[0040] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a joining device according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2a is Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pressing portion shown in FIG. 1. Figure 2b and Figure 2c is a perspective view of a pressing portion according to another embodiment.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 2, Figure 1 The joining device BTA can include a table STG, a support portion BS, a pressing portion PP, a heating portion HBP, and a cooling portion CP. The table STG can be a partial shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. When viewed from a planar surface, an upper surface of the table STG can be a rectangular shape having a long side extending in a first direction DR1 and a short side extending in a second direction DR2 intersecting the first direction DR1. However, the shape of the table STG is not limited thereto, but can have various shapes.

[0043] Hereinafter, a direction substantially perpendicularly intersecting a plane defined by the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2 is defined as a third direction DR3. In the present specification, "when viewed from a planar surface" can mean a state of being observed from the third direction DR3.

[0044] The upper surface of the table STG can be defined with a plurality of adsorption holes VFH. The adsorption holes VFH can be arranged in the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2.

[0045] Although not shown, the stage STG can be connected to a motor, so that the suction hole VFH can be switched to a vacuum state. As the suction hole VFH is switched to the vacuum state, the display panel DP to be described below can be fixed to the stage STG. Figure 8a

[0046] The heating part HBP can be disposed at an upper portion of the stage STG. Exemplarily, the heating part HBP is shown in a cuboid shape, but the shape of the heating part HBP is not limited thereto.

[0047] The heating part HBP can be a pulse heater. Although not shown, the inside of the heating part HBP can include a coil. Although not shown, when a current flows through the coil by an external power source, heat energy can be generated in the coil.

[0048] The outer surface of the heating part HBP can include aluminum nitride (AlN) having a relatively high heat transfer rate. The heat energy generated in the coil can be transferred to the pressurizing part PP through the outer surface of the heating part HBP including the aluminum nitride (AlN). The heating part HBP will be described in detail below.

[0049] The pressurizing part PP can be disposed below the heating part HBP. The pressurizing part PP can be directly disposed on the lower surface of the heating part HBP. The pressurizing part PP can be directly connected to the heating part HBP. In the present specification, "constituent A is directly disposed on constituent B" means that no additional layer is disposed between the constituent A and the constituent B. The pressurizing part PP can be disposed between the heating part HBP and the stage STG.

[0050] The pressurizing part PP can receive heat from the heating part HBP. Accordingly, the temperature of the pressurizing part PP can increase. The pressurizing part PP can transfer heat to the circuit board CB (refer to Figure 7 ) and the conductive adhesive member ACF (refer to Figure 7 ) to be described below. The pressurizing part PP can apply pressure to the conductive adhesive member ACF (refer to Figure 7 ).

[0051] The pressurizing part PP can include cemented carbides (WC) or silicon carbide (SiC). The thermal conductivity of the pressurizing part PP can be 100 W / mK to 120 W / mK. For example, the thermal conductivity of the pressurizing part PP can be 110 W / mK. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the pressurizing part PP can be 6 ppm / ℃ to 7 ppm / ℃. For example, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the pressurizing part PP can be 6.2 ppm / ℃. For example, the specific heat capacity of the pressurizing part PP can be 0.2 J / gK. Exemplarily, the hardness of the pressurizing part PP can be 68 HRC to 81.5 HRC. Exemplarily, the density of the pressurizing part PP can be 15 g / cm 2 .​

[0052] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2a The pressing portion PP can include a plate PT1 and a pressing tip PT2 arranged on a lower surface of the plate PT1. The plate PT1 can be arranged directly on a lower surface of the heating portion HBP. A first thickness TH1 defined by a length of the plate PT1 in the third direction DR3 can be constant.

[0053] The pressing tip PT2 can be arranged on the lower surface of the plate PT1. The pressing tip PT2 can be arranged adjacent to one of two sides of the plate PT1 opposite to each other in the first direction DR1. The one of the two sides of the plate PT1 opposite to each other in the first direction DR1 can be defined as a side adjacent to the stage STG. The pressing tip PT2 can extend in the third direction DR3 from the lower surface of the plate PT1. The pressing tip PT2 can be substantially integrally formed with the plate PT1.

[0054] The pressing tip PT2 can be parallel to a plane defined by the second direction DR2 and the third direction DR3 when viewed in the first direction DR1. The pressing tip PT2 can extend longer in the second direction DR2 than in the third direction DR3.

[0055] A length of the pressing tip PT2 in the second direction DR2 can be less than a length of the plate PT1 in the second direction DR2. A length of the pressing tip PT2 in the first direction DR1 can be less than a length of the plate PT1 in the first direction DR1.

[0056] A second thickness TH2 defined by a length of the pressing tip PT2 in the third direction DR3 can be the same as the first thickness TH1 defined by a length of the plate PT1 in the third direction DR3. Exemplarily, the first thickness TH1 and the second thickness TH2 can be 2 mm in size, respectively.

