Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a film transferring method. More particularly, the present invention relates to a film transferring method capable of precise transferring control even when a difference in adhesion between components used in a transferring process is insignificant.

BACKGROUND ART

In various fields, a process of adhering a film is being applied, and a technology for attaching the film to a target part is also diversifying.

The technology of adhering the film may be used, for example, when adhering the film to the surface of various household electronic devices such as washing machines and refrigerators or communication devices such as smart phones.

As the technology for adhering the film, various technologies such as a technology using a stamp are known, and this technology is also used as a technology to adhere a film of a particularly large area. In order to adhere the film to a part to be a target, an adhesion force between a stamp carrying the film and the film and the adhesion force between the targeted part and the film should be considered.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are diagrams for explaining an example of conventional film transferring.

First, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 1, for a picking operation adhering a film 20 adhered to a source substrate 10 to a stamp 30, and, as shown in (c) and (d) of FIG. 1, a placing operation transferring the film 20 adhered to the stamp 30 to a targeted substrate 40, the adhesion forces between the source substrate 10, the film 20, the stamp 30, and the targeted substrate 40 should be considered.

That is, in order to adhere the film 20 of the source substrate 10 to the stamp 30, the adhesion force between the stamp 30 and the film 20 should be designed to be larger than the adhesion force between the source substrate 10 and the film 20. Further, in order to transfer the film 20 adhered to the stamp 30 to the targeted substrate 40, the adhesion force between the targeted substrate 40 and the film 20 should be designed to be greater than the adhesion force between the stamp 30 and the film 20.

However, if the difference in the adhesion force between the source substrate 10 and the film 20, the adhesion force between the stamp 30 and the film 20, and the adhesion force between the targeted substrate 40 and the film 20 is insignificant, there is a problem that it is difficult to accurately transfer the film 20 of the source substrate 10 to the targeted substrate 40.

Particularly, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 2, for a stacking operation in which a plurality of films 20 should be stacked on the targeted substrate 40, and as shown in (c) and (d) of FIG. 2, for a picking operation in which all a plurality of films 20 stacked on the targeted substrate 40 are adhered to the stamp 30, even the magnitude of each adhesion force between the films 20 should be considered, and if the difference in each adhesion force between the films 20 is insignificant, it may be more difficult to design the transferring process.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a film transferring method according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a film transferring process according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, a case of transferring a film adhered to a substrate by a roller is described.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the film transferring method may include a transporting step (S110), a close contacting step (S120), and a transferring step (S130).

First, in the film transferring method according to the present invention, the first adhesion force between the roller 140 and the film 150 and the second adhesion force between the film 150 and the substrate 160 may be substantially the same.

Also, the film 150 may include a first adhesion surface 151 on one surface and a second adhesion surface 152 on the other surface. That is, the first adhesion surface 151 may be formed on one surface of the film 150, and the second adhesion surface 152 may be formed on the other surface of the film 150.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the front end/the front part and the rear end/the rear part are described based on the transporting direction of the film 150. That is, when the film 150 is moved from the first point to the second point, the first point is described as the rear end/the rear part and the second point as the front end/the front part.

The transporting step S110 may be a step of transporting the substrate 160 and the film 150 of which the first adhesion surface 151 is adhered to the substrate 160 in the first direction A1. Since the film 150 is in a state in which the first adhesion surface 151 is adhered to the substrate 160, it may be moved together with the substrate 160 in the first direction A1.

Also, the front adhesion surface 155 may be formed at the front end of the first adhesion surface 151. The first adhesion surface 151 may have the second adhesion force with the substrate 160, while the front adhesion surface 155 may have a first weak adhesion force that is less than the second adhesion force with the substrate 160.

The close contacting step S120 may be a step of bringing the front end of the second adhesion surface 152 of the transported film 150 to be in close contact with the roller 140 rotating in the first rotation direction R1.

Referring to FIG. 4, the roller 140 may be provided on the upper side of the film 150, and the lower end of the roller 140 may be positioned so as to be spaced apart from the upper surface of the substrate 160 by a height corresponding to the thickness of the film 150.

Also, when the roller 140 rotates in the first rotation direction R1, the vertical lower end of the roller 140 may move in the first direction A1.

Therefore, when the film 150 transported together with the substrate 160 is positioned vertically to the lower side of the center of the roller 140, the film 150 may be in close contact with the roller 140 from the front end of the second adhesion surface 152.

