Abstract:
1. A cassette for receiving mother substrates, the mother substrates including a plurality of liquid crystal display panels, each including liquid crystal, the cassette comprising: a frame, including: wherein the right edge of the top wall meets the top edge of the right wall; wherein the bottom edge of the right wall meets the right edge of the bottom wall; a plurality of substantially flat E-shaped support plates attached in the frame to support rectangular mother substrates having large liquid crystal display panels formed thereon by a liquid crystal dropping method to be placed thereon, each support plate having an overall length of the support plate that is greater than an overall width of the support plate, each support plate including: a front lengthwise edge disposed adjacent to and spaced from the plane forming the open front side of the frame, wherein the front lengthwise edge extends in a straight line from the left widthwise edge to the right widthwise edge except for first and second elongated notches formed in the front lengthwise edge of the support plate in order to accommodate a robot arm that is used to place a rectangular mother substrate on the E-shaped surface of the support plate, wherein the first and second elongated notches extend from the front lengthwise edge towards the rear lengthwise edge in a linear manner to match contours of the robot arm with an operational moving margin, wherein the plurality of E-shaped support plates contact with the mother substrates in surface-to-surface to minimize deformation of the mother substrates and to disperse the weight of the mother substrates, wherein a rear portion of the support plate extends from the left wall to the right wall to uniformly distribute a weight of the mother substrates in a lengthwise direction, wherein the width of the rear portion of the support plate is less than a length of each elongated notch and greater than a width of each elongated notch, wherein the width of the rear portion of the support plate is greater than a distance between the rear lengthwise edge of the support plate and the rear wall of the frame and is greater than a distance between the front lengthwise edge of the support plate and the plane forming the open front side of the frame, and wherein a wall thickness of the top, bottom, left, right and rear walls is less than the distance between the rear lengthwise edge of the support plate and the rear wall of the frame and is less than the distance between the front lengthwise edge of the support plate and the plane forming the open front side of the frame.
