In addition, the following embodiments can be properly integrated to complete another embodiment.

[0104] In order to make the present disclosure fully understood, the following description provides detailed steps and structures.

[0107] refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of an optical signal processing device 10 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The optical signal processing device 10 is used to measure a plurality of optical signals SP emitted by a plurality of micro light emitting diodes MLED within a time interval.

[0108] Specifically, the optical signal processing device 10 includes a plurality of optical signal test elements 110 and an optical signal sensing device 120. Each optical signal test element 110 is used to receive an optical signal SP emitted by a corresponding micro-light emitting diode MLED and transmit the optical signal SP to the optical signal sensing device 120. In some embodiments, the optical signal test element 110 and the micro-light emitting diode MLED are in one-to-one correspondence. In other words, each optical signal test element 110 receives and transmits an optical signal emitted by a corresponding micro-light emitting diode MLED, and the micro-light emitting diode MLED corresponding to each optical signal test element 110 is not repeated.

[0109] Furthermore, the optical signal sensing device 120 is coupled to the optical signal testing elements 110 to sense the optical signals SP transmitted by the optical signal testing elements 110 and generate a plurality of sensing signals SS according to the optical signals SP. In this way, the sensing signals SS can be analyzed by a back-end analysis device (not shown) to obtain relevant test results.

[0110] In some embodiments, the micro LEDs MLED are wafer-scale micro LEDs, which are disposed on a wafer W. In other words, the optical signal processing device 10 is used to directly measure the optical signals of the micro LEDs MLED on the wafer W. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, for example, the micro LEDs MLED may be other types of components that generate optical signals.

[0111] In some other embodiments, the micro-LEDs MLED are RGB LEDs. In this embodiment, each optical signal testing element 110 is used to receive RGB optical signals SP emitted by a plurality of micro-LEDs MLEDs in a time interval. The optical signal SP may include a single color optical signal in RGB, such as a red optical signal, a green optical signal, or a blue optical signal.

[0112] refer to Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of an optical signal processing device 20 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The optical signal processing device 20 is used to measure a plurality of optical signals SP emitted by a plurality of micro light emitting diodes MLED within a time interval.

[0113] Specifically, the optical signal processing device 20 includes a plurality of optical signal testing elements 210, an optical signal sensing device 220, a positioning device 230, and a plurality of probes 240. Each probe 240 is used to transmit a control signal SC to a corresponding micro-LED MLED, so that the micro-LED MLED emits an optical signal SP according to the control signal SC. Furthermore, the probes 240 are used to contact the micro-LEDs MLED and transmit the control signals SC to activate the micro-LEDs MLED, so that the micro-LEDs MLED emit optical signals SP.

[0114] In some embodiments, the probes 240 are disposed on a probe card 245, and the positions of the probes 240 are adjusted by the probe card 245 so that each probe 240 can contact the corresponding micro light emitting diode MLED. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and various mechanisms or assemblies that can be provided with multiple probes 240 are within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0115] In some embodiments, each optical signal test element 210 includes a light guide unit for receiving an optical signal SP emitted by a corresponding micro light emitting diode MLED and transmitting the optical signal SP to the optical signal sensing device 220. In some embodiments, each light guide unit may be an optical fiber, and the optical signal test elements 210 may be arranged in a fiber array block (FAB) structure. In some embodiments, the optical signal processing device 20 includes at least 48, 240, 480, or 960 optical signal test elements 210.

[0116] In some embodiments, the micro-LEDs MLED are disposed on a wafer W and are wafer-level micro-LEDs. In other words, the optical signal processing device 20 is used to directly measure the optical signals of the micro-LEDs MLEDs on the wafer W. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, for example, the micro-LEDs MLEDs are other types of components that can generate optical signals, and the optical signal processing device 20 is used to measure non-wafer-level micro-LEDs MLEDs.

[0117] In other embodiments, the micro-LEDs MLED are RGB light emitting diodes. In this embodiment, each optical signal testing element 210 is used to receive RGB optical signals SP emitted by a plurality of micro-LEDs MLED within a time interval. The optical signal SP may include a single color optical signal in RGB, such as a red optical signal, a green optical signal, or a blue optical signal.

[0118] It should be noted that for micro-LEDs (MLEDs), the existing technology can use an integrating sphere to receive the light emitted by them and perform subsequent measurements. However, since the volume of the integrating sphere is very large compared to the micro-LEDs, it is difficult to arrange multiple integrating spheres for measurement. In addition, the integrating sphere has its limitations on the degree of light collection during measurement. It is not possible to completely receive the light signal, and it is not necessarily possible to completely transmit the received light signal to the measuring instrument. There will inevitably be losses during transmission, which will inevitably cause errors. What's more, the number of micro-LEDs that can be covered by the integrating sphere at a time is extremely limited (for example: 4, 8, 16, 32 micro-LEDs), and only a single micro-LED within the range can be lit at the same time to measure a single micro-LED. Therefore, the measurement of a large number of micro-LEDs is very time-consuming.

