Description

201142410 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於基板貼合系統,特別是關於謀求縮短直 到貼合結束爲止的時間’同時極力減少在系統中之利用機 械臂的基板的遞送之基板貼合系統。 【先前技術】 於液晶顯示面板之製造,有著預先於一方基板滴下液 晶’使設有透明電極或薄膜電晶體陣列之2枚玻璃基板具 有數A m程度之非常接近的間隔,而以設在基板周緣部的 黏接劑(以下也稱爲密封劑)貼合(以後,將貼合後之基 板稱爲液晶面板),於藉其形成的空間密封液晶的工程。 於此液晶之密封,例如有將液晶滴下至以不設注入口 的方式把密封劑描繪成封閉圖案的下基板上,於真空室內 使被形成TFT (薄膜電晶體;Thin Film Transistor)或彩 色濾光片等之上基板之TFT或彩色濾光片等被形成的面對 向配置,使上下基板接近而貼合等方法。爲了將基板搬入 /搬出此真空室而設有預備室,使真空室內成爲與預備室 相同的氛圍而進行基板的搬進搬出之技術已揭示於特開 2001 -305563號公報。又,於特開200 1 -305 5 63號公報,係 爲上基板與下基板係載置於搬送治具,由預備室往貼合室 搬送於輥輸送帶上而分別被收授至上工作台與下工作台的 構成。在此方式,於搬送治具搭載上下基板時’成爲以機 械手(robot hand )設置於搬送治具。此外,往工作台的 -5- 201142410 基板的收授,也是在把上基板保持於上工作台後,把下基 板由搬送治具抬起,使搬送治具退避至預備室後設置於下 工作台上的構成。 此外,於特開2003-0 1 5 1 0 1號公報,揭示著使下基板 由第1裝載室往間隔件散布裝置、密封材塗布裝置、液晶 注入裝置、第1預備整列裝置、組裝裝置搬送,而使上基 板由第2裝載室經第2預備整列室經預備室搬送至前述組裝 裝置,在組裝裝置貼合2枚基板後,經過密封材硬化裝置 、熱處理裝置、基板切斷裝置而將基板送至卸載裝置的系 統。 在前述特開200 1 -305563號公報,於液晶基板組裝系 統使基板於供貼合的貼合室進行基板的搬進搬出時,爲使 預備室與真空室內成爲相同氛圍,將貼合的2枚基板搬入 一方側之預備室內,結束2枚基板的貼合後由設於另一方 的預備室排出,所以裝置的配置很長而必須要有大的設置 面積。此外,必須要使分別之預備室及貼合室成爲真空狀 態,所以必須配置相應的裝置,而且抽真空至真空狀態爲 止的時間很長要縮短生產節拍有其限度。此外,對於與其 前步驟之關係並沒有任何記載。進而,於由預備室往貼合 室之上下基板的搬送使用搬送治具,所以會有往搬送治具 進行基板的收授等很花時間的課題。 此外,在特開2003 -0 1 5 1 0 1號公報,僅記載著以移動 手段使基板移動於各裝置間而已,使用甚麼樣的搬送手段 搬送基板,於各裝置收授之記載並沒有任何揭示。 -6- 201142410 然而’在把上基板搬送至貼合裝置的場合,亦有使 TFT或彩色濾光片形成面朝上使用輥輸送帶進行搬送的情 形。在此場合,搬入貼合裝置時,有必要使上基板反轉。 於特開平6-485 54號公報揭示著保持實裝電子零件的 基板’旋轉180度進行反轉的裝置。在此裝置係使保持基 板的框之中央部旋轉而進行反轉的構成。 此外’在特開2006-2271 8 1號公報,揭示著爲了照射 UV使基板間的密封劑硬化,反轉貼合後的面板,照射uV 光之用的反轉裝置。 在前述特開平6-48 5 54號公報,爲以框夾住基板予以 保持’使該框的中央部迴轉1 80度而使基板反轉的構造。 同樣在特開2006-227 1 8 1號公報,揭示著爲了在液晶 面板貼合後密封劑尙未硬化的狀態使其反轉,而在按壓兩 面板間的狀態進行反轉。在此反轉方法也與專利文獻〗同 樣,使用在空中使基板旋轉180度的方法。因此,以此方 法組裝面板之前(貼合前)的狀態使基板反轉的話,周圍 空氣會混亂,捲起落於搬送線等的粉塵,而該粉塵掉入液 晶面板內而成爲動作不良或品質降低的重要原因。 【發明內容】 本發明之目的在於提供爲了謀求系統全體的小型化, 極力減少根據機械手之基板收授處所,使往根據輥輸送帶 的搬送以及被搬送的基板之往被設於各個裝置的工作台上 的載置可以精度佳地進行,可以實現縮短位置對準的時間 201142410 或上下基板之往貼合室搬入所花費的時間之系統。進而, 本發明之其他目的,在於提供使上基板反轉時極力抑制粉 塵等的捲起之基板反轉裝置及使用彼之液晶面板貼合系統 〇 由搬送下基板的輥輸送帶或皮帶輸送帶所構成的第1 搬送線、對前述第1搬送線上塗佈密封劑之糊狀物塗佈機 、被配置於前述糊狀物塗佈機的下游側之短路用電極形成 用塗佈機、滴下液晶材之液晶滴下裝置、以及檢查下基板 的狀態之第1檢查室被串聯配置;於第1搬送線上倂列地形 成搬送上基板之輥輸送帶或皮帶輸送帶所構成的第2搬送 線,在前述第1搬送線與第2搬送線之合流點,設有被連接 於第1搬送線的輥輸送帶或皮帶輸送帶所構成的第3搬送線 ,於前述第3搬送線上被串聯地配置移載室、貼合裝置、 UV照射室及面板檢查室。 此外,於貼合室約略同時搬入上下基板的構成,在輥 輸送帶或皮帶輸送帶上於搬送中補正下基板之傾斜。 塗布供基板的貼合之密封劑的塗布裝置起使貼合裝置 或密封劑硬化裝置(UV照射裝置)等約略配置爲直列, 同時於下基板或完成貼合的液晶面板的搬送使用左右分別 驅動的方式之輥輸送帶進行搬送,可以在各裝置之前補正 基板的傾斜,而且於貼合裝置或貼合室可以同時地搬入上 下基板,所以可以大幅縮短液晶面板的製作時間,而且在 裝置之前進行基板的傾斜補正,可以提高塗布或貼合精度 -8- 201142410 進而此外,搬送上基板的輥輸送帶的終端部側的上基 板反轉裝置,係由使架台上朝上被搬送來的上基板在朝上 的狀態由輥輸送帶承接的具備複數之指部的活動梁( Walking Beam),及於指部具備複數真空吸附墊,活動梁 係於一端側之上下移動構件與另一端側之水平移動部所構 成,使設於架台上的移動用柱藉由前述上下移動構件上下 移動而水平移動部沿著線性導軌於水平方向上移動而反轉 基板的構成。 此外,使上基板於搬送板上保持朝上而搬送於輥輸送 帶上,在上基板反轉裝置上連結前述板之連結機構,與設 於構成上基板反轉裝置的反轉機構之迴轉腕的連結部,使 迴轉腕半迴轉而使搬送板與被保持於彼之上基板反轉的構 成。 藉由作成上述構成可以在反轉時使基板不描繪圓弧而 反轉180度,而採使基板之一端部爲垂直狀態,使另一端 部水平移動的動作之反轉,所以可使基板反轉時描繪的移 動軌跡的面積爲最小,因基板反轉而產生的空氣騷動的面 積變少,可極力抑制揚塵的發生。此外,可以抑制裝置的 大型化。亦即,於使用此基板反轉裝置的系統,可以防止 塵埃落下至其他裝置,使貼合的液晶面板的精度降低,可 謀求裝置的小型化。 【實施方式】 以下,根據圖面說明本發明之液晶面板組裝系統之一 -9- 201142410 實施例。 圖1係顯示根據本發明的液晶面板組裝系統之全體配 置之平面圖,1爲下基板,2爲上基板’ 3爲基板搬入機械 臂,4爲整列機構,5爲第1搬送線(主線),6爲第2搬送 線(側線),7爲糊狀物塗布機(密封劑分配器),8爲短 路用電極形成用塗布機,9爲液晶滴下裝置’ 10爲第1檢查

等的上基板2之第2搬送線(側線)6。搬送被洗淨的上基 板2及下基板1的第1搬送線5及第2搬送線6,以輥輸送帶或 皮帶輸送帶構成。輥輸送帶或皮帶輸送帶,被配置爲對基 板移動方向分割爲左右方向,以可以分別以不同的驅動機 構來驅動控制的方式被構成。以下,說明以輥輸送帶來構 成。上下基板分別被搬送於輥輸送帶上。 第1搬送線5之前,設有把被洗淨的下基板1搬入此系 統的基板搬入機械臂3,與由基板搬入機械臂3使下基板1 整齊排列之用的整列機構4。下基板1由整列機構4遞送至 第1搬送線5,於第1搬送線5上,下基板1使貼合面朝上移 動於箭頭方向。於此第1搬送線5的途中,設有在下基板1 上將密封劑(黏接劑)塗布爲閉環狀之糊狀物塗布機(密 -10- 201142410 封劑分配器)7。與此糊狀物塗布機7排成直線,被配置有 將導電性糊點狀塗布的短路用電極形成用塗布機8。 進而,於此短路用電極形成用塗布機8的下游側,被 配置著在如前所述塗布的密封劑之環內使液晶滴下所要量 的液晶滴下裝置9。於此液晶滴下裝置9的下游側,被配置 著檢查被塗布的密封劑或滴下的液晶材等的狀態之第1檢 查室10。在第1檢查室10檢査的下基板1,藉由設於移載室 12的機械手13,遞送往設於前處理室14與第2檢查室18之 間的第3搬送線20。此第3搬送線20,也以輥輸送帶形成。 藉由此第3搬送線20,首先使下基板1被搬入基板搬入側的 前處理室14內。進而,以第2搬送線6搬送來的上基板2, 在基板反轉裝置U被表背反轉後,藉由設於移載室12的機 械手13,被搬入前處理室14內。關於此基板反轉裝置11將 於稍後詳述。 於圖6顯示說明由前處理室14將上下基板搬入基板貼 合室15進行貼合,於後處理室16搬出貼合的基板的狀態之 圖。 於前處理室14,也設有保持上基板2而搬入基板貼合 室(真空室)15的機械手62,及搬送下基板1的輥輸送帶 6 1。此外,於此前處理室1 4,設有使輥輸送帶6 1伸縮之輸 送帶伸縮機構60,係以打開設於前處理室14與基板貼合室 15之間的閘閥69時,可以藉由此輸送帶伸縮機構60’使輥 輸送帶61越過閘閥69而接續基板貼合室15的輥輸送帶66的 方式構成的。 -11 - 201142410 上下兩基板1、2被搬入前處理室14時,關閉設於前處 理室1 4的基板搬入側的入口之閘閥(未圖示),前處理室 14內,藉由未圖示的真空泵,排氣至特定的真空度( 150Torr程度,以下稱之爲半真空)爲止。前處理室14內 成爲半真空狀態時,打開與基板貼合室1 5之間的閘閥69, 輥輸送帶61藉由輸送帶伸縮機構60伸往基板貼合室15側而 接續於基板貼合室15之輥輸送帶66。於此輥輸送帶61,66 上使下基板1被搬入基板貼合室15內,此外,藉由機械手 62,使上基板2被搬入基板貼合室15內。此時,基板貼合 室15內成爲半真空狀態。於此前處理室14,設有成爲接取 下基板1而搬送至基板貼合室15的下工作台65的第3搬送線 20之輥輸送帶61,與接取上基板2而遞送至基板貼合室15 的上工作台(加壓板)21之用的機械手62。又,基板貼合 室1 5之基板1、2的接取之細節於稍後敘述。 結束在基板貼合室15之兩基板1、2的遞送,於該上下 兩工作台21、65分別保持這些上下基板1、2時,由前處理 室14伸展的輥輸送帶61縮回前處理室14內,前述閘閥69被 關閉。其後,基板貼合室1 5內被排氣至高真空(約5 X 1 〇_3 T〇rr )。其後,進行上下兩基板1、2之位置對準同時使上 工作台2 1下降而實行上基板2之往下基板1的貼合。此貼合 結束時,基板貼合室1 5內回到半真空,基板貼合室1 5與後 處理室16之間的閘閥70被開放。此時,後處理室16成爲半 真空狀態。 於後處理室16,也設有輸送帶伸縮機構68,在與基板 -12- 201142410 貼合室15之間的閘閥70打開時,設於後處理室16的此輸送 帶伸縮機構68動作,輥輸送帶67由後處理室16伸展而接續 於基板貼合室15之輥輸送帶66。於後處理室16被搬入上下 基板1、2被貼合而成的貼合基板(亦即,液晶面板)19後 ,輥輸送帶縮回後處理室16內,後處理室16與基板貼合室 1 5之間的閘閥被關閉,使後處理室1 6內爲大氣狀態。後處 理室1 6內成爲大氣狀態時,後處理室1 6與紫外線照射室1 7 之間的閘閥(未圖示)被打開,藉由設於後處理室1 6的輸 送帶伸縮機構(未圖示),被接續於紫外線照射室17的輥 輸送帶。其後,在相關的輥輸送帶上使液晶面板19被搬入 紫外線照射室1 7內,在該處對密封劑照射紫外線使密封劑 硬化。密封劑的硬化結束時,液晶面板1 9被搬送於輥輸送 帶上,被運往第2檢查室(面板檢查室)18進行其檢查。 如此,使各處理室14〜18排列爲幾乎直線狀,一部分 使用機械手,但幾乎全體的基板搬送是使用輥輸送帶的構 成,所以可以使裝置的設置面積抑制於最小限度。 圖2係顯示在圖1之基板貼合室15內之上工作台的具體 例之槪略構成之圖,該圖(a)顯示黏接栓(黏接墊)方 式,該圖(b)顯示於上工作台面安裝黏接片的方式,21 爲上工作台,22爲黏接墊安裝板,23爲黏接栓(黏接墊) ’ 24爲黏接構件,25爲基底板,26爲彈性體,27爲按壓栓 安裝構件’ 28爲按壓栓,29爲彈性構件,30爲黏接片,又 ’對應於圖1的部分賦予同一符號而省略重複的說明。此 外’此處主要以採用黏接栓方式者來進行說明。 -13- 201142410 採用圖2(a)所示的黏接栓(黏接墊)方式之上工作 台21,於基底板25與彈性體26之層積體,設有被安裝於黏 接墊安裝板22的複數黏接栓23的構成,於這些黏接栓23的 先端部設有黏接構件24。亦即,藉由使用未圖示的驅動機 構使黏接墊安裝板22上下移動,使各黏接栓23的先端部由 上工作台21的下面(亦即,彈性體26的下面)突出,以黏 接保持上基板2的方式構成。進而,此黏接栓(以下,稱 爲黏接墊)23,成爲於其先端部設有黏接構件24,於其中 央部設有真空吸附用的真空吸附口(未圖示)的構成。使 用此黏接墊23由前述之機械手接收上基板2,拉抬至上工 作台21的下面直接在黏接墊23上保持上基板2。 此外,上工作台2 1,以可以藉由未圖示的工作台驅動 機構,而上下移動的方式構成。又,貼合結束而由這些黏 接墊23剝離貼合基板(液晶面板)1 9 (圖1 )時,在以工 作台驅動機構將上工作台21按壓於此貼合基板19的狀態, 由黏接墊23的中央部的真空吸附口將氣體吹噴於此貼合基 板19之面同時使黏接墊23由上工作台21的下面拉起,而可 以由貼合基板1 9剝下黏接構件24。 根據安裝圖2(b)所示的黏接片的方式之上工作台21 ,於上工作台21的基底板25之幾乎全面設黏接片30,進而 ,由上工作台21至黏接片30的貼附面(吸附面)爲止貫通 設複數之真空吸附口(未圖示),藉由使上工作台21降低 至以先前的機械手保持之上基板2的面附近,以根據此真 空吸附口之真空吸附使此上基板2吸起於吸附片3 0之黏接 -14- 201142410 面予以黏接保持的構成。一般而言,即使讓真空室內爲真 空狀態而設置真空吸附機構,也因爲真空吸附力變小而無 法發揮作用,但在此具體例,收取上基板2,直到保持此 上基板2爲止真空室(基板貼合室(圖1) ) 15內爲半真空 狀態,所以可以使真空吸附力作用。 又,黏接片30的黏接面,如圖所示,設有網目狀之凹 凸。進而,在此構成由上工作台21通過黏接片30使用複數 可以上下動的真空吸附墊,藉此使上基板2抬起至黏接片 30之黏接面的作法亦可。 此黏接片方式的場合’爲了在上下基板1、2之貼合結 束後,由黏接片3〇剝離上基板2,設有具備上下驅動的驅 動機構之按壓栓安裝構件27。於此按壓栓安裝構件27,設 有複數之按壓栓28。又,於按壓栓28的先端部,被設有彈 性構件29,即使將按壓栓28按壓於上基板2之面,也不會 在此上基板2的面上造成傷痕。藉由將此按壓栓28按壓於 上基板2同時使上工作台21上升,可以使上基板2由黏接片 3 0剝離。 又,預先設置對按壓栓28及彈性構件29的中央部吹噴 氣體用的氣體流路或者孔,在上基板2之面上按壓著按壓 栓28時,藉由對此面吹噴氣體,可以使上基板2容易由上 工作台21剝離。 回到圖1,於基板貼合室1 5,上下基板1、2貼合形成 的液晶面板1 9,如前所述,由上工作台2 1 (圖2 )剝離而 成爲載置下工作台65 (圖6)上的狀態,此液晶面板19由 -15- 201142410 此下工作台65遞送至輥輸送帶66上被搬送至後處理室16。 液晶面板被搬入後處理室16時,基板貼合室15與後處理室 16之間的閘閥70關閉,後處理室16內回到大氣狀態。 後處理室16內成爲大氣狀態時,液晶面板19被搬入紫 外線照射室1 7,在該處對密封劑照射UV光(紫外線)使 密封劑硬化。密封劑硬化的液晶面板1 9,被搬送至第2檢 查室(亦即,面板檢査室)18,在該處進行檢査。 以以上的系統構成製造液晶面板1 9,但在此實施型態 的液晶基板貼合系統,基板1、2的搬送線,大部分是藉由 輥輸送帶進行的,所以與從前之根據機械手的搬送比較, 上下基板1、2的位置對準的精度有降低之虞。因此,有必 要防止在搬送路上停止的場合發生之基板的位置偏離,使 在各處理裝置收授上下基板1、2時成爲沒有位置偏離的狀 態。因此,在此實施型態,於往各處理裝置遞送上下基板 1、2之前被配置著供進行位置對準之用的檢測感測器。 圖3係顯示在圖1之第1搬送線5之檢測感測器的配置與 其動作之一具體例之槪略構成圖,該圖(a)係基板(在 此,以下基板1爲例)以正常的姿勢搬送的狀態,該圖(b )顯示在基板旋轉的狀態被搬送的狀態,31a、31b爲輥, 32a、32b爲動力傳達軸,33a、33b爲驅動馬達,34a、34b 爲基板檢測感測器,對應於前出圖面的部份被賦予相同符 號而省略重複的說明。又,在其他的搬送線(第2〜第3 ) 當然也同樣能使基板的姿勢修正爲正常的狀態。 於該圖,分別的輥輸送帶,於其左右分別被配置輥 -16- 201142410 31a、31b,中介著動力傳達源32a、32b被連接於供驅動分 別的左右之輥31a、31b之用的驅動馬達33a、33b。驅動馬 達33a、33b的驅動力透過動力傳達源32a、32b被傳達至輥 31a、31b,藉此,輥31a、31b被旋轉驅動。藉由在這些輥 31a、31b上被載置下基板1的狀態使這些輥31a、31b旋轉 驅動,下基板1被搬送往箭頭方向。 相關的第1搬送線5,於對搬送方向的直角方向(左右 方向),被配置檢測下基板1的左右兩邊部的通過之基板 檢測感測器34a、34b。下基板1被搬送來漿狀物塗布機7 ( 圖1)之工作台(未圖示)之前時,藉由設在此第1搬送線 5的基板檢測感測器34a、34b檢測出此下基板1的左右兩邊 部。