The transferring step S130 may be a step of peeling the front adhesion surface 155 of the first adhesion surface 151 from the substrate 160 while simultaneously adhering the front end of the second adhesion surface 152 to the roller 140 and continuously transporting the substrate 160 in the first direction A1, thereby peeling the film 150 from the substrate 160 and transferring the film 150 to the roller 140.

In the transferring step S130, at the point that the film 150 to be transported is positioned vertically below the center of the roller 140 and the front end of the second adhesion surface 152 of the film 150 is in close contact with the roller 140, the first adhesion force occurs between the roller 140 and the second adhesion surface 152. On the other hand, a first weak adhesion force that is less than the second adhesion force occurs between the front adhesion surface 155 and the substrate 160. Here, since the second adhesion force is substantially the same as the first adhesion force, the adhesion force between the roller 140 and the second adhesion surface 152 becomes larger than the adhesion force between the front adhesion surface 155 and the substrate 160, so that the front adhesion surface 155 may be peeled off from the substrate 160.

Also, once the front adhesion surface 155 is peeled from the substrate 160, as the substrate 160 continues to move in the first direction A1, the first adhesion surface 151 that was adhered to the substrate 160 is peeled off from the substrate 160 later and simultaneously the second adhesion surface 152 of the film 150 may be adhered to the roller 140. Thus, the film 150 may be separated from the substrate 160 and transferred to the roller 140 at the same time.

The front adhesion surface 155 may be implemented in various forms to have the adhesion force that is smaller than the adhesion force of the first adhesion surface 151.

FIG. 5 is an diagram for explaining the film used in the film transferring method according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and first, as shown in (a) of FIG. 5, a weak adhesion force layer 156 may be provided on the front adhesion surface 155 of the film 150 to generate the first weak adhesion force.

The weak adhesion force layer 156 may be formed of a material that causes the adhesion force to be smaller than the second adhesion force. For example, the film 150 may be formed of a polymer material, and the weak adhesion force layer 156 may be formed of a graphene material. When the weak adhesion force layer 156 of the graphene material is provided at the front end of the film 150 and implemented as the weak adhesion force layer 156, the adhesion force with the substrate 160 may be reduced.

The weak adhesion force layer 156 may be prepared by at least any one of a coating, an application, an adhesive, and a deposition.

In another example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5, the first adhesion surface 151 may be formed to be shorter than the second adhesion surface 152, and thus, the front adhesion surface 155 may be formed to be inclined in the direction of the second adhesion surface 152. In this way, if the thickness of the front end of the film 150 is reduced, the adhesion force may be reduced.

In another example, as shown in (c) of FIG. 5, the front adhesion surface 155 may be formed of protrusions and depressions. When the front adhesion surface 155 is formed of the protrusions and depressions, the contact area may be reduced, and the adhesion force of the front adhesion surface 155 may be reduced.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a film transferring method according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a film transferring process according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, a case of transferring the film adhered to the roller to the substrate is described, and the descriptions of the same contents as in the first embodiment as above-described are omitted as much as possible.

As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the film transferring method according to the present embodiment is the film transferring method of transferring the film 250 adhered to the roller 240 to the substrate 260 in the state that the first adhesion force between the roller 240 and the film 250 is substantially the same as the second adhesion force between the film 250 and the substrate 260, and includes a rotating step (S210), a close contacting step (S220), and a transferring step (S230).

The rotating step S210 may be a step of rotating the roller 240 and the film 250 having the first adhesion surface 251 adhered to the roller 240 in the first rotation direction R1.

The close contacting step S220 may be a step in which the front end of the second adhesion surface 252 of the film 250, which is rotated by transporting the substrate 260 in the first direction A1, is in close contact with the transported substrate 260.

The transferring step S230 may be a step of simultaneously peeling the front adhesion surface 255 of the first adhesion surface 251 from the roller 240 and adhering the front end of the second adhesion surface 152 to the substrate 260 and continuously transporting the substrate 160 in the first direction A1, thereby peeling the film 250 from the roller 240 and transferring the film 150 to the substrate 260.

In the present embodiment, a first weak adhesion force that is less than the first adhesion force may be formed between the front adhesion surface 255 and the roller 240 of the first adhesion surface 251.

