Apparatus for manufacturing display device and method for manufacturing display device using the same
Provided is an apparatus for manufacturing a display device and a method for manufacturing the display device. The apparatus for manufacturing a display device comprises a jig having a seating surface that is formed to be bent at least partly and on which a target object is seated, a gasket covering the seating surface at least partly, and a roller pressing the target object.
1. An apparatus for manufacturing a display device, comprising:
a jig having a seating surface;
a gasket covering the seating surface at least partly; and
a roller,
wherein the jig has a curved portion.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the seating surface has a concave or convex shape.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the jig comprises accommodation grooves formed on the seating surface that accommodates a part of the gasket.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the gasket comprises one material selected from the group including silicon, rubber, and flexible synthetic resin.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the gasket comprises:
a sealing portion with an opening,
wherein the opening exposes the seating surface.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a step height between an upper surface of the sealing portion and the seating surface ranges from 0.5 mm to 3 mm.
7. The apparatus of claim 5 , further comprising:
a suction pump,
wherein the jig includes suction ports formed in the seating surface, and
the suction ports are connected to the suction pump.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the suction ports are arranged on areas that overlap the opening.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the gasket comprises:
a sealing portion; and
a bottom portion,
wherein the bottom portion is thinner than the sealing portion.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the gasket comprises round portions.
11. A method for manufacturing a display device, comprising:
preparing a panel member that includes a cover window having a curved surface and an adhesive layer;
arranging the cover window on a seating surface of a jig on which a gasket is installed;
forming a negative pressure between the cover window and the seating surface;
arranging the panel member including the adhesive layer on the cover window; and
pressing the cover window and the panel member on each other by a roller.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the jig comprises accommodation grooves formed on the seating surface that accommodates a part of the gasket.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the gasket comprises one material selected from the group including silicon, rubber, and flexible synthetic resin.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the gasket comprises:
a sealing portion with an opening, and
wherein the opening exposes the seating surface.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the cover window comprises one of a glass material and a plastic material.
16. The method of claim 11 , wherein a pressure the roller applies between the cover window and the panel member ranges from 0.3 Mpa to 0.5 Mpa.
17. The method of claim 11 , wherein a shape of the seating surface substantially matches the cover window.
18. The method of claim 11 , wherein a size of the panel member is different from a size of the cover window.
19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the panel member comprises one of a display panel and a touch panel.
20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the panel member is flexible.
