Description
本発明は、表示パネルの製造方法、これに用いられる搬送装置および搬送装置群ならびにオイルミスト発生源特定方法に関するものである。
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a display panel, a transport device and a transport device group used therefor, and an oil mist generation source specifying method.
従来、プラント内機器、車両などの部品からの油漏れを検知し、漏洩膜厚、漏洩面積および漏洩量を演算し、漏洩した油の油種および部位を特定することができる油検知装置が特開平10-311771号公報(特許文献1)に記載されている。
Conventionally, an oil detection device that can detect oil leaks from parts in plant equipment, vehicles, etc., calculate the leak film thickness, leak area, and leak amount, and identify the oil type and part of the leaked oil This is described in Kaihei 10-311771 (Patent Document 1).
特許文献1に記載された油検知装置では、油漏れが現に発生していることが判明している対象物での検知作業しかすることができない。しかし、複数の装置が配置されて稼動しているプラント内において、ある1台の装置が油漏れを起こしている場合、漏れ出た油はその装置の表面に留まっているとは限らず、霧状の微粒子となって浮遊する場合がある。霧状の油の微粒子を以下「オイルミスト」という。オイルミストが空中を移動してきて他の装置または製品に付着した場合には、そのオイルミストがどの装置から発生したものであるかの特定は困難である。
The oil detection apparatus described in Patent Document 1 can only perform detection work on an object for which it has been found that an oil leak has actually occurred. However, in a plant in which a plurality of devices are arranged and operating, when one device is leaking oil, the leaked oil does not always remain on the surface of the device, May float in the form of fine particles. The atomized oil particles are hereinafter referred to as “oil mist”. When the oil mist moves in the air and adheres to other devices or products, it is difficult to specify from which device the oil mist is generated.
ところで、一般的に、表示パネルの製造方法においては、基板に対して、洗浄工程、溶媒塗布工程、検査工程などの多くの工程が実施され、これらの工程間においては基板搬送ロボットが基板を搬送する。そのような製造方法のフローチャートの一例を図7に示す。製造方法の全体の中では、基板搬送ロボットによって基板を搬送する工程が何度も繰り返される。図7に示した例では、基板搬送ロボットによって基板を搬送する工程はR1~R3で示されている。
By the way, in general, in a display panel manufacturing method, a substrate is subjected to many processes such as a cleaning process, a solvent application process, and an inspection process, and a substrate transport robot transports the substrate between these processes. To do. An example of a flowchart of such a manufacturing method is shown in FIG. In the entire manufacturing method, the process of transporting the substrate by the substrate transport robot is repeated many times. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the steps of transporting the substrate by the substrate transport robot are indicated by R1 to R3.
各基板搬送ロボットのおおまかな構造を図8に示す。基板搬送ロボット100は、移動体1とスライダ駆動部2とを備える。移動体1は基板3を載せるための載置部4を備える。スライダ駆動部2は移動用ガイド5を備える。移動用ガイド5にはグリスが用いられている。移動部1は移動用ガイド5に沿って矢印91の向きに移動することができる。このような基板搬送ロボット100を使用していると、移動用ガイド5に含まれるグリスからオイルミスト7が発生する場合がある。オイルミスト7が基板3に付着すると、のちに微小輝点となるいわゆるハジキ欠陥を発生させてしまう。なお、ここで「表示パネル」とは、液晶表示パネルを含み、液晶以外の方式の表示パネルも含む概念である。ハジキ欠陥の一例を図9に示す。複数の画素電極が配列されている領域の中に、ハジキ欠陥12が生じている。

The moving unit 1 can move in the direction of the arrow 91 along the moving guide 5. When such a substrate transport robot 100 is used, the oil mist 7 may be generated from the grease contained in the movement guide 5. When the oil mist 7 adheres to the substrate 3, a so-called repellency defect that later becomes a fine luminescent spot is generated. Here, the “display panel” is a concept including a liquid crystal display panel and including a display panel of a system other than liquid crystal. An example of a cissing defect is shown in FIG. A repelling defect 12 occurs in a region where a plurality of pixel electrodes are arranged.

