the scrap area E (the first substrate G1 side), and the waste area E adheres to the full-cut surface Ca of the unit display panel U2, and is easily separated from the terminal cut surface Cb.

再者,在上述基板加工系統1中,設為從母板90一個一個取出單位顯示面板時,在鄰接之兩個單位顯示面板中,藉由比全切割面Ca成為邊界部分之單位顯示面板先將端子切割面Cb成為邊界部分之單位顯示面板予以取出,使廢料區域E容易附著於全切割面Ca成為邊界部分之單位顯示面板的側。就此點後述如下。Further, in the above-described substrate processing system 1, when the unit display panel is taken out one by one from the mother board 90, the unit display panel which is a boundary portion with the full-cut surface Ca is adjacent to the two unit display panels adjacent to each other. The unit display panel in which the terminal cut surface Cb is a boundary portion is taken out, and the scrap region E is easily attached to the side of the unit display panel in which the full-cut surface Ca becomes a boundary portion. This point will be described later.

如第10圖(b)所示,首先,使劃線機構60之第二切刀輪W2,與第二基板G2之全切割面Ca的位置對準一致。並且,使劃線機構70之第一切刀輪W1,與第一基板G1之端子切割面Cb的位置對準一致。然後,以強的壓接力在兩方同時進行第一次劃線。此時,在端子區域T之附近沒發生應力,故可深深地伸展劃線溝。As shown in Fig. 10(b), first, the second cutter wheel W2 of the scribing mechanism 60 is aligned with the position of the full-cut surface Ca of the second substrate G2. Then, the first cutter wheel W1 of the scribing mechanism 70 is aligned with the position of the terminal cutting surface Cb of the first substrate G1. Then, the first scribe line is simultaneously performed on both sides with a strong crimping force. At this time, stress does not occur in the vicinity of the terminal region T, so that the groove can be deeply stretched.

形成有劃線溝之端子區域T的兩側為以密封材S1,S2所固定之區域,故劃線溝擴展結果,於端子切割面Cb之附近施加壓縮應力。The both sides of the terminal region T in which the scribe groove is formed are the regions fixed by the sealing members S1 and S2. Therefore, as a result of the scribe groove expansion, a compressive stress is applied in the vicinity of the terminal cut surface Cb.

接著,如第10圖(c)所示,使劃線機構70之第一切刀輪W1,與全切割面Ca之位置對準一致。再者,使劃線機構60之支撐滾輪W3,與第二基板G2對準一致。此時支撐滾輪W3係設為以從先形成有劃線溝之全切割面Ca的位置偏離之方式往旁邊移動,且不傷及劃線溝。然後,以比第一次還弱的壓接力進行第二次劃線加工。Next, as shown in Fig. 10(c), the first cutter wheel W1 of the scribing mechanism 70 is aligned with the position of the full-cut surface Ca. Furthermore, the support roller W3 of the scribing mechanism 60 is aligned with the second substrate G2. At this time, the support roller W3 is moved to the side so as to be deviated from the position of the full-cut surface Ca in which the scribe groove is formed first, and does not damage the scribe groove. Then, the second scribing process is performed with a weaker crimping force than the first time.

此時,第一基板G1的全切割面,係一邊抵抗應力一邊進行劃線加工,故難以使之深深地伸展,而劃線溝變淺。此部分原本最好是形成比端子切割面Cb還淺的劃線溝,故形成理想的劃線溝。At this time, the entire cut surface of the first substrate G1 is subjected to scribing processing while resisting stress, so that it is difficult to stretch it deeply, and the scribe line becomes shallow. It is preferable that this portion is formed into a scribe groove which is shallower than the terminal cutting surface Cb, so that an ideal scribe groove is formed.

然後,形成深的劃線溝與淺的劃線溝結果,藉由進行之後的蒸氣截斷(第6圖)及滾輪截斷(第7圖)之截斷處理,如第10圖(d)所示,確實地,使廢料區域E在附著於第一基板G1的全切割面Ca側之狀態下進行分割。Then, a deep scribe line and a shallow scribe groove result are formed, and the cutting process of the subsequent steam cut (Fig. 6) and the roll cut (Fig. 7) is performed, as shown in Fig. 10(d). Indeed, the scrap region E is divided in a state of being attached to the side of the full-cut surface Ca of the first substrate G1.

