Abstract

The present invention is capable of performing inclination correction to a substrate as the substrate is moved. A substrate carrying line (5) is constituted by a left-side transfer machine (5L) and a right-side transfer machine (5R), in which the left-side transfer machine (5L) and the right-side transfer machine (5R) are respectively located at the left side and the right side in a carrying direction (arrow) of a lower substrate (1). The left-side roller transfer machine (5L) has a row of rollers (21a) in the carrying direction of the lower substrate (1), and the right-side roller transfer machine (5R) also has a row of rollers (21b) in the carrying direction of the lower substrate (1). In addition, the left-side transfer machine (5L) and the right-side transfer machine (5R) are respectively provided with substrate detection sensors (24a, 24b), as shown in Figure 2 (b). When the lower substrate (1) to be carried is inclined, the substrate detection sensors (24a, 24b) of the roller transfer machines (5L, 5R) can detect time differences of timing sequence of the individual sides of the lower substrate (1), so that an inclination angle and an inclination direction of the lower substrate (1) can be detected. In response to the detection results, the carrying speed of the rollers (21a or 21b) of one of the roller transfer machines (5L, 5R) is set to different from the constant speed, thus to make the lower substrate (1) only rotate at the inclination angle.

,2爲上基板,3爲基板搬入機器人,4爲整列機構,5爲第 1搬送線(主線),6爲第2搬送線(副線),7爲糊塗布機 (密封劑分布器),8爲短路電極形成用塗布機,9爲液晶 滴下裝置,10爲第1檢測室,11爲基板反轉裝置,12爲移 載室,13爲機器手臂,14爲前處理室,15爲基板貼合室( 真空腔室),16爲後處理室,17爲紫外線照射室,18爲第 2檢測室(面板檢測室),19爲貼合基板(液晶基板), 20爲第3搬送線。 於該圖設置:第1搬送線(主線)5,用於搬送下基板 1 ;及第2搬送線(副線)6,用於搬送形成有TFT (薄膜電 晶體)等之上基板2。搬送洗淨後之上基板2及下基板1的 第1搬送線5及第2搬送線6,係由滾筒以1列配列於搬送方 向的滾筒輸送機(roller conveyor)或帶狀輸送機(belt conveyor)構成。2個滾筒輸送機或帶狀輸送機,係於基 板移動方向之左右方向被分割而配置,分別藉由個別之驅 動機構進行驅動控制。以下說明滾筒輸送機之構成。上下 基板1、2分別搬送於滾筒輸送機上。 於第1搬送線5之前側設置:基板搬入機器人3,用於 -10- 201210919 將洗淨後之下基板1搬入該系統;及整列機構4,用於由基 板搬入機器人3進行下基板1之整列。第1搬送線5係由整列 機構4受取下基板1,以下基板1之貼合面朝上而使第1搬送

檢測所塗布之密封劑或低下之液晶等之狀態。該第1檢測 室10所檢測過之下基板1,係藉由設於移載室12之機器手 臂13,被搬送至設於前處理室14與第2檢測室U之間的第3 搬送線20。第3搬送線20亦由滾筒輸送機形成。藉由第3搬 送線20,首先,使下基板1被搬送至基板搬入側之前處理 室14內》另外,經由第2搬送線6被搬送來的上基板2’係 於基板反轉裝置11被反轉表背面之後,藉由設於移載室12 之機器手臂13,被搬入前處理室14內。 於前處理室14亦設有:保持上基板2而將其搬入基板 貼合室(真空腔室)15的機器手臂(未圖示):及用於搬 送下基板1的滾筒輸送機(未圖示)。另外’於前處理室 1 4設置使滾筒輸送機伸縮的輸送機伸縮機構(未圖示)’ 當設於前處理室14與基板貼合室15之間的閘閥(未圖示) -11 - 201210919 打開時,藉由該輸送機伸縮機構可使滾筒輸送機越過閘閥 而可以連接於基板貼合室15之滾筒輸送機。 上下基板1、2被搬入前處理室14之後’設於前處理室 14之基板搬入側之入口的閘閥(未圖示)被關閉,藉由真 空泵(未圖示)使前處理室Μ內被排氣至特定真空度(約 150Torr:以下稱此爲半真空)。前處理室14成爲半真空 狀態後,其和基板貼合室1 5之間之閘閥被打開,滾筒輸送 機藉由輸送機伸縮機構延伸至基板貼合室15側而連接於基 板貼合室15之滾筒輸送機。下基板1於該滾筒輸送機上移 動而被搬入基板貼合室15內,另外,藉由機器手臂將上基 板2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。於前處理室14設置:受取下基板1並搬送至基板 貼合室15之下平台之成爲第3搬送線20的滾筒輸送機;及 受取上基板2並將其移至基板貼合室15之上平台(加壓板 )31 (圖4)的機器手臂28 (圖4)。