そこで、本発明は、表示パネルの製造現場において、オイルミストの発生源を容易に特定することができるようにすることを目的とする。

この表示パネルの製造方法は、基板を用いて表示パネルを製造する方法であって、前記基板に対して少なくとも1つの処理を行なう工程を含み、さらに、nを2以上の整数としたとき1からnの各整数kについて、少なくとも1つのグリス付着部を有する第k搬送装置によって、前記基板を搬送する第k搬送工程を含む。前記第k搬送装置の前記グリス付着部は、第k種類の識別用材料を含んでいる。前記第k種類の識別用材料は、第1種類から第n種類の識別用材料の群の中で第k種類であることが識別可能な特性を有する。 The manufacturing method of the display panel in the present embodiment can be grasped as follows.
This display panel manufacturing method is a method of manufacturing a display panel using a substrate, and includes a step of performing at least one process on the substrate, and when n is an integer of 2 or more, For each integer k of n, a k-th transport step of transporting the substrate by a k-th transport device having at least one grease adhering portion is included. The grease adhering portion of the k-th transport device includes a k-th type identification material. The k-th type identification material has a characteristic that can be identified as being the k-th type in the group of the first to n-th type identification materials.
この表示パネルの製造方法のフローチャートの一例を図4に示す。図4に示した例では処理を行なう工程が第k搬送工程より前で行なわれているが、これは一例に過ぎず、処理を行なう工程が第k搬送工程より後で行なわれてもよい。
FIG. 4 shows an example of a flowchart of the display panel manufacturing method. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the process step is performed before the k-th transport step, but this is only an example, and the process step may be performed after the k-th transport step.
この製造方法では、図1に示したように何らかの処理装置における基板に対する実質的な処理の工程と搬送装置による搬送の工程とが交互に行なわれるとは限らない。ある搬送装置による搬送の後に、基板に対する実質的な処理を行なうことなく、他の搬送装置による搬送が行なわれてもよい。また、搬送装置による搬送の工程を挟むことなく、基板に対するひとつの処理の後に続けて他の処理が行なわれてもよい。この製造方法としては、基板に対して少なくとも1つの処理を行なう工程を含んでいればよい。
In this manufacturing method, as shown in FIG. 1, a substantial processing step for a substrate in a certain processing apparatus and a transporting step by a transporting device are not always performed alternately. After carrying by a certain carrying device, carrying by another carrying device may be performed without performing substantial processing on the substrate. Further, another process may be performed after one process on the substrate without interposing the process of transport by the transport device. This manufacturing method only needs to include a step of performing at least one treatment on the substrate.
「nを2以上の整数としたとき1からnの各整数kについて、少なくとも1つのグリス付着部を有する第k搬送装置によって、前記基板を搬送する第k搬送工程を含む」とは、たとえば、整数nを適当に定めたとき、この製造方法は、第1搬送工程、第2搬送工程、第3搬送工程、…、第n-1搬送工程、第n搬送工程を含むという意味である。各搬送工程は、それぞれ独自の搬送装置によって基板を搬送するものであり、各搬送装置のグリス付着部は、それぞれ識別可能な特性を有する識別用材料を含んでいる。たとえば、識別用材料として蛍光染料を用いる場合であれば、各搬送装置ごとに異なった色の蛍光発光特性を有する蛍光染料が含まれていればよい。
For example, “including a k-th transport step of transporting the substrate by a k-th transport device having at least one grease adhering unit for each integer k from 1 to n when n is an integer of 2 or more” When the integer n is appropriately determined, this manufacturing method means that the first transport step, the second transport step, the third transport step,..., The (n-1) th transport step, and the nth transport step are included. Each transporting process transports a substrate by its own transporting device, and the grease adhering portion of each transporting device includes an identification material having distinguishable characteristics. For example, in the case where a fluorescent dye is used as the identification material, it is only necessary to include fluorescent dyes having fluorescent emission characteristics of different colors for each transport device.

This manufacturing method includes a step of inspecting whether any of the first to n-th type identification materials is attached or not attached to the surface of the substrate after the n-th transport step. It is preferable. This is because the presence or absence of oil mist adhesion can be confirmed more smoothly if the inspection step is included.
この製造方法においては、識別用材料は蛍光染料であり、前記特性は発光色の種類であることが好ましい。このように発光色がそれぞれ異なる蛍光染料を用いれば、容易に識別可能だからである。
