[0050] The advantages and features of the present invention, as well as the methods for achieving these advantages and features, will become clear from the following detailed description of embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but can be implemented in many different forms, and these embodiments are provided merely to make the disclosure of the invention more complete and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the invention is determined only by the scope of the claims.

[0051] When an element or layer is referred to as being "on" another element or layer, this includes both cases where it is directly on the other element or layer and cases where another element or layer is inserted in between. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same constituent elements.

[0052] Although terms like "first," "second," etc., are used to describe various constituent elements, it is clear that these constituent elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one constituent element from another. Therefore, within the scope of the technical concept of this invention, the "first constituent element" mentioned below can also be a "second constituent element."

[0053] Specific embodiments will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Figure 1 This is a plan view of a display device according to one embodiment.

[0055] Display device 1 can refer to any electronic device that provides a display screen. For example, display device 1 may include televisions, laptops, monitors, billboards, mobile phones, smartphones, tablet PCs (personal computers), electronic clocks, smartwatches, watch phones, mobile communication terminals, electronic notebooks, e-books, PMPs (portable multimedia players), navigators, game consoles, digital cameras, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Figure 1 The display device 1 illustrated is a television set. The display device 1 may have high resolution or ultra-high resolution, such as HD, UHD, 4K, 8K, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0056] Display device 1 can be classified into various types according to its display method. For example, display device 1 may include organic light-emitting display (OLED), liquid crystal display (LCD), plasma display panel (PDP), field emission display (FED), electrophoretic display (EPD), etc. Hereinafter, an organic light-emitting display device will be used as an example of display device 1. Unless otherwise specified, the organic light-emitting display device used in the embodiments will be simply referred to as display device 1. However, the embodiments are not limited to organic light-emitting display devices, but within the scope of the shared technical concept, other display devices listed above or known in the art may also be used.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 The display device 1 may include a display area DA and a non-display area NDA.

[0058] The display area DA may include multiple pixels PX. The multiple pixels PX may be arranged along a matrix direction. The shape of each pixel PX in a planar view may be rectangular or square, but is not limited to these shapes; it may also be a rhombus shape with each side inclined relative to one side of the display device 1. The multiple pixels PX may include pixels PX of multiple colors. For example, the multiple pixels PX may include a first-color pixel PX emitting red light, a second-color pixel PX emitting green light, and a third-color pixel PX emitting blue light, but is not limited to these shapes. The pixels PX of different colors may be arranged alternately in a striped or pentile pattern.

[0059] The non-display area NDA can be arranged around the display area DA. The non-display area NDA can completely or partially surround the display area DA. The display area DA can have a rectangular shape, and the non-display area NDA can be arranged adjacent to the four sides of the display area DA. The non-display area NDA can form the frame of the display device 1. The driving circuit or driving element for driving the display area DA can be arranged in the non-display area NDA.

[0060] The display device 1 may include a display panel 100. The display panel 100 may be formed in a rectangular shape on a plane. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the display panel 100 can have a rectangular planar shape, having a long side in a first direction DR1 and a short side in a second direction DR2. The corner where the long side in the first direction DR1 and the short side in the second direction DR2 meet can be a right angle, but the corner can also be a circle with a specified curvature. The planar shape of the display panel 100 is not limited to a rectangle, but can be formed into other polygons, circles, or ellipses.

[0061] The display panel 100 may include a first display substrate 110, a second display substrate 120 opposite to the first display substrate 110, and a filler layer 130 disposed between the first display substrate 110 and the second display substrate 120 to bond the two together (see reference). Figure 2 The first display substrate 110 and the second display substrate 120 may be rigid, but are not limited thereto, and the first display substrate 110 and the second display substrate 120 may also be formed as flexible.

[0062] The size of the first display substrate 110 can be larger than the size of the second display substrate 120. Therefore, one side of the first display substrate 110 may be exposed without being covered by the second display substrate 120. A flexible film 142 can be attached to the side of the first display substrate 110 not covered by the second display substrate 120. Each flexible film 142 can be a chip-on-film (COP) or a tape carrier package. The flexible film 142 can be attached to the first display substrate 110 using anisotropic conductive film, thereby allowing the source drive circuit 141 to be connected to a data line.

[0063] Each of the flexible films 142 is bendable. Specifically, the flexible film 142 can be bent toward the lower surface of the first display substrate 110, and in this case, the first circuit board 150, the cable 160 and the second circuit board 170 can be arranged on the lower surface of the first display substrate 110.

[0064] Although Figure 1 The example shown illustrates a case where 16 flexible films 142 are attached to the first display substrate 110 of the display panel 100, but the number of flexible films 142 in this invention is not limited to this.

[0065] A source drive circuit 141 can be mounted on one surface of each of the flexible films 142. The source drive circuit 141 can be formed as an integrated circuit (IC). The source drive circuit 141 can convert digital video data into analog data voltage according to the source control signal of the timing control circuit 180, and provide the analog data voltage to the data lines of the display panel 100 through the flexible film 142.

[0066] Each of the flexible films 142 can be attached to one surface of the first display substrate 110 of the display panel 100 on one side, and the other side of each of the flexible films 142 can be attached to one surface of the first circuit board 150. A plurality of flexible films 142 ( Figure 1 (The four flexible films in the middle can be attached to a first circuit board 150.)