[0057] Referring to Figure 2b , a thickness of the plate PT1a can be variable. The thickness of the plate PT1a can be smaller as going from one side of the plate PT1a toward the other side of the plate PT1a. The thickness of the one side of the plate PT1a can be greater than the thickness of the other side of the plate PT1a. Hereinafter, a first thickness TH1a can be defined as the thickness of the one side of the plate PT1a. A third thickness TH3 can be defined as the thickness of the other side of the plate PT1a.

[0058] As the thickness of the first thickness TH1a increases, a rigidity of the one side of the plate PT1a can increase. Accordingly, the pressing portion PPa can not be deformed when a pressure is applied to the data driving portion DC (Referring to Figure 8b ).

[0059] The second thickness TH2a of the pressurizing tip PT2a can be less than the first thickness TH1a and the third thickness TH3 of the plate PT1a. Exemplarily, the first thickness TH1a can be 3mm, the second thickness TH2a can be 1mm, and the third thickness TH3 can be 2mm.

[0060] Referring to Figure 2c , the thickness of the plate PT1b can be constant. The first thickness TH1b of the plate PT1b can be greater than the second thickness TH2 of the pressurizing tip PT2. Exemplarily, the first thickness TH1b can be 5mm, and the second thickness TH2 can be 2mm.

[0061] As the thickness of the first thickness TH1b is increased compared to Figure 2a the first thickness TH1 of the plate PT1, the rigidity of the plate PT1b can be increased. Accordingly, the pressurizing portion PPb can not be deformed when pressure is applied to the data driving portion DC (refer to Figure 8b ).

[0062] Referring to Figure 1 , the cooling portion CP can be disposed on the stage STG. The cooling portion CP can cool heat generated from the heating portion HBP to prevent transmission to the upper portion.

[0063] The cooling portion CP can include a first cooling portion CP1, a second cooling portion CP2, and a third cooling portion CP3, which are sequentially stacked from the lower portion to the upper portion. The first cooling portion CP1 can be disposed on the upper surface of the heating portion HBP. Exemplarily, the first cooling portion CP1 can include a ceramic heat insulation material.

[0064] The second cooling portion CP2 can be disposed on the first cooling portion CP1. Although not shown, the second cooling portion CP2 can be connected to an external turbine to cool heat by air.

[0065] The third cooling portion CP3 can be disposed on the second cooling portion CP2. The lower portion of the third cooling portion CP3 can be defined with a plurality of grooves GR. The grooves GR can be arranged in the third direction DR3. Accordingly, the surface area outside the third cooling portion CP3 is increased, so that the amount of heat transmission caused by convection can be increased, and heat can be rapidly cooled.

[0066] The support portion BS can be disposed adjacent to one of the two sides of the stage STG opposite to each other in the first direction DR1. The one of the two sides of the stage STG opposite to each other in the first direction DR1 can be defined as the side adjacent to the pressurizing portion PP.

[0067] When the pressurizing portion PP applies pressure to the data driving portion DC (refer to Figure 8b ) and the display panel DP (refer to Figure 8b) when pressure is applied, the support portion BS may play a role in supporting the data driving portion DC and the lower portion of the display panel DP.

[0068] Although not shown, the bonding apparatus BTA may further include a driving unit. The driving unit may be arranged on the cooling unit CP to move the cooling unit CP, the heating unit HBP, and the pressurizing unit PP in the third direction DR3. The cooling unit CP prevents the driving unit from receiving heat from the heating unit HBP.

[0133] Figure 8a to 8c Is used to describe the use of Figure 1 The bonding device shown is used to produce Figure 3 A diagram of a display apparatus and method.

[0134] For example, Figure 8a to 8c 1 and 2 are diagrams showing the bonding apparatus BTA viewed from the second direction DR2.

[0135] right Figure 8a to 8c Among the illustrated components, descriptions of components that are the same as those described above with reference to the drawings will be omitted or simplified.

[0136] Reference Figure 8a , display device DD (refer to Figure 3 The manufacturing method of the display panel DP may include the step of disposing the display module DM and the data driving part DC on the stage STG. The display module DM and the anti-reflection layer POL may be disposed on the stage STG. The first non-bending area NBA1 and the bending area BA of the display panel DP may overlap the stage STG. The input sensor ISU and the anti-reflection layer POL may be disposed so as to overlap the stage STG. The second non-bending area NBA2 of the display panel DP may be disposed on the support BS. The data driving part DC and the second conductive adhesive member AF-D disposed on the display panel DP may overlap the support BS.

[0137] Display device DD (refer to Figure 3 The manufacturing method of the present invention may include operating the heating unit HBP by connecting an external power source to the heating unit HBP. When current is applied to the heating unit HBP from the external power source, heat energy is generated, thereby increasing the temperature of the heating unit HBP. The temperature of the heating unit HBP may be 350°C to 400°C. For example, the temperature of the heating unit HBP may be 360°C.

