Patent ID: 7220922

Claim:
Equipment for mounting a film-like component onto a plate-like component, the plate-like component having a first placement section on one side edge thereof and a second placement section on another side edge thereof, and the film-like component having a first section on one side edge thereof and a second section on another side edge thereof, said equipment comprising: a first mounting apparatus for placing the first section of the film-like component onto the first placement section of the plate-like component, said first mounting apparatus including (i) a first adhesive supply section for supplying adhesive to the first placement section of the plate-like component, (ii) a first pre-press bonding section for aligning the first section of the film-like component with the first placement section of the plate-like component, and pressing the first section onto the first placement section with a first pressing force, (iii) a first final-press bonding section for pressing the first section of the film-like component against the first placement section of the plate-like component with a second pressing force, and for thereby fixing the first section of the film-like component onto the first placement section of the plate-like component, (iv) a first transfer section for holding the plate-like component, and transferring the plate-like component sequentially to said first adhesive supply section, said first pre-press bonding section, and said first final-press bonding section, and (v) a film-like component supply section for supplying the film-like component to said first pre-press bonding section; and a second mounting apparatus for placing the second section of the film-like component onto the second placement section of the plate-like component.