[0067] The first circuit board 150 can be connected to the second circuit board 170 via multiple cables 160. Figure 1 The example shown illustrates a case where eight cables 160 connect the first circuit board 150 and the second circuit board 170, but the number of cables 160 is not limited to this.

[0068] The first circuit board 150 may include a plurality of first connectors 200 for connection to the cable 160. The cable 160 may be a flexible flat cable (FFC), but is not limited thereto. The first circuit board 150 may be a source circuit board. The first circuit board 150 may be a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) or a printed circuit board (PCB).

[0069] The second circuit board 170 can be connected to the first circuit board 150 via cable 160. Multiple first circuit boards 150 ( Figure 1 The four first circuit boards 160 can be connected to a second circuit board 170. The second circuit board 170 may include a plurality of second connectors 300 for connection with the cable 160. The number of second connectors 300 may be the same as the number of first connectors 200, but is not limited thereto.

[0070] The second circuit board 170 can be formed of a flexible printed circuit board or a printed circuit board. The second circuit board 170 can be a control circuit board for controlling the drive of the display panel 100 or an inspection circuit board for inspecting the drive of the display panel 100. Although a control circuit board is used as the second circuit board 170 in the completed display device 1, an inspection circuit board can also be used for the second circuit board 170 and connected to it during the manufacturing process. Specifically, during the manufacturing process of the display device 1, either the inspection circuit board or the control circuit board can be attached to the position of the second circuit board 170, and it can be replaced with the other. When replacing the circuit board, a process of releasing and securing the second connector 300 and the cable 160 is required. The process of releasing and securing the connectors 200, 300 and the cable 160 can be performed using an apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to an embodiment, which will be described later.

[0071] When the second circuit board 170 is a control circuit board, the timing control circuit 180 can be mounted on one surface of the second circuit board 170. The timing control circuit 180 can be formed as an integrated circuit. The timing control circuit 180 receives digital video data and timing signals from the system-on-a-chip (SoC) and generates source control signals for controlling the timing of the source drive circuit 141 based on the timing signals. The SoC can be a processor of a smart TV, a central processing unit (CPU) of a computer or laptop computer, a graphics card, or an application processor of a smartphone or tablet PC.

[0072] Figure 2This is a cross-sectional view of some pixels of a display device according to one embodiment.

[0073] Reference Figure 2 The first display substrate 110 may include: a first substrate 111; pixel electrodes PXE arranged for each pixel PX of the first substrate 111; a pixel defining film PDL arranged along the boundary of the pixel PX of the first substrate 111; an emissive layer EML located in an opening exposed by the pixel defining film PDL and arranged on the pixel electrodes PXE; a common electrode CME arranged on the emissive layer EML and the pixel defining film PDL and arranged across multiple pixel PX; and an encapsulation structure ECL arranged on the common electrode CME.

[0074] The pixel defining film (PDL) may overlap with the edge portion of the pixel electrode (PXE). The emissive layer (EML) includes an organic light-emitting material. The organic light-emitting material of the EML can emit light of the same color independently of the color pixel (PX). For example, the EML can emit blue light in a first color pixel (PX) that emits red light, a second color pixel (PX) that emits green light, and a third color pixel (PX) that emits blue light. However, the embodiments are not limited to this. The pixel defining film (PDL) may include an opening that exposes the pixel electrode (PXE).

[0075] The encapsulation structure ECL may include at least one thin-film encapsulation layer. For example, the thin-film encapsulation layer may include a first inorganic film 117, an organic film 118, and a second inorganic film 119.

[0076] The second display substrate 120 may include a second substrate 121, a light-shielding member BML disposed on a surface of the second substrate 121 facing the first substrate 111, a color filter layer CFL disposed on a surface of the second substrate 121 in an opening defined by the light-shielding member BML, a first cover layer 122 disposed on the color filter layer CFL, a partition wall PTL disposed on the first cover layer 122 and overlapping the light-shielding member BML, a wavelength conversion layer WCL and a light-transmitting layer TPL disposed in the space surrounded by the partition wall PTL, and a second cover layer 123 disposed on the wavelength conversion layer WCL, the light-transmitting layer TPL and the partition wall PTL.

[0077] The light-shielding member BML may overlap with the pixel-defining film PDL and be located within the light-shielding region BA, and includes an opening that exposes a surface of the second substrate 121 that overlaps with the light-transmitting region TA. The light-transmitting region TA and the light-shielding region BA can be distinguished by the light-shielding member BML and the opening of the light-shielding member BML.

[0078] The color filter layer CFL may include a first color filter layer CFL1 disposed on a first color pixel PX, a second color filter layer CFL2 disposed on a second color pixel PX, and a third color filter layer CFL3 disposed on a third color pixel PX. For example, the first color filter layer CFL1 may be a red color filter layer, the second color filter layer CFL2 may be a green color filter layer, and the third color filter layer CFL3 may be a blue color filter layer.

[0079] The wavelength conversion layer WCL may include a first wavelength conversion pattern WCL1 disposed on a first color pixel PX and a second wavelength conversion pattern WCL2 disposed on a second color pixel PX. A light-transmitting layer TPL may be disposed on a third color pixel PX.

