Adhesive attaching apparatus, method of manufacturing display device using the same, and display device manufactured by the same

A display device comprising:

• a substrate including an adhesive tape attaching area;
• an anisotropic conductive film electrically connected to the substrate at the adhesive tape attaching area, the anisotropic conductive film being a portion of a multi-cut adhesive tape;
• and
• an integrated circuit electrically connected to the substrate by the anisotropic conductive film,
• wherein
• the multi-cut adhesive tape includes:
• a cutting width corresponding to a width of the adhesive tape attaching area, and
• along the multi-cut adhesive tape, two intervals opposing each other with the cutting width therebetween, wherein each interval among the two intervals includes a plurality of half-cuts each extended in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, to define the multi-cut adhesive tape, and
• the portion of the multi-cut adhesive tape as the anisotropic conductive film, includes a side surface corresponding to a half-cut among the plurality of half-cuts.

An apparatus for attaching an adhesive conductive layer in a display device, comprising:

• an adhesive tape supplier which supplies an adhesive tape, the adhesive tape including:
• a base film,
• the adhesive conductive layer which is on the base film,
• a cutting width corresponding to a width of an adhesive tape attaching area of a substrate of the display device, the cutting width provided in plurality comprising cutting widths adjacent to each other along the base film, and
• an interval between the cutting widths adjacent to each other along the base film;
• a cutter which provides a plurality of half-cuts in the adhesive tape, at the interval, to define a multi-cut adhesive tape;
• and
• a presser which presses the multi-cut adhesive tape to the substrate, at a first portion of the multi-cut adhesive tape which corresponds to the cutting width, to separate the first portion of the multi-cut adhesive tape from the base film and attach the first portion of the multi-cut adhesive tape to the substrate at the adhesive tape attaching area thereof.