以在左右各側的基板檢測感測器34a、34b之中的任一 方檢測到下基板1的邊部時,使檢測到之側的驅動馬達3 3 a 或33b停止的方式,由未圖示的控制手段進行控制。基板 檢測感測器34a、34b同時檢測到下基板1之分別的邊部的 先端時,控制手段判定下基板1係以正確的狀態被搬送, 使驅動馬達33a、33b保持原狀旋轉驅動而搬送下基板1。 此處,如圖3(b)所示,下基板1由前進方向來看( 以下,也相同)旋轉於反時針方向(傾斜)而被搬送(亦 即,下基板1的左邊部側比右邊部側更晚被搬送)的話, (由前進方向來看)被配置於左右側的基板檢測感測器 3 4a、3 4b無法同時檢測出下基板1,於其檢測會產生時間 差。下基板1以圖3 ( b )所示的方式傾斜的場合,右側的 基板檢測感測器34b最先檢測出下基板I,使驅動基板檢測 -17- 201142410 感測器34b側的輥輸送帶的驅動馬達33b停止。此時’未檢 測出下基板1的左邊部側的基板檢測感測器3 4a側的驅動馬 達33a繼續動作,輥31a繼續旋轉。因此’下基板1的左邊 側變成保持於移動狀態。如此般對於對搬送方向傾斜的狀 態下之下基板1,基板檢測感測器3 4b檢測到下基板1時, 驅動馬達33b停止。此時,另一方之驅動馬達33 a被旋轉驅 動,下基板1的左邊部側被搬送。以藉由此動作使下基板1 的左邊部側前進的方式使下基板1旋轉。藉由此旋轉動作 使下基板1的左邊部側成爲以基板檢測感測器34a檢測到的 狀態,下基板1的左邊部之先端成爲與右邊部的先端相同 的位置,補正了下基板1的傾斜。如此,下基板1的傾斜被 補正而基板檢測感測器34a、3 4b都成爲檢測出下基板1的 左右邊部的先端的狀態時,右側的驅動馬達33b被再起動 ,在傾斜被補正的狀態再度搬送下基板1。 又,關於此點更詳細說明的話,未圖示的控制手段, 觀察左右之基板檢測感測器34a、34b之檢測的計時差而檢 測出基板的旋轉(傾斜)狀態,同時使驅動馬達3 3 a、3 3 b 逆轉而再度使下基板1回到檢測前的特定位置。其後,再 度使兩驅動馬達3 3 a、3 3 b順方向地旋轉驅動使輥3 1 a、3 1 b 往搬送方向旋轉,使下基板1移動於箭頭的搬送方向。藉 此,藉由基板檢測感測器3 4 a、3 4b檢測出下基板1的左右 兩邊部的先端而可以確認傾斜消除了。在下基板1的傾斜 未被充分補正的場合,反覆相關的動作進行補正同時進行 驅動馬達3 3 a、3 3 b之停止處理求取檢測時間差。控制手段 -18- 201142410 判斷出檢測時間差在特定的範圍內的場合,認識爲下基板 1是在正常的搬送狀態下搬送,將下基板1搬送至糊狀物塗 布機7的塗布工作台之下,於該處停止。 糊狀物塗布機7的塗布工作台係可上下移動地被構成 ,成爲藉由使此塗布工作台上升,而由輥輸送帶上網此塗 布工作台上接取下基板1的構成。如此,於搬送線5的途中 的左右方向配置基板檢測感測器34a、34b,因應於這些基 板檢測感測器34a、3 4b的檢測結果使檢測出下基板1的邊 部的先端之側的驅動馬達停止,同時求出這些基板檢測感 測器34a、3 4b的檢測時間差,可以檢測出下基板1的傾斜 狀態。此外,直到基板檢測感測器34a、34b的檢測時間差 成爲特定範圍內爲止反覆下基板1的左右兩邊部的先端的 檢測,進行下基板1的傾斜的補正。藉此,沒有必要爲了 下基板1的傾斜的補正而另設工作台,進而也沒有必要設 機械手,可以抑制系統的大型化。又,針對相關的傾斜的 補正,係以下基板1爲例來說明,帶關於搬送於第2搬送線 6(圖1)上的上基板2也可以進行同樣的補正。 第1搬送線5的輥輸送帶,在整列機構4、糊狀物塗布 機7、短路用電極形成用塗布機8、液晶滴下裝置9、第1檢 查室10及移載裝置12之各裝置間被區分’在分別的區間內 實行與前述同樣的位置對準的控制。又’在前述之控制方 法,藉由逆轉驅動輥輸送帶直到回到特定位置爲止反覆下 基板1的左右邊部的先端部的檢測’而進行下基板1的傾斜 的補正,但是預先求出檢測時間之差與補正量的關係,記 -19- 201142410 憶該關係,而因應於檢測時間差,驅動控制一方側的驅動 馬達以進行補正的方式亦爲可能。如此,沒有必要爲了在 搬送線上進行下基板1的位置補正,而進行載置於工作台 上的下基板1的位置對準,可以縮短載置於工作台上時之 位置對準的時間,同時提高分別的工作台上的作業精度。 又,於前述之各裝置,設有供進行分別的處理之用的 工作台,於各工作台,爲了規定下基板1的停止位置,具 備基板定位機構。此基板定位機構,係以對基板搬送方向 ,於直角方向上規定下基板1的左右兩邊部側的進行之上 下移動的2根限制栓來構成的。下基板1在裝置內被搬送來 輥輸送帶上時,此限制栓係以停止下基板1的移動的方式 突出到比輥輸送帶更爲上方,停止此下基板1的前進之物 〇 此外,前述裝置之各工作台,係以可以藉由未圖示的 驅動機構而上下移動的方式構成,藉由輥輸送帶下基板1 被搬送來此工作台上停止輥輸送帶時,藉由使此工作台上 升’可以由輥輸送帶將下基板1接取到工作台面上。又, 設於工作台部的輥輸送帶設有上下移動機構,可以使輥輸 送帶移動至比工作台面更爲下方而遞送基板。 圖4係顯示圖1之根據本發明的基板反轉裝置Η與其基 板反轉方法之一實施例的構成圖,該圖(a)係顯示此一 例的全體構成之槪略構成圖,該圖(b)爲該圖(a)之活 動梁(Walking Beam)的構成圖,40爲架台,41爲移動用 柱,42爲活動梁,43爲水平移動部,44爲上下移動構件, -20- 201142410 45爲指部,46爲真空吸附墊。 於形成第2搬送線6的輥輸送帶上,使彩色濾光片形成 面朝上,載置上基板2而搬送至基板反轉裝置11。設於基 板反轉裝置11之反轉機構部的輥輸送帶,係以可以上下動 的方式構成。 於圖4(a),於此基板反轉裝置11,具備在架台40上 對上基板2的搬送方向伸於直角(寬幅)方向的複數指部 45 (圖4(b))之活動梁42等所構成的反轉機構。 活動梁42,如圖4(b)所示,成爲於旋轉軸設有複數 指部45的構成,於這些指部45,吸附上基板2的複數真空 吸附墊46設爲比指部45的面還高上特定高度。於真空吸附 墊46,雖省略圖示,但被連接著來自供給負壓的負壓源之 配管。 此反轉機構,如圖4 ( a )所示,於活動梁42的指部45 ,藉由真空吸附墊46,吸附保持上基板2,抬起活動梁42 的一端側的上下移動構件44往垂直方向移動,成爲藉由使 另一端側的水平移動構件43於基板搬送方向上由架台40之 一方邊側往另一方邊側移動,而使上基板2上下反轉之構 成。 此處,活動梁42的指部45,設置於設在反轉機構部的 輥輸送帶之輥與輥間。在架台40之基板搬送方向之約略中 央部,且係上基板2之端部側,設有使活動梁42之一端側 的上下移動構件44上升下降之用的移動用柱41。於移動用 柱41的部分,設有使設於活動梁42的一端部側的上下移動 -21 - 201142410 構件44上下移動之用的驅動馬達(未圖示)。成爲藉由此 驅動馬達,上下移動構件44沿著移動用柱41移動於上下方 向的構成。此外,雖未圖示,但上下移動構件44以繩索連 接著平衡重(counter weight),減低驅動馬達的驅動力 。於活動梁42的另一端側之水平移動構件43,以使容易移 動於線性導軌的方式具備滾動機構。 說明此例之基板反轉裝置1 1的動作。 首先,上基板2抵達基.板反轉裝置1 1上時,停止輥輸 送帶,使輥輸送帶移動往下方向。藉由使輥輸送帶下降, 於輥與輥間具備的活動梁42之指部45上被遞送上基板2。 被遞送至指部45上的上基板2,藉由設於指部45的真空吸 附墊46被真空吸附而保持。上基板2被吸附保持時,活動 梁42之一端側的上下移動構件44沿著移動用柱41上升,與 此同時,活動梁42之另一端側的水平移動構件43沿著線性 導軌移動於水平方向。接著,在上下移動構件44達到最高 點之前,水平移動構件43於水平方向以特定的速度移動而 可以通過移動用柱4 1的中心移動於其相反側。 又,於水平移動構件43設驅動用馬達,將其旋轉力提 供給水平移動構件43而驅動於水平方向的構成亦可。 活動梁42成爲垂直狀態時,使上下移動構件44的上升 變更控制爲下降方向。藉由使其進行以上的動作,可以使 上基板2上下反轉。 水平移動構件4 3移動於移動用柱4 1的相反側使活動梁 42成爲水平狀態,上基板2成爲上下反轉的狀態時,使此 -22- 201142410 基板反轉裝置11之次一移載室12的機械手13(圖1)伸至 偏離活動梁42的指部45的位置,以設於機械手側的指部之 真空吸附墊吸附保持上基板2。藉此,上基板2由基板反轉 裝置11的活動梁42遞送至移載室12的機械手13。 如此,在此基板反轉裝置11,使上基板2之一端側上 下移動,使另一端水平移動,所以上基板2以活動梁42的 上下移動構件44爲頂點,成爲以此頂點爲中心以接近約略 半扇形的形狀移動,與180度旋轉的場合相比移動面積變 小。因此,不會攪亂周圍的空氣,可以使塵埃的發生抑制 於最小限度,對於周圍的裝置之塵埃的影響也可以抑制於 最小限度。 又,在此例,係活動梁42的指部45之上起伸展機械手 的真空吸附墊而承接上基板2,但預先伸展設於活動梁42 的指部45的真空吸附墊46的足部,於上基板2與指部45之 間插入機械手1 3的指部,進行上基板2的遞送亦可,以這 樣的構成方式可提高作業效率。 圖5係顯示圖1之根據本發明的基板反轉裝置1丨與其基 板反轉方法之其他實施例的構成圖,該圖(a)係顯示此 其他例的全體構成之槪略構成圖,該圖(b)爲該圖(a) 之上基板搬送板的構成圖,50爲架台,51爲上基板搬送板 ’ 52爲迴轉腕,53爲驅動機構’

(a)之基板反轉裝置11的反轉機構。 在搬送板51之平行於上基板2的搬送方向的兩邊側的 中央部,以可以鉸接於反轉機構的連結部54的方式具備連 結機構57 (圖5 ( b ))。此外,搬送板5 1,如圖5 ( b )所 示,係以複數之棧55來形成,於此棧55的上部以可以插入 機械手的指部的方式設有特定長度的真空吸附墊56。 於此基板反轉裝置11,於其中央部設有板迴轉驅動機 構。在此板迴轉驅動機構,於在第1搬送線5的上基板2的 搬送方向的兩側設有迴轉腕52,於迴轉腕52的一端側(迴 轉中心側),設有使迴轉腕52迴轉之用的驅動機構53,於 迴轉腕52的先端部側,設有供連結於搬送板51的連結部54 〇 於第2搬送線6(圖1),設有搬送板51,由基板搬入 機械臂3 (圖1)使上基板2以使彩色濾光片面朝上的方式 載於搬送板51而被搬送。此時,上基板2,以設於圖5(b )所示的搬送板51的棧55之真空吸附墊56來真空吸附。上 基板2於此第2搬送線6上與搬送板51—起’被運至基板反 轉裝置1 1。 搬送板51到達基板反轉裝置11上時’設於其反轉機構 的迴轉腕52的先端部之連結部54,藉由設於搬送板51的中 央部的連結機構57連結。迴轉腕52的先端的連結部54連結 -24- 201142410 於搬送板51的連結機構57時,迴轉腕52藉由驅動機構53旋 轉,使上基板2上下反轉。進而,迴轉腕52的連結部54被 構成爲可轉動,對迴轉腕52而言在與搬送板51之連結機構 5 7之間成爲可以轉動,伴隨著迴轉腕5 2之往箭頭A方向的 旋轉,使搬送板51往圖示的箭頭B、C方向旋轉。迴轉腕52 往箭頭A方向旋轉1 8 0度時,上基板2來到搬送板5 1的下側 上基板2,以由搬送板51的下部垂下的狀態,遞送至 移載室12的機械手13。亦即,機械手13的指部插入搬送板 51的真空吸附墊56之間,以設於機械手13的指部之真空吸 附墊保持上基板2,停止被設於搬送板51的棧55之真空吸 附墊56的真空吸附。其後,機械手由搬送板51部使上基板 2離開,將上基板2搬入前處理室14。搬送板51藉由基板反 轉裝置1 1的反轉機構再度迴轉,於設了真空吸附墊之側朝 上回到第2搬送線6,回到基板搬入機械臂3的位置。 如以上所述,於其他實施例,也是在基板反轉裝置1 1 ,使上基板2不是完全旋轉180度上下反轉,而是藉由一端 側移動於約略水平方向,另一端側移動於垂直方向,使上 基板2的基板反轉的移動儘可能抑制於最小的範圍,所以 可抑制伴隨著上基板2的反轉之塵埃發生以及揚起,可以 抑制塵埃對周圍裝置的影響。 圖6係顯示在圖1之基板貼合室15之從前處理室14的基 板搬入及往後處理室16之基板搬出動作之縱剖面圖,60爲

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a substrate bonding system, particularly to shortening the time until the end of bonding, while minimizing the delivery of substrates using robotic arms in the system. Substrate bonding system. [Prior Art] In the manufacture of a liquid crystal display panel, liquid crystal is dropped on one substrate in advance, and two glass substrates provided with a transparent electrode or a thin film transistor array have a very close interval of several mA, and are provided on the substrate. The bonding agent (hereinafter also referred to as a sealing agent) of the peripheral portion is bonded (hereinafter, the bonded substrate is referred to as a liquid crystal panel), and the liquid crystal is sealed in the space formed by the bonding. In the liquid crystal sealing, for example, a liquid crystal is dropped onto a lower substrate in which a sealant is drawn in a closed pattern so as not to have an injection port, and a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) or a color filter is formed in a vacuum chamber. A method in which a TFT or a color filter of a substrate such as a light sheet is formed to face each other, and the upper and lower substrates are brought close to each other and bonded. In order to carry out the loading and unloading of the substrate into the vacuum chamber, a pre-chamber is provided, and the vacuum chamber is placed in the same atmosphere as the pre-chamber to carry out the loading and unloading of the substrate, and is disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2001-305563. In the above-mentioned publication, the upper substrate and the lower substrate are placed on the transport jig, and are transported to the roll conveyor by the preliminary chamber to the bonding chamber, and are respectively transferred to the upper table. With the composition of the lower workbench. In this manner, when the upper and lower substrates are mounted on the transport jig, the robot is placed on the transport jig by a robot hand. In addition, the transfer of the -5-201142410 substrate to the workbench is also carried out after the upper substrate is held on the upper workbench, and the lower substrate is lifted by the transport jig, so that the transport jig is retracted to the preparatory room and then placed under work. The composition of the stage. