(2) providing first and second stop boards;
(3) moving the first stop board to contact an upper surface of the glass substrate and moving the second stop board to contact a lower surface of the glass substrate; and
(4) carrying out an edge polishing operation;
wherein in step (2), the first and second stop boards are in the form of a flat plate and have a width greater than width of the glass substrate;
wherein in step (3), the first and second stop boards are perpendicular to the glass substrate after the movements;
wherein in step (2), the first and second stop boards have ends facing the glass substrate and provided respectively with first and second cushioning bodies for contacting the glass substrate;
wherein the first and second cushioning bodies have a cross section that is wedge-shaped and are made of an elastic material;
wherein the first and second cushioning bodies are made a rubber material;
wherein in step (3), the first and second stop boards are located adjacent to the grindstone after the movements;
wherein step (4) includes spraying water mist and then rotating the grindstone to polish the glass substrate, and at the same time discharging the water mist and chips generated by the polishing; and
wherein the display panel is a display panel of an organic light-emitting device.
