ABSTRACT:
A system for aligning and attaching together a plurality of thin film transistor tiles for constructing a flat panel display. A coverplate loading station where a coverplate that the tiles are to be attached to is arranged on a coverplate support. A coverplate bonding material dispensing station where a bonding material for bonding the tiles to the coverplate is applied to a surface of the coverplate. A tile placement station where the tiles are arranged on the coverplate. A tile aligning and securing station where the tiles are aligned relative to each other and the coverplate by the tile aligner and where the tiles are at least partially bonded to the coverplate. A tile assembly bonding material dispensing station where a bonding material is applied to a surface of the tiles opposite the side that the coverplate is bonded to. A backplate placement station where a backplate is arranged on the tiles. A backplate aligning and securing station where the backplate is aligned with the tiles and the coverplate and at least partially secured to the tiles A full bonding station where the tiles are fully bonded to the coverplate and the backplate.
