A method for manufacturing a curved display panel using a prefabricated flat liquid crystal panel including a lower substrate and an upper substrate formed of glass and opposite each other, each of the lower substrate and the upper substrate being provided with a polarizing plate, and a liquid crystal layer formed between the lower substrate and the upper substrate, includes separating the polarizing plates from the lower substrate and the upper substrate respectively, reducing a thickness of the liquid crystal panel, by removing an outer surface of each of the lower substrate and the upper substrate from which the polarizing plates are separated, to a designated thickness, and bending the liquid crystal panel having the designated thickness in a curved shape.

Display device

A display device includes a flexible first substrate including a display part, a bending part at one side of the display part, and a pad part at one side of the bending part; a back film adhered to a portion corresponding to the display part and the pad part on a bottom of the first substrate; a supporting member disposed below a portion of the back film corresponding to the display part, wherein the supporting member is not bent, and wherein the bending part of the first substrate is bent along a side of the supporting member; and a second substrate facing the display part.

Method and apparatus for cold-stamping onto three-dimensional objects

A method and an apparatus for cold-stamping onto a three dimensional object. In a first step, an adhesive is applied to the object at a first workstation. In a second step, a transfer film is pressed onto the object by a pressing device at a second workstation. At the same time, the adhesive is cured at the second workstation. As a result, the decorative material of the transfer film adheres to the object at the positions on the object which are provided with adhesive. If, following this, the transfer film is removed from the three-dimensional object after being pressed on, the decorative material remains on the object at the desired positions. At the positions at which in the first step no adhesive has been applied to the object, the decorative material does not adhere to the object but rather remains on the carrier film of the transfer film.

Method of manufacturing contoured objects by radio frequency welding and tooling assembly for same
10773462 · 2020-09-15 · ·

A method includes compressing a non-dielectric, elastically-deformable component, a wire mesh component, and a dielectric, contoured object between first and second forming tools. Once the components are compressed, radio frequency energy is supplied to the first forming tool, thereby causing a radio frequency electromagnetic field to be generated between the first forming tool and the wire mesh component that results in a contoured weld of the contoured object. A tooling assembly is configured to carry out the method.

Methods for making composite parts from stacked partially cured sublaminate units
10710327 · 2020-07-14 · ·

A method of forming a composite article. One step involves applying adhesive on surfaces of a plurality of sublaminate units, each ply of each sublaminate unit comprising fibers impregnated with resin which has been initially cured to 30% to 50% of full cure. The initially cured sublaminate units are then arranged in a stack, which stack is pressed against a surface of a forming tool. While pressure is being applied, the stack is heated to an intermediate temperature above a glass transition temperature of the resin for a time interval sufficient to intermediately cure the resin to 50% to 70% of full cure to form a composite laminate having a contour defined by the surface of the forming tool. Then the resin is finally cured at a final temperature higher than the intermediate temperature.

Laminating apparatus and manufacturing method of display device

A method of laminating includes a step of preparing each of a first jig to fix a window, and a second jig including a shape pad, in which the second jig faces the first jig, and the shape pad includes each of a top surface protruding toward the first jig, sides surrounding the top surface, and at least one incision pattern, which is inwardly recessed from at least one of the sides of the shape pad and extends toward the first jig. The method further includes a step of bonding the window and the panel by applying pressure to the panel with the shape pad.
