The development of efficient and precise handling of an liquid crystal display (LCD) panel has been addressed as the sizes of LCD panels become much larger than ever. The majority part of LCD panel handling is conducted by industrial robots for the cost reduction and the quality control. A challenging problem, vibration of the panel, can be found when the robots are utilized for handling LCD panels. The vibration causes the poor product precision and the low productivity. The characteristics of LCD panels, which are the high size-to thickness ratio, the high elasticity, and the high brittleness, are the major sources of the vibration This paper introduces the vibration attenuation techniques to overcome the difficulties encountered in the LCD production using the industrial robots.