[0119] Accordingly, compared to the above-mentioned prior art, the optical signal test element 210 used in the present disclosure is small in size. Therefore, the optical signal test element 210 will not be affected by insufficient space and can be configured one-to-one corresponding to the arrangement of micro-LEDs to greatly increase the number of micro-LEDs that can be covered by a single measurement. In addition, since the optical signal test element 210 and the micro-LEDs are configured one-to-one, multiple micro-LEDs can be lit up at the same time for measurement, that is, the optical signal test element 210 transmits multiple optical signals SP emitted by multiple micro-LEDs MLEDs at the same time to greatly reduce the measurement time. Furthermore, the optical signal test element 210 uses optical fiber, so the received optical signal SP can be transmitted to the optical signal sensing device 220 almost losslessly to improve the measurement quality and reduce the measurement error.

[0120] For example, assuming that the integrating sphere of the prior art covers 8 micro-LEDs MLED, the lighting test time of a single micro-LED MLED is n seconds, and the time for the integrating sphere to move once is m seconds, then the time for testing 24,000 micro-LEDs is approximately 24,000*n+(24,000 / 8)*m seconds, that is, 24,000*n+3,000*m seconds. However, using the present invention, assuming that the number of optical signal test elements 210 of the optical signal processing device 20 is 240, the lighting test time of a single micro-LED MLED is n seconds, and the time for the optical signal test element 210 to move once as a whole is m seconds, the time for measuring the same number of 24,000 micro-LEDs MLED is approximately (24,000 / 240)*n+(24,000 / 240)*m seconds, that is, 100*n+100*m seconds. Obviously, the present disclosure effectively and significantly reduces the test time.

[0121] In some embodiments, a micro LED MLED includes a pixel of three primary color LEDs and is disposed on a display panel (not shown). In other words, the optical signal processing device 20 is used to measure the optical signal of the pixel on the display panel.

[0122] Furthermore, the optical signal sensing device 220 is coupled to the optical signal testing elements 210 to sense the optical signals SP transmitted by the optical signal testing elements 110 and generate a plurality of sensing signals SS according to the optical signals SP. In some embodiments, the optical signal sensing device 220 includes a camera to capture an image of the optical signals SP on an imaging plane in the camera and then generate the sensing signals SS according to the image. In some embodiments, the optical signal sensing device 220 includes a CMOS image sensor (CIS) to sense the optical signals SP using photodiodes on the CIS and generate the sensing signals SS accordingly.

[0123] In some embodiments, the sensing signals SS are transmitted to an analysis instrument (not shown), and one sensing signal SS represents the performance of one micro-LED MLED. For example, the analysis instrument can analyze the sensing signal SS to obtain the brightness, color difference, etc. of the micro-LED MLED. After the brightness and / or color difference of all the micro-LEDs MLED are obtained, all the micro-LEDs MLED can be classified (binning) according to the brightness and / or color difference, so that the micro-LEDs MLED with similar brightness and / or color difference are classified into the same category.

[0124] In some embodiments, the positioning device 230 is used to align the probes 240 and the light guide units of the optical signal testing elements 210 with two different surfaces of the micro light emitting diodes MLED. Figure 2 As shown, the micro-LED MLED contacts the probe 240 from the first surface S1 to receive the control signal SC, and sends the optical signal SP from the second surface S2 to the light guide unit of the optical signal test element 210, wherein the first surface S1 is opposite to the second surface S2. In some embodiments, the positioning device 230 is used to align the control probes 240 (or the probe card 245) and the light guide units of the optical signal test elements 210 with the micro-LEDs MLED. For example, the positioning device 230 controls the probes 240 to align and contact the micro-LEDs MLED, or controls the light guide units of the optical signal test elements 210 to align the micro-LEDs MLED.

[0125] refer to Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of an optical signal processing device 30 of some embodiments of the present disclosure. The optical signal processing device 30 is used to measure the optical signals SP emitted by a plurality of micro light emitting diodes MLED. The optical signal processing device 30 includes a plurality of optical signal testing elements 310, an optical signal sensing device 320 and a positioning device 330.

[0126] In some embodiments, the positioning device 330 is used to align the probes 312 and the light guide units 311 with the micro light emitting diodes MLED. Figure 3 As shown, the positioning device 330 aligns the probe 312 and the light guiding unit 311 with the first surface S1 of the micro LED MLED. Compared with the optical signal processing device 20, in the optical signal processing device 30, the probe 312 and the light guiding unit 311 are both located on the same side of the micro LED MLED during measurement.