基板貼合室15之基板 1、2之受取之詳細如後述說明。 基板貼合室1 5之兩基板1、2之交付/受取終了後,彼 等上下基板1、2分別被保持於該上下兩平台46、47 (圖4 )時,由前處理室14所言深知滾筒輸送機係收縮至前處理 室1 4內,上述閘閥被關閉。之後,基板貼合室1 5被排氣至 高真空(約5x1 〇·3Torr )爲止。之後,進行上下兩基板1、 2之定位之同時,下降上平台進行上基板2對下基板1之貼 合。該貼合終了後,基板貼合室1 5內回復半真空狀態,基 板貼合室1 5與後處理室1 6間之閘閥(未圖示)被開放。此 -12- 201210919 時,後處理室1 6成爲半真空狀態。 於後處理室16亦設置輸送機伸縮機構(未圖示)。當 其與基板貼合室15之間的閘閥打開時,設於後處理室16的 該輸送機伸縮機構會動作,滾筒輸送機由後處理室16延伸 而連接於基板貼合室15之滾筒輸送機,上下基板1、2被貼 合而成的貼合基板(亦即液晶基板)1 9將被搬入後處理室 16。貼合基板19被搬入後處理室16之後,滾筒輸送機被收 縮至後處理室16內,設於後處理室16與基板貼合室15之間 的閘閥被關閉,後處理室1 6內被設爲大氣狀態。後處理室 1 6內成爲大氣狀態之後,後處理室1 6與紫外線照射室1 7之 間之閘閥(未圖示)被打開,藉由設於後處理室1 6之輸送 機伸縮機構(未圖示),而被連接於紫外線照射室1 7之滾 筒輸送機。液晶基板19於該滾筒輸送機上移動而被搬入紫 外線照射室1 7內。於此,密封劑被照射紫外線而使密封劑 硬化。密封劑之硬化結束後,液晶基板1 9被搬送至滾筒輸 送機上,被搬送至第2檢測室(面板檢測室)1 8進行檢測 如上述說明,將各處理室1 4〜1 8並列爲大略直線狀, 一部分使用機器手臂,但是因爲基板之搬送大致全體使用 滾筒輸送機之構成,可抑制裝置之設置面積於最小限。 另外,藉由上述之系統構成來製造貼合基板(亦即液 晶基板)1 9,於該液晶基板貼合系統’基板1、2之搬送大 部分藉由滾筒輸送機進行,和習知使用機器手臂搬送比較 ,上下基板1、2之搬送方向於順時針方向或逆時針方向之 -13- 201210919 旋轉傾斜、定位精確度有可能降低。因此,需要防止搬送 路上停止時產生之傾斜,以使上下基板1、2傳遞至各處理 裝置上時之位置偏移。因此,於該實施形態中,在第1搬 送線5或第2搬送線6之滾筒輸送機將基板1、2傳遞至各處 理部之前側,配置進行定位(亦即檢測出上下基板1、2之 旋轉(傾斜),補正該傾斜)用的檢測感測器。 圖2表示圖1所示液晶基板組裝系統之中之本發明之基 板搬送裝置及基板傾斜補正方法的一實施形態之槪略構成 圖。圖2(a)表示基板(此爲下基板1之例)以正常姿勢 搬送之狀態,圖2(b)表示基板以旋轉(傾斜)狀態搬送

之前端時,控制手段判斷下基板1未傾斜而以正確狀態被 搬送,繼續旋轉驅動驅動馬達23a、23 b而搬送下基板1。 如圖2(b)所示,假設下基板1由進行方向看時(以 下同樣)朝逆時針旋轉方向旋轉(傾斜)而被搬送(亦即 下基板1之左邊部側較左邊部側較慢被搬送),如此則, -15- 201210919 配置於左側滾筒輸送機5L與右側滾筒輸送機5R之基板檢測 感測器24a、24b無法同時檢測出下基板1,首先,右側滾 筒輸送機5R之基板檢測感測器24b (以下稱爲右側基板檢 測感測器24b )檢測出下基板1,之後,左側滾筒輸送機5 L 之基板檢測感測器24a (以下稱爲左側基板檢測感測器24a )檢測出下基板1,在右側基板檢測感測器24b檢測出下基 板1至左側基板檢測感測器24a檢測出下基板1之期間,係 維持該時之移動速度(以下稱奇爲定常速度)而搬送下基 板1。之後,當左側基板檢測感測器24a檢測出下基板1時 ,增速左側驅動馬達23 a而使下基板1之左邊部側較左邊部 側(亦即較定常速度)快的移動速度(以下稱其爲傾斜補 正速度)予以搬送。如此則,下基板1被搬送之同時,朝 逆時針方向旋轉,而使該下基板1之傾斜被補正。 如上述說明,爲補正下基板1之傾斜,而藉由控制部 (未圖示)求出,自右側基板檢測感測器24b檢測出下基 板1之左邊部側至左側基板檢測感測器24a檢測出下基板1 之左邊部側爲止之時間,依據該時間求出下基板1之傾斜 方向及傾斜量,依據彼等而算出移動事先決定之特定距離 時該下基板1之傾斜被補正用的下基板1之移動速度,以其 作爲傾斜補正速度,依據該傾斜補正速度使下基板1之左 邊部移動,如此而設定左側之驅動馬達23a之旋轉速度。 如此則,下基板1之左邊部以該傾斜補正速度移動,下基 板1之左邊部以定常速度移動,下基板1被搬送之同時朝逆 時針旋轉方向旋轉,而使逆時針方向之旋轉引起之傾斜被 -16- 201210919 補正。 如上述說明,於滾筒輸送機上無須停止下基板1之搬 送,可以補正下基板1之傾斜,因此,於圖1之糊塗布機7 或液晶滴下裝置9、基板貼合室15等平台載置下基板1時, 無須進行下基板1之定位,可縮短作業時間。 於上述各裝置設置進行各種處理之平台,於各平台具 備基板定位機構用於界定下基板1之停止位置。該定位機 構,係由在基板搬送方向之直角方向界定下基板1之左右 兩邊部側之進行的上下移動之2個制動銷構成。下基板1於 滾筒輸送機上被搬送至裝置內時,該制動銷變爲較滾筒輸 送機更突出於上方,以停止下基板1之移動,而阻止該下 基板1之進行。 圖3表示圖1所示液晶基板組裝系統之中之本發明之基 板搬送裝置及基板傾斜補正方法的另一實施形態之槪略構 成圖。圖3 ( a

輸送機25!開始被搬送。於區間滾筒輸送機25! ’首先’基 板檢測感測器24ai、24b,之中之基板檢測感測器24b !檢測 出下基板1之左邊部通過(圖3(b)之時刻ΤΊ)。下基板1 係於圖3 ( b )之時刻TQ以加速度!開始搬送’時刻T!之 下基板1之移動速度,如圖3 (b)所示,爲定常速度之νι (例如Vi= 750mm/sec)。以該定常速度Vifj進距離^^之 -19- 201210919 後,基板檢測感測器24a!檢測出下基板1之左邊部(圖3 ( b )之時刻T2 ),該檢測出之後,控制部(未圖示)由下 基板1之彼等基板檢測感測器24b !、24ai之檢測時間差( T2-T!)、下基板1之搬送速度V!、以及基板檢測感測器 24ai、24bds1之距離K,求出下基板1之傾斜角0 (Mar^V, •((TVTO/K)。 求出下基板1之傾斜量0之後(圖3 ( b )亦爲時刻T2 ),控制部對區間滾筒輸送機25 i之驅動馬達23&1下達指令 以加速度α ,增速至傾斜補正速度V2,於時間tl使區間滾筒 輸送機25i之左側滾筒輸送機之滾筒21a,增速至傾斜補正速 度V2。