Accordingly, in the transferring step S230, if the front end of the rotating film 250 is disposed vertically below the center of the roller 240 and in close contact with the upper surface of the substrate 260, the second adhesion force between the second adhesion surface 252 of the film 250 and the substrate 260 becomes larger than the first weak adhesion force between the front adhesion surface 255 and the roller 240, and resultantly the front adhesion surface 255 may be peeled from the roller 240.

Also, if once the front adhesion surface 255 is peeled from the roller 240, as the substrate 260 continues to move in the first direction A1, the first adhesion surface 251 that was adhered to the roller 240 is peeled off from the roller 240 and the second adhesion surface 252 of the film 250 may be adhered to the substrate 260. Thus, resultantly, the film 250 may be separated from the roller 240 and transferred to the substrate 260 at the same time.

In the present embodiment, the front adhesion surface 255 of the first adhesion surface 251 may be applied with all forms described in the first embodiment with reference to FIG. 5.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a film transferring method according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is an diagram for explaining a film transferring process according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, another film transferring method according to the present embodiment is a film transferring method of transferring the film 350 adhered to the substrate 360 to the roller 340 in the state in which the first adhesion force between the roller 340 and the film 350 is substantially the same as the second adhesion force between the film 350 and the substrate 360, and may include the transporting step S310, the close contacting step S320, and the transferring step S330.

The transporting step S310 may be a step of transporting the substrate 360 and the film 350 having the first adhesion surface 351 adhered to the substrate 360 in the first direction A1. Since the film 350 is in a state where the first adhesion surface 351 is adhered to the substrate 360, it may be moved together with the substrate 360 in the first direction A1.

In addition, the front adhesion surface 355 may be formed at the front end of the second adhesion surface 352. The second adhesion surface 352 may have a first adhesion force with the roller 340, while the front adhesion surface 355 may have a first strong adhesion force that is larger than the first adhesion force with the roller 340.

The close contacting step S320 may be a step of rotating the front end of the second adhesion surface 352 of the transported film 350 in the first rotation direction R1 to be in close contact with the roller 340.

If the film 350 transported together with the substrate 360 is positioned vertically below the center of the roller 340, the film 350 may be in close contact with the roller 340 from the front end of the second adhesion surface 352.

The transferring step S330 may be a step of peeling the front adhesion surface 355 of the second adhesion surface 352 to the roller 340 and simultaneously peeling off the front end of the first adhesion surface 351 from the substrate 360 and continuously transporting the substrate 360 in the first direction A1 to peel the film 350 from the substrate 360 to be transferred to the roller 340.

In the transferring step S330, if the transported film 350 is positioned vertically below the center of the roller 340 and the front adhesion surface 355 of the second adhesion surface 352 of the film 350 is in close contact with the roller 340, the first strong adhesion force that is larger than the first adhesion force occurs between the roller 340 and the front adhesion surface 355. On the other hand, since the second adhesion force between the first adhesion surface 351 and the substrate 360 is less than the first strong adhesion force, the front end of the first adhesion surface 351 may eventually peel off from the substrate 360.

Also, if once the front end of the first adhesion surface 351 is peeled from the substrate 360, as the substrate 360 continues to move in the first direction A1, the first adhesion surface 351 that was adhered to the substrate 360 is then peeled off from the substrate 360, and the second adhesion surface 352 of the film 350 may be adhered to the roller 340. Thus, resultantly, the film 350 may be separated from the substrate 360 and transferred to the roller 340 at the same time.

The front adhesion surface 355 may be implemented in various forms to have the adhesion force that is greater than the adhesion force of the second adhesion surface 352.

FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a film used in a transferring method according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in (a) of FIG. 10, the strong adhesion force layer 356 to generate the first strong adhesion force may be provided on the front adhesion surface 355 of the film 350.

The strong adhesion force layer 356 may be made of a thin film of a ferromagnetic material, and the ferromagnetic material may include, for example, nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), or the like. If the strong adhesion force layer 356 of the ferromagnetic material is provided, the adhesion force may be increased.

In addition, when the film 350 is formed of a polymer material, the strong adhesion force layer 356 may be formed of a material that generates an electrostatic force. By making the strong adhesion force layer 356 generate a strong electrostatic force, the strong adhesion force may be realized.

The strong adhesion force layer 356 may be prepared by at least any one method of coating, application, adhesion, and deposition.

