Abstract

An apparatus for transferring an electronic component is configured to transfer an electronic component on a flexible carrier to a target substrate. The apparatus includes a first frame, a second frame, an abutment module, an actuator, and a negative pressure generating device. The abutment module includes an abutting component and a guide. The guide guides a movement of the abutting component. The actuator actuates the abutment module so that the abutting component and the guide are respectively moved between a start position and an end position of an abutment path. The negative pressure generating device is pumped through the abutment module. When the abutment module abuts against the flexible carrier, a negative pressure is generated between the abutment module and the flexible carrier by the negative pressure generating device. The abutting component and the guide are moved simultaneously in at least a portion of the abutment path.

Claims (11)

1. A method for transferring an electronic component, the method comprising:

providing a flexible carrier, wherein an electronic component is carried on a surface of the flexible carrier;

providing a target substrate;

causing the surface of the flexible carrier with the electronic component to be disposed opposite to the target substrate;

providing a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface respectively moving toward a surface of the flexible carrier without carrying the electronic component, wherein an area of the first abutting surface is greater than an area of the second abutting surface;

moving the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface so that at least the second abutting surface contacts the surface of the flexible carrier without carrying the electronic component, wherein the electronic component abuts against the target substrate, and a space is formed between the flexible carrier and the first abutting surface;

a negative pressure is generated in the space; and

causing the second abutting surface to leave the flexible carrier.

2. The method for transferring the electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface simultaneously contact the flexible carrier, the electronic component abuts against the target substrate, and the first abutting surface leaves the flexible carrier first.

3. The method for transferring the electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the second abutting surface leaves the flexible carrier at the same time when the negative pressure is generated.

4. A manufacturing method of a light-emitting diode panel, the method comprising using the method according to claim 1 to transfer a light-emitting diode to a panel.
