Abstract

Non-contact transportation of a large-sized glass plate using air cushion for the sputtering system of liquid crystal display panel was considered. The gas is injected through multiple small holes to maintain the force for levitating glass plate. Complex flow field and resulting pressure distribution on the glass surface was numerically studied to design the air injection pad. The exhaust hole size was varied to obtain evenly distributed pressure distribution at fixed diameter of the injection hole. Considering the force for levitating glass plate, the diameter of the exhaust hole of 30 to 40 times of the gas injection hole was recommended.
