Abstract
A system for manufacturing a liquid crystal display includes a rotatable stage and a plurality of heads located on the rotatable stage. Each head is separated from each of its neighboring heads by a predetermined distance. The heads are enabled to rotate together with the rotatable stage in order to transport a tape carrier package (TCP). A first head retains the TCP and is located at a first position enabling the TCP to be detected. The first head is located at a second position enabling the first TCP to be pressed. The second position is different from the first position.
Claims20
A system for manufacturing a liquid crystal (LC) comprising:
- a rotatable stage;
- and
- a plurality of heads disposed on the rotatable stage, each head being separated from each of its neighboring heads by a predetermined distance, the heads being enabled to rotate together with the rotatable stage in order to transport a tape carrier package (TCP), a first head retaining the TCP and being disposed at a predetermined first position enabling the TCP to be detected, the first head being disposed at a second position enabling the first TCP to be pressed, the second position being different from the first position.
A system for manufacturing a liquid crystal (LC) display comprising:
- a pressing assembly configured to press a tape carrier package (TCP);
- a plurality of supplying units, each supplying unit being configured to supply TCPs;
- and
- a plurality of transferring units, each transferring unit being configured to transfer a supplied TCP from a supplying unit to the pressing assembly.
A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal (LC) display comprising:
- transferring a first tape carrier package (TCP) from a first supplying unit to a pressing assembly, the pressing assembly including a plurality of heads, each head being adapted to pick up a TCP;
- picking up the first TCP with a pressing assembly first head;
- receiving a second TCP from a second supplying unit while the pressing assembly first head is picking up the first TCP;
- and
- receiving a third TCP from the first supplying unit while the pressing assembly second head is picking up the second TCP.
A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal (LC) display comprising:
- picking up a tape carrier package (TCP) using a first head;
- rotating the first head holding the TCP and subsequently aligning the TCP;
- rotating the first head holding the aligned TCP and subsequently detecting the aligned TCP;
- and
- rotating the first head holding the detected TCP and subsequently pressing the detected TCP on a LC display panel assembly.