使增速之一方之下基板1之邊部(亦即左邊部)以 該傾斜補正速度V2移動t2時間後(其引起之移動距離ADi ,此時,下基板1之右邊部以定常速度V!移動),以減速 度α 2減速,而設爲定常速度Vi。該滾筒輸送機(亦即該 第1搬送線5 (圖1 ))所搬送之下基板1之間隔設爲1時, 以使由時刻ΤΊ至時刻(Ti+q+h+h)爲止移動之距離X 成爲x= lsin0的方式,使傾斜補正速度V2增速(但是, 區間滾筒輸送機25!、2 5 2、2 5 3之間隔設爲大於該距離X者 )° 藉由以上處理,下基板1之傾斜被補正,其之傾斜角 0成爲0或變小,之後,下基板1被搬送距離ΔΙ^,進入次 一區間滾筒輸送機2 5 2,於其之基板檢測感測器24a2、24b2 進行同樣之下基板1之邊部之檢測(圖3 ( b )之時刻T3、 Τ4),該下基板1存在傾斜時,和區間滾筒輸送機251同樣 -20- 201210919 進行傾斜方向或傾斜角之檢測,進行該傾斜角之補正。於 圖3 ( b ),於區間滾筒輸送機2 52,自時刻T4起增速至和 該時檢測出之傾斜角0對應之傾斜補正速度V3,而僅移動 距離AD!,如此而進行該檢測出之傾斜角0之補正。另外 ,於區間滾筒輸送機2 53,自時刻T6起增速至和該時檢測 出之傾斜角0對應之傾斜補正速度V4,而僅移動距離AD3 ,如此而進行該檢測出之傾斜角0之補正。 又,於區間滾筒輸送機25i藉由傾斜角之補正,而於 下基板1不存在傾斜時,於區間滾筒輸送機2 52、2 5 3未被檢 測出傾斜,因此,不進行傾斜角之補正,下基板1全體以 定常速度乂!被搬送,另外,於區間滾筒輸送機252藉由傾 斜角之補正,而於下基板1不存在傾斜時,於區間滾筒輸 送機2 5 3未被檢測出傾斜,因此,不進行傾斜角之補正, 下基板1全體以定常速度乂>被搬送。 圖3 ( b )更詳細說明如下,上述控制部,係由檢測出 之應補正之傾斜量,對應於傾斜方向,求出左側/右側滾 筒輸送機之其中之一方之增速之速度。其中,區間滾筒輸 送機2 5 i之傾斜量之補正量未到達檢測出之傾斜量,因此 ,於該區間滾筒輸送機25!被實施補正處理的下基板1,會 殘留傾斜量,因此和區間滾筒輸送機25 ,同樣,於區間滾 筒輸送機252亦進行下基板1之傾斜角之檢測,而進行其之 補正處理。但是,區間滾筒輸送機252檢測出之傾斜量, 係小於區間滾筒輸送機25 !檢測出之傾斜量,因此,由該 區間滾筒輸送機252之定常速度乂1被增速之傾斜補正速度 -21 - 201210919 ,係如圖3 ( b )所示,設爲較V3及區間滾筒輸送機25 !被 增速之傾斜補正速度V2爲小。將加速度之値設爲和區間滾 筒輸送機25i之加速度〇:|相等,設爲較被增速之傾斜補正 速度V2小的傾斜補正速度V3者。以該傾斜補正速度V3使區 間滾筒輸送機2 52行進特定距離AD2之後,設爲藉由和區間 滾筒輸送機25,相同之減速度α 2由該傾斜補正速度V3減速 之定常速度V!移動之狀態。 於區間滾筒輸送機252之另一側之滾筒輸送機,使下 基板1以一定之定常速度V|移動。如此則,因爲傾斜而較 慢之下基板1之側變爲行進較快,被補正成爲爲傾斜狀態 ,但是加速度之狀態亦有可能無法成爲理想値,而使傾斜 無閥成爲容許値。因此,藉由區間滾筒輸送機2 53之基板 檢測感測器24a3、24b3檢測出下基板1之傾斜。該檢測結果 之動作係和區間滾筒輸送機25i之情況同樣進行。亦即, 如圖3 ( b )所示,藉由區間滾筒輸送機2 5 3之後檢測出( 時刻T6 )下基板1之側之滾筒輸送機使下基板1之該側增速 而進行傾斜補正。此情況下之增速之傾斜補正速度V4,係 成爲較區間滾筒輸送機25之增速之傾斜補正速度V3小之速 度。 藉由該傾斜補正使下基板1之傾斜成爲容許範圍內, 停止於特定位置。又,如此而使下基板1最終停止時,如 圖3(b)所示,係使移動速度減速至速度V5,定位於事先 決定之停止位置而停止。另外,該停止位置,係如上述說 明,上下移動至較滾筒輸送機之高度位置更高的位置而設 -22- 201210919 爲制動銷之位置,藉由該制動銷使基板1停止亦可。 又,針對上基板2亦和上述同樣。 如上述說明,基板之傾斜補正可以在不停止基板之移 動下進行,可以大幅縮短基板之搬送時間之同時,無須設 置傾斜補正所要時間》 又,於圖3之實施形態係說明,藉由滾筒輸送機使之 後檢測出之側之基板之邊部增速至傾斜補正速度,而進行 基板之傾斜補正。但是,同一滾筒輸送機之2個檢測感測 器之中,使之後檢測出之側之基板之邊部之搬送速度保持 一定,使先前檢測出之側之基板之邊部由定常速度減速, 如此而進行基板之傾斜補正,亦可獲得和上述同樣效果。 但是,圖1之上述裝置之各平台,係構成爲可藉由驅 動機構(未圖示)上下移動,藉由滾筒輸送機使下基板1 被搬送至該平台上而停止滾筒輸送機時,藉由該平台之上 升可使下基板1由滾筒輸送機傳遞至平台面上。另外,在 設於平台之滾筒輸送機設置上下移動機構,使滾筒輸送機 移動至平台面之下而進行基板之傳遞亦可。 圖4表示圖1之基板貼合室15之一具體例及於該基板貼

於該圖,於前處理室14(圖1),於其之下側設有: 具備伸縮之輸送機伸縮機構26的滾筒輸送機27,於其之天 井側設置機器手臂28。於基板貼合室15與前處理室14之間 設有閘閥33,基板貼合室15內通常被保持於特定真空度。 另外,於基板貼合室1 5與後處理室1 6 (圖1 )之間設有閘 閥36。基板貼合室15,如圖所示,係成爲真空腔室,於其 中設置保持下基板1的下平台34及保持上基板2的上平台31 〇 於前處理室14之滾筒輸送機27設置輸送機伸縮機構26 ,當設於基板貼合室15與前處理室14之間的閘閥33打開時 ,藉由該輸送機伸縮機構26可使前處理室14之滾筒輸送機 27伸縮連接於基板貼合室15之滾筒輸送機,而將下基板1 搬至下平台34上。基板之貼合時,係藉由驅動機構(未圖 示)使上平台31下降至下平台34側而可以進行下基板1與 上基板2之貼合。_ 在設於前處理室14的機器手臂28之指部29,設有複數 個吸附焊墊30。另外,如上述說明,於前處理室14之上平 台31側,亦設置複數個伸縮自如之黏著焊墊(吸附銷)32 ,使上平台31側之黏著焊墊32下降至機器手臂28之指部29 之間而可以吸附保持上基板2。於彼等吸附焊墊3 〇、3 2, 設置對其中心部供給負壓的供給口(未圖示)’藉由對該 供給口供給負壓而吸附上基板2。另外’關於負壓源或供 給配管之圖示被省略。 -24- 201210919 如上述說明,於上基板2之交付/受取時’係以可以藉 由負壓進行吸附的方式,將前處理室14及基板貼合室15內 設爲半真空狀態,供給至吸附焊墊30、32之負壓係設爲較 其更高之真空度。 由上基板2之前處理室14至基板貼合室15之交付/受取 時,係於機器手臂28側之吸附焊墊30與上平台31側之黏著 焊墊32之兩方保持上基板2之後,停止對機器手臂2 8側之 吸附焊墊30之負壓供給,使機器手臂2 8及伸長之滾筒輸送 機27退縮至前處理室14»之後,藉由黏著焊墊32將上基板 2上推至上平台31之面上,而且可以藉由彼等複數個黏著 焊墊32予以保持。因此,即使提升真空度時,亦可藉由黏 著力量使上基板2保持於上平台31而不會掉落。 下基板1與上基板2之貼合終了後,在上基板2被按壓 至上平台31之狀態下,將黏著焊墊32上推至較上平台31之 面更上側,而可由上基板2之面剝離黏著焊墊32。另外, 此時,由設於黏著焊墊32中央部之負壓供給口吹出正壓氣 體,而可以容易剝離黏著焊墊32。 又,於下平台34設有黏著片(黏著構件)(未圖示) 及複數個負壓供給口,使下基板1被保持而不會移動。由 下基板1剝離該黏著構件時,可以使下平台34不移動’由 設於黏著片中央部之負壓供給口供給壓縮氣體而予以剝離 。另外,亦可於負壓供給口中央部設置上下銷,藉由上下 銷推舉下基板1,而由下基板1將黏著構件予以剝離。 設於前處理室14之滾筒輸送機27,其構造爲可以藉由 -25- 201210919 伸縮機構26而伸縮至基板貼合室15側,在前處理室14與基 板貼合室15之間之閘閥33關閉時係縮至前處理室14側,在 閘閥33打開而可以搬送下基板1至基板貼合室15內時,係 伸長至基板貼合室15側,針對設於基板貼合室15之基板交 付/受取用之滾筒輸送機3

之間之閘閥36打開時,滾筒輸送機38伸長至基板貼合室15 側而連接於基板交付/受取用之滾筒輸送機35,由該滾筒 輸送機35介由滾筒輸送機38,使經由基板貼合完成之液晶 基板19由基板貼合室15被搬出,被搬送至後處理室16。 又,於此可以大略同時進行上下基板1、2之搬入基板 貼合室1 5以及載置保持於上下平台3 1、34,如此則,可以 大幅縮短貼合基扳1 9之組裝時間。 如上述說明,上下基板1、2由前處理室14分別被保持 於基板貼合室15之上平台31、下平台34時,閘閥33被關閉 。基板貼合室15與後處理室16之間之閘閥36是先輩關閉。 閘閥3 3關閉後,使基板貼合室1 5由半真空狀態切換爲高真 空狀態而進行上下基板1、2之貼合。雖未圖示,於基板貼 -26- 201210919 合室15之室外’設置使上平台31上下移動之驅動機構或使 黏著焊墊32上下移動之驅動機構,設於彼等驅動機構之動 力傳動軸係連結於上平台31或黏著焊墊32,藉由座動該驅 動機構而使黏著焊墊32或上平台31上下移動,而進行上下 基板1、2之貼合。於該貼合時係使上平台31移動至下平台 3 4側。 上下基板1、2之貼合終了後,如上述說明,設定基板 貼合室15內成爲半真空狀態,將事先設爲半真空狀態之後 處理室16設爲高真空狀態。當基板貼合室15內成爲半真空 狀態時,閘閥36被打開,滾筒輸送機38由後處理室16伸長 至基板貼合室15內,基板交付/受取用之滾筒輸送機35上 之上下基板1、2被貼合而成爲液晶基板19的製成物將被搬 送後處理室1 6。液晶基板1 9被搬入後處理室1 6之後,閘閥 3 6被關閉,後處理室16內回復大氣狀態。藉由後處理室16 之回復大氣狀態,使貼合基板19全體被均勻施加大氣壓, 而使上下基板1、2間之間隔成爲正常間隔。之後,於圖1 ,藉由構成第3搬送線20之滾筒輸送機將液晶基板1 9搬送 至紫外線照射室1 7。於此,藉由照射紫外線使密封劑硬化 。密封劑之硬化終了後,同樣藉由滾筒輸送機將液晶基板 1 9搬送至面板檢測室1 8,檢測其狀態而搬送至次一工程。 如上述說明,於該具體例之構成中,於圖4中爲將基 板貼合室1 5內之狀態重複設爲半真空狀態與高真空狀態, 而於前後設置前處理室1 4與後處理室1 6,於彼等側分別設 置閘閥3 3、3 6而進行開/閉,進行上下基板1、2之受取及 -27- 201210919 貼合後之液晶基板19之送出。如上述說明,藉由重複將基 板貼合室1 5內之狀態切換爲半真空狀態與高真空狀態,而 可以達成基板貼合室15內設爲真空狀態之時間之短縮之同 時,可防止基板貼合室15內之潔淨度之降低。 另外,大略同時將上下基板1、2搬入基板貼合室15內 ,而保持於上平台31與下平台34,因此,和習知分別搬入 之情況下比較可以縮短貼合所要時間。 另外,將進行基板貼合前之工程之各處理室之配置配 置爲大略直線狀,而構成爲使用滾筒輸送機進行上下基板 1、2之搬送,因此各處理裝置之平台構成可設爲大略同一 構成,而且可縮小裝置之設置面積,可縮短作業時間。 另外,基板係於滾筒輸送機或帶狀輸送機上被搬送, 而且基板之水平方向之傾斜補正,可於搬送中、而且無須 停止基板之移動狀態下進行,因此無須於平台上進行傾斜 補正,可提升作業時間。 (發明效果) 依據本發明,可將自塗布基板貼合用之密封劑的塗布 裝置至貼合裝置或密封劑硬化裝置(紫外線照射裝置)等 以大略串聯予以配置之同時,針對下基板或貼合完了之液 晶基板之搬送,則使用左右個別驅動方式之滾筒輸送機進 行搬送,可於各裝置之前進行基板傾斜之補正,而且可將 上下基板同時搬入貼合裝置或貼合室,可以大幅縮短液晶 基板之製造時間,而且於各裝置之前進行基板傾斜之補正 -28- 201210919 ,因此可以大幅提升塗布或貼合精確度。 【圖式簡單說明】 圖1表示具備本發明之基板搬送裝置及基板傾斜補正 方法的液晶基板組裝系統之全體配置平面圖。 圖2表示圖1所示液晶基板組裝系統之中之本發明之基 板搬送裝置及基板傾斜補正方法的一實施形態之槪略構成 圖。 圖3表示圖1所示液晶基板組裝系統之中之本發明之基 板搬送裝置及基板傾斜補正方法的另一實施形態之槪略構 成圖。

