The present invention relates to the field of liquid crystal display technologies, and in particular, to a gauging jig and a film attaching device having the same.
Polaroid (POL) is an essential part of a Liquid Crystal Display (hereinafter referred to as LCD) for realizing a display function. In a manufacturing process of the LCD, POL is necessarily attached to a display panel by using a film attaching device.
When the film attaching device attaches the POL to the display panel, projections of the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 on the carrying surface of the platform are required to completely coincide, otherwise linear bubbles may occur on the display panel or the display panel may jitter, thereby leading to spots (Mura) on the display screen. However, the operator generally cannot observe the lower first roller 2, which causes that it is difficult to regulate the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 to coincide.

With reference to
A gauging jig 1 is provided to gauge whether projections of a first roller 2 and a second roller 3, which are disposed in parallel on both sides of a carrying surface of a platform (not shown), coincide on the carrying surface of the platform. The gauging jig 1 may include a pointer instrument 10 which is provided on a side of the platform and perpendicular to the carrying surface of the platform. The pointer instrument 10 may have a first end 101a (lower end in figures) and a second end 101b (upper end in figures). The first end 101a of the pointer instrument 10 may be connected to the first roller 2 and intersect with a central axis of the first roller 2. The second end 101b of the pointer instrument 10 may extend close to the second roller 3.
Specifically, since the pointer instrument 10 is perpendicular to the carrying surface of the platform and the first end 101a of the pointer instrument 10 intersects with the central axis of first roller 2, if the projections of the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 coincide on the carrying surface of the platform, the second end 101b of the pointer instrument 10 will intersect with a central axis of second roller 3. If the projections of the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 do not coincide on the carrying surface of the platform, the second end 101b of the pointer instrument 10 will deviate from the central axis of the second roller 3. Thus, as long as the pointer instrument 10 is perpendicular to the carrying surface of the platform and the first end 101a of the pointer instrument 10 intersects with the central axis of the first roller 2, whether the projections of the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 coincide on the carrying surface of the platform or not can be determined according to spatial position between the second end 101b of the pointer instrument 10 and the central axis of the second roller 3.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
It should be note that, in this embodiment, the pivot 4 is arranged in the second hole 52 of the connecting component 5, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In practical applications, the pivot 4 may be directly arranged to the first roller 2 without the connecting component 5.
In this embodiment, the pointer instrument 10 may further include a pointer yoke 101 and a pointer 102 mounted to the pointer yoke 101. The pointer 102 extends upwards from the pointer yoke 101. Specifically, the pointer 102 is positioned at the second end 101b of the pointer instrument 10.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pointer 102 is detachably mounted to the pointer yoke 101. In such a manner, pointers 102 having different lengths may be mounted to the pointer yoke 101, such that the length of the pointer 102 can reach the level of the central axis of the second roller 3. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pointer 102 may be of a sheet-like or needle-like shape.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the gauging jig 1 may further include a level gauge 11 mounted in a receptacle 104 of the pointer instrument 10. The level gauge 11 may be used for gauging whether the pointer instrument 10 is vertical. Specifically, the level gauge 11 may include a bubble level gauge which is positioned to be perpendicular to the pointer instrument 10. By gauging the position of bubble in the bubble level gauge, whether it is in a horizontal status can be determined. Since the bubble level gauge is perpendicular to the pointer instrument 10, when the bubble level gauge is in the horizontal status, the pointer instrument 10 is in a vertical status; and when the bubble level gauge is not in the horizontal status, the pointer instrument 10 is not in a vertical status. Therefore, according to the gauging status of the bubble level gauge, whether the pointer instrument 10 is in the vertical status can be determined. If the pointer instrument 10 is not in the vertical status, the pointer instrument 10 is necessarily regulated to the vertical status.
As set forth above, fundamental principle of the gauging jig 1 according to the present invention is as follows: the gauging jig 1 may include a pointer instrument 10 which is perpendicular to the carrying surface of the platform. The pointer instrument 10 may have a first end 101a (lower end in figures) and a second end 101b (upper end in figures). The first end 101a of the pointer instrument 10 may intersect with a central axis of the first roller 2 and the second end 101b of the pointer instrument 10 may extend close to the second roller 3. When the projections of the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 coincide on the carrying surface of the platform, the second end 101b of the pointer instrument 10 may intersect with a central axis of the second roller 3; when the projections of the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 do not coincide on the carrying surface of the platform, the second end 101b of the pointer instrument 10 will deviate from the central axis of the second roller 3. Thus, as long as the pointer instrument 10 is perpendicular to the carrying surface of the platform and the first end 101a of the pointer instrument 10 intersects with the central axis of the first roller 2, the operator can determine whether the projections of the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 coincide on the carrying surface of the platform or not, by observing the spatial relation between the second end 101b of pointer instrument 10 and the central axis of second roller 3. Compared to the prior art, simply by observing the upper second roller 3 which can be easily seen without consideration of the lower first roller 2, the operator can promptly and accurately gauge whether the projections of the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 coincide on the carrying surface of the platform. Therefore, with the gauging jig 1 according to the present invention, gauging time can be saved while times of trial production can be reduced or even omitted, thereby improving the production efficiency and reducing cost.
As another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a film attaching device, which includes: a platform; a first roller and a second roller disposed in parallel on both sides of a carrying surface of the platform; and the gauging jig as described above.
Since the film attaching device of the present invention includes the gauging jig as described above, it can promptly and accurately gauge whether the projections of the first roller and the second roller coincide on the carrying surface of the platform. Therefore, according to the present invention, gauging time can be saved while times of trial production can be reduced or even omitted, thereby improving the production efficiency and reducing cost.
It should be understood that the above implementations are merely exemplary implementations for the purpose of illustrating the principle of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Various modifications and improvements can be made by a person having ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention. Accordingly, all of the modifications and improvements also fall into the protection scope of the present invention.
