Patent ID: 7708515

Claim:
An apparatus for transferring a plurality of substrates in manufacturing a liquid crystal display, comprising: a storage unit to store the plurality of substrates; a first conveyer to transport the substrate in a first direction; an unloading member disposed in the storage unit to transfer the substrates from the storage unit to the first conveyer; a cassette disposed in the storage unit to lift and lower the plurality of substrates between respective storage substrate positions and the unloading member; a substrate feeder to receive the substrates from the storage unit unloaded by the unloading member; a second conveyer formed in the substrate feeder to transport the substrate in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a third conveyer formed in the substrate feeder to transport the substrate in the first direction a processing equipment to receive the substrates unloaded from the cassette by the substrate feeder; a fourth conveyer installed in the processing equipment to convey the substrates of the substrate feeder into the processing equipment; and a shaft installed in the unloading member to lift and lower the unloading member, the shaft lifting the unloading member to unload the substrate from the cassette and then lowering the unloading member to loading the substrate to the first conveyer when the lower portion of the cassette reaches the bottom.
