Abstract: A method for fabricating a protection member for a display apparatus includes; vertically standing a protection panel with respect to a ground surface, disposing a protection cushion to stand vertically with respect to the ground surface and to face the protection panel, and attaching the protection cushion to the protection panel while the protection panel and the protection cushion remain vertically standing with respect to the ground surface.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for soldering an LED driving element to an LCD panel includes a panel holding unit, a rotating unit and a soldering unit. The panel holding unit holds the display panel. The rotating unit supports the panel holding unit at initial radial and angular positions relative to a center of rotation of the rotating unit and rotates the holding unit in a horizontal plane about the center of rotation to selected angular positions relative thereto. The soldering unit is disposed above the rotating unit at the initial radial position and at a first angular position relative to initial angular position of the holding unit, and is operable to solder the driving element of the display panel held by the panel holding unit when the rotating unit rotates the panel holding unit to the first angular position. The apparatus and method provide improved display panel productivity.
