Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of OLED display screen preparation, and in particular to a carrier stage regeneration method for cutting an OLED display screen. Background Art

[0002] During the preparation process, OLED panels need to go through processes such as film formation, vacuum evaporation, spin coating, inkjet printing, and packaging. After packaging is completed, the basic functions of the panel are complete, but the packaged panel still needs to be cut into the actual product size. The carrier platform used for cutting OLED display screens adsorbs the OLED screen on the carrier through the pores on the component, and then the screen is precisely cut. Since there is a large amount of photoresist on the screen, the photoresist will be adsorbed into the pores and grooves during the cutting process. After long-term use, the photoresist will clog the pores and grooves, resulting in a decrease in the adsorption capacity of the carrier. The cost of replacing a new carrier is high, so regenerating the carrier is a very economical option.

[0003] At present, the traditional regeneration method uses organic solvent immersion treatment. Since the carrier has tens of thousands of pores and many grooves, photoresist will remain in it during the regeneration process of the carrier. The pore patency rate is usually between 60% and 70%. After regeneration, the adsorption efficiency of the panel is low and the service life is about 4 months, which is far shorter than the service life of a new carrier. Therefore, a carrier regeneration method for OLED display cutting is proposed. Summary of the Invention

It solves the problem that the traditional regeneration method uses organic solvent immersion treatment. Since the carrier has tens of thousands of pores and many grooves, photoresist will remain in it during the regeneration process of the carrier, and the pore pass rate is usually between 60% and 70%. The adsorption efficiency of the panel after regeneration is low and the service life is about 4 months, which is far lower than the service life of a new carrier.

[0030] (3) Beneficial effects

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a stage regeneration method for cutting OLED display screens, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. This method for regenerating a carrier used for cutting OLED display screens first involves two acetone soakings to remove most of the photoresist in the carrier's pores and grooves. It then soaks the carrier in a high-concentration sodium hydroxide solution, which can remove the photoresist on the one hand and react with the carrier to cause the photoresist to fall off on the other. Therefore, the photoresist is fully removed with significant results. The degree of corrosion can be effectively controlled by controlling the alkaline etching time, and re-oxidation can ensure that dimensional changes are within an acceptable range. The carrier's pore pass rate regenerated by this technology reaches over 90%, and its service life reaches 6 months, which is close to that of a new carrier, effectively reducing enterprise costs.

[0033] 2. The carrier regeneration method for cutting OLED display screens oxidizes the carrier through the oxidation tank through the cooperation of the oxidation tank main body, four baffles, two lead plates, two groups of through holes and two groups of lead electrodes. The current in the oxidation tank is evenly distributed, and the thickness difference of the generated oxide film is extremely small and the quality is good. This changes the traditional oxidation method using an ordinary oxidation tank, which will cause large thickness differences in different areas of the generated oxide film due to uneven current, and the large thickness difference is also prone to cracks in the generated oxide film.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0038] A method for regenerating a carrier for cutting an OLED display screen comprises the following steps:

[0039] S1. Disassembly: disassemble and separate the carrier;

[0040] S2, soaking in the chemical solution: Place the carrier disassembled in step S1 into an acetone bath and soak for 12 hours, passing compressed air during the soaking process;

[0045] S7, pure water rinsing: rinsing the carrier in step S6 with pure water using a rinsing device;

[0046] S8, neutralization: at room temperature, soak the carrier in step S7 in 80g / L nitric acid for 8 minutes;

[0047] S9, pure water rinsing: rinse the carrier in step S8 again with pure water through the rinsing equipment;

[0048] S10, oxidation: placing the carrier from step S9 into an oxidation tank, using 150 g / L sulfuric acid as an electrolyte, oxidizing the carrier at a current density of 1.5 A and a temperature of 10° C., wherein the oxidation overflow time of the carrier is 2 h;

[0049] S11, ultrasonic cleaning: ultrasonically clean the carrier in step S10 with an ultrasonic cleaning device for 15 minutes;

[0050] S12, sealing: Under high temperature environment, the carrier in S11 is immersed in pure water with a pH value of 5.5 for 4 hours, and the high temperature is set to 98 ° C;

[0051] S13, high-pressure water washing: using a high-pressure water washing device to wash the front and back surfaces of the carrier in step S12 at a pressure of 150 bar;

[0052] S14, ultrasonic cleaning: again use the ultrasonic cleaning equipment to clean the carrier in step S13 with pure water, and the washing time is 15 minutes;

[0053] S15, assembly: reassemble the carrier in step S14. Before assembling, each component of the carrier needs to be air-dried, and then assemble after drying.

[0054] Example 2 is based on Example 1, as Figure 1-2 Show:

[0055] The oxidation tank in step S10 includes an oxidation tank main body 1, and two baffles 2 are integrally arranged in the two opposite side walls of the oxidation tank main body 1. The two baffles 2 on the same side form a placement groove with the oxidation tank main body 1, and lead plates 3 are placed inside the two placement grooves. A group of through holes 4 are opened on the other two side walls of the oxidation tank main body 1, and the two groups of through holes 4 are respectively arranged on one side of the two lead plates 3. Lead electrodes 5 are welded on the side walls of the two lead plates 3 through the two groups of through holes 4.

[0056] The oxidation tank body 1 and the two lead plates 3 are sealed and filled with green glue to ensure that the electrolyte cannot penetrate or leak.

[0057] The oxidation tank body 1 is made of PP material.

[0058] The number of through holes 4 in each group is 9.

[0059] To sum up, when using this technology, steps S1 to S15 are carried out in sequence. Most of the photoresist can be removed by double acetone soaking in steps S2 and S4. Then, the photoresist is soaked in 50g / L sodium hydroxide solution in step S6 for 3 minutes. On the one hand, the photoresist can be removed, and on the other hand, it reacts with the carrier to cause the photoresist to fall off. Therefore, the photoresist is fully removed and the effect is obvious. Combined with steps S8 and S10, the degree of corrosion can be effectively controlled by controlling the alkaline etching time. In addition, re-oxidation can ensure that the dimensional change is within an acceptable range. The pore pass rate of the carrier regenerated by this technology reaches more than 90%, and the service life reaches 6 months, which is close to the service life of a new carrier, effectively reducing enterprise costs.