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-0 1 5 1 0 discloses that the lower substrate is transported from the first loading chamber to the spacer spreading device, the sealing material coating device, the liquid crystal injection device, the first preliminary alignment device, and the assembly device. The upper substrate is transferred from the second loading chamber to the assembly device through the preliminary chamber through the second preliminary alignment chamber, and after bonding the two substrates to the assembly device, the sealing material curing device, the heat treatment device, and the substrate cutting device are passed through. The substrate is sent to the system of the unloading device. In the liquid crystal substrate assembly system, when the substrate is loaded and unloaded in the bonding chamber to be bonded to the liquid crystal substrate assembly system, the bonding chamber and the vacuum chamber have the same atmosphere, and the bonding is performed. When the substrates are placed in one of the preparation chambers, the two substrates are bonded together and then discharged from the other preliminary chamber. Therefore, the arrangement of the devices is long and a large installation area is required. In addition, it is necessary to make the respective preparation chambers and the bonding chambers in a vacuum state, so that it is necessary to arrange the corresponding devices, and it takes a long time to evacuate the vacuum to a vacuum state, and there is a limit to shorten the production cycle. In addition, there is no record of the relationship with its previous steps. Further, since the jig is transported by the transfer from the preliminary chamber to the upper and lower substrates, it is a problem that it takes time to transport the jig to the transfer jig. In Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-0 1 5 1 0, only the movement of the substrate between the devices is described, and the substrate is transported by any means of transport, and the description of each device is not included. reveal. -6- 201142410 However, when the upper substrate is transferred to the bonding apparatus, the TFT or the color filter is formed to face up using a roller conveyor. In this case, when the bonding device is carried in, it is necessary to invert the upper substrate. Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 6-485-54 discloses a device for reversing the substrate of a mounted electronic component by 180 degrees. In this device, the central portion of the frame holding the substrate is rotated to reverse the configuration. In addition, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2006-2271-8 discloses an inverting device for irradiating uV light in order to cure the sealant between the substrates by irradiation with UV, and to reverse the bonded panel. Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 6-48 5 54 discloses a structure in which a substrate is held by a frame, and a central portion of the frame is rotated by 180 degrees to reverse the substrate. In the same manner as in the state in which the sealant is not cured after the liquid crystal panel is bonded, the state in which the sealant is not hardened is reversed, and the state between the two panels is reversed. The inversion method is also the same as the patent document, and a method of rotating the substrate by 180 degrees in the air is used. Therefore, if the substrate is reversed before the panel is assembled by this method (before bonding), the surrounding air may be disordered, and the dust may be caught on the transport line or the like, and the dust may fall into the liquid crystal panel to cause malfunction or deterioration in quality. The important reason. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a substrate for a robot to be transported to a substrate, and to transport the substrate to and from the roller conveyor to each device. The placement on the stage can be performed with high precision, and the system can be shortened by the time of the alignment of 201142410 or the time taken for the upper and lower substrates to move into the bonding chamber. Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a substrate reversing device that suppresses the winding up of dust or the like when the upper substrate is reversed, and a roller conveyor belt or a belt conveyor belt that transports the lower substrate using the liquid crystal panel bonding system. a first transfer line, a paste coater that applies a sealant to the first transfer line, a coating machine for forming a short-circuit electrode that is disposed on the downstream side of the paste coater, and a drip The liquid crystal dropping device of the liquid crystal material and the first inspection chamber in which the state of the lower substrate is inspected are arranged in series, and the second conveying line formed by the roller conveyor belt or the belt conveyor that conveys the upper substrate is formed in the first conveying line. A third transport line including a roller conveyor belt or a belt conveyor connected to the first transport line is provided at a junction of the first transport line and the second transport line, and is arranged in series on the third transport line. Transfer chamber, laminating device, UV irradiation chamber and panel inspection room. Further, the configuration in which the upper and lower substrates are carried in at the same time in the bonding chamber is performed, and the inclination of the lower substrate is corrected on the roller conveyor belt or the belt conveyor during conveyance. The coating device for applying the sealing agent to which the substrate is bonded is disposed such that the bonding device or the sealant curing device (UV irradiation device) is arranged in an in-line manner, and is driven separately for the transfer of the lower substrate or the completed liquid crystal panel. The roller conveyor belt is transported, and the inclination of the substrate can be corrected before each device, and the upper and lower substrates can be simultaneously loaded in the bonding device or the bonding chamber, so that the production time of the liquid crystal panel can be greatly shortened, and the device can be performed before the device. The slanting correction of the substrate can improve the coating or bonding accuracy -8-201142410. Further, the upper substrate reversing device on the end portion side of the roller conveyor that transports the upper substrate is the upper substrate that is transported upward from the gantry. In the upward state, a walking beam with a plurality of fingers is supported by a roller conveyor belt, and a plurality of vacuum suction pads are provided on the finger portion, and the movable beam is attached to the upper and lower sides of the movable member and the other end side. The moving portion is configured such that the moving column provided on the gantry moves horizontally by the vertical moving member A linear guide in the horizontal direction of the substrate is reversed configuration. Further, the upper substrate is transported to the roller conveyor belt while being held upward on the conveyance plate, and the connection mechanism of the plate is coupled to the upper substrate reversing device and the rotary wrist of the reversing mechanism provided to the upper substrate reversing device. The connecting portion is configured such that the turning arm is half-turned to reverse the transfer plate and the substrate held thereon. According to the above configuration, the substrate can be reversed by 180 degrees without drawing an arc at the time of reversal, and the end of one of the substrates can be made vertical, and the other end can be reversed horizontally, so that the substrate can be reversed. The area of the movement trajectory drawn at the time of turning is the smallest, and the area of the air turbulence caused by the reverse rotation of the substrate is reduced, and the occurrence of dust can be suppressed as much as possible. In addition, it is possible to suppress an increase in size of the device. In other words, in the system using the substrate inverting device, dust can be prevented from falling to other devices, and the accuracy of the bonded liquid crystal panel can be lowered, and the size of the device can be reduced.