[0080] The first wavelength conversion pattern WCL1 may include a first base resin BRS1 and a first wavelength conversion material WCP1 and a scatterer SCP disposed within the first base resin BRS1. The second wavelength conversion pattern WCL2 may include a second base resin BRS2 and a second wavelength conversion material WCP2 and a scatterer SCP disposed within the second base resin BRS2. The light-transmitting layer TPL may include a third base resin BRS3 and a scatterer SCP disposed within the third base resin BRS3.

[0081] The first wavelength conversion material WCP1 can convert the third color to the first color, and the second wavelength conversion material WCP2 can convert the third color to the second color. The first wavelength conversion material WCP1 and the second wavelength conversion material WCP2 can be quantum dots, quantum rods, phosphors, etc.

[0082] The Transmissive Layer (TPL) arranged in the third-color pixel (PX) transmits third-color light incident from the Emissive Layer (EML) while maintaining the wavelength of the third-color light. The scattering component (SCP) of the TPL can regulate the emission path of the light emitted through the TPL. The TPL may not include wavelength conversion material.

[0083] A filler layer 130 can be disposed between the first display substrate 110 and the second display substrate 120. The filler layer 130 can fill the space between the first display substrate 110 and the second display substrate 120, and at the same time bond the first display substrate 110 and the second display substrate 120 together. The filler layer 130 can be disposed between the encapsulation structure ECL of the first display substrate 110 and the second cover layer 123 of the second display substrate 120.

[0084] The structure of connectors 200, 300 and cable 160 will be described in more detail below.

[0085] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A magnified view of region A. Figure 4 It is along Figure 3 Cross-sectional views of IVa-IVa' and IVb-IVb'. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram showing the situation where the cable is disconnected from the first connector.

[0086] Reference Figures 3 to 5 As described above, the first circuit board 150 and the second circuit board 170 can be connected by fastening the cable 160 to the connectors 200 and 300. Specifically, one end of the cable 160 is fastened to the first connector 200, and the other end of the cable 160 is fastened to the second connector 300, thereby connecting the first circuit board 150 and the second circuit board 170.

[0087] The first connector 200 may be disposed on the other side of the second direction DR2 of the first circuit board 150. The other side of the second direction DR2 of the first connector 200 may be disposed on one side of the second direction DR2 of the first circuit board 150 relative to the other side of the second direction DR2 of the first circuit board 150, but is not limited thereto, and the other side of the second direction DR2 of the first connector 200 and the other side of the second direction DR2 of the first circuit board 150 may also be aligned.

[0088] Similarly, the second connector 300 can be disposed on the second circuit board 170. The second connector 300 can be disposed on one end of the second direction DR2 of the second circuit board 170. The one end of the second direction DR2 of the second connector 300 can be disposed on the other side of the second direction DR2 relative to the one end of the second direction DR2 of the second circuit board 170, but is not limited thereto, and the one end of the second direction DR2 of the second connector 300 and the one end of the second direction DR2 of the second circuit board 170 can also be aligned with each other.

[0089] The first connector 200 may include a first base portion 210, a first fixing portion 220 coupled to the first base portion 210, and a first connector shaft 230 that couples the first base portion 210 and the first fixing portion 220 together. A cable 160 coupled to the first connector 200 may be arranged between the first base portion 210 and the first fixing portion 220.

[0090] The first base portion 210 may include a first bottom surface portion 211 forming the bottom surface of the first connector 200 and a first sidewall portion 212 bending upward from one end of the first bottom surface portion 211. The first base portion 210 provides space for fastening the cable 160. The first base portion 210 may contact the portion of the cable 160 coupled to the first connector 200.

[0091] The first fixing part 220 can fix the cable 160 on the first base part 210. Specifically, a portion of the lower surface of the first fixing part 220 can contact the upper surface of the cable 160 arranged on the first bottom surface part 211 to fix the cable 160.

[0092] The first fixing part 220 may include a first fixing pressure part 221 and a first fixing protrusion 222 protruding from the first fixing pressure part 221 toward the other side of the second direction DR2.

[0093] The first fixing pressure part 221 pressurizes and secures the cable 160 fastened to the first connector 200. The interior of the first fixing pressure part 221 may house the first connector shaft 230, which will be described later. The width of the first fixing pressure part 221 may increase towards the other side of the second direction DR2, but is not limited thereto. The first fixing pressure part 221 may contact one end portion of the cable 160.

[0094] The first fixing protrusion 222 can directly receive external force, thereby performing the process of opening and closing the first fixing part 220. The thickness of the first fixing protrusion 222 can be less than the thickness of the first fixing pressure part 221. A stepped portion can be formed in the region where the first fixing pressure part 221 and the first fixing protrusion 222 meet. When the cable 160 is fastened to the first connector 200, the first fixing protrusion 222 can be arranged to be spaced apart from the cable 160. Thus, a space can be formed between the cable 160 and the first connector 200. For example, the first fixing protrusion 222 can have a uniform thickness depending on the region, but is not limited thereto.