然後,附著在全切割面Ca之廢料區域E,透過鉤87及推桿88之追加的截斷處理動作(第9圖),從全切割面Ca確實地分割。Then, the scrap area E attached to the full-cut surface Ca is surely divided from the full-cut surface Ca by the additional cutting processing operation (Fig. 9) of the hook 87 and the push rod 88.

藉由以上的處理,從母板取下單位顯示面板,且將之移動到下步驟之前,廢料區域E可完全分離。By the above processing, the unit display panel is removed from the mother board, and before moving to the next step, the scrap area E can be completely separated.

以上就針對1個單位顯示面板之1的端子區域,單獨進行端子加工之情況作了說明。在實際的母板90中,複數張單位顯示面板縱橫排列。於各單位顯示面板的周圍,不僅包夾在端子切割面Cb與全切割面Ca之端子區域T,亦包含其他形狀的邊界。The above description has been made on the case where the terminal processing is performed separately for the terminal area of one of the unit display panels. In the actual motherboard 90, a plurality of unit display panels are arranged vertically and horizontally. Around the display panel of each unit, not only the terminal area T of the terminal cut surface Cb and the full cut surface Ca but also the boundary of other shapes are included.

在此種情況下,不是按1個個邊界進行加工,而可依在複數張邊界間進行交替加工之方式來均衡地加工。就此種情況以具體例加以說明。In this case, the processing is not performed on one boundary, but can be processed equally according to the alternate processing between the plurality of boundaries. This case will be explained by specific examples.

第11圖係就成為二端子面板之單位顯示面板在X方向排列成2列,在Y方向排列成4列之母板90,於Y方向進行劃線之例。此外,第12圖係於X方向進行劃線之例。Fig. 11 shows an example in which the unit display panel which is a two-terminal panel is arranged in two rows in the X direction, and the mother board 90 is arranged in four rows in the Y direction, and is scribed in the Y direction. Further, Fig. 12 is an example of scribing in the X direction.

首先,就先進行Y方向之劃線加以說明。在Y方向之劃線中,設為藉由以夾住裝置50夾住母板90之後端,使得在進行劃線加工後,於X方向不分離。First, the Y-direction line is first described. In the scribe line in the Y direction, it is assumed that the rear end of the mother board 90 is sandwiched by the chucking device 50 so that the scribe line is not separated in the X direction.

關於Y方向,如第11圖所示,就沿著母板90的中央部分之端子區域T,與左端附近之端子區域TL ,以及右端附近的全切割面TR 之3個邊界,進行劃線加工。其中,僅中央之端子區域T,成為包夾在端子切割面與全切割面之端子區域(可能產生廢料區域無法從端子切割面取下的缺失之端子區域)。Regarding the Y direction, as shown in Fig. 11, the terminal region T along the central portion of the mother board 90 is divided into three boundaries of the terminal region T L near the left end and the full-cut surface T R near the right end. Line processing. Among them, only the central terminal region T is a terminal region that is sandwiched between the terminal cutting surface and the full-cut surface (a missing terminal region where the scrap region cannot be removed from the terminal cutting surface).

此時,對中央之端子區域T進行第一次之強的劃線(設為Y1)。亦即,在第一基板G1的端子切割面與第二基板G2的全切割面進行強的劃線。接著,對左端附近之端子區域TL 進行第二次強的劃線(設為Y2)。接著,對右端附近之全切割面TR 進行第三次之強的劃線(設為Y3)。然後,最後對中央的端子區域T之第一基板的全切割面以弱的劃線進行第四次弱的劃線(設為Y4)。此時在第二基板G2之全切割面的旁邊,一邊以支撐滾輪按壓一邊進行劃線。At this time, the center terminal region T is subjected to the first strong scribe line (set to Y1). That is, the terminal cut surface of the first substrate G1 and the full cut surface of the second substrate G2 are strongly scribed. Next, the terminal region T L near the left end is subjected to a second strong scribe line (set to Y2). Next, the third-time strong scribe line (set to Y3) is performed on the full-cut surface T R near the right end. Then, finally, the full-cut surface of the first substrate of the central terminal region T is subjected to a fourth weak scribe line (set to Y4) with a weak scribe line. At this time, the side line is scribed by the support roller while being placed beside the full-cut surface of the second substrate G2.