Further, in the previous processing chamber 14, a conveyor belt telescopic mechanism 60 for expanding and contracting the roller conveyor belt 61 is provided, and when the gate valve 69 provided between the pretreatment chamber 14 and the substrate bonding chamber 15 is opened, This belt stretching mechanism 60' is configured such that the roller conveyor belt 61 passes over the gate valve 69 and continues the roller conveyor belt 66 of the substrate bonding chamber 15. -11 - 201142410 When the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2 are carried into the pretreatment chamber 14, the gate valve (not shown) provided at the inlet of the substrate loading side of the pretreatment chamber 14 is closed, and the inside of the pretreatment chamber 14 is not shown. The vacuum pump shown is vented to a specific degree of vacuum (about 150 Torr, hereinafter referred to as semi-vacuum). When the inside of the pretreatment chamber 14 is in a semi-vacuum state, the gate valve 69 between the substrate bonding chamber 15 and the substrate bonding chamber 15 is opened, and the roller conveyor belt 61 is extended to the substrate bonding chamber 15 side by the belt stretching mechanism 60 to continue the substrate bonding. Roll conveyor belt 66 of chamber 15. The lower substrate 1 is carried into the substrate bonding chamber 15 on the roller conveyor belts 61, 66, and the upper substrate 2 is carried into the substrate bonding chamber 15 by the robot 62. At this time, the inside of the substrate bonding chamber 15 is in a semi-vacuum state. In the previous processing chamber 14, a roll conveyor belt 61 that picks up the lower substrate 1 and transports it to the third transfer line 20 of the lower table 65 of the substrate bonding chamber 15 is provided, and the upper substrate 2 is picked up and delivered to the substrate. A robot 62 for the upper table (pressurizing plate) 21 of the chamber 15. Further, the details of the substrate 1 and 2 of the substrate bonding chamber 15 will be described later. The delivery of the two substrates 1 and 2 in the substrate bonding chamber 15 is completed, and when the upper and lower tables 21 and 65 hold the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2, respectively, the roller conveyor belt 61 stretched by the pretreatment chamber 14 is retracted. In the chamber 14, the aforementioned gate valve 69 is closed. Thereafter, the inside of the substrate bonding chamber 15 is evacuated to a high vacuum (about 5 X 1 〇_3 T〇rr ). Thereafter, the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2 are aligned, and the upper stage 21 is lowered to perform bonding of the upper substrate 2 to the lower substrate 1. At the end of this bonding, the inside of the substrate bonding chamber 15 is returned to the half vacuum, and the gate valve 70 between the substrate bonding chamber 15 and the post-processing chamber 16 is opened. At this time, the post-treatment chamber 16 is in a semi-vacuum state. In the post-processing chamber 16, a conveyor belt telescopic mechanism 68 is also provided. When the gate valve 70 is opened between the bonding chamber 15 and the substrate -12-201142410, the conveyor belt telescopic mechanism 68 provided in the post-processing chamber 16 operates. The conveyor belt 67 is extended by the post-treatment chamber 16 and continues to the roller conveyor belt 66 of the substrate bonding chamber 15. After the post-processing chamber 16 is carried into the bonded substrate (that is, the liquid crystal panel) 19 in which the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2 are bonded together, the roll belt is retracted into the post-processing chamber 16, and the post-processing chamber 16 is bonded to the substrate. The gate valve between chambers 15 is closed, leaving the post-treatment chamber 16 in an atmospheric state. When the inside of the post-treatment chamber 16 is in an atmospheric state, a gate valve (not shown) between the post-treatment chamber 16 and the ultraviolet irradiation chamber 17 is opened, and the belt stretching mechanism provided in the post-treatment chamber 16 (not As shown in the figure, the roller conveyor belt is connected to the ultraviolet irradiation chamber 17. Thereafter, the liquid crystal panel 19 is carried into the ultraviolet irradiation chamber 17 on the relevant roll conveyor, and the sealant is irradiated with ultraviolet rays to harden the sealant. When the curing of the sealant is completed, the liquid crystal panel 19 is transported to the roll conveyor and transported to the second inspection room (panel inspection room) 18 for inspection. In this manner, the processing chambers 14 to 18 are arranged in a substantially linear shape, and a part of the processing chambers are used. However, since almost all of the substrate conveyance is constituted by the roller conveyor belt, the installation area of the apparatus can be minimized. 2 is a schematic view showing a schematic configuration of a specific example of a table above the substrate bonding chamber 15 of FIG. 1, wherein (a) shows a bonding plug (adhesive pad) mode, and (b) shows The method of installing the bonding piece on the upper working surface, 21 is the upper working table, 22 is the bonding pad mounting plate, 23 is the bonding bolt (bonding pad) '24 is the bonding member, 25 is the base plate, 26 is the elastic The body 27 is a pressing plug mounting member '28 is a pressing plug, 29 is an elastic member, 30 is an adhesive piece, and the same reference numerals are given to portions corresponding to those in FIG. 1 and overlapping description will be omitted. In addition, the description here is mainly made by using a bonding plug. -13- 201142410 Using the bonding plug (bonding pad) method shown in Fig. 2(a), the upper table 21 is laminated on the base plate 25 and the elastic body 26, and is mounted on the bonding pad. The plurality of adhesive plugs 23 of the plate 22 are formed with adhesive members 24 at the leading ends of the adhesive plugs 23. That is, the bonding pad mounting plate 22 is moved up and down by using a driving mechanism (not shown) so that the tip end portions of the respective bonding pins 23 are protruded from the lower surface of the upper table 21 (that is, the lower surface of the elastic body 26). It is configured to adhere and hold the upper substrate 2. Further, the adhesive plug (hereinafter referred to as "adhesive pad" 23 is provided with a bonding member 24 at its tip end portion and a vacuum suction port (not shown) for vacuum suction at its central portion. The upper substrate 2 is received by the aforementioned robot using the bonding pad 23, and is pulled up to the lower surface of the upper working table 21 to directly hold the upper substrate 2 on the bonding pad 23. Further, the upper table 2 1 is configured to be movable up and down by a table driving mechanism (not shown). When the bonding substrate (liquid crystal