Method and apparatus for removing film and method for manufacturing display panel

摘要

A method and an apparatus for removing a film from a display panel are provided that can remove even a film with relatively high strength that is stuck on a display panel without relying on manual work and also can reduce the operating cost. The apparatus that removes a film (8) stuck on a display panel (2) by injecting a liquid (9) includes a liquid injector (1) and a carrier (6). The liquid injector (1) injects the liquid (9) in the direction that tilts with respect to a normal to the surface of the display panel (2) on which the film (8) is stuck. The carrier (6) transports the display panel (2). The liquid injector (1) starts the injection of the liquid (9) at the boundary (12) between one end of the film (8) and the display panel (2) on the side of the transport direction. The liquid (9) is injected while transporting the display panel (2) so that the film (8) is removed successively from one end to the other end in the opposite direction to the transport direction.