亦即,於進行對中央的端子區域T之強的劃線加工後,先進行左端附近的端子區域TL 與右端附近的全切割面TR 之劃線,之後,再次進行對中央的端子區域T之弱的劃線加工,來交替地進行加工。In other words, after performing the scribing process on the center terminal region T, the terminal region T L near the left end and the full-cut surface T R near the right end are first scribed, and then the center terminal region is again performed. The weak scribing process of T is performed alternately.

透過以上的程序,結束Y方向之劃線時,接著進行X方向之劃線。When the scribe line in the Y direction is completed by the above procedure, the X-direction scribe line is next performed.

就X方向而言,如第12圖所示,對於母板90之前端附近的全切割面TF ,與在基板中央而包夾在全切割面與端子切割面之3處所的端子區域T,以及在後端附近之端子區域TB 進行劃線加工。In the X direction, as shown in Fig. 12, the full-cut surface T F near the front end of the mother board 90 and the terminal area T sandwiched between the full-cut surface and the terminal cut surface at the center of the substrate, And scribing the terminal area T B near the rear end.

此時,就X方向之3個端子區域T,亦與之前相同,若先對第一基板G1的端子切割面與第二基板G2之全切割面強力地進行劃線,之後輕輕地對第一基板G1的全切割面進行劃線,便可確實地取出單位顯示面板。具體而言如第12圖所示,設為按照X2(第一基板G1的端子切割面與第二基板G2之全切割面)、X3(第一基板G1之全切割面)、X4(第一基板G1之端子切割面與第二基板G2之全切割面)、X5(第一基板G1之全切割面)、X6(第一基板G1之端子切割面與第二基板G2之全切割面)、X7(第一基板G1之全切割面)之順序進行加工。此外,進行X3、X5、X7之加工時,一邊以支撐滾輪按壓第二基板G2之全切割面的旁邊一邊進行劃線。At this time, the three terminal regions T in the X direction are the same as before, and the terminal cutting surface of the first substrate G1 and the full cutting surface of the second substrate G2 are strongly scribed first, and then gently The unit display panel can be surely taken out by scribing the full-cut surface of the substrate G1. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 12, X2 (the full cut surface of the terminal cut surface of the first substrate G1 and the second substrate G2), X3 (the full cut surface of the first substrate G1), and X4 (first) are used. The terminal cut surface of the substrate G1 and the full cut surface of the second substrate G2), X5 (the full cut surface of the first substrate G1), X6 (the terminal cut surface of the first substrate G1 and the full cut surface of the second substrate G2), The order of X7 (the full cut surface of the first substrate G1) is processed. Further, when the processing of X3, X5, and X7 is performed, the scribing is performed while pressing the side of the full-cut surface of the second substrate G2 with the support roller.

(單位顯示面板的取出順序)(The order in which the unit display panel is taken out)

其次,就在母板進行劃線加工而取出所分割的單位顯示面板時之取出順序加以說明。Next, the order of taking out when the mother board is subjected to scribing processing and taking out the divided unit display panel will be described.

例如如第10圖所示,從具有包夾在端子切割面Cb與全切割面Ca的端子區域T之母板,1個1個取出單位顯示面板時,於鄰接之2個單位顯示面板中,比起全切割面Ca成為邊界部分之單位顯示面板U2,先將端子切割面Cb成為邊界部分之單位顯示面板U1予以取出,且重要的是使廢料區域E,容易附著於全切割面Ca成為邊界部分的單位顯示面板U2之側。改變此順序時,廢料區域E附著於端子切割面Cb側而殘留。因此,從母板取出單位顯示面板時,取出之順序變為重要。For example, as shown in Fig. 10, when a unit display panel is taken out from one of the mother boards having the terminal area T of the terminal cutting surface Cb and the full-cut surface Ca, the adjacent two unit display panels are The unit display panel U2 which is the boundary portion of the full-cut surface Ca is taken out, and the unit display panel U1 which takes the terminal cut surface Cb as a boundary portion is taken out first, and it is important that the scrap area E is easily attached to the full-cut surface Ca to become a boundary. Part of the unit displays the side of panel U2. When this order is changed, the scrap area E adheres to the terminal cut surface Cb side and remains. Therefore, when the unit display panel is taken out from the motherboard, the order of taking out becomes important.

