A method for processing a COF carrier tape, comprising the steps of:

Providing a COF carrier tape processing apparatus for driving a COF carrier tape to be processed to move from a first set of rollers of the COF carrier tape processing apparatus to a direction of the second set of rollers to a COF carrier tape to be processed a reinforcing region of a COF substrate corresponding to a rubber coating portion of the COF carrier processing device, wherein the rubberizing portion applies a rubber coating to the reinforcing region;

And continuing to move the COF carrier tape to be processed, and a reinforcing region of the COF substrate coated with the rubber material corresponds to a reinforcing portion of the COF carrier tape processing device, and the reinforcing portion is disposed at A reinforcing plate is formed on the reinforcing region.
The method of processing a COF carrier tape according to claim 15, wherein the step of "forming a reinforcing plate on the reinforcing region by the reinforcing portion" comprises:

The crimping member driving the reinforcing portion moves in a first direction such that the crimping surface of the crimping member presses against the COF substrate and simultaneously moves the first set of rollers to make a portion of the COF The substrate is folded, and the folded portion of the COF substrate forms a reinforcing plate, and one end of the reinforcing plate is fixed on the COF substrate;

The moving COF carrier tape is further moved such that the reinforcing plate moves to the second set of rollers, and the reinforcing plate is pressed against the reinforcing region by the second set of rollers.
The method of processing a COF carrier tape according to claim 15, wherein the step of "forming a reinforcing plate on the reinforcing region by the reinforcing portion" comprises:

The engaging member that drives the reinforcing portion carrying the reinforcing plate moves in the first direction, and the reinforcing plate is attached to the reinforcing portion.
A method of processing a COF carrier tape according to any of claims 15-17, further comprising the steps of:

And continuing to move the COF carrier tape to be processed until a reinforcing region formed with the reinforcing plate corresponds to a nip portion of the COF carrier tape processing device, and driving two opposite pressures of the nip portion The ply plate is moved in the first direction to press the reinforcing plate against the reinforcing zone by the opposite two plywood plates.
