Abstract
Provided is a bending test apparatus for flexible substrate which may increase or maximize reliability. The bending test apparatus includes a table, a first electrode part fixing one side of a flexible substrate on the table, a guide rail disposed adjacent to the first electrode part, the guide rail extending from the one side of the flexible substrate to the other side, a slider moved along the guide rail, and a second electrode part connected to the slider, the second electrode part approaching or spacing the other side of the flexible substrate to/from the first electrode part.
Claims6
A bending test apparatus comprising:
- a table;
- a first electrode part fixing one side of a flexible substrate on the table;
- a guide rail disposed adjacent to the first electrode part, the guide rail extending from the one side of the flexible substrate to other side of the flexible substrate;
- a slider moved along the guide rail;
- and
- a second electrode part connected to the slider, the second electrode part approaching or spacing the other side of the flexible substrate to/from the first electrode part,
- wherein:
- the first and second electrode parts are clamps having grooves in which the one side and the other side of the flexible substrate are inserted, respectively;
- the clamps comprise a lower electrode bar and an upper electrode bar which are respectively engaged with upper and lower portions of the flexible substrate;
- the clamps further comprise electrode shafts coupled to both sides of the lower electrode bar;
- and
- the bending test apparatus further comprises:
- a movement shaft connected between the slider and the second electrode part, the movement shaft extending in a direction parallel to that of the first electrode part;
- and
- second elbows supporting the electrode shafts of the second electrode part on the movement shaft.
