Substrate buffer clamp

Abstract

A substrate clamp includes a bar supporter having a end for connecting and fixing a substrate bearing apparatus; an arm extending from another end of the bar supporter and profiling an angle with the side wall of the bar supporter; and a buffer layer arranged on the side wall of the bar supporter. The present substrate clamp can effectively decrease the split problem of the glass substrate causing from the shocking and sliding in the clamping or moving of the manufacturing processes and enhance the product yield.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention generally relates to a substrate bearing apparatus, and more particularly relates to a clamp used in a substrate bearing apparatus in the manufacturing processes of the display panel. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] In the manufacturing processes of the display panel, the split problem of the glass substrate or the panel is always an important one of the problems need to overcome. Once the glass substrate or the panel is splitting, the glass substrate or the panel cannot be usable or reworked. Especially, accordingly the requirement of the trend of large-scale and thin film Liquid crystal display panel (LCD panel), the difficulty of the related manufacturing technology becomes higher, such as the control of the thin cell gap, stacking and aligning of the panel, the movement and position of the large-scale panel, and the wide view problem, so as the splitting probability is increas...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006] One of objects of the present invention is to provide a substrate clamp that can effectively decrease the split problem of the glass substrate causing from the shocking and sliding because of the clamping or moving in the manufacturing processes.

[0007] In order to improve the damage problem of the substrate bearing apparatus and the glass substrate causing from the hitting of the substrate clamp, one of objects of the present invention is to provide a substrate clamp that utilize a buffer material in the contacting area between the substrate clamp and the glass substrate to reduce the hitting force therebetween so as to substantially decrease the probability of the spilt of the glass substrate.

Problems solved by technology

Once the glass substrate or the panel is splitting, the glass substrate or the panel cannot be usable or reworked.

Especially, accordingly the requirement of the trend of large-scale and thin film Liquid crystal display panel (LCD panel), the difficulty of the related manufacturing technology becomes higher, such as the control of the thin cell gap, stacking and aligning of the panel, the movement and position of the large-scale panel, and the wide view problem, so as the splitting probability is increasing and the yield is decreasing.
