Abstract:
A liquid crystal panel manufacturing apparatus for simultaneously manufacturing a plurality of liquid crystal panels, each having a liquid crystal cell, by adhering a plurality of pairs of substrates stacked in a vertical direction such that each of the plurality of pairs of substrates are adhered with a thermosetting resin, comprising:jigs stacked in a plurality of stages, said jigs including:(a) an upper jig and a lower jig respectively arranged above and below said plurality of pairs of substrates, each of said plurality of pairs of substrates corresponding to one of said liquid crystal panels, and(b) at least one interposed jig, said at least one interposed jig and said plurality of pairs of substrates being alternately disposed between said upper jig and said lower jig;O-rings at positions corresponding to portions on said thermosetting resin;fluid pressurizing means for introducing a pressure fluid into pressure regions defined by said O-rings, surfaces of said jigs, and surfaces of said substrates through holes respectively formed in said jigs, to pressurize said substrates in units of pairs;a mechanical press mechanism for entirely pressing said plurality of pairs of substrates stacked alternately with said at least one interposed jig; andheating means for heating and calcining said plurality of pairs of substrates pressed by said mechanical press mechanism,wherein adhered portions adhered with said thermosetting resin and a display portion of said liquid crystal cell are pressurized, in units of pairs of substrates, in a vertical direction with a uniform pressure.
