Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of liquid crystal display bonding equipment, in particular to a COG and COF pre-pressing universal production equipment and a pre-pressing universal method. BACKGROUND

[0002] LCD (English full name: Liquid Crystal Display, Chinese name: liquid crystal display) is a display screen that uses liquid crystal to control light transmittance technology to realize color display, and has many advantages such as small size, thin thickness, light weight, etc. Therefore, it is very popular on the market. LCD needs to use IC chips during production. The combination of IC chips and LCD usually has two ways, one is to directly bond IC chips on LCD, and the other is to first package IC on FPC (English full name: Flexible Printed Circuit, Chinese name: flexible circuit board), and then bond FPC with LCD. The former combination is COG (chip on glass) bonding, and the latter combination is COF (chip on flex) bonding. COG bonding and COF bonding usually have three steps of ACF attachment, pre-pressing and main pressing, and the pre-pressing step is mainly to improve the connection accuracy of LCD and IC or LCD and FPC.

[0003] At present, the pre-pressing machines on the market are usually designed for a certain bonding method, such as COG pre-pressing machine which can only pre-press IC and LCD, and cannot pre-press FPC and LCD. COF pre-pressing machine can only pre-press FPC and LCD, and cannot pre-press IC and LCD. Therefore, when pre-pressing in these two different ways, two pre-pressing devices need to be purchased, which not only increases the production cost, but also occupies a large area.

[0004] The utility model patent number CN211061805U discloses a kind of semi-automatic COG pre-pressing machine, the upper surface of cabinet is provided with alignment fixture, the upper of alignment fixture is provided with pre-pressing mechanism, alignment fixture and pre-pressing mechanism are provided with chip feeding mechanism between, the both sides of chip feeding mechanism are provided with visual mechanism, control system is arranged in the inside of cabinet, chip feeding mechanism, alignment fixture, pre-pressing mechanism, visual mechanism are respectively connected to control system, pre-pressing mechanism and visual mechanism are fixed on the upper front end of cabinet, alignment fixture is fixed on the upper surface of cabinet, chip feeding mechanism is fixed on the both sides in the inside of cabinet. The pre-pressing machine is mainly used for the pre-pressing of IC chip and LCD, and cannot realize the pre-pressing function between FPC and LCD.

[0005] The patent application publication No. CN108375846A discloses a full-automatic pre-pressing machine for pressing COF and LCD, comprising: a pre-pressing device; and an LCD adsorption feeding device arranged opposite to the pre-pressing device, wherein the LCD adsorption feeding device comprises: a Y-direction translation mechanism; and at least one group of multi-size glass adsorption mechanisms in sliding connection with the Y-direction translation mechanism, which can selectively approach or move away from the pre-pressing device. The full-automatic pre-pressing machine is used for pre-pressing between FPC and LCD, and has certain design defects if used for pre-pressing between IC and LCD, and cannot meet the production requirements.

[0006] For the related technology in the above, there is a problem of incompatibility of the pre-pressing machine with multiple pre-pressing processes. SUMMARY