[0095] The first connector shaft 230 can provide a rotation axis for rotating the first fixing part 220. The first connector shaft 230 can have a shape extending along a first direction DR1. That is, the first fixing part 220 can rotate with respect to an axis extending along the first direction DR1. One side and the other side of the first connector shaft 230 in the first direction DR1 can be respectively coupled to the first sidewall part 212.

[0096] In the first connector 200 to which the cable 160 is attached, when an external force is applied in the direction of opening the first fixing part 220, the first fixing part 220 can rotate in the opening direction according to the first connector shaft 230. When the first fixing part 220 is opened, the bonding force between the cable 160 and the first connector 200 is removed, thereby allowing the cable 160 to be easily separated from the first connector 200. Conversely, when the cable 160 is fastened to the first connector 200, the cable 160 can be aligned with the first base part 210, and then the first fixing part 220 can be rotated in the fastening direction.

[0097] The second connector 300 may include a second base portion 310, a second fixing portion 320, and a second connector shaft 330. The second base portion 310, the second fixing portion 320, and the second connector shaft 330 have substantially the same structure as the first base portion 210, the first fixing portion 220, and the first connector shaft 230, and operate substantially the same, therefore, their repeated description will be omitted.

[0098] In one embodiment, the cable 160 may include a wire portion 161 and protective portions 162, 163 attached to a surface of one end and the other end of the wire portion 161.

[0099] The wire portion 161 can be a flexible flat cable (FFC) that transmits signals along the extension direction of the cable 160. One end of the wire portion 161 can be disposed on the first base portion 210 of the first connector 200, and the other end can be disposed on the second base portion 310 of the second connector 300. The area of ​​the wire portion 161 not disposed on the base portions 210, 310 can be recessed and bent toward the other side of the third direction DR3, but is not limited thereto.

[0100] Protective portions 162 and 163 can protect one surface of one end and the other end of the wire portion 161. Protective portions 162 and 163 can overlap with one end and the other end of the wire portion 161. Protective portions 162 and 163 can be partially attached to the wire portion 161. For example, protective portions 162 and 163 can be attached to areas of the wire portion 161 disposed on base portions 210 and 310, but not to areas not disposed on base portions 210 and 310. Although not shown, adhesive (not shown) can be disposed in the bonding area between the protective portions 162 and 163 and the wire portion 161.

[0101] The protective parts 162 and 163 can be formed of a rigid material, but are not limited to this, and can also be formed of a flexible material. When operating the cable 160, the protective parts 162 and 163 can directly contact the hand or device. When operating the cable 160, operation through the protective parts 162 and 163 can minimize damage to the wire portion 161. For example, when connecting the cable 160 to the first connector 200 or the second connector 300, the connection can be achieved by using a connecting device or the like to adhere to or hold the protective parts 162 and 163.

[0102] In the following text, an apparatus for manufacturing the display device 1 (hereinafter referred to as "the apparatus for manufacturing the display device") will be described. As described above, the apparatus for manufacturing the display device, which will be described later, can be used to fasten the cable 160 to the connectors 200 and 300 and to disconnect the cable 160 from the connectors 200 and 300.

[0103] Figure 6 This is a perspective view of an apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to one embodiment. Figure 7 This is a front view of an apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to one embodiment. Figure 8 yes Figure 7 A variation of the above. Figure 9 This is a side view of an apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to one embodiment. Figure 10 This is a rear view of an apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to one embodiment.

[0104] Reference Figures 6 to 10 According to one embodiment, the apparatus for manufacturing a display device may include: a clamping member 400; a multi-joint robot 500 attached to the upper part of the clamping member 400; and a camera module 600 disposed above the clamping member 400 and confirming the movement of the clamping member 400.

[0105] According to one embodiment, the clamping member 400 may include: a housing 410; a main body 420 disposed inside the housing 410; a cylinder 430 extending through the housing 410 along a third direction DR3 and coupled to one side of the main body 420 along the third direction DR3; a plunger 440 coupled to one side and the other side of the main body 420 along a first direction DR1; a roller 450 coupled to the other end of the plunger 440 along the third direction DR3; and an adsorption part 460 disposed on a surface of the housing 410.

[0106] The housing 410 can function such that, by using the equipment for manufacturing a display device according to one embodiment, when the fixing portions 220, 320 of the connectors 200, 300 are opened, pressure is applied to the base portions 210, 310 towards the other side of DR3. The adsorption portion 460 can be attached to the housing 410. The housing 410 can be mounted so as not to follow the movement of the cylinder 430, which will be described later.

[0107] The housing 410 may include: a first housing sidewall 411; a housing plate portion 414, which bends from one end of the first housing sidewall 411 in the third direction DR3 toward the other side in the second direction DR2; and a second housing sidewall 413, which bends from the other end of the housing plate portion 414 in the second direction DR2 toward the other side in the third direction DR3.

[0108] The first housing sidewall 411 can be formed by bending from one end of the housing plate portion 414 in the second direction DR2 to the other side in the third direction DR3. The first housing sidewall 411 can have a shape extending along the third direction DR3. Multiple first housing sidewalls 411 can be provided. For example, two first housing sidewalls 411 can be provided and can be arranged spaced apart from each other in the first direction DR1. The first housing sidewall 411 can be formed by bending from one side and the other side of the first direction DR1 at one end of the housing plate portion 414 in the second direction DR2.