panel) 19 (FIG. 1) is peeled off by the bonding pads 23, the bonding mechanism presses the upper table 21 against the bonding substrate 19 by the table driving mechanism. The vacuum suction port at the central portion of the bonding pad 23 blows a gas onto the surface of the bonding substrate 19 while the bonding pad 23 is pulled up from the lower surface of the upper table 21, and can be peeled off by the bonding substrate 19. The member 24 is connected. According to the mounting table 21 in the manner of attaching the bonding sheet shown in FIG. 2(b), the bonding sheet 30 is provided almost entirely on the base plate 25 of the upper table 21, and further, from the upper table 21 to the bonding sheet. A plurality of vacuum suction ports (not shown) are formed through the attachment surface (adsorption surface) of 30, and the upper table 21 is lowered to the vicinity of the surface of the upper substrate 2 by the previous robot, in accordance with the vacuum. The vacuum adsorption of the adsorption port causes the upper substrate 2 to be sucked up and adhered to the surface of the adhesive sheet 30 to be bonded to the surface of the adhesive sheet - 201142410. In general, even if the vacuum suction mechanism is provided in a vacuum state in the vacuum chamber, the vacuum suction force becomes small and cannot function. However, in this specific example, the upper substrate 2 is taken up until the upper substrate 2 is held (the vacuum chamber) In the substrate bonding chamber (Fig. 1), the inside of the substrate 15 is in a semi-vacuum state, so that the vacuum suction force can be applied. Further, the bonding surface of the bonding sheet 30 is provided with a mesh-like concave projection as shown in the drawing. Further, it is also possible to form a vacuum suction pad which can be moved up and down by the upper table 21 through the bonding sheet 30, whereby the upper substrate 2 can be lifted up to the bonding surface of the bonding sheet 30. In the case of the bonding sheet method, in order to bond the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2, the upper substrate 2 is peeled off by the bonding sheets 3, and a pressing plug mounting member 27 having a driving mechanism for driving up and down is provided. Here, the plug mounting member 27 is pressed, and a plurality of pressing plugs 28 are provided. Further, the elastic member 29 is provided at the tip end portion of the pressing pin 28, and even if the pressing pin 28 is pressed against the surface of the upper substrate 2, no scratches are formed on the surface of the upper substrate 2. By pressing the pressing pin 28 against the upper substrate 2 and raising the upper table 21, the upper substrate 2 can be peeled off from the bonding sheet 30. Further, a gas flow path or a hole for blowing the gas to the central portion of the pressing plug 28 and the elastic member 29 is provided in advance, and when the pressing plug 28 is pressed against the surface of the upper substrate 2, the gas can be blown on the surface. The upper substrate 2 is easily peeled off from the upper table 21. Referring back to Fig. 1, in the substrate bonding chamber 15, the liquid crystal panel 19 which is formed by laminating the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2 is peeled off from the upper table 2 1 (Fig. 2) to be placed on the lower stage. In the state on 65 (Fig. 6), the liquid crystal panel 19 is delivered to the roll conveyor belt 66 by the lower stage 65 of -15-201142410 and conveyed to the post-treatment chamber 16. When the liquid crystal panel is carried into the post-processing chamber 16, the gate valve 70 between the substrate bonding chamber 15 and the post-processing chamber 16 is closed, and the inside of the post-processing chamber 16 is returned to the atmosphere. When the inside of the post-treatment chamber 16 is in an atmospheric state, the liquid crystal panel 19 is carried into the ultraviolet irradiation chamber 17 where the sealant is irradiated with UV light (ultraviolet rays) to cure the sealant. The liquid crystal panel 129 which is hardened by the sealant is transported to the second inspection room (i.e., the panel inspection room) 18 where it is inspected. The liquid crystal panel 1 is manufactured by the above system configuration. However, in the liquid crystal substrate bonding system of the embodiment, most of the transfer lines of the substrates 1 and 2 are carried by the roll conveyor belt, so that the former robot is based on the former. In the comparison of the conveyance, the accuracy of the alignment of the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2 is lowered. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the positional deviation of the substrate which occurs when the conveyance path is stopped, so that the position of the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2 is not changed when the respective processing apparatuses receive the upper and lower substrates. Therefore, in this embodiment, a detection sensor for positional alignment is disposed before the upper and lower substrates 1, 2 are delivered to the respective processing devices. 3 is a schematic structural view showing a specific example of the arrangement of the detecting sensor and the operation of the first transport line 5 of FIG. 1, and the (a)-based substrate (herein, the following substrate 1 is taken as an example) In the normal posture transport state, the figure (b) shows the state in which the substrate is transported, 31a and 31b are rollers, 32a and 32b are power transmission shafts, 33a and 33b are drive motors, and 34a and 34b are substrate detection. In the sensor, portions corresponding to the front surface are given the same reference numerals, and overlapping descriptions are omitted. Further, in other transport lines (second to third), of course, the posture of the substrate can be corrected to a normal state. In the figure, the respective roller conveyor belts are disposed on the right and left sides of the rollers 16-201142410 31a and 31b, and the power transmission sources 32a and 32b are connected to the driving for driving the left and right rollers 31a and 31b. Motors 33a, 33b. The driving forces of the driving motors 33a and 33b are transmitted to the rollers 31a and 31b through the power transmission sources 32a and 32b, whereby the rollers 31a and 31b are rotationally driven. The rollers 31a and 31b are rotationally driven in a state in which the lower substrate 1 is placed on the rollers 31a and 31b, and the lower substrate 1 is conveyed in the direction of the arrow. In the first transport line 5, the substrate detecting sensors 34a and 34b that pass the left and right sides of the lower substrate 1 are disposed in the right-angle direction (left-right direction) of the transport direction. When the lower substrate 1 is transferred to the stage (not shown) of the slurry coating machine 7 (FIG. 1), the substrate detecting sensors 34a and 34b provided in the first transfer line 5 detect the next. The left and right sides of the substrate 1. When the side of the lower substrate 1 is detected by any one of the substrate detecting sensors 34a and 34b on the left and right sides, the driving motor 3 3 a or 33b on the detected side is stopped. Control means to control. When the substrate detecting sensors 34a and 34b simultaneously detect the leading ends of the respective side portions of the lower substrate 1, the control means determines that the lower substrate 1 is transported in the correct state, and drives the drive motors 33a and 33b to rotate in the original state and