In another example, as shown in (b) of FIG.10, the second adhesion surface 352 may be formed to have a first surface roughness, and the front adhesion surface 355 may be formed to have a second surface roughness that is smaller than the first surface roughness. If the surface roughness of the front adhesion surface 355 is smaller than the overall surface roughness of the second adhesion surface 352, since the adhesion area between the front adhesion surface 355 and the roller 340 may be increased, the adhesion force between the front adhesion surface 355 and the roller 340 may be relatively larger.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a film transferring method according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining a film transferring process according to a forth embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, a case of transferring the film adhered to the roller to the substrate is described, and the description of the same contents as those of the third embodiment is omitted as much as possible.

As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the film transferring method according to the present embodiment, in the state that the first adhesion force between the roller 440 and the film 450 and the second adhesion force between the film 450 and the substrate 460 are substantially the same, may include a rotating step (S410), a close contacting step (S420), and a transferring step (S430) as a film transferring method of transferring the film 450 adhered to the roller 440 to the substrate 460.

The rotating step (S410) may be a step of rotating the roller 440 and the film 450 having the first adhesion surface 451 adhered to the roller 440 in the first rotation direction R1.

The close contacting step S420 may be a step of contacting the front end of the second adhesion surface 452 of the rotated film 450 to the transported substrate 460 by transporting the substrate 460 in the first direction A1.

The transferring step S430 may be a step of peeling the film 450 from roller 440 to be transferred to the substrate 460 by adhering the front adhesion surface 455 of the second adhesion surface 452 to the substrate 460, while simultaneously peeling the front end of the first adhesion surface 451 from the roller 440 and continuously transporting the substrate 460 in the first direction A1.

In the present embodiment, the first strong adhesion force that is larger than the second adhesion force may be formed between the front adhesion surface 455 of the second adhesion surface 452 and the substrate 460.

Accordingly, in the transferring step S430, if the front end of the rotated film 450 is disposed vertically below the center of the roller 440 and is contacted with the upper surface of the substrate 460, since the first strong adhesion force that is larger than the first adhesion force between the first adhesion surface 451 and the roller 440 is generated between the front adhesion surface 455 and the substrate 460, the first adhesion surface 451 may be peeled from the roller 440.

Also, once the front end of the first adhesion surface 451 is peeled from the roller 440, as the substrate 460 continues to move in the first direction A1, all of the first adhesion surface 451 that was adhered to the roller 440 is peeled off from the roller 440, at the same time, the second adhesion surface 452 of the film 450 may be adhered to the substrate 460. Thus, consequently, the film 450 may be separated from the roller 440 and transferred to the substrate 460 at the same time.

In the present embodiment, the front adhesion surface 455 of the second adhesion surface 452 may be applied as described in the third embodiment with reference to FIG. 10.

On the other hand, the previous explanation is based on the fact that the front adhesion surface is provided on one end of the film, but the front adhesion surface may be provided on both surfaces or both ends of the film, and each front adhesion surface may be formed so that the strong adhesion force or the weak adhesion force is mixed.

FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining a mixture application example of a film transferring process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, as shown in (a) of FIG. 13, a front adhesion surface 155 having the weak adhesion force that is smaller than the adhesion force between the first adhesion surface 151 and the substrate 160 may be provided on the front end of the first direction A1 of the first adhesion surface 151 of the film 150 adhered to the substrate 160. Also, a front adhesion surface 255 having the weak adhesion force that is smaller than the adhesion force between the second adhesion surface 152 and the roller 140 may be provided on the front end of the second direction A2 of the second adhesion surface 152 of the film 150 adhered to the roller 140. Thus, the film 150 adhered to the substrate 160 may be transferred to the roller 140 or the film 150 adhered to the roller 140 may be transferred to the substrate 160 along the transporting direction of the substrate 160 and the rotation direction (i.e., a first rotation direction R1 and a second rotation direction R2) of the roller 140.

Also, as shown in (b) of FIG. 13, a front adhesion surface 455 having the strong adhesion force that is larger than the adhesion force of the first adhesion surface 151 may be provided on the front end of the second direction A2 of the first adhesion surface 151 of the film 150 adhered to the substrate 160, and a front adhesion surface 355 having the strong adhesion force that is larger than the adhesion force of the second adhesion surface 152 may be provided on the front end of the first direction A1 of the second adhesion surface 152 of the film 150 adhered to the roller 140.
