US Patent 7963217 Apparatus and method for producing display panel

An apparatus for manufacturing a display panel includes a pair of pressing jigs respectively having pressing surfaces that overlap each other. A pair of film substrates, each having a display region defined thereon, are molded into a curved shape by holding the pair of film substrates between the respective pressing surfaces of the pair of pressing jigs so that the respective display regions overlap each other with a sealant, which is positioned around the display regions between the pair of film substrates, being interposed therebetween, and at least one pressing jig of the pair of pressing jigs has multiple pressing surfaces, which have different radii of curvature from each other, and are switchable with each other.