transport them. Substrate 1. Here, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the lower substrate 1 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction (inclined) as viewed in the forward direction (that is, the same), that is, the left side of the lower substrate 1 is larger than the right side. When the part side is transported later, the substrate detecting sensors 34a and 34b disposed on the left and right sides (in the direction of the forward direction) cannot simultaneously detect the lower substrate 1, and a time difference is generated in the detection. When the lower substrate 1 is inclined in the manner shown in FIG. 3(b), the substrate detecting sensor 34b on the right side first detects the lower substrate I, and causes the driving substrate to detect the roller conveyor belt on the side of the sensor 34b on the -17-201142410 side. The drive motor 33b is stopped. At this time, the drive motor 33a on the side of the substrate detecting sensor 34a on the left side of the lower substrate 1 is not detected to continue to operate, and the roller 31a continues to rotate. Therefore, the left side of the lower substrate 1 is kept in a moving state. When the lower substrate 1 is detected by the substrate detecting sensor 34b in the substrate 1 under the tilted direction of the transport direction, the drive motor 33b is stopped. At this time, the other drive motor 33a is rotationally driven, and the left side of the lower substrate 1 is conveyed. The lower substrate 1 is rotated to advance the left side portion of the lower substrate 1 by this operation. By the rotation operation, the left side portion of the lower substrate 1 is in a state detected by the substrate detecting sensor 34a, and the front end of the left side portion of the lower substrate 1 is at the same position as the tip end of the right side portion, and the lower substrate 1 is corrected. tilt. When the inclination of the lower substrate 1 is corrected and the substrate detecting sensors 34a and 34b are in the state in which the leading ends of the left and right sides of the lower substrate 1 are detected, the drive motor 33b on the right side is restarted and corrected in the tilt. The state is again transferred to the lower substrate 1. Further, as will be described in more detail, the control means (not shown) observes the timing difference between the detection of the left and right substrate detecting sensors 34a and 34b, detects the rotation (tilt) state of the substrate, and simultaneously drives the motor 3 3 . a, 3 3 b is reversed and the lower substrate 1 is again returned to a specific position before the detection. Thereafter, the two drive motors 3 3 a and 3 3 b are rotationally driven in the forward direction to rotate the rollers 3 1 a and 3 1 b in the conveyance direction, and the lower substrate 1 is moved in the conveyance direction of the arrow. As a result, it is confirmed that the tilt is eliminated by detecting the leading ends of the left and right sides of the lower substrate 1 by the substrate detecting sensors 34a, 34b. When the inclination of the lower substrate 1 is not sufficiently corrected, the subsequent operations are corrected and the stop processing of the drive motors 3 3 a and 3 3 b is performed to obtain the detection time difference. Control means -18-201142410 When it is judged that the detection time difference is within a specific range, it is recognized that the lower substrate 1 is transported in a normal transport state, and the lower substrate 1 is transported to the coating table of the paste coater 7. , stop there. The coating stage of the paste coater 7 is configured to be movable up and down, and the coating stage is raised, and the lower stage 1 is attached to the coating table by the roll conveyor. In this manner, the substrate detecting sensors 34a and 34b are disposed in the left-right direction in the middle of the transport line 5, and the side of the tip end of the side portion of the lower substrate 1 is detected in response to the detection results of the substrate detecting sensors 34a and 34b. When the drive motor is stopped and the detection time difference between the substrate detecting sensors 34a and 34b is obtained, the tilt state of the lower substrate 1 can be detected. Further, until the detection time difference between the substrate detecting sensors 34a and 34b is within a specific range, the detection of the tip end of the left and right sides of the lower substrate 1 is repeated, and the tilt of the lower substrate 1 is corrected. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a table for the correction of the inclination of the lower substrate 1, and it is not necessary to provide a robot, and it is possible to suppress an increase in size of the system. Further, the correction of the relevant tilt is described by taking the following substrate 1 as an example, and the same correction can be performed on the upper substrate 2 carried on the second transport line 6 (Fig. 1). The roller conveyor belt of the first conveyance line 5 is interposed between the apparatus of the alignment mechanism 4, the paste coating machine 7, the short-circuit electrode forming coating machine 8, the liquid crystal dropping device 9, the first inspection chamber 10, and the transfer device 12. It is distinguished that 'the control of the same position alignment as described above is performed in the respective sections. In the above-described control method, the inclination of the lower substrate 1 is corrected by reversing the detection of the tip end portion of the left and right side portions of the lower substrate 1 until the specific position is reversed, but the detection of the inclination of the lower substrate 1 is performed. The relationship between the time difference and the correction amount is recorded in -19-201142410. It is also possible to drive the control motor on one side to correct the change in response to the detection time difference. In this way, it is not necessary to perform the positional alignment of the lower substrate 1 placed on the table in order to correct the position of the lower substrate 1 on the transport line, and it is possible to shorten the positional alignment time when placed on the table, and at the same time Improve the accuracy of the work on the separate workbench. Further, in each of the above-described apparatuses, a table for performing respective processes is provided, and in each of the stages, a substrate positioning mechanism is provided in order to define a stop position of the lower substrate 1. In the substrate positioning mechanism, two restriction plugs that move up and down on the left and right side portions of the lower substrate 1 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate are defined. When the lower substrate 1 is transported onto the roll transport belt in the apparatus, the restriction plug protrudes above the roller conveyor belt to stop the movement of the lower substrate 1, and stops the advancement of the lower substrate 1. Each of the stages of the apparatus is configured to be vertically movable by a drive mechanism (not shown), and the roller conveyor belt lower substrate 1 is transported to stop the roller conveyor belt on the table. The table rises 'the lower substrate 1 can be taken up to the work surface by a roller conveyor. Further, the roller conveyor provided on the table portion is provided with a vertical movement mechanism for moving the roller conveyor belt to a lower level than the table surface to deliver the substrate. 