Apparatus and method for fabricating liquid crystal display panel
View Patent ↗An apparatus and method for fabricating a liquid crystal display panel are disclosed. In case of the single mode that liquid crystal display panels are fabricated with the same size on a large glass substrate, defective unit liquid crystal display panels are kept and discarded not to proceed with a follow-up process. Thus, a material waste is restrained and a yield can be improved. Meanwhile, in case of the multi-mode that liquid crystal display panels are fabricated with difference sizes on a large glass substrate, sub-models are kept, and then after completing the process for the main models, a follow-up process if performed on the sub-models. Thus, use efficiency of the glass substrate can be maximized to improve a productivity and a unit cost of the product can be reduced.
1. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display panel comprising:
determining whether a liquid crystal display panel is a single mode or a multi-mode;
for a single mode panel, determining whether a cut unit liquid crystal display panel is non-defective or defective;
sorting out any non-defective unit liquid crystal display panel;
grinding a marginal portion of any non-defective unit liquid crystal display panel;
finally checking the cut section of the non-defective unit liquid crystal display panel;
determining whether the cut unit liquid crystal display panel is a main model or a sub-model of the multi-mode;
grinding a marginal portion of the unit liquid crystal display panel of the main model;
finally checking the cut section of the unit liquid crystal display panel of the main model;
holding the unit liquid crystal display panel of the sub-model in a buffering cassette;
determining whether the processing of the main model has been completed;
grinding a marginal portion of the unit liquid crystal display panel of the sub-model if the processing of the main model has been completed; and
finally checking the cut section of the unit liquid crystal display panel of the sub-model.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein unit liquid crystal display panels in the single mode have substantially the same size.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein unit liquid crystal panels in the multi-mode have at least two different sizes.
4. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display panel comprising:
determining a mode of a liquid crystal display panel as one of a single mode or a multi-mode;
for a single panel, determining whether a cut unit liquid crystal display panel is non-defective or defective;
sorting out any non-defective unit liquid crystal display panel;
grinding a marginal portion of any non-defective unit liquid crystal display panel;
finally checking the non-defective unit liquid crystal display panel;
for a multi-mode panel, determining a model of the cut unit liquid crystal display panel is one of a main model or a sub-model;
for a main model, determining whether a cut unit liquid crystal display panel is non-defective or defective;
sorting out and discarding any defective unit liquid crystal display panel of the main model;
grinding a marginal portion of the non-defective unit liquid crystal display panel of the main model;
finally checking the non-defective unit liquid crystal display panel of the main model;
holding the unit liquid crystal display panel of the sub-model in a buffering cassette;
determining whether the processing of the main model has been completed;
for a sub model, determining whether a cut unit liquid crystal display panel of the is non-defective or defective if the processing of the main model has been completed;
sorting out and discarding any defective unit liquid crystal display panels of the sub model;
grinding a marginal portion of the non-defective unit liquid crystal display panel of the sub-model; and
finally checking the unit liquid crystal display panel of the sub-model.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein unit liquid crystal display panels in the single mode have substantially the same size.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein unit liquid crystal panels in the multi-mode have at least two different sizes.
7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the defective liquid crystal display panels of the single mode are collected in a second buffering cassette.