The liquid crystal substrate bonding system 'substrate 1, Most of the 2 transports are carried out by roller conveyors. Compared with the use of robotic arm transfer, Upper and lower substrates 1, 2 The conveying direction is clockwise or counterclockwise -13- 201210919 Rotating tilt, Positioning accuracy may be reduced. therefore, Need to prevent the tilt generated when the road stops, To make the upper and lower substrates 1, 2 The positional shift when it is transmitted to each processing device. therefore, In this embodiment, The roller conveyor on the first transfer line 5 or the second transfer line 6 sets the substrate 1, 2 passed to the front side of the management department, Configuration for positioning (ie, detecting the upper and lower substrates 1, 2 rotation (tilt), Correct the detector for the tilt).  Fig. 2 is a schematic block diagram showing an embodiment of a substrate transfer apparatus and a substrate tilt correction method of the present invention in the liquid crystal substrate assembly system shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 2(a) shows a state in which the substrate (this is an example of the lower substrate 1) is transported in a normal posture. Fig. 2(b) shows a state in which the substrate is conveyed in a rotating (tilted) state. 5L is the left roller conveyor, 5R is the right roller conveyor,  21a, 21b is a roller, 22a, 22b is the power transmission shaft, 23a, 23b is the drive motor, 24a, 24b is a substrate detecting sensor, The same reference numerals are given to portions corresponding to the above-described drawings, and overlapping description will be omitted. Here, the first transport line 5 will be described. However, the second transport line 6 is also the same. In addition, Although the lower substrate 1 is explained, However, the upper substrate 2 is also the same.  In the figure, The first conveyor line 5 formed by the roller conveyor, The drum 21a is disposed on the left and right sides thereof, 2 lb, Via the power transmission shaft 22a, 2 2b is connected to the left and right rollers 21a, 21b drive motor 23a, 23b»drive motor 23a, The driving force of 23b is based on the power transmission shaft 22a, 22b is transferred to the drum 21a, 21b, Rotating the driving roller 21a in this manner, 21b. The lower substrate 1 is placed on the rollers 21a, In the state on 21b, 'rotately drives the rollers 21a, 21b allows the lower substrate 1 to be transported in the direction of the arrow.  a row of rollers 21a, Power transmission shaft 22a, And the drive motor 23a is -14 - 201210919 into the left roller conveyor 5L, a row of rollers 21b, Power transmission shaft 22b, And the drive motor 2 3 b forms a right roller conveyor 5 R, The left roller conveyor 5 L is disposed on the left side with respect to the conveying direction of the lower substrate 1 (shown by a white arrow). The right roller conveyor 5R is disposed on the right side. Further, the left side portion of the lower substrate 1 is placed on the column 21a of the left side roller conveyor 5L, The right side portion of the lower substrate 1 is placed on the roller 2 1 b of the right roller conveyor 5L, The left roller conveyor 5L and the right roller conveyor 5L are held apart.  