[0109] The first housing sidewall 411 may include a housing protrusion 412 that protrudes from the other end of the third direction DR3 toward the second direction DR2. The housing protrusion 412 may be the portion that contacts the base portion 210, 310 when the fixing portions 220, 320 of the connectors 200, 300 are opened. Therefore, when the fixing portions 220, 320 are opened, the housing protrusion 412 may be located in the space between the base portion 210, 310 of the connectors 200, 300 and the fixing portions 220, 320, or in the space between the cable 160 and the fixing portions 220, 320.

[0110] The shell plate portion 414 may be a plate that is bent from the third end of the first shell sidewall 411 toward DR3 and from the third end of the second shell sidewall 413 toward DR3. The shell plate portion 414 may be penetrated by the cylinder 430. The main body portion 420 may be arranged on the other side of the shell plate portion 414 toward DR3.

[0111] The second housing sidewall 413 may be a flat plate bent from the other end of the second direction DR2 of the housing plate portion 414 toward the other side of the third direction DR3. The adsorption portion 460 may be arranged on the other side surface of the second housing sidewall 413 in the second direction DR2. The length of the second housing sidewall 413 in the third direction DR3 may be less than the length of the first housing sidewall 411 in the third direction DR3, but is not limited thereto.

[0112] The inner surface of the first housing sidewall 411, the bottom surface of the housing plate portion 414, and the inner surface of the second housing sidewall 413 can define the space in which the main body portion 420, to be described later, moves up and down via the cylinder 430.

[0113] The main body 420 may include a movable part 421 and a main body protrusion 422, the main body protrusion 422 protruding from the other end of the movable part 421 in the third direction DR3 toward one side in the second direction DR2.

[0114] The movable part 421 corresponds to most of the main body 420 and can move up and down along the third direction DR3 via the cylinder 430 attached to the upper part of the movable part 421. One side surface of the movable part 421 in the second direction DR2 can be aligned with one side surface of the first housing sidewall 411 in the second direction DR2 and can be located on the same plane. One side and the other side of the movable part 421 in the first direction DR1 can be respectively provided with plungers 440. The movable part 421 and each plunger 440 are connected to each other, and each plunger 440 can also move together according to the movement of the movable part 421. For example, the movable part 421 and each plunger 440 can be respectively formed with bolt parts (not shown) and nut parts (not shown) and are connected by a male-female coupling to fasten each other, but it is not limited to this, and can also be connected by other bolts (not shown) and nuts (not shown).

[0115] The main body protrusion 422 may be the portion that contacts the fixing portions 220 and 320 when the fixing portions 220 and 320 of the connectors 200 and 300 are opened. When the fixing portions 220 and 320 are opened, after the main body protrusion 422 is located in the space between the base portions 210 and 310 and the fixing portions 220 and 320, the fixing portions 220 and 320 can be opened by lifting the main body portion 420 according to the cylinder 430.

[0116] Cylinder 430 can be attached to and arranged on the upper part of the main body 420. Cylinder 430 may include cylinder barrel 431 and cylinder shaft 432 that moves along a third direction DR3 inside cylinder barrel 431. For example, cylinder 430 may be a hydraulic cylinder. Cylinder 430 may extend through the housing plate portion 414. Cylinder 430 can move the main body 420 along the extending direction of cylinder 430. For example, cylinder 430 can move the main body 420 along a third direction DR3. A multi-joint robot 500 for adjusting the position and orientation of cylinder 430 can be attached to the upper part of cylinder 430. The multi-joint robot 500 will be described in detail later.

[0117] The cylinder barrel 431 may have a shape extending along a third direction DR3. The cylinder barrel 431 provides space for the cylinder shaft 432 disposed therein to move. The cylinder barrel 431 may extend through the housing 410. One end of the cylinder barrel 431 along the third direction DR3 may be coupled to the articulated robot 500.

[0118] The cylinder shaft 432 can reciprocate along a third direction DR3 within the cylinder barrel 431. One end of the cylinder shaft 432 along the third direction DR3 can be located within the cylinder barrel 431. The other end of the cylinder shaft 432 along the third direction DR3 can be coupled to the main body 420. Therefore, the cylinder shaft 432 and the main body 420 can move together. Furthermore, the main body 420 is coupled to plungers 440 arranged on both sides of the first direction DR1, so that the cylinder shaft 432 can also move together with the plungers 440. Additionally, the plungers 440 are coupled to rollers 450 arranged on the other side of the third direction DR3, so that the cylinder shaft 432 can also move together with the rollers 450. For example, as... Figure 8 As shown, the cylinder shaft 432 can move a first distance d1 to the side of DR3. Therefore, the main body 420 can also move a first distance d1 to the side of DR3, the plunger 440 can also move a first distance d1 to the side of DR3, and the roller 450 can also move a first distance d1 to the side of DR3.

[0119] A plunger 440 can be coupled to and arranged on one side and the other side of the main body 420 in the first direction DR1. The plunger 440 is coupled to the roller 450, thereby enabling adjustment of the gap between the roller 450 and the main body 420. The plunger 440 may include: a plunger coupling portion 441, which is coupled to the main body 420; a plunger shaft 442, which is coupled to the roller 450; and a plunger cylinder 443, which provides space for movement of the plunger shaft 442.

[0120] The plunger engagement portion 441 can be a structure that engages with the main body portion 420 within the plunger 440. The plunger engagement portion 441 can be configured to surround a portion of the plunger cylinder 443. One surface of the plunger engagement portion 441 can contact and engage with a surface of the main body portion 420. In one embodiment, as described above, the plunger engagement portion 441 and the moving portion 421 of the main body portion 420 can each be formed with a bolt portion (not shown) and a nut portion (not shown), and are engaged by a male-female coupling to fasten each other. The structure forming the bolt portion (not shown) and nut portion (not shown) is not limited. In another embodiment, they can also be engaged by additional bolts (not shown) and nuts (not shown).

[0121] The plunger shaft 442 can be coupled to the roller portion 450 to allow the roller portion 450 to move along the third direction DR3. The plunger shaft 442 may have a shape extending along the third direction DR3. The plunger shaft 442 can reciprocate within the internal space of the plunger cylinder 443. The plunger shaft 442 may include an elastic body. For example, the elastic body may be a spring. The spring of the plunger shaft 442 may be located inside the plunger cylinder 443. When an external force is applied to the plunger shaft 442 on one side of the third direction DR3, the spring included in the plunger shaft 442 is compressed and moves a second distance d2 on one side of the third direction DR3, thereby accumulating elastic energy. When the external force applied to the plunger shaft 442 is removed, the plunger shaft 442 returns to its original shape through the elastic energy of the compressed spring and moves another second distance d2 on the other side of the third direction DR3.

[0122] The plunger cylinder 443 provides space for the plunger shaft 442 to reciprocate along the third direction DR3. The plunger cylinder 443 may have a shape extending along the third direction DR3. As described above, the plunger cylinder 443 may be surrounded by the plunger engagement portion 441. The direction in which the plunger cylinder 443 extends may be the same as the direction in which the cylinder 430 extends, but is not limited thereto.

[0123] The roller portion 450 can be coupled to the other side of the third-direction DR3 of the plunger shaft 442. The roller portion 450 can be a structure that directly contacts the fixing portions 220 and 320 and applies pressure to one side of the fixing portions 220 and 320 when the clamping member 400 is used to close the fixing portions 220 and 320 of the connectors 200 and 300. The roller portion 450 may include a roller guide portion 451 and a roller 452 coupled to the roller guide portion 451.

[0124] Roller guide 451 can guide roller 452 within roller section 450. Roller guide 451 can be directly coupled to plunger shaft 442. Roller guide 451 can have an internally open cuboid shape. Roller guide 451 can have a closed curve shape in plan view, but is not limited thereto. For example, roller guide 451 can include edges arranged on one and the other side in the first direction DR1 and on one and the other side in the second direction DR2. The edge of roller guide 451 arranged on the other side in the second direction DR2 can be a shaft extending along the first direction DR1 and used for rotation of roller 452.

[0125] A roller 452 may be arranged on the roller guide portion 451. As described above, the roller 452 may be arranged with the other side edge of the roller guide portion 451 in the second direction DR2 as the axis of rotation. When the clamping member 400 closes the fixing portions 220 and 320 of the connectors 200 and 300, the roller 452 is in direct contact with the fixing portions 220 and 320 and partially rotates due to friction with the fixing portions 220 and 320.

[0126] The plane of one side surface of the third-direction DR3 including roller 452 and the plane of the other side surface of the third-direction DR3 including housing 410 can be spaced apart by a first width W1. The first width W1 spacing provides space for confirming the operation of roller 450 by camera module 600 (described later) in the process of fastening cable 160 for connectors 200 and 300.

[0127] The adsorption portion 460 can be arranged on the other side surface of the second housing sidewall 413 in the second direction DR2. The adsorption portion 460 can adsorb a surface of the protective portions 162, 163 during the process of fastening and releasing the cable 160 for connectors 200, 300. Thus, the cable 160 can be fixed to the adsorption portion 460. The adsorption portion 460 can be connected to a vacuum module 700 that provides negative pressure. The adsorption portion 460 and the vacuum module 700 can be connected via a vacuum tube 710. The end of the adsorption portion 460 can protrude to the other side of the second direction DR2 relative to the other edge of the roller portion 450. Multiple adsorption portions 460 can be provided. Multiple adsorption portions 460 can be arranged along the first direction DR1. Although in Figure 10 The diagram shows two adsorption portions 460 arranged on the other side surface of the second direction DR2 of the second housing sidewall 413, but the number of adsorption portions 460 is not limited to this.

[0128] The articulated robot 500 can be positioned on one side of the gripper 400 in the third direction DR3. The articulated robot 500 can engage with the gripper 400, and the position and orientation of the gripper 400 can be adjusted. The articulated robot 500 can also be engaged with one end of the cylinder 430 in the third direction DR3. The articulated robot 500 may include a robotic arm 510 and a mounting portion 520 disposed between the robotic arm 510 and the cylinder 430.

