Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chip detection technology, and in particular to a Mini LED chip inspection method based on a three-dimensional light deflection effect. Background Art
[0002] During the Mini LED chip placement process, a chip placement machine is typically used to assemble the LED chips. During the assembly process, a motor drives a negative pressure suction nozzle to reciprocate between the wafer and the substrate, sucking the chip from the wafer and transporting it to the top of the substrate. Solder paste is pre-applied near the contacts on the substrate, and the chip is attached to the outside of the solder paste for fixation. During chip placement, since the chip is moved by the negative pressure suction nozzle, deviations (such as chip offset) are inevitable. This requires chip inspection. For example, Chinese patent application No. 202310587192.X, published on August 29, 2023, discloses a Mini or Micro LED chip inspection method and system, including collecting a first image set of a target display area of the chip under a first image drive signal; performing a first analysis on the first image set to obtain image quality information; performing a second analysis on the first image set to obtain a mura compensation value; and performing optical correction based on the mura compensation value. The first image drive signal includes an AOI drive signal for lighting inspection after die bonding; and the first image set includes brightness and chromaticity value information.
[0003] The above method obtains a chip module image set by taking photos, then outputs different abnormality information through AOI inspection. Then, it performs demura optical correction analysis and extracts brightness and colorimetry information using a brightness and colorimeter to extract and repair mura. However, this process requires processing a high density of abnormal information detected by AOI inspection, which reduces the inspection efficiency of mini chips and slows down the inspection speed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a Mini chip detection method based on the three-dimensional light deflection effect, which can detect the position of the Mini chip more quickly, is reliable and has high detection efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a Mini LED chip detection method based on the three-dimensional light deflection effect is provided. The detection is achieved through a laser detection device. The laser detection device includes a laser emitter, a light guide plate, and a laser receiver. The laser receiver is connected to a processor.
[0006] The following steps are involved:
[0007] S0. Preset the refraction angle of the laser when it passes through the normal position of the Mini LED chip;
[0008] S1. Arrange the positions of refraction plate group 1 and refraction plate group 2 on the light guide plate based on the position of the Mini LED chips on the light board, so that refraction plate group 1 and refraction plate group 2 are staggered along the length of the light guide plate. The light guide plate is provided with two or more laser channels, and each laser channel is provided with a refraction plate group 1 and a refraction plate group 2. The number of laser channels is the same as the number of Mini LED chips, and the spacing between refraction plate group 1 and refraction plate group 2 matches the Mini LED chips on the light board.
[0009] S2. Align the light guide plate with the light board using the alignment slots at both ends of the light guide plate so that the Mini LED chip on the light board fits within the gap between refractive plate group 1 and refractive plate group 2.
[0010] S3. Place the light guide plate and light board in a dark test environment. Then activate the laser transmitter to emit laser light. The laser light passes through the laser channel and the Mini LED chip in sequence, and finally the laser receiver receives the laser light emitted from the light guide plate.
[0011] S4. The processor analyzes the refraction angle of the laser light received by the laser receiver, and then determines whether the position of the Mini chip on the light board is offset.
[0012] The above setting sets the position of the refraction plate group 1 and the refraction plate group 2 on the light guide plate by the position of the Mini LED chip on the light board, so as to ensure that the distance between the refraction plate group 1 and the refraction plate group 2 matches the Mini LED chip on the light board; by setting alignment slots at both ends of the light guide plate, the light guide plate and the light board can be accurately aligned, so that the Mini LED chip on the light board can be accurately inserted into the distance between the refraction plate group 1 and the refraction plate group 2, so that the laser can be refracted through the Mini LED chip after entering the light guide plate; and the light guide plate and the light board are placed in a dark room and then the laser transmitter is started to emit laser, so as to avoid other light interfering with the laser refraction process. Finally, the laser receiver is connected to the processor, and the light emitted by the laser transmitter passes through a laser channel and then passes through the distance position between the refraction plate group 1 and the refraction plate group 2. If a Mini LED chip is set between the refraction plate group 1 and the refraction plate group 2, the Mini LED chip refracts the laser and then compares it with the light after the preset normal refraction angle to determine the Mini Whether the LED chip is offset, this test method is simple and only needs to determine whether the emitted light is abnormal, which makes the detection efficiency high.
[0013] Furthermore, step S4 includes:
[0014] S4.1 If the laser refraction angle received by the laser receiver matches the predetermined refraction angle of the laser when passing through the Mini LED chip at its normal position, it is determined that the position of the Mini LED chip on the light board has not shifted;
[0015] S4.2 If the laser refraction angle received by the laser receiver does not match the preset refraction angle when the laser passes through the normal position of the Mini LED chip, it is determined that the position of the Mini LED chip on the light board has shifted;
[0016] S4.3 If the laser light received by the laser receiver has no refraction angle, it is determined that there is no Mini LED chip on the lamp board.
[0017] The above methods can determine whether there is a chip according to different situations, and can also easily determine whether the chip is placed correctly.
[0018] Furthermore, the laser emitter is arranged on one side of the light guide plate, and the laser receiver is arranged on the other side of the light guide plate. The light guide plate includes an upper light shading layer, an upper light guide layer, a middle light shading layer, a lower light guide layer and a lower light shading layer arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The upper light guide layer is provided with more than two refractive plate groups 1 arranged at intervals, and the lower light guide layer is provided with more than two refractive plate groups 2 arranged at intervals.
[0019] The above setting is to set the laser emitter on one side of the light guide plate and the laser receiver on the other side of the light guide plate. In this way, after the light guide plate and the light board are placed in a dark room, the laser emitter can emit laser light through the light guide plate and finally be received by the laser receiver; by arranging the refractive plate group 1 at intervals in the upper light guide layer and the refractive plate group 2 at intervals in the lower light guide layer, the propagation path of the laser can be changed by the refractive plate group 1 and refracted through the Mini LED chip, so that the refracted laser can then change the propagation path through the refractive plate group 2 and be emitted from the lower light guide layer, and the upper shading layer, the middle shading layer and the lower shading layer respectively block the light on the upper light guide layer and the lower light guide layer except for the light on the laser channel, thereby preventing the laser on the laser channel from affecting the upper and lower light guides.
[0020] Furthermore, one end of the refractive plate group 1 is fixed on the upper light guide layer, and the other end of the refractive plate group 1 extends downward and sequentially penetrates the middle light shielding layer, the lower light guide layer and the lower light shielding layer to protrude.
[0021] The above arrangement can change the propagation path of the laser after entering the upper light guide layer through the refraction plate group 1, and the refraction plate group 1 can extend to one side of the MiniLED chip.
[0022] Furthermore, one end of the second refractive plate group is fixed on the lower light guide layer, and the other end of the second refractive plate group extends downward and passes through the lower light shielding layer to protrude.
[0023] The above arrangement can change the propagation path of the refracted laser light through the second refraction plate group, so that the laser light enters the lower light guide layer and is emitted from the lower light guide layer.
[0024] Furthermore, the refractive plate group includes a box body and at least two refractive lenses, the refractive lenses are arranged on both sides of the box body and opposite to the refractive lenses on both sides of the box body, an opening is provided on both sides of the box body and opposite to the refractive lenses, and the angle between the refractive lenses and the vertical direction of the box body is set to 45°~60°.
[0025] The above arrangement makes it easy for the laser to enter the upper light guide layer, then pass through the opening at one end of the box body and hit the refractive lens to change the propagation path of the laser, and then pass through the opening at the other end of the box body and hit the MiniLED chip.
[0026] Furthermore, the refractive plate group 2 includes a box body 2 and at least two refractive lenses 2, the refractive lenses 2 are arranged on both sides of the box body 2 and the refractive lenses 2 on both sides of the box body 2 are arranged opposite to each other, and openings 2 are provided on both sides of the box body 2 and the refractive lenses 2, and the angle between the refractive lenses 2 and the vertical direction of the box body 2 is set to 45°~60°.
[0027] The above arrangement facilitates the laser light refracted by the MiniLED chip to pass through the second opening at one end of the second box body and be incident on the second refractive lens to change the propagation path of the laser light, and then pass through the second opening at the other end of the second box body and be emitted from the lower light guide layer.
[0028] Furthermore, alignment slots are fixed at both ends of the lower light-shielding layer.
[0029] The above setting avoids deviation when the light guide plate is placed on the light board.
[0030] Furthermore, the wavelength of the laser emitted by the laser emitter is set to 720nm ~ 760nm.
[0031] The above setting enables the laser to be refracted after passing through the light guide plate and the MiniLED chip.
[0032] Furthermore, the laser channel includes a first light guide groove arranged on the upper light guide plate and a second light guide groove arranged on the lower light guide plate. One end of the first light guide groove is arranged corresponding to the laser emitter, and the other end of the second light guide groove is fixed with one end of the refraction plate group one, and one end of the second light guide groove is fixed with one end of the refraction plate group two, and the other end of the second light guide groove is arranged corresponding to the laser receiver.
[0033] The above arrangement can be achieved by providing light guide grooves on the upper and lower light guide plates so that the laser enters the channel of the light guide plate through the light guide grooves and then passes through the first and second refractive plate groups and then is emitted from the second light guide channel.