The first conveyance line 5 of the roller conveyor constituted by the left side roller conveyor 5L and the right side roller conveyor 5R is used. The substrate detecting sensor 24a is disposed in a right angle direction (left and right direction) of the transport direction, 24b, It is used to detect the passage of the left and right sides of the lower substrate 1. When the lower substrate 1 is transferred to the front side of the platform (not shown) of the paste coater 7 (FIG. 1), The sensor 24a is detected by the substrate provided on the first transport line 5, 24b detects the left and right sides of the lower substrate 1 (the lower substrate 1 is shown in FIG. 2 through the substrate detecting sensor 24a, State after 24b).  The substrate detecting sensor 24a on each of the left and right sides, When one of the 24b detects the side of the lower substrate 1, Controlled by a control means (not shown),  The drive motor 23a or 23b on the side detected is stopped. As shown in Figure 2 (a), The substrate detecting sensor 24a, When 24b simultaneously detects the front end of each side of the lower substrate 1, The control means judges that the lower substrate 1 is not tilted and is transported in the correct state. Continue to rotate the drive motor 23a, 23 b and transport the lower substrate 1.  As shown in Figure 2(b), It is assumed that the lower substrate 1 is rotated (tilted) in the counterclockwise direction when viewed in the forward direction (the same as below), that is, the left side of the lower substrate 1 is transported more slowly than the left side. So,  -15- 201210919 The substrate detecting sensor 24a disposed on the left side roller conveyor 5L and the right side roller conveyor 5R, 24b cannot detect the lower substrate 1 at the same time, First of all, The substrate detecting sensor 24b of the right side roller conveyor 5R (hereinafter referred to as the right side substrate detecting sensor 24b) detects the lower substrate 1, after that, The substrate detecting sensor 24a of the left roller conveyor 5 L (hereinafter referred to as the left substrate detecting sensor 24a) detects the lower substrate 1, While the right substrate detecting sensor 24b detects that the lower substrate 1 is detected by the lower substrate 1 to the left substrate detecting sensor 24a, The lower substrate 1 is transported while maintaining the moving speed at this time (hereinafter referred to as the constant speed). after that, When the left substrate detecting sensor 24a detects the lower substrate 1, The left side drive motor 23a is increased in speed, and the left side of the lower substrate 1 is transported faster than the left side (i.e., the constant speed). So, While the lower substrate 1 is being transported, Rotate counterclockwise, The inclination of the lower substrate 1 is corrected.  