第13圖係就單位顯示面板在X方向排列為2列,在Y方向排列為4列之2端子面板,表示單位顯示面板的取出順序之圖。Fig. 13 is a view showing a unit display panel in which two display units are arranged in two rows in the X direction and four rows in the Y direction, and the drawing order of the unit display panel is shown.

單位顯示面板(1),係相對於與鄰接之單位顯示面板(2)(3)之邊界(在圖中以○記號表示),單位顯示面板(1)之端子切割面Cb成為邊界部分。因此,必須首先取出單位顯示面板(1)。The unit display panel (1) is a boundary portion with respect to the adjacent unit display panel (2) (3) (indicated by a ○ mark in the drawing), and the terminal cutting surface Cb of the unit display panel (1) is a boundary portion. Therefore, the unit display panel (1) must be taken out first.

在取出單位顯示面板(1)之狀態下,於單位顯示面板(2)與鄰接之單位顯示面板(4)之邊界,端子切割面Cb成為邊界。此外,單位顯示面板(3)相對於與鄰接之單位顯示面板(4)(5)之邊界,端子切割面Cb變為邊界。此時只要取出單位顯示面板(2)(3)的其中之一即可,而從靠近母板的前端之側取出可比較容易進行一方向的搬出,故先取出單位顯示面板(2)。In the state where the unit display panel (1) is taken out, the terminal cut surface Cb becomes a boundary between the unit display panel (2) and the adjacent unit display panel (4). Further, the unit display panel (3) becomes a boundary with respect to the boundary with the adjacent unit display panel (4) (5). In this case, it is only necessary to take out one of the unit display panels (2) and (3), and it is relatively easy to carry out the removal from one side of the front end of the mother board, so that the unit display panel (2) is taken out first.

在取出單位顯示面板(1)(2)之狀態下,在單位顯示面板(3)與鄰接之單位顯示面板(4)(5)的邊界,端子切割面Cb成為邊界。因此,其次取出單位顯示面板(3)。以下相同,在第13圖中依照附在各單位顯示面板的號碼之數字少的順序(1)、(2)…(8),取出單位顯示面板。In the state where the unit display panel (1) (2) is taken out, the terminal cut surface Cb is bordered at the boundary between the unit display panel (3) and the adjacent unit display panel (4) (5). Therefore, the unit display panel (3) is taken out second. In the same manner as described below, in the order of (1), (2), ... (8) in which the number attached to each unit display panel is small, the unit display panel is taken out.

第14圖係表示關於所取出之各單位基板(1)至(8)的廢料區域之附著狀態的圖。Fig. 14 is a view showing the state of adhesion of the scrap regions of the respective unit substrates (1) to (8) taken out.

就任一的單位顯示面板亦可依廢料不附著於端子切割面Cb之方式予以取出。因此,即使廢料附著在單位顯示面板,亦可藉由使用鉤87及推桿88後之追加的截斷處理,確實地去除廢料。Any unit display panel can also be taken out in such a manner that the waste does not adhere to the terminal cutting surface Cb. Therefore, even if the scrap adheres to the unit display panel, the scrap can be surely removed by the additional cutting process after the hook 87 and the pusher 88 are used.

以上係關於二端子面板,而關於一端子面板與三端子面板(第15圖)亦相同。再者,關於四端子面板(第16圖),取出順序則不成問題。The above is about the two-terminal panel, and the same is true for one terminal panel and three-terminal panel (Fig. 15). Furthermore, regarding the four-terminal panel (Fig. 16), the order of taking out is not a problem.
