Abstract

A panel transfer tray according to an embodiment includes an accommodation part which accommodates a target panel, a protrusion protruding upward direction from an upper edge of the accommodation part, and a first movement prevention member disposed at one side of the accommodation part and disposed adjacent to the protrusion, and the first movement prevention member has a stair shape of which a planar area gradually decreases along the upward direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A panel transfer tray comprising:
an accommodation part which accommodates a target panel;
a protrusion protruding an upward direction from an upper edge of the accommodation part;
a first movement prevention member disposed at a first corner of the accommodation part and disposed adjacent to the protrusion; and
a second movement prevention member disposed at a second corner spaced apart from the first corner at which the first movement prevention member is disposed,
wherein the first movement prevention member has a stair shape of which a planar area gradually decreases along the upward direction in a plan view, and
the second movement prevention member has a shape that alternately extends along a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction in the plan view, and the first direction and the second direction cross the upward direction.

2. The panel transfer tray of claim 1 , wherein the accommodation part comprises an accommodation surface parallel to a plane defined by the first direction and the second direction.

3. The panel transfer tray of claim 2 , wherein the protrusion comprises:
a first protrusion extending along the first direction; and
a second protrusion extending along the second direction,
wherein the first movement prevention member is disposed adjacent to a connection point at which the first protrusion and the second protrusion are connected to each other.

4. The panel transfer tray of claim 1 , wherein the second movement prevention member comprises:
a first sub movement prevention member spaced apart from the first movement prevention member along the first direction; and
a second sub movement prevention member spaced apart from the first movement prevention member along the second direction.

5. The panel transfer tray of claim 4 , further comprising: a third movement prevention member disposed to be spaced apart from the first movement prevention member along the first direction and the second direction, spaced apart from the first sub movement prevention member along the second direction, and spaced apart from the second sub movement prevention member along the first direction.

6. The panel transfer tray of claim 5 , wherein the third movement prevention member has an inverted stair shape of which a planar area gradually increases along the upward direction.

7. The panel transfer tray of claim 2 , wherein the first movement prevention member comprises a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer, which are sequentially laminated along the upward direction,
wherein the second layer has a planar area less than a planar area of the first layer, and
the third layer has a planar area less than the planar area of the second layer.

8. The panel transfer tray of claim 7 , wherein each of the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer of the first movement prevention member defines a fixing part recessed in the first direction and the second direction in the plan view to fix the target panel.

9. The panel transfer tray of claim 2 , further comprising a stage which is disposed at a center of the accommodation part and on which the accommodation surface is defined so that the target panel is seated.
