Loader and bonding apparatus for fabricating a liquid crystal display
device, and a loading method thereof are disclosed, the method for
loading a substrate by using a loader having an arm with a plurality of
robot fingers, and a plurality of adsorption pads on each of the robot
fingers at regular intervals for adsorbing a substrate, and a bonding
apparatus having a plurality of adsorption pins mounted on the upper
stage movable in up/down direction for adsorption of the substrate being
loaded, including the steps of the loader adsorbing, and holding the
substrate at a back side thereof, and inverting the substrate, by using
the adsorption pads, positioning the inverted substrate under the upper
stage of the bonding apparatus, moving down the adsorption pins on the
upper stage, and adsorbing the substrate at the back side thereof through
the adsorption pins, removing adsorption force of the adsorption pads,
and the loader being moved out of the bonding apparatus, and moving up
the adsorption pins, and securing the substrate to the upper stage,
whereby permitting inversion of the substrate without using an inverting
device, and to prevent sagging of a large sized substrate to enable easy
loading of the substrate on the bonding apparatus.
