Abstract:
[PROBLEMS] To provide a panel-manufacturing system for manufacturing a panel such as a plasma display panel in almost full automation. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A panel-manufacturing system comprises a closed-loop circulation path (1), a plurality of carts (2) moving along the circulation path, a substrate load part provided on each cart, an exhaust pipe port which is provided on each cart and to which an exhaust pipe is attached, an exhauster provided on each cart and connected to the exhaust pipe port, a heat treatment furnace (8) which is provided in the circulation path and in which sealing and exhaust are performed, a loader/unloader (9) provided to the circulation path, conveyors (10, 11) for carrying substrates and exhaust pipes to the loader/unloader, robots (12 to 15) provided to the loader/unloader and operated according to control information to perform panel-manufacturing work, a conveyor (16) for carrying panels from the loader/unloader, and control panels (17 to 20) for controlling the robots and the like.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for enhancing the performance of visual display units (52) which utilize plasma display panels (50) wherein the apparatus includes an electrical noise suppressing/chromaticity enhancing accessory device (10) for positioning in front of the viewing surface of a plasma display panel. The accessory device (10) includes a first and a second rigid substrate (30, 30') laminated together by a laminating layer (36), and an optically selective coating (22) providing high photopic transmittance, continuous high electrical conductivity for RFI shielding, and reflectivity specifically within the near-IR region. The laminated layer includes a multiple-dye coating for selectively absorbing IR energy emissions and selectively balancing the chromaticity of the plasma display panel.
