Such glass substrates are produced by cutting a larger glass substrate (also called a "mother glass substrate") into a specified size. The larger glass substrate is formed by a float process or an overflow process. When the glass substrate is processed and manufactured, it needs to be transported, so a glass substrate transporting device is used to transfer and transport it.
