A method for producing a laminated embossed web includes the steps of: (a) providing a first web and at least a further web, (b) embossing the first web with a first pattern of embossments, each embossment comprising a top and a side, (c) providing an adhesive with an electrostatic charge, (d) directing the adhesive to the tops of the embossments, and (e) combining the webs.

A method for laminating glass panels includes (1) providing a TFT substrate and a CF substrate to be laminated, in which the CF substrate is coated with a seal resin and the TFT substrate carries liquid crystal dropped thereon; (2) aligning and laminating the TFT substrate and the CF substrate in a vacuum environment to complete a lamination process; (3) applying UV light to transmit through the TFT substrate for carrying out UV curing of the seal resin interposed between the CF substrate and the TFT substrate so as to complete a UV curing process; and (4) removing the laminated CF substrate and the TFT substrate that have been subjected to the UV curing process out of the vacuum environment.

A display device manufacturing apparatus includes a support portion including a core portion and a conductive portion disposed over the core portion. The core portion includes a first flat surface extending in a first direction; a second flat surface extending in the first direction and being opposite to the first flat surface; and a curved surface extending between the first flat surface and the second flat surface. The conductive portion includes a first flat conductive portion overlapping the first flat surface of the core portion in a second direction; a second flat conductive portion overlapping the second flat surface of the core portion in the second direction; and a curved conductive portion extending between the first flat conductive portion and the second flat conductive portion.

A method for making a bonded article, wherein a thin glass substrate is bonded on a support substrate in the absence of any interlayer by an electrostatic adhesion process with the assistance of external pressure, the pressure is applied constantly or stepwise during the adhesion process by use of a tool such as a roll or a wheel or other movable device with curved surface. The bonded article has no defects, e.g. bubbles or inclusions, in the bonded interface, which benefits transportation of the thin glass substrate and its post-processing as well. Such defect-free bonded article is also disclosed. Pressure supported electrostatic adhesion, initiated by electrostatic charges adhesion of a two members, e.g. a substrate member and a support member, is enabled to minimize, prevent and exclude defects, distortion between the adhered surfaces.

A method of manufacturing an electrode body includes a charging step, a first laminating step, and a second laminating step to manufacture the electrode body by laminating positive and negative electrode plates by interposing a separator therebetween. In the charging step, one of the positive and negative electrode plates is a first electrode plate and an other one is a second electrode plate, and one of the first electrode plate and the separator is charged to a potential enough to generate an attraction force between the first electrode plate and the separator. The first laminating step includes bringing the first electrode plate and the separator, at least one of which is charged, into direct contact to attach each other to form a laminated body. In the second charging step, the second electrode plate is laminated on the laminated body to form the electrode body.