[0048] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 、 4 As shown in FIG5 , the laser passes through the light guide plate and is emitted from the refraction plate group 1, and is refracted after passing through the MiniLED chip 6 . The refracted laser then enters the refraction plate group 2 and is emitted from the light guide plate, and is finally received by the laser receiver 3 .
[0049] In this embodiment, the laser channel includes a first light guide groove 01 arranged on the upper light guide layer 22 and a second light guide groove 02 arranged on the lower light guide layer 24. One end of the first light guide groove 01 is arranged corresponding to the laser emitter 1, and the other end of the first light guide groove 01 is fixed with one end of the refractive plate group 1, and one end of the second light guide groove 02 is fixed with one end of the refractive plate group 2, and the other end of the second light guide groove 02 is arranged corresponding to the laser receiver 3.

In this embodiment, each row has three first light guide grooves 01 and three second light guide grooves 02.

[0050] In this embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the Mini LED chip detection method based on the three-dimensional light deflection effect also includes the following specific steps:

[0052] S1. Set the positions of refractive plate group 1 and refractive plate group 2 on the light guide plate according to the position of the Mini LED chip on the light board, so that the refractive plate group 1 and the refractive plate group 2 are staggered, and the spacing between the refractive plate group 1 and the refractive plate group 2 matches the Mini LED chip on the light board;
[0053] S2. Use the alignment slots at both ends of the light guide plate to precisely align the light guide plate with the light board, ensuring that the MiniLED chip on the light board fits within the gap between refractive plate group 1 and refractive plate group 2.
[0054] S3.

[0059] In this embodiment, the processor analyzes the refraction angle received by the laser, which is a prior art and will not be repeated here. It can be determined by the angle at which the received light deviates from the center. Then, in the process of confirming whether it matches, the processor can use the refraction angle when passing through the normal position of the Mini LED chip 6 ± the preset angle value, such as 2 degrees. If the obtained laser refraction angle is within this range, it is a match, otherwise it is a mismatch setting.