As explained above, To correct the tilt of the lower substrate 1, And by the control unit (not shown), The time from when the right substrate detecting sensor 24b detects the left side of the lower substrate 1 to when the left substrate detecting sensor 24a detects the left side of the lower substrate 1, According to the time, the tilt direction and the tilt amount of the lower substrate 1 are obtained. The moving speed of the lower substrate 1 for correcting the tilt of the lower substrate 1 when the specific distance determined in advance by the movement is calculated is calculated based on Using it as the tilt correction speed, The left side of the lower substrate 1 is moved according to the tilt correction speed, In this way, the rotational speed of the drive motor 23a on the left side is set.  So, The left side of the lower substrate 1 moves at the tilt correction speed, The left side of the lower substrate 1 moves at a constant speed. The lower substrate 1 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction while being conveyed. The tilt caused by the rotation in the counterclockwise direction is corrected by -16-201210919.  As explained above, It is not necessary to stop the conveyance of the lower substrate 1 on the roller conveyor, The tilt of the lower substrate 1 can be corrected, therefore, The paste coater 7 or the liquid crystal dropping device 9 of Fig. 1 When the lower substrate 1 is placed on a platform such as the substrate bonding chamber 15  There is no need to position the lower substrate 1, Can shorten the working time.  A platform for performing various processes on each of the above devices, A substrate positioning mechanism is provided on each platform for defining a stop position of the lower substrate 1. The positioning mechanism, It is composed of two brake pins that move up and down in the direction perpendicular to the substrate transport direction to define the left and right sides of the lower substrate 1. When the lower substrate 1 is transported to the apparatus on the roller conveyor, The brake pin becomes more prominent above the drum conveyor, To stop the movement of the lower substrate 1, The lower substrate 1 is prevented from proceeding.  Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing another embodiment of a substrate transfer apparatus and a substrate tilt correction method of the present invention in the liquid crystal substrate assembly system shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3(a) shows a tilt correction process in which the substrate (this is an example of the lower substrate 1) is corrected from the tilt posture to the normal posture.