4 is a view showing a configuration of an embodiment of the substrate inverting device Η and the substrate reversing method thereof according to the present invention, and FIG. 4(a) is a schematic structural view showing the overall configuration of the example. b) is the composition diagram of the moving beam of the figure (a), 40 is the gantry, 41 is the moving column, 42 is the movable beam, 43 is the horizontal moving part, 44 is the moving part up and down, -20- 201142410 45 is the finger and 46 is the vacuum suction pad. On the roll conveyor belt on which the second conveyance line 6 is formed, the color filter is formed to face upward, and the upper substrate 2 is placed and conveyed to the substrate inverting device 11. The roller conveyor belt provided in the reversing mechanism portion of the substrate reversing device 11 is configured to be movable up and down. In FIG. 4(a), the substrate inverting device 11 includes a movable beam of a plurality of fingers 45 (FIG. 4(b)) extending in a direction perpendicular to the width direction (width) of the upper substrate 2 on the gantry 40. Inverting mechanism composed of 42 etc. As shown in FIG. 4(b), the movable beam 42 has a configuration in which a plurality of fingers 45 are provided on the rotating shaft, and the plurality of vacuum suction pads 46 that adsorb the upper substrate 2 are used as the faces of the fingers 45. Also high above a certain height. The vacuum suction pad 46 is connected to a pipe from a negative pressure source that supplies a negative pressure, although not shown. As shown in FIG. 4(a), the reversing mechanism sucks and holds the upper substrate 2 on the finger portion 45 of the movable beam 42 by the vacuum suction pad 46, and lifts the upper and lower moving members 44 on one end side of the movable beam 42 toward In the vertical direction, the horizontal movement member 43 on the other end side is moved from one side to the other side of the gantry 40 in the substrate conveyance direction, and the upper substrate 2 is vertically inverted. Here, the finger portion 45 of the movable beam 42 is provided between the roller and the roller provided in the roller conveyor belt of the reversing mechanism portion. A moving column 41 for raising and lowering the vertical moving member 44 on one end side of the movable beam 42 is provided on the end portion side of the substrate 2 in the substrate transfer direction of the gantry 40. A portion of the moving column 41 is provided with a drive motor (not shown) for moving the member 44 up and down on the one end side of the movable beam 42 up and down. By the drive motor, the vertical movement member 44 is moved in the upper and lower directions along the movement column 41. Further, although not shown, the vertical moving member 44 is connected to the rope by the rope, thereby reducing the driving force of the drive motor. The horizontal moving member 43 on the other end side of the movable beam 42 is provided with a rolling mechanism so as to be easily moved to the linear guide. The operation of the substrate inverting device 1 1 of this example will be described. First, the upper substrate 2 reaches the base. When the plate reversing device 1 is mounted, the roller conveyor belt is stopped to move the roller conveyor belt downward. By lowering the roller conveyor belt, the upper substrate 2 is delivered onto the finger 45 of the movable beam 42 provided between the roller and the roller. The upper substrate 2, which is delivered onto the finger portion 45, is held by vacuum suction by the vacuum suction pad 46 provided on the finger portion 45. When the upper substrate 2 is suction-held, the vertical moving member 44 on one end side of the movable beam 42 rises along the moving column 41, and at the same time, the horizontal moving member 43 on the other end side of the movable beam 42 moves horizontally along the linear guide. direction. Next, before the upper and lower moving members 44 reach the highest point, the horizontal moving member 43 moves at a specific speed in the horizontal direction and can be moved to the opposite side by the center of the moving column 4 1 . Further, the horizontal moving member 43 may be provided with a driving motor, and the rotational force may be supplied to the horizontal moving member 43 to be driven in the horizontal direction. When the movable beam 42 is in the vertical state, the rising change of the vertical moving member 44 is controlled to the downward direction. By performing the above operation, the upper substrate 2 can be reversed upside down. When the horizontal moving member 43 moves to the opposite side of the moving column 4 1 to make the movable beam 42 horizontal, and the upper substrate 2 is vertically inverted, the next transfer of the substrate inverting device 11 of the -22-201142410 is performed. The robot 13 (Fig. 1) of the chamber 12 extends to a position deviating from the finger 45 of the movable beam 42, and the vacuum adsorption pad provided on the finger of the robot side sucks and holds the upper substrate 2. Thereby, the upper substrate 2 is delivered to the robot 13 of the transfer chamber 12 by the movable beam 42 of the substrate inverting device 11. As described above, in the substrate inverting device 11, the one end side of the upper substrate 2 is moved up and down, and the other end is horizontally moved. Therefore, the upper substrate 2 has the upper and lower moving members 44 of the movable beam 42 as the apex, and is centered on the vertex. The shape of the approximately semi-fan shape moves, and the moving area becomes smaller as compared with the case where the rotation is 180 degrees. Therefore, the surrounding air is not disturbed, the occurrence of dust can be suppressed to a minimum, and the influence of dust on the surrounding device can be suppressed to a minimum. Further, in this example, the vacuum suction pad of the robot is extended on the finger 45 of the movable beam 42 to receive the upper substrate 2, but the foot of the vacuum suction pad 46 provided on the finger 45 of the movable beam 42 is previously extended. The finger of the robot 1 3 is inserted between the upper substrate 2 and the finger portion 45, and the delivery of the upper substrate 2 may be performed. With such a configuration, work efficiency can be improved.

The upper substrate 2 is transported to the substrate reversing device 1 1 on the second transfer line 6 together with the transfer plate 51. When the transfer plate 51 reaches the substrate inverting device 11, the connecting portion 54 provided at the tip end portion of the turning arm 52 of the reversing mechanism is coupled by a connecting mechanism 57 provided at the center portion of the conveying plate 51. When the connecting portion 54 of the distal end of the turning arm 52 is coupled to the connecting mechanism 57 of the transporting plate 51, the turning arm 52 is rotated by the driving mechanism 53, and the upper substrate 2 is vertically inverted. Further, the connecting portion 54 of the turning arm 52 is configured to be rotatable, and the turning arm 52 is rotatable between the connecting mechanism 57 of the transfer plate 51 and the rotation of the turning arm 52 in the direction of the arrow A. The conveying plate 51 is rotated in the directions of arrows B and C shown in the drawing. When the turning arm 52 is rotated by 180 degrees in the direction of the arrow A, the upper substrate 2 comes to the lower substrate 2 of the transporting plate 51, and is delivered to the transfer chamber 12 by the lower portion of the transporting plate 51. 13.

