The invention relates to the technical field of display panel
cutting, in particular to a display panel
cutting method based on crack propagation, and mainly solves the technical problems that an existing display panel
cutting method is low in cutting yield, easy to cause cutting damage and high in cutting cost. According to the method, firstly, the starting point of a pre-cutting path is heated and softened through a
laser beam, then a cutting wheel is used for pressing downwards to form a
paddle-tumbler, then a hot crack is formed below the
paddle-tumbler through the
laser beam, and finally the hot crack is guided to move along the pre-cutting path through movement of the
laser beam, so that the display panel is broken automatically. According to the method, only the cutter wheel and the display panel need to be in short contact to complete indentation treatment, transverse cracks caused by long-time contact of the cutter wheel and the display panel can be effectively avoided, and therefore the cutting yield can be increased; and meanwhile, the
laser beams cannot generate dust in the cutting process, so that a complex dust removal and cleaning
system does not need to be arranged, cutting damage can be avoided, and meanwhile the cutting cost is effectively reduced.