When the interval between the substrates 1 conveyed by the roller conveyor (that is, the first conveyance line 5 (Fig. 1)) is 1,  The method of moving the distance X from the time ΤΊ to the time (Ti+q+h+h) to x=lsin0, Increase the tilt correction speed V2 (however,  Zone roller conveyor 25! , 2 5 2 2 5 3 interval is set to be greater than the distance X) ° By the above processing, The inclination of the lower substrate 1 is corrected, Its inclination angle 0 becomes 0 or becomes smaller, after that, The lower substrate 1 is transported by a distance ΔΙ^, Enter the next interval roller conveyor 2 5 2, The substrate detecting sensor 24a2 24b2 performs the same detection of the side of the substrate 1 (at time T3 of Fig. 3 (b),  Τ4), When the lower substrate 1 is tilted, Same as the interval roller conveyor 251 -20- 201210919 Check the tilt direction or tilt angle, The correction of the tilt angle is performed. In Figure 3 (b), For the interval roller conveyor 2 52, Since the time T4 is increased to the tilt correction speed V3 corresponding to the tilt angle 0 detected at that time, And only move distance AD! , In this way, the correction of the detected tilt angle 0 is performed. In addition, For the interval roller conveyor 2 53, Since the time T6 is increased to the tilt correction speed V4 corresponding to the tilt angle 0 detected at that time, And only move the distance AD3, In this way, the correction of the detected tilt angle 0 is performed.  also, The interval roller conveyor 25i is corrected by the tilt angle, When the lower substrate 1 is not tilted, For the interval roller conveyor 2 52, 2 5 3 has not been detected, therefore, No correction of the tilt angle is performed, The entire lower substrate 1 is at a constant speed! Being transported, In addition, The interval roller conveyor 252 is corrected by the inclination angle, When there is no tilt on the lower substrate 1, The tilt is not detected in the interval roller conveyor 2 5 3 therefore, No correction of the tilt angle is performed,  The entire lower substrate 1 is at a constant speed 乂> It is carried.  Figure 3 (b) is explained in more detail below, The above control unit, Based on the detected amount of tilt that should be corrected, Corresponding to the tilt direction, Find the speed of one of the left/right roller conveyors. among them, The correction amount of the tilt amount of the interval roller conveyor 2 5 i does not reach the detected tilt amount, Therefore, In this section of the roller conveyor 25! The lower substrate 1 subjected to the correction processing, Will leave the amount of tilt, Therefore and the interval roller conveyor 25, same, The tilting angle of the lower substrate 1 is also detected by the interval roller conveyor 252. And carry out its correction processing. but, The amount of tilt detected by the interval roller conveyor 252,  It is smaller than the interval roller conveyor 25! The amount of tilt detected, therefore, The tilting correction speed of the constant speed 乂1 of the interval roller conveyor 252 is increased by -21 - 201210919 , As shown in Figure 3 (b), Set to V3 and interval roller conveyor 25! The tilt correction speed V2 that is increased in speed is small. The acceleration 値 is set to the acceleration of the interval roller conveyor 25i 〇: |equal, It is set to the inclination correction speed V3 which is smaller than the inclination correction speed V2 of the speed increase. After the interval roller conveyor 2 52 is advanced by the tilting correction speed V3 by a certain distance AD2, Set with the interval roller conveyor 25, The same deceleration α 2 is decelerated by the tilt correction speed V3 at a constant speed V! The state of movement.  a roller conveyor on the other side of the interval roller conveyor 252, The lower substrate 1 is moved at a constant constant velocity V|. So, The side of the substrate 1 becomes traveling faster because it is inclined and slower, Corrected to be tilted, However, the state of acceleration may not be ideal. However, tilting without valve becomes an allowable flaw. therefore, The sensor 24a3 is detected by the substrate of the interval roller conveyor 2 53 , 24b3 detects the tilt of the lower substrate 1. The operation of this detection result is performed in the same manner as in the case of the section roller conveyor 25i. that is,  As shown in Figure 3 (b), The roller conveyor on the side of the lower substrate 1 is detected (time T6) by the interval roller conveyor 2 5 3 to increase the speed of the lower substrate 1 to perform the inclination correction. In this case, the tilting speed of the speed increase is corrected by V4, It is a speed which is smaller than the inclination correction speed V3 of the speed increase of the interval roller conveyor 25.  By the tilt correction, the tilt of the lower substrate 1 is within an allowable range.  Stop at a specific location. also, When the lower substrate 1 is finally stopped, As shown in Figure 3(b), Slowing down the movement speed to speed V5, Stop at the stop position determined in advance. In addition, The stop position, As explained above, Move up and down to a position higher than the height of the roller conveyor and set -22- 201210919 as the position of the brake pin. The substrate 1 may be stopped by the brake pin.  also, The same applies to the upper substrate 2 as described above.  As explained above, The tilt correction of the substrate can be performed without stopping the movement of the substrate. Can greatly shorten the transfer time of the substrate, There is no need to set the time required for tilt correction. The embodiment of FIG. 3 is illustrated. The side of the substrate on the side detected by the roller conveyor is increased to the tilt correction speed by the roller conveyor. The tilt correction of the substrate is performed. but, Among the two detection sensors of the same roller conveyor, Keeping the conveying speed of the side of the substrate on the side after the detection to be constant, Decreasing the edge of the substrate on the previously detected side from the constant speed,  In this way, the tilt correction of the substrate is performed, The same effect as described above can also be obtained.  but, Figure 1, the platform of the above device, The system is configured to be movable up and down by a driving mechanism (not shown).
