  • Patent number: 8945821
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for patterning a flexible substrate. The method for patterning a flexible substrate includes providing a carrier substrate. A release layer is formed on the carrier substrate. A flexible substrate film is formed on the release layer. A plurality of UV blocking mask patterns is formed covering various portions of the flexible substrate film and the release layer. A UV lighting process is performed to expose the flexible substrate film and the release layer not covered by the UV blocking mask patterns, to a UV light. A debonding step is performed so that the various portions of the flexible substrate film directly above the various portions of the release layer, which were not exposed to the UV light, are separated from the carrier substrate.

  • Publication number: 20120216961
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for de-bonding a flexible device. The method for de-bonding a flexible device includes providing a first carrier to mount a carrier substrate thereon, a release layer thereon and a flexible device covering the release layer and a portion of the carrier substrate. A vacuum suction process is performed to suction the flexible device using a vacuum device. A separation process is performed with air entering into an interface between the flexible device and the release layer to separate a portion of the flexible device from the release layer and the carrier substrate using a separation device. A first release process is performed so that the portion of the flexible device is separated from the vacuum device.
