Abstract

Disclosed is a method for the detection and quantification of defects in transparent substrates and, more particularly, in glass sheets. The method comprises providing a transparent planar substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface. The surface topography of at least a portion of the top surface of the provide transparent planar substrate is measured to obtain a three dimensional top surface profile having a sub-nanometer level of precision. From the three dimensional surface profile measurement, the existence of one or more surface variations in the three dimensional surface profilehaving an amplitude greater than a predetermined tolerance can be identified and / or quantified.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to systems, methods and apparatus for detecting and quantifying defects in transparent substrates, especially glass sheets. Background technique [0002] Recently, a lot of attention has been focused on the detection of mura defects in transparent substrates such as glass plates, mainly because of the popularity and acceptance of liquid crystal display (LCD) televisions in the world market. Likewise, the industry faces the challenge of meeting the increasing demand for substrates while complying with stringent LCD mode specifications. Typically, defects such as streaks, cords, and surface discontinuities are detected using human inspectors and manual methods. However, with these existing detection techniques, the necessary precision and accuracy required by current application specifications cannot be achieved. [0003] For example, striations and stranding features in LCD glass are physical anomalies that can be observe...
