Publication number: 20170229417Abstract: A driver mounting apparatus 40 includes a driver mount-side heat supply support member 42, a substrate support member 41, a driver-side heat supply support member 43, a first moving portion 44, and a second moving portion 45. The driver mount-side heat supply support member 42 supports a driver mount portion GSd and supplies heat to the driver mount portion GSd. The substrate support member supports a substrate main portion GSm. The driver-side heat supply support member 43 supports and sandwich a driver 21 with the driver mount-side heat supply support member 42 and supplies heat to the driver 21. The first moving portion 44 relatively moves the driver mount portion GSd and the driver mount-side heat supply support member 42 in an overlapping direction in which the glass substrate GS and the driver 21 are overlapped. The second moving portion 45 relatively moves the driver 21 and the driver-side heat supply support member 43 in the overlapping direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2015Publication date: August 10, 2017Inventors: Katsuhiro YAMAGUCHI, Nobuhiro NAKATA

Publication number: 20130335684Abstract: A functional panel (FP) includes a COM substrate (4) and an SEG substrate (3) that face each other. The functional panel (FP) is combined with a display panel (LP) via an adhesive. The COM substrate (4), which is provided farther from the display panel (LP) than the SEG substrate (3) is, has edges (E1, E2) that face each other. The SEG substrate (3), which is provided closer to the display panel (LP) than the COM substrate (4) is, has (i) an edge (E3) provided along and inside the edge (E1) when viewed from above and (ii) an edge (E4) provided along and inside the edge (E2) when viewed from above. This effectively prevents the occurrence of a defective external shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2012Publication date: December 19, 2013Inventors: Kazuhiro Yoshikawa, Kazunori Tanimoto, Masayuki Tsuji, Takayuki Hayano, Nobuhiro Nakata, Yoshihiro Asai, Masahiro Yoshida, Tatsuji Saitoh, Isao Ogasawara
