Abstract: A tape sticking apparatus includes a rubber sheet that partitions an airtight space formed above a chamber into first and second airtight spaces and, a tape frame that holds a tape above the rubber sheet, and a supply/exhaust mechanism that switches between pressurizing and depressurizing by supplying gas to or sucking gas from the first and second airtight spaces. The gas supply/exhaust mechanism includes a first flow-rate control valve that controls the flow rate of sucked gas when the first airtight space is depressurized, and a second flow-rate control valve that controls the flow rate of supplied when the first airtight space is pressurized.

Abstract: A phosphor paste is applied to inner surfaces of a cell. Then, a conveyer moves a substrate relative to a CCD camera at a constant speed. Simultaneously, two LEDs radiate visible light onto a portion, to be inspected, of the substrate. The visible light is light configured to have a wavelength so as to be able to prevent the phosphor of the phosphor paste from being excited and emitting light and reflected by a liquid surface of the phosphor paste to produce reflected light. Thereafter, the CCD camera captures an image of the phosphor paste and a data processor processes the received image data, and determines whether a phosphor layer formed by drying the phosphor paste will normally be formed, prior to formation of phosphor layer.