As described above, when the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2 are held by the pretreatment chamber 14 in the upper table 21 and the lower table 65 of the substrate bonding chamber 15, the gate valve 69 is closed. Further, the gate valve 70 between the substrate bonding chamber 15 and the post-processing chamber 16 was originally closed from 28 to 201142410.

Further, in the second embodiment, a lateral pressure mechanism 80 for moving the lower table 79 in the horizontal direction and positioning the upper substrate 2 and the lower substrate 1 is provided. The upper table 78' has a configuration in which the bonding member 78b is provided on the base plate 78a. As in the first embodiment described above, the upper table 78' has a plurality of vacuum suction pads (not shown) that can be moved up and down. The robot 13 (Fig. 1) of the transfer chamber 12 (Fig. 1) is held by the vacuum adsorption pad to hold the substrate 2 to be received by the vacuum adsorption pad provided on the upper table 78, and raised to the substrate holding surface of the upper table 78. . On the upper surface of the upper table 78, a plurality of vacuum suction ports (not shown) and a bonding member 78b are disposed to vacuum-adsorb the upper substrate raised by the vacuum adsorption pad on the upper stage 78 side. 2, at the same time eventually become bonded to maintain. The vacuum suction pad of the upper stage 7 8 is used to peel off the upper substrate 2 of the liquid crystal panel 19 adhered to the surface of the upper stage 78 after bonding of the substrates 1 and 2. In other words, when the upper stage 78 is peeled off from the surface of the bonded substrate (liquid crystal panel) 19 after the bonding of the substrates 1 and 2 is completed, the surface of the bonded substrate 19 is pressed by the vacuum suction pad. The upper stage 78 is raised, and the substrate 2 above the liquid crystal panel 19 can be peeled off from the surface of the upper stage 78. At this time, the upper substrate 2 of the liquid crystal panel 9 can be easily peeled off by blowing a gas onto the surface of the liquid crystal panel 19 from the vacuum suction port provided on the upper surface of the upper stage 78. The upper vacuum chamber 76 is connected to the upper frame 91 via a joint mechanism (not shown), and the upper table 78 is connected to the upper frame 91 by a plurality of columnar members 86. Between the columnar member 86 and the upper vacuum chamber 76, a sealing member 87 is provided, and when the vacuum chamber is formed by the upper vacuum chamber 76 and the lower vacuum chamber 77, air is prevented from entering the vacuum chamber. The upper vacuum chamber 76 and the upper table 78 are moved up and down by a drive motor 81 provided at a corner of the device 4 for driving the upper frame 91 up and down, and an upper frame upper and lower drive mechanism constituted by the ball screw 82 and the linear guide 83. . A sealing ring 85 formed of rubber is provided at a joint portion between the upper vacuum chamber 76 and the lower vacuum chamber 77. When the upper vacuum chamber 76 and the lower vacuum chamber 77 are combined to form a vacuum chamber, the airtightness in the vacuum chamber is maintained by the sealing ring 85 of -32-201142410. Further, the correction of the inclination of the lower substrate 1 is the same as in the first embodiment, and the detection of the sensor that detects the passage of the substrate by using the specific position disposed on the roller conveyor as described in FIG. Come on. In the substrate bonding apparatus 15', the upper substrate 2 and the lower substrate 1 are carried into the upper table 78 and the lower table 79 at about the same time. At this time, the upper vacuum chamber 76 and the lower vacuum chamber 77 are separated from each other and are in an atmospheric state. As explained earlier, the upper substrate 2' is processed as illustrated in Fig. 6, using the vacuum suction pad of the upper table 78 provided on the upper side of the upper side of the vacuum 76' by the transfer chamber 12 (Fig. 1). 13 (Fig. 1) is taken up and held on the upper table 78 using a vacuum suction and adhesion holding mechanism. The lower substrate 1 is supported by the lower roller table 66 as shown in FIG. 6 provided on the lower vacuum chamber 77 side, so that the lower table 79 is raised and the lower substrate 1 is placed on the lower table. 79. The lower substrate 1 placed on the lower stage 79 is vacuum-adsorbed using a plurality of vacuum suction ports provided in the lower stage 79, and is held by being bonded by a plurality of bonded members. Further, in the lower stage 79, in order to align the positions of the upper substrate 2 and the lower substrate 1, a table driving mechanism that can be moved in the horizontal direction is provided. As described above, since the inclination of the substrates 1 and 2 is corrected in advance on the roll belt of the transport line, the amount of movement can be made small, and the positional alignment between the substrates 1 and 2 can be performed with a related minute movement. When the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2 are held by the upper table 78 and the lower table 79, the upper vacuum chamber 76 is lowered to the lower vacuum chamber 77 side, and the upper vacuum chamber 76 and the lower vacuum chamber 77 are combined to form a vacuum chamber. When the vacuum chamber is formed, the upper frame 91 is disconnected from the joint mechanism 94 of the upper vacuum chamber 76, and the upper frame 78 is moved up and down by the upper frame upper and lower drive mechanisms. In this way, when the vacuum chamber is formed, the vacuum chambers 90a and 90b provided on the upper vacuum chamber 76 side and the lower vacuum chamber 77 side respectively discharge the gas in the vacuum chamber to form a high vacuum state (about 5x1 (T3T〇rr). In this state, the positional deviation marks between the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2 are obtained by observing the alignment marks provided on the upper substrate 2 and the lower substrate 1 by a camera (not shown), so that the lower stage 79 is obtained. The drive is aligned in the horizontal direction. When the alignment is completed, the upper table 78 is moved to the lower table 79 by the upper frame upper and lower drive mechanisms to bond the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2. The liquid crystal panel 1 9 (Fig. 1), at this time, the pressing force is applied to the upper and lower substrates by the pressure sensor provided on the drive shaft of the upper table 78 and pressed to a predetermined pressure. When the bonding of 2 is completed, the upper table 78 is raised to peel off the liquid crystal panel 19 which is adhered and held. When the liquid crystal panel 19 which is adhered and held is peeled off, as described above, The vacuum adsorption pad for receiving the substrate presses the substrate of the liquid crystal panel 19 At the same time, the upper stage 78 is raised, and the adhered liquid crystal panel 19 can be peeled off. When the vacuum suction pad is attached to the substrate surface of the liquid crystal panel 19, a positive pressure gas can be supplied instead of supplying a negative pressure. Further, when the liquid crystal panel 19 that is adhered and held is peeled off by the upper table 78, the positive pressure gas can be supplied from the vacuum suction port provided on the surface of the upper table 78, so that the peeling can be shortened. The bonding member, that is, the time of the upper substrate 2 of the liquid crystal panel 19. After the bonding of the upper and lower substrates 1, 2, the end of the upper table 7 is separated from the substrate 2 on the liquid crystal surface - 34 - 201142410 board 19 The bonding member on the lower substrate 1 side, that is, the lower substrate 1 of the liquid crystal panel 19 is peeled off from the lower table 79. In this case, the plurality of substrate supporting pins provided on the lower table 79 side are raised to the ratio The lower surface of the lower table 79 is higher, so that the lower table 79 is moved lower than the roller conveyor belt, and the side of the substrate 1 below the liquid crystal panel 19 can be peeled off from the surface holding the lower table 49. When the table 79 peels off the liquid crystal panel 19, the substrate is supported under the bolt Lowering below the lower surface of the table 79, the liquid crystal panel 19 is delivered to the roll conveyor belt 66 for substrate transfer as shown in Fig. 6. When the liquid crystal panel is delivered on the roll conveyor 66, in the vacuum chamber When the vacuum chamber is in the same state as the atmospheric pressure, the upper vacuum chamber 76 is raised by the upper and lower driving mechanisms of the vacuum chamber, and the upper vacuum chamber 76 is separated by the lower vacuum chamber 77. The roller conveyor belt is irradiated by the ultraviolet irradiation chamber 17 (Fig. 1) The extension is continued to the substrate transfer belt 66 for substrate transfer in the substrate bonding chamber 15'. Next, the liquid crystal panel 19 is sent to the ultraviolet irradiation chamber 17 where the sealing agent is irradiated with ultraviolet rays to harden the sealant. At the end of the hardening of the sealant, it is sent to the panel inspection chamber 18 of the second inspection device for inspection by a roller conveyor. As described above, in the second embodiment, the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2 are carried into the upper table 78 and the lower table 79 at substantially the same time in the substrate bonding apparatus 15 5', so that the upper and lower sides are moved forward. When the substrates 1 and 2 are respectively carried in, the time required for the substrate to be bonded can be shortened. In addition, since the processing chambers in the steps before the bonding of the substrates are arranged in a substantially linear shape, and the roller conveyor belts are used for the conveyance of the upper and lower substrates 1 and 2, the configuration of the table in each processing device may be Approximately the same, the installation area of the device can be reduced, and the production cycle can be shortened. Further, in the substrate inverting device which is extremely unwilling to generate dust, it is possible to suppress the influence of dust on the entire system by making the reversing mechanism for suppressing the movement range of the substrate as much as possible.
