摘要:
A flat panel display is manufactured by mass production and easily stored and transported at low cost. Provided is a thin film semiconductor substrate which faces a plastic substrate 7 and is combined with the plastic substrate 7 so as to be a flat panel display. Single-board-like insulating substrates 4 each of which has a thin film semiconductor array 3 are continuously bonded onto a lengthy plastic film 2. An apparatus is also provided for manufacturing the thin film semiconductor substrate which faces the plastic substrate 7 and is combined with the plastic substrate 7 so as to be the flat panel display. The apparatus includes a bonding section 20 for continuously bonding, onto the lengthy plastic film 2, the single-board-like insulating substrates 4 each of which has a protection film 5 bonded thereon for protecting the thin film semiconductor array 3, a peeling section 30 for peeling the protection film 5 by heating or ultraviolet irradiation, a laminating section 40 which laminates a lengthy protection film 6 on the lengthy plastic film 2 so as to protect the thin film semiconductor array 3, and a take-up section 50 for taking up, in a roll-shape, the lengthy plastic film 2, which has the lengthy protection film 6 laminated thereon.