[0129] The robotic arm 510 may include multiple joints (not shown) and is capable of freely adjusting the position and orientation of the gripper 400. Specifically, the position and orientation of the gripper 400 can be adjusted by adjusting the position and orientation of the cylinder 430 via the robotic arm 510. For example, the robotic arm 510 can adjust the position of the gripper 400 in a first direction DR1, a second direction DR2, or a third direction DR3.

[0130] The mounting section 520 can connect the robotic arm 510 and the cylinder 430 together. The robotic arm 510 can be connected to the mounting section 520, and the mounting section 520 can be connected to the cylinder 430. The connection method between the cylinder 430, the mounting section 520, and the robotic arm 510 is not limited. Furthermore, the mounting section 520 may be omitted depending on the circumstances.

[0131] The camera module 600 can be arranged above the clamping member 400. As described above, the camera module 600 can confirm the movement of the clamping member 400. Specifically, the camera module 600 can confirm the movement of the roller 450 in the process of fastening the cable 160 for the connectors 200 and 300 by means of a first width W1 between a plane on one side surface of the third-direction DR3 including the roller 452 and a plane on the other side surface of the third-direction DR3 including the housing 410.

[0132] An apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to one embodiment can be used for processes of fastening and unfastening cables 160 for connectors 200 and 300. Using the apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to one embodiment, the fixing portions 220 and 320 of connectors 200 and 300 can be fastened and unfastened using a single device. A more detailed description of this will become clear from the following description of the process of fastening and unfastening the fixing portions 220 and 320 of connectors 200 and 300 using the apparatus for manufacturing a display device.

[0133] Figures 11 to 16 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the operation of an apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to one embodiment. Specifically, Figures 11 to 13 This is a diagram illustrating the process of fastening cable 160 to first connector 200 using equipment for manufacturing display devices. Figures 14 to 16 This is a diagram illustrating the process of disconnecting cable 160 from the first connector 200 using equipment used in manufacturing display devices. Figures 14 to 16 In order to illustrate the function of the plunger 440, a first circuit board 150 with a first connector 200 is shown arranged on a shelf LT.

[0134] Reference Figures 11 to 16 Although the process described below only shows the release and fastening process of the first fixing part 220 of the first connector 200, the release and fastening process of the second fixing part 320 of the second connector 300 can be the same as the release and fastening process of the first fixing part 220 of the first connector 200.

[0135] Reference Figures 11 to 13 To secure the cable 160 to the first connector 200 using the equipment for manufacturing a display device according to one embodiment, firstly, a multi-joint robot 500 can be used to position the clamping member 400 so that the adsorption part 460 faces the other side of the third-direction DR3. The cable 160 can be adsorbed by the adsorption part 460. The adsorption part 460 can adsorb a surface of the protective part 162 of the cable 160. The adsorption part 460 can receive negative pressure from the connected vacuum module 700 to adsorb the cable 160.

[0136] Then, the joint robot 500 can be used to move the gripper 400 so that the cable 160 is positioned on the first base 210 of the first connector 200. The alignment of the cable 160 can be confirmed by the camera module 600. The camera module 600 can confirm the alignment of the cable 160 through the spacing space of the gripper 400 having a first width W1. When the alignment of the cable 160 confirmed by the camera module 600 is good, the next process can be performed; when the alignment of the cable 160 is not good, the joint robot 500 can be used to realign the cable 160.

[0137] After aligning the cable 160, the cylinder 430 can be operated to close the first fixing portion 220, thereby securing the cable 160 to the first connector 200. Specifically, the cylinder 430 can be operated to move the cylinder shaft 432 to the other side of the second direction DR2. When the cylinder shaft 432 moves to the other side of the second direction DR2, the main body portion 420 coupled to the cylinder shaft 432 can also move to the other side of the second direction DR2, the plunger 440 coupled to one side and the other side of the main body portion 420 in the first direction DR1 can also move to the other side of the second direction DR2, and the roller portion 450 coupled to one side of the plunger 440 in the second direction DR2 can also move to the other side of the second direction DR2. The roller portion 450 can move to the other side of the second direction DR2, thereby applying force to the first fixing portion 220 on the other side of the second direction DR2. Therefore, the first fixing portion 220 can be closed, and the cable 160 can be secured to the first connector 200.

[0138] Reference Figures 14 to 16 In order to disconnect the cable 160 from the first connector 200 using the equipment for manufacturing a display device according to one embodiment, a multi-joint robot 500 can first be used to align the clamping member 400. Specifically, the clamping member 400 can be aligned such that the housing protrusion 412 and the body protrusion 422 are arranged facing the first connector 200 with the cable 160 tightly attached. The process of aligning the clamping member 400 as described above can include a process of moving and rotating the clamping member 400 using the multi-joint robot 500.

[0139] After aligning the clamping member 400 such that the housing protrusion 412 and the body protrusion 422 face the first connector 200 tightly attached to the cable 160, a multi-joint robot 500 can be used to move the housing protrusion 412 and the body protrusion 422 into the space between the first fixing portion 220 of the first connector 200 and the cable 160. The housing protrusion 412 and the body protrusion 422 may partially overlap with the first fixing portion 220.

