Nidec Instruments, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nidec Corporation, has developed liquid crystal substrate transfer robots that can move their joints in a vacuum environment “as freely as in the air”.
In a process to manufacture liquid crystal, organic electroluminescent (EL), and other displays, mother glass substrates are constantly required to be made larger, and their processing speed faster, as their production cost must be reduced and screen sizes must be made larger at the same time.
In recent years, display manufacturers are required to handle large, 3m x 3m products because the larger glasses robots can transfer, the better transfer efficiency they can achieve. [Read more…] about Nidec develops vacuum-resistant liquid crystal substrate transfer robots
