Abstract

A method of manufacturing a display device includes preparing a multilayout display panel which has a structure of a first substrate and a second substrate which are bonded to each other and is able to be cut into a plurality of products, scribing the first substrate, bending and breaking the scribed first substrate, performing thinning on the second substrate and the broken first substrate by chemical polishing, scribing the second substrate which is subjected to chemical polishing, and bending and breaking the scribed second substrate.

Claims (27)

1. A method of manufacturing a display device comprising:

preparing a multilayout display panel to be divided into a plurality of products, the multilayout display panel having a structure of a first substrate and a second substrate being bonded to each other;

scribing the first substrate to form a first notch on the first substrate;

bending and breaking the scribed first substrate at the first notch;

performing thinning on the second substrate and the broken first substrate by chemical polishing to widen the first notch;

scribing the second substrate that has been subjected to the chemical polishing to form a second notch on the second substrate; and

bending the scribed second substrate and the scribed first substrate that has been subjected to the chemical polishing to break the scribed second substrate, wherein the scribed second substrate and the scribed first substrate are bent in a direction in which the second notch becomes wider and the widened first notch becomes narrower.

2. The method of manufacturing a display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first substrate and the second substrate are glass substrates.

3. The method of manufacturing a display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the multilayout display panel has a seal portion between the first substrate and the second substrate, which is formed of sealant and is for sealing the plurality of products.

4. The method of manufacturing a display device according to claim 3 , wherein

the seal portion surrounds a circumference of the entirety of the plurality of products.

5. The method of manufacturing a display device according to claim 3 , wherein

the seal portion seals each of the products.

6. The method of manufacturing a display device according to claim 5 , wherein

the seal portion has a shared portion which is shared so as to seal products which are adjacent to each other.

7. The method of manufacturing a display device according to claim 5 , wherein

the seal portion has portions which are disposed with a gap for sealing the adjacent products individually.

8. The method of manufacturing a display device according to claim 6 , wherein

a position of a scribing line is set to overlap the shared portion in at least one of the scribing of the first substrate and the scribing of the second substrate.

9. The method of manufacturing a display device according to claim 7 , wherein

a position of a scribing line is set to overlap an area corresponding to the gap in at least one of the scribing of the first substrate and the scribing of the second substrate.

10. The method of manufacturing a display device according to claim 7 , wherein

a first scribing line has a position which is set to overlap the area corresponding to the gap in the scribing of the first substrate,

a second scribing line and a third scribing line have positions which are set to overlap the area corresponding to the gap in the scribing of the second substrate, and

the position of the second scribing line overlaps the first scribing line.
