  • Touchless TFT panel lamination fixture and process
    Patent number: 7303643
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for laminating a TFT panel with a glass support plate without the need to touch an active area of the TFT panel. To accomplish this result, a touchless vacuum lamination chuck secures the TFT panel by its outer margins that do not carry TFTs. To facilitate lamination of the TFT panel, a pressure chamber is formed within the laminating chuck to provide support to the center region of the TFT panel as it is brought into contact with the glass support plate.