[0140] When the housing protrusion 412 and the main body protrusion 422 move between the first fixing part 220 and the cable 160, the roller 450 is supported by the shelf LT, thereby compressing the plunger 440 engaged with the roller 450. That is, the plunger shaft 442 can be inserted into the plunger cylinder 443. With the plunger 440, the cable 160 can be easily unloaded even if the first circuit board 150, on which the first connector 200 is arranged, is not located at the end of the shelf LT.

[0141] After the housing protrusion 412 and the main body protrusion 422 move between the first fixing part 220 and the cable 160, the cylinder 430 is operated to move the main body 420 to the side facing DR3. Thus, the main body protrusion 422 included in the main body 420 can also move to the side facing DR3. With the movement of the main body protrusion 422, the first fixing part 220 is opened, and the first base part 210 can be supported by the housing protrusion 412. As the first fixing part 220 is opened, the first base part 210 may move along with the first fixing part 220, which is prevented by the support of the housing protrusion 412 described above.

[0142] In the following description, another embodiment of the apparatus for manufacturing a display device will be described. In the embodiments described below, descriptions of structures identical to those already described will be omitted or simplified, and the differences will be described primarily.

[0143] Figure 17 This is a side view of an apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to another embodiment.

[0144] Reference Figure 17 The apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to this embodiment may include a clamping member 400_1, which includes a gripping portion 470_1. In this embodiment, the gripping portion 470_1 may function the same as the adsorption portion 460 of the clamping member 400 included in the apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to an embodiment. That is, the gripping portion 470_1 may function as a protective portion 162 for gripping the cable 160. The gripping portion 470_1 may include a fixed gripping portion 471_1 and a movable gripping portion 472_1.

[0145] The fixed grip portion 471_1 can be arranged on the opposite surface of the second housing sidewall 413 in the second direction DR2. The fixed grip portion 471_1 can be flat. The movable grip portion 472_1 can be arranged opposite to the fixed grip portion 471_1. The movable grip portion 472_1 can move along the second direction DR2 to adjust the gap between one surface of the movable grip portion 472_1 and one surface of the fixed grip portion 471_1. Thus, it is possible to grip the cable 160 through the grip portion 470_1.

[0146] When the cable 160 is held by the gripping part 470_1, one surface of the fixed gripping part 471_1 can contact one surface of the protective part 162 of the cable 160. One surface of the movable gripping part 472_1 can contact the other surface of the protective part 162 of the cable 160.

[0147] The clamping member 400_1 included in the equipment for manufacturing a display device according to this embodiment holds the cable 160 by the gripping part 470_1, thus differing from the clamping member 400 included in the equipment for manufacturing a display device according to another embodiment, and the vacuum module 700 can be omitted.

[0148] The apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to this embodiment can be used for processes of fastening and unfastening the cable 160 for connectors 200 and 300. With the apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to this embodiment, fastening and unfastening of the fixing portions 220 and 320 of connectors 200 and 300 can be performed using a single device. Furthermore, by holding the cable 160 with the gripping portion 470_1, the cable 160 can be held stably.

[0149] Figure 18 This is a side view of an apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to yet another embodiment.

[0150] Reference Figure 18 The apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to this embodiment may include a clamping member 400_2, which includes a gripping portion 470_2. In this embodiment, the gripping portion 470_2 may function the same as the suction portion 460 of the clamping member 400 included in the apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to one embodiment. That is, the gripping portion 470_2 may function as a protective portion 162 for gripping the cable 160. The gripping portion 470_2 may include a first gripping portion 471_2 and a second gripping portion 472_2.

[0151] The first gripping part 471_2 can be arranged on the other side surface of the second housing sidewall 413 in the second direction DR2. The first gripping part 471_2 can be flat. The second gripping part 472_2 can be arranged opposite to the first gripping part 471_2. The second gripping part 472_2 can move along the second direction DR2 to adjust the gap between one surface of the second gripping part 472_2 and one surface of the first gripping part 471_2. Thus, it is possible to grip the cable 160 through the gripping part 470_2.

[0152] In this embodiment, the gripping portion 470_2 can use magnetic force to grip the protective portion 162 of the cable 160. For example, the first gripping portion 471_2 may include metal, the second gripping portion 472_2 may be an electromagnet, and the second gripping portion 472_2 may be connected to the power supply device 700_2. When power is supplied to the second gripping portion 472_2, an attractive force can be applied between the first gripping portion 471_2 and the second gripping portion 472_2.

[0153] When the cable 160 is held by the gripping part 470_2, one surface of the first gripping part 471_2 can contact one surface of the protective part 162 of the cable 160. One surface of the second gripping part 472_2 can contact the other surface of the protective part 162 of the cable 160.

[0154] The clamping member 400_2 included in the apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to this embodiment holds the cable 160 by using a magnetic gripping part 470_2, thus differing from the clamping member 400 included in the apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to another embodiment, and the vacuum module 700 can be omitted.

[0155] The apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to this embodiment can be used for processes of fastening and unfastening the cable 160 for connectors 200 and 300. With the apparatus for manufacturing a display device according to this embodiment, fastening and unfastening of the fixing portions 220 and 320 of connectors 200 and 300 can be performed using a single device.
