An overlay applicator tray including a cradle including a device slot. The device slot is configured to securely hold an electronic device in the cradle. The overlay applicator tray also can include an overlay applicator. The overlay applicator can include an overlay layer and an adhesive release liner. The overlay layer can include a top side and a bottom side. The bottom side is configured to be adhered to a screen of the electronic device. The adhesive release liner is removably attached to the bottom side of the overlay layer. The overlay applicator tray additionally can include an alignment piece coupling the cradle to the overlay applicator. The alignment piece aligns the overlay layer of the overlay applicator with the screen as the overlay layer is applied to the screen when the electronic device is securely held in the device slot. The overlay applicator tray further can include a first pull tab on the adhesive release liner. The first pull tab is configured to be pulled to remove the adhesive release liner from the bottom side of the overlay layer and expose an adhesive of the overlay layer. Other embodiments are described.

A method for producing laminated glass or a precursor thereof using a first glass pane with a thickness of at least 1.4 mm and a second glass pane with a thickness of not more than 1.0 mm, the first and second glass panes differing in curvature and/or locally in shape, includes aligning an arrangement including the first and second glass panes and a laminating film by positioning a side edge of the arrangement against a stop element; pre-fixing the aligned arrangement at at least two locations on the positioned side edge of the arrangement by one or more fixing elements and heating, after which the fixing element or elements are removed again; and forming a fixed arrangement by passing the pre-fixed arrangement through a roller arrangement with the pre-fixed side edge of the arrangement ahead. The arrangement is heated in sections during passage.

A unit plate position fixation method and device and a lamination machine are provided. The unit plate position fixation method includes: obtaining peripheral position information of unit plates located between two layers of separators; controlling a hot-pressing device according to the peripheral position information to perform hot pressing on the two layers of separators, so that the two layers of separators are adhered at peripheral positions of the unit plates.

A sheet processing apparatus is configured to sandwich one or more sheet media in a two-ply sheet in which two sheets are overlaid and bonded together at a portion of the two-ply sheet. The sheet processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to control insertion processing to insert the one or more sheet media into the two-ply sheet based on a length of the two-ply sheet in a conveyance direction, a length of one of the one or more sheet media in the conveyance direction, and a number of the one or more sheet media.

A display device includes a cover window including a curved portion, and a panel member laminated on the cover window. A method of manufacturing a display device includes mounting a cover window including a curved portion on a first jig including a curved portion, mounting a panel member on a second jig that conforms to a surface of the first jig, and laminating the cover window to the panel member by moving a first one of the first jig or the second jig to a first other one of the first jig or the second jig. An apparatus for manufacturing a display device includes a first jig including a mount surface that is partially curved to conform to a surface of a cover window, a second jig including a surface conforming to the mount surface and configured to contact a panel member, and a driving unit.

Disclosed are a film pasting method and apparatus. The method includes: providing a protective film sheet, an electronic device and a push mechanism; aligning the protective film sheet with a screen; moving the push mechanism from a first side to a second side so as to sequentially paste the protective film sheet on the screen correspondingly. During a process of film pasting, an area where the protective film sheet is pasted with the screen defines a contact boundary proximate to the second side, the protective film sheet enters an exhaust state when the contact boundary moves, a contact angle is formed between a connection face which is formed by the contact boundary and the second side, and the screen, the contact angle gradually decreases along a moving direction of the contact boundary.

A bonding apparatus according to an embodiment includes a first chuck, a second chuck, and a pushpin arranged in a center portion of the second chuck. The first chuck includes a first area and a second area in a plane view. The first chuck includes a first rib arranged to divide the first area and the second area from each other in the plane view. The first area includes an area that overlaps the pushpin in the plane view. The second area encircles an outer perimeter of the first area in the plane view. The first chuck has a plurality of pins arranged at intervals in the second area, and has no pin in the area of the first area that overlaps the pushpin in the plane view.

Disclosed is a lamination system. A lamination system, which bonds a panel and a bonding target panel to from a panel assembly, according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a transfer which moves along a transfer shuttle and supports any one among the panel, the bonding target panel, and the panel assembly, a bonding chamber which is provided parallel to the transfer shuttle and bonds the panel and the bonding target panel, and a first robot which transfers any one among the panel, the bonding target panel, and the panel assembly between the transfer and the bonding chamber.

The invention relates to a multilayer wood composite block comprising a plurality of wood layers, wherein at least 5 wood layers of the plurality of wood layers have a layer thickness of 0.05 to 1 mm; a plurality of plastic layers, wherein at least 5 plastic layers of the plurality of plastic layers consist of translucent and/or transparent plastic and have a layer thickness of 0.05 to 1 mm; and a plurality of adhesive layers; wherein the wood and/or plastic layers are arranged in a superimposed manner; and wherein the adhesive layers are arranged between successive wood and/or plastic layers and bond them together; and a multilayer wood veneer.

A laminator for high-precision solvent-bonding of retardation films is disclosed. The laminator is capable of producing laminates with high orientation repeatability and low in-plane stress which can otherwise create gaps between optimum theoretical performance and that which is physically realizable. Batch-mode laminators are scalable to large area mother-sheets and are suited to high-throughput manufacturing.
