Abstract

A device for fabricating a flexible film is provided. The device includes a serving unit providing an insulation film; a main processing unit including at least one of a dust removing unit, an etching unit, a neutralizing unit, a coupling unit, a catalyst bonding unit, a plating unit, and a drying unit; an assistant power unit controlling a tension of the insulation film; a top transporter disposed at an upper part of the main processing unit; and a bottom transporter disposed at a lower part of the main processing unit, wherein the top transporter includes a squeezing unit pressing a material on the insulation film. The device can improve the quality of a flexible film by pressing the flexible film using the squeezing unit.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A device of fabricating a flexible film, the device comprising:
 a serving unit providing an insulation film;   a main processing unit including at least one of a dust removing unit, an etching unit, a neutralizing unit, a coupling unit, a catalyst bonding unit, a plating unit, and a drying unit;   an assistant power unit controlling a tension of the insulation film;   a top transporter arranged on the upper part of the main processing unit; and   a bottom transporter arranged on the lower part of the main processing unit,   wherein the top transporter comprises a squeezing unit pressing a material on the insulation film.   
   
   
       2 . The device of fabricating a flexible film of  claim 1 , wherein the main processing unit comprises:
 the dust removing unit eliminating dust on the insulation film;   the etching unit modifying the insulation film;   the neutralizing unit eliminating a metal ion on the insulation film;   the coupling unit applying an coupling agent to the insulation film;   the catalyst bonding unit applying a catalyst to the insulation film;   the plating unit forming a thin metal layer on the insulation film; and   the drying unit drying the insulation film.   
   
   
       3 . The device of fabricating a flexible film of  claim 2 , wherein the plating unit comprises:
 a first plating unit forming a first metal layer on the insulation film; and   a second plating unit forming a second metal layer on the first metal layer.   
   
   
       4 . The device of fabricating a flexible film of  claim 3 , wherein the first plating unit electroless-plates the first metal layer on the insulation film. 
   
   
       5 . The device of fabricating a flexible film of  claim 3 , wherein the second plating unit electroplates the second metal layer on the first metal layer. 
   
   
       6 . The device of fabricating flexible film of  claim 1 , wherein the top transporter comprises:
 a drawing roller pulling the insulation film passed through the bottom transporting unit;   a discharging roller ejecting the insulation film pulled by the drawing roller and disposed adjacent to the squeezing unit; and   a center transporter transferring the insulation film and arranged between the drawing roller and the discharging roller.   
   
   
       7 . The device of fabricating a flexible film of  claim 6 , wherein the squeezing unit comprises a squeezing roller adjacent to the drawing roller. 
   
   
       8 . The device of fabricating a flexible film of  claim 4 , wherein the squeezing roller is at least one of a rubber and a foaming resin. 
   
   
       9 . The device of fabricating a flexible film of  claim 1 , wherein the assistant power unit comprises:
 a roller having grooves thereon;   a motor linked with the roller by a timing belt;   a tension controlling unit arranged on a side of the insulation film pulled by the top transporter;   a sensor unit arranged on a lateral side of the tension controlling unit and sensing a tension of the insulation film pulled by the top transporter,   wherein the assistant power unit controls revolutions per minute according to the tension sensed by the sensor unit.   
   
   
       10 . The device of fabricating a flexible film of  claim 9 , wherein the tension controlling unit comprises:
 a tension controlling roller having grooves thereon;   a supporting bar holding the tension controlling roller; and   a fixed bar linked to the supporting bar by spring,   wherein the tension controlling roller moves back and forth by the spring according to the tension sensed by the sensor unit.   
   
   
       11 . The device of fabricating a flexible film of  claim 9 , wherein the sensor unit comprises:
 a dog arranged on a side of the tension controlling unit; and   a sensor fixing unit arranged on the side, and comprising at least one sensor,   wherein the sensor detects a motion of the dog according to the tension of the insulation film.
