  • Patent number: 9496526
    Abstract: An apparatus for taking a flexible display panel off includes a roller, a linear motion member, a fastening apparatus and a first driving apparatus. The roller has a circumferential surface which allows a first portion of the flexible display panel to be wound thereon. The linear motion member has a carrying surface. A second portion of the flexible display panel is in contact with the carrying surface. The fastening apparatus is used to fasten the flexible display panel onto the carrying surface of the linear motion member. The first driving apparatus is used to drive the linear motion member to move linearly relative to the circumferential surface, so that the first portion departs from the circumferential surface and moves onto the carrying surface along with the second portion.

  • Patent number: 9228115
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a flexible substrate structure includes the following steps. A supporting carrier is provided, and a release layer is formed on the supporting carrier, where the release layer includes a photo-sensitive adhesive layer. A local modification process is performed to form a bonding region with adhesion property in modified parts of the release layer, and to form a release region without adhesion property in unmodified parts of the release layer. The local modification process includes performing a local exposure process with a light source to form the bonding region with adhesion property in illuminated parts of the release layer, and to form a release region without adhesion property in unilluminated parts of the release layer.
