Soldering driving elements in LCD panels
First Claim
1. An apparatus for soldering a driving element of a display panel, comprising:
- a holding unit for holding the display panel;
a rotating unit supporting the panel holding unit at an initial radial and angular position relative to a center of rotation of the rotating unit, and operable to rotate the holding unit in a horizontal plane about the center of rotation to selected angular positions relative to the initial angular position; and
,a soldering unit disposed above the rotating unit at the initial radial position and at a first angular position relative to the initial angular position of the panel holding unit, and operable to solder the driving element of the display panel held by the panel holding unit when the panel holding unit is rotated to the first angular position by the rotating unit.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for soldering an LED driving element to an LCD panel includes a panel holding unit, a rotating unit and a soldering unit. The panel holding unit holds the display panel. The rotating unit supports the panel holding unit at initial radial and angular positions relative to a center of rotation of the rotating unit and rotates the holding unit in a horizontal plane about the center of rotation to selected angular positions relative thereto. The soldering unit is disposed above the rotating unit at the initial radial position and at a first angular position relative to initial angular position of the holding unit, and is operable to solder the driving element of the display panel held by the panel holding unit when the rotating unit rotates the panel holding unit to the first angular position. The apparatus and method provide improved display panel productivity.
