Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a roll-to-roll apparatus may include an unwinding unit, a winding unit, at least one supporting unit, at least one breakage sensor, and at least one holding unit. The at least one supporting unit is disposed between the unwinding unit and the winding unit, and supports the flexible substrate to move from the unwinding unit to the winding unit. The at least one breakage sensor may sense whether the flexible substrate is broken or not. The at least one holding unit may grip the flexible substrate while a breakage of the flexible substrate is sensed by the at least one breakage sensor.