[0138] If the temperature of the heating part HBP increases, the press part PP disposed on the lower surface of the heating part HBP may receive heat from the heating part HBP. By the heat, the temperature of the press part PP may increase.

[0139] Reference Figure 8b , manufacturing display device DD (refer toFigure 3 ) can include a step of moving the heating portion HBP and the pressing portion PP. The heating portion HBP and the pressing portion PP can move in the third direction DR3 toward the display panel DP and the data driving portion DC.

[0140] The pressing portion PP can be disposed on the data driving portion DC. The pressing portion PP can pressurize the data driving portion DC. The pressing portion PP can transfer heat to the data driving portion DC. The temperature of the data driving portion DC receiving the heat can increase.

[0141] The second conductive adhesive member AF-D disposed under the data driving portion DC can receive heat from the data driving portion DC. The temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D receiving the heat can increase. Exemplarily, the temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D can be 180℃.

[0142] Referring to Figure 8c , if the display panel DP and the data driving portion DC are engaged with each other, the pressing portion PP and the heating portion HBP can move in the third direction DR3 toward the upper portion.

[0143] Figure 9 is an engaging apparatus according to a comparative example.

[0144] For convenience of description, a stage STG (refer to Figure 1 ) and a support portion BS (refer to Figure 1 ) of the engaging apparatus BTA' according to the comparative example are omitted.

[0145] Referring to Figure 9 , the engaging apparatus BTA' according to the comparative example can include a pressing portion PP', an engaging head HH disposed on the pressing portion PP', and a heating bar HB. The pressing portion PP' can apply heat and pressure to the data driving portion DC of the display panel DP. Figure 8b

[0146] An opening portion OP can be defined to the engaging head HH. The opening portion OP can be defined to extend in the second direction DR2 from one side of the engaging head HH to another side opposite to the one side from each other. The opening portion OP can be defined to be adjacent to the upper portion of the engaging head HH. Exemplarily, the opening portion OP can have a circular shape when viewed in the second direction DR2.

[0147] The heating bar HB can be disposed within the opening portion OP. The heating bar HB can include one or more heat lines. The heating bar HB can generate heat. Exemplarily, the temperature of the heating bar HB can be 480℃.

[0148] ​The heat generated from the heating rod HB can be transferred to the bonding head HH and through the bonding head HH to the pressurizing portion PP'. The temperature of the bonding head HH and the pressurizing portion PP' receiving the heat can increase.

[0149] Referring to Figure 8b and Figure 9 , Figure 9 The pressurizing portion PP' can not be in direct contact with the heating rod HB. The pressurizing portion PP' can receive heat from the bonding head HH through heat conduction. Therefore, in order to increase the contact area with the bonding head HH, the volume of the pressurizing portion PP' can be increased.

[0150] In the embodiment of the present application, as the pressurizing portion PP is directly disposed on the lower surface of the heating portion HBP as a heat source, the amount of heat transfer caused by heat conduction can be increased. Therefore, compared to the case where the pressurizing portion PP is not in direct contact with the heating portion HBP, the pressurizing portion PP can receive relatively more heat. Therefore, the volume of the pressurizing portion PP can be reduced.

[0151] Although not shown, the pressurizing portion PP' can apply heat and pressure to the data driving portion DC shown in FIG. 1. The second conductive adhesive member AF-D (refer to FIG. 2) disposed below the data driving portion DC (refer to FIG. 1) can receive heat from the data driving portion DC. The temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D receiving the heat can increase. The temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D can exemplarily be 180°C. Figure 8b Figure 8b Figure 8b

[0152] The temperature of the heating rod HB can be greater than the temperature of the heating portion HBP. The temperature of the heating rod HB can be 480°C. The temperature of the heating portion HBP can be 350°C to 400°C. Since the heating portion HBP and the pressurizing portion PP are in direct contact with each other, even if the temperature of the heating portion HBP is lower than the temperature of the heating rod HB, the temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D can be increased to 180°C.

[0153] Therefore, the amount of electricity required to increase the temperature of the heating portion HBP can be less than the amount of electricity required to increase the temperature of the heating rod HB. Therefore, the cost of the process of bonding the display panel DP and the data driving portion DC can be reduced.

[0154] Figure 10 is a graph for describing the temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D changing over time.

[0155] Referring to Figure 8b , Figure 9 and Figure 10 ​​​In order to join the display panel DP and the data driving portion DC by the second conductive adhesive member AF-D, the second conductive adhesive member AF-D can be melted at 180°C.

