摘要

Transfer of liquid crystal panels to next processes is carried out with the panels placed on transfer arms (6) and held by suction pads (12). A small suction force can be sufficient, and a suction irregularity is prevented. Transfer arms are arranged at the lower side of liquid crystal panels, thus not obstructing the liquid crystal panels. In arranging the liquid crystal panels to an image pickup device (111), a panel hold device (112) is controlled to drive to position panel marks to a bonding height position with negating a deflection amount of the liquid crystal panels, and furthermore a component hold device is controlled to drive to position component marks to the bonding height position and to mount electronic components to the liquid crystal panels at the bonding height position. Thus, an accuracy for mounting electronic components can be improved in comparison with the conventional art.