[0127] Each optical signal test element 310 includes a light guide unit 311 and a probe 312, and corresponds to a micro light emitting diode MLED. The light guide unit 311 and the probe 312 are located on the same side surface of the micro light emitting diode MLED. The probe 312 is used to contact the micro light emitting diode MLED to transmit a control signal SC to the micro light emitting diode MLED, so that the micro light emitting diode MLED emits an optical signal SP. The light guide unit 311 is used to receive the optical signal SP emitted by the micro light emitting diode MLED and transmit the optical signal SP to the optical signal sensing device 320. In some embodiments, the light guide unit 311 includes an optical fiber. In some embodiments, the optical signal processing device 30 includes at least 48, 240, 480 or 960 optical signal test elements 310.

[0128] In some embodiments, the micro-LEDs MLED are light-emitting diodes and are disposed on a wafer W. In some embodiments, the micro-LEDs MLED are wafer-level micro-LEDs. In other words, the optical signal processing device 30 is used to directly measure the optical signals of the micro-LEDs on the wafer W. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the micro-LEDs MLED are other types of components that can generate optical signals, and the optical signal processing device 30 is used to measure non-wafer-level micro-LEDs MLED.

[0129] In some other embodiments, the micro-LEDs MLED are RGB LEDs. In this embodiment, each optical signal testing element 310 is used to receive RGB optical signals SP emitted by a plurality of micro-LEDs MLEDs in a time interval. The optical signal SP may include a single color optical signal in RGB, such as a red optical signal, a green optical signal, or a blue optical signal.

[0130] In some embodiments, a micro LED MLED includes a pixel of three primary color LEDs and is disposed on a display panel (not shown). In other words, the optical signal processing device 30 is used to measure the optical signal of the pixel on the display panel.

[0131] In some embodiments, the optical signal sensing device 320 is coupled to the optical signal test elements 310 to sense the optical signals SP transmitted by the optical signal test elements 310 and generate a plurality of sensing signals SS according to the optical signals SP. In some embodiments, the optical signal sensing device 320 includes a camera to capture an image of the optical signals SP on an imaging plane in the camera and then generate the sensing signals SS according to the image. In some embodiments, the optical signal sensing device 320 includes a CIS to sense the optical signals SP using a photodiode on the CIS and generate the sensing signals SS accordingly.

[0132] In some embodiments, the sensing signals SS are transmitted to an analysis instrument (not shown), and one sensing signal SS represents the performance of one micro-LED MLED. For example, the analysis instrument can analyze the sensing signal SS to obtain the brightness, color difference, etc. of the micro-LED MLED. After the brightness and / or color difference of all micro-LEDs MLED are obtained, all micro-LEDs MLED can be classified according to the brightness and / or color difference, so that micro-LEDs MLED with similar brightness and / or color difference are classified into the same category.

[0133] refer to Figure 4A, which is a schematic diagram of the structure and operation of the light guide unit of the optical signal test element 210 of some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, one end of the light guide unit of the optical signal test element 210 for receiving the optical signal SP includes a plane 210A. When the light guide unit of the optical signal test element 210 receives the optical signal SP, in order to make the plane 210A cover the entire divergence range of the optical signal SP as much as possible, the position of the light guide unit of the optical signal test element 210 and the distance D1 of the micro-LED MLED must be adjusted according to the divergence angle θ1 of the micro-LED MLED and the axial radius R1 of the light guide unit of the optical signal test element 210, wherein the distance D1 is adjusted by the positioning device 230. In some embodiments, the optical signal receiving range of the light guide unit can completely cover (or "only cover") the divergence range of the optical signal SP of the corresponding micro-LED MLED, and does not include the divergence range of the optical signal SP of the adjacent micro-LED MLED. In such a case, whether the adjacent micro-LED MLED emits an optical signal SP will not affect the optical signal SP received by the light guide unit. In other embodiments, the light signal receiving range of the light guiding unit only partially covers the divergence range of the light signal SP of the corresponding micro-light emitting diode MLED, so the divergence range of the light signal SP of the micro-light emitting diode MLED may be partially located in the light signal receiving range of other light guiding units. In this case, in order to prevent the light signal received by the light signal receiving range of the light guiding unit from being interfered by other signals, adjacent or close micro-light emitting diodes MLED can be lit separately in different time intervals, so that each time the light guiding unit receives the light signal SP, it can be as little interfered by the light signal SP emitted by the adjacent or close micro-light emitting diodes MLