1. An apparatus for cutting a flat display panel, comprising:
- a stage having a continuous seamless surface along the entire length of the stage, the flat display panel being disposed on the stage, the continuous seamless surface of the stage completely covering the flat display panel, the flat display panel having a scrap portion, a non-scrap portion, and a scribing line formed between the scrap portion and the non-scrap portion;
a scrap breaker capable of gripping and lifting the scrap portion of the flat display panel that is to be separated from the flat display panel;
a chip blocking unit disposed over the non-scrap portion of the flat display panel, the chip blocking unit contacting the non-scrap portion of the flat display panel while the scrap portion is being separated from the flat display panel; and
a connection member to connect the chip blocking unit to the scrap breaker, each of the scrap breaker and the chip blocking unit being capable of performing a descending operation to contact the flat display panel, the chip blocking unit moving by a first stroke distance with respect to the connection member while descending to contact the flat display panel, the scrap breaker moving by a second stroke distance with respect to the connection member while descending to contact the flat display panel, the first stroke distance is larger than the second stroke distance.

Abstract
An apparatus for cutting a flat display panel prevents a light emitting surface of a flat display panel from being damaged due to a pit or a scratch. The apparatus for cutting a flat display panel includes a stage supporting a rear substrate of the flat display panel, a chip blocking unit disposed to correspond to a non-scrap portion of the flat display panel, and a scrap breaker to grip a scrap portion of the flat display panel that is to be separated from the flat display panel. A scribing line is formed between the scrap portion and a non-scrap portion of the flat display panel.
