Display module terminal cleansing device and cleansing method

Abstract

A display module terminal cleansing device includes a wiper assembly and a gas blower assembly. The gas blower assembly is first operated to blow away particle foreign substances located on a terminal area to be cleansed And, then, the wiper assembly is operated to wipe off foreign substances remaining on the terminal area. The display module terminal cleansing device may achieve an effect of cleansing where water droplet angle on the surface of the cleansed terminal area is less than 15° and also prevents a potential issue of scratching and damaging the display module during the process of cleansing. Also disclosed is a display module terminal cleansing method.
