ABSTRACT:
A bonding apparatus, suitable for accurately bonding large substrates for a liquid crystal display, includes Z-axis drive mechanisms, and upper and lower chambers. The Z-axis drive mechanisms for moving an upper frame vertically are disposed at four corners of a mount. The upper chamber is supported by the upper frame and has an upper table inside. The lower chamber has a lower table inside and is supported on the mount. The upper and lower chambers are united through a seal ring to define a vacuum chamber. Moving the upper frame moves the upper chamber vertically to open or close the vacuum chamber. The lower table is supported via a free joint stage between the plurality of support legs and the table, and is moved horizontally by a side thrust mechanism disposed outside of the vacuum chamber.