[0156] In Figure 10 the graph, the x-axis can be defined as time, and the y-axis can be defined as the temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D. The first curve G1 is a curve showing the temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D changing with time when the heating portion HBP of Figure 8b is used. The second curve G2 is a curve showing the temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D changing with time when the heating rod HB of Figure 9 is used.

[0157] In the first curve G1, a first time t1 can be taken for the second conductive adhesive member AF-D to reach 180°C from 35°C. Exemplarily, the first time t1 can be 2 seconds. In the second curve G2, a second time t2 can be taken for the second conductive adhesive member AF-D to reach 180°C from 45°C. The second time t2 can be greater than the first time t1. Therefore, the time taken to raise the temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D can be reduced. Therefore, the time of the process of joining the display panel DP and the data driving portion DC can be shortened.

[0158] Figure 11 is a graph for describing the temperature of the second conductive adhesive member when repeatedly operating the heating portion according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0159] Referring to Figure 8a , Figure 8b and Figure 11 , Figure 11 the x-axis can be defined as time, and the y-axis can be defined as the temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D. When the heating portion HBP is repeatedly operated or not operated, the time taken for the temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D to rise from 35°C to 180°C can be unchanged. Exemplarily, the time taken for the temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D to rise from 35°C to 180°C can be 2 seconds.

[0160] As shown in Figure 8a , during the process of arranging the display panel DP, the data driving portion DC and the second conductive adhesive member AF-D on the stage STG, the heating portion HBP can not be operated. After the display panel DP, the data driving portion DC and the second conductive adhesive member AF-D are arranged on the stage STG and the support portion BS, the heating portion HBP is operated, and the temperature of the second conductive adhesive member AF-D can be maintained at 180°C. Therefore, the operation time of the heating portion HBP can be reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the heating portion HBP.

[0161] Figure 12 This is a graph describing the temperature at a location a specified distance from the pressurizing portion.

[0162] Reference Figure 8b and Figure 9 , Figure 8b The first distance D shown may be defined as a distance from the pressing portion PP to the anti-reflection layer POL in the first direction DR1 .

[0163] The heating portion HBP and the heating rod HB can heat the anti-reflection layer POL and the display element layer DP-OLED of the display panel DP (refer to FIG. Figure 5 ) transfers heat. Therefore, the temperature of the anti-reflection layer POL and the display element layer DP-OLED (reference Figure 5 )'s temperature can be increased.

[0164] When the temperature of the anti-reflection layer POL reaches 130 degrees or above, the anti-reflection layer POL may be damaged due to heat. Figure 5 ) reaches 140 degrees or above, the display element layer DP-OLED (reference Figure 5 ) may be damaged by heat.

[0165] Reference Figure 8b 、 Figure 9 and Figure 12 , Figure 12 The x-axis of the graph may be defined as the size of the first distance D, and the y-axis may be defined as the temperature of the anti-reflection layer POL spaced apart from the pressurizing part PP and the pressurizing part PP' by the first distance D. The third curve G3 is a graph showing the use of Figure 8b The fourth curve G4 is a graph showing the temperature of the anti-reflection layer POL when the heating portion HBP is spaced apart from the pressurizing portion PP by a first distance D.

[0167]

Table 1

[0168] Table 1 shows the results of the temperature of the anti-reflection layer POL according to the size of the first distance D. When the size of the first distance D is the same, the temperature of the anti-reflection layer POL according to the fourth curve G4 may be greater than the temperature of the anti-reflection layer POL according to the third curve G3.

[0169] Exemplarily, when the first distance D is 2.8 mm in size, the temperature of the antireflection layer POL according to the third curve G3 can be 101.7°C. The temperature of the antireflection layer POL according to the fourth curve G4 can be 103°C.

[0170] Exemplarily, when the first distance D is 2.4 mm in size, the temperature of the antireflection layer POL according to the third curve G3 can be 103.4°C. The temperature of the antireflection layer POL according to the fourth curve G4 can be 109.9°C.

[0171] Exemplarily, when the first distance D is 2.1 mm in size, the temperature of the antireflection layer POL according to the third curve G3 can be 112.8°C. The temperature of the antireflection layer POL according to the fourth curve G4 can be 118.2°C.

[0172] Exemplarily, when the first distance D is 1.4 mm in size, the temperature of the antireflection layer POL according to the third curve G3 can be 128°C. The temperature of the antireflection layer POL according to the fourth curve G4 can be 134°C.

[0173] In an embodiment of the present application, even if the first distance D is reduced, the temperature can be relatively low. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the antireflection layer POL from being damaged due to heat. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the distance between the antireflection layer POL and the data driving part DC, and to increase the area of the display area DP-DA (refer to Figure 3 ).

[0174] Although the display panel DP and the data driving part DC are joined by the second conductive adhesive member AF-D in Figure 8a to 11 , the same can also be applied to joining the display panel DP and the flexible printed circuit board CF by the first conductive adhesive member AF-C, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
