CURVED DISPLAY MANUFACTURING DEVICE AND CURVED DISPLAY MANUFACTURING METHOD
First Claim
1. A curved display manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a curved display by bending a display panel into a curved shape, comprising:
- a curved surface suction mold comprising a panel seat surface having a curved shape corresponding to a curved shape of the curved display to be formed, and air sucking holes formed through the panel seat surface, to fix the display panel while bending the display panel by suction of air;
an air sucking unit for sucking air through the air sucking holes;
a main frame for supporting the curved surface suction mold, to space the curved surface suction mold from a bottom of the main frame; and
a pressing roller unit for pressing a curvature maintaining member to maintain the display panel in a bent state while sliding along a curved surface of the display panel under a condition that the curvature maintaining member overlaps with the display panel, for pressed attachment of the curvature maintaining member to the display panel.

13. A curved display manufacturing method for manufacturing a curved display by bending, into a curved shape, a pre-fabricated flat display panel including first and second substrates facing each other, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a polarization film, comprising:
-
shaving the first and second substrates to a predetermined thickness; seating the shaved display panel on a curved surface suction mold having a shape corresponding to a curved shape of a curved surface to be formed, and bending the display panel into the curved shape by suction of air; attaching, to the display panel, the curvature maintaining member to maintain a shape of the display panel bent into the curved shape by pressing the curvature maintaining member by a pressing roller; and separating the display panel carrying the curvature maintaining member from the curved surface suction mold. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
