  • Publication number: 20260143950
    Abstract: A display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a display panel including a plurality of sub pixels, a cover glass disposed above the display panel, the cover glass comprising a first area and a second area, and a metal plate disposed below the display panel, the metal plate comprising a first metal plate corresponding to the first area and a second metal plate corresponding to the second area. The first metal plate and the second metal plate may be forcibly fitted together in a fastening area between the first area and the second area to mechanically couple the first metal plate and the second metal plate. By doing this, separation between the cover glass and the display panel in a local curvature portion may be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 11530489
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for electro-forming. The apparatus for electro-forming includes a plating bath which is a space where a substrate is plated and a clamp disposed within the plating bath and configured to grasp the substrate disposed in a horizontal direction. The apparatus for electro-forming further includes an assembly including an anode spaced above the substrate and connected to an external power supply and a plating solution supply unit spaced above the substrate and configured to supply a plating solution. The apparatus for electro-forming also includes a driving unit configured to reciprocate the assembly in a horizontal direction at a distance from the substrate. The assembly further includes an insulator between the anode and the plating solution supply unit.

  • Patent number: 11466378
    Abstract: Electroplating apparatus and electroplating method using the same. Provided is an electroplating apparatus. The electroplating apparatus includes a plating bath and a stage configured to support a substrate loaded into the plating bath to be disposed in a horizontal direction. The electroplating apparatus further includes a plurality of cathodes disposed on both sides of the substrate and an anode configured to be movable above the substrate. The electroplating apparatus also includes a plurality of spray nozzles disposed on at least one side of the anode and configured to spray a plating solution. The electroplating apparatus further includes a shield which is disposed on both sides of the anode and whose one end is more adjacent to the substrate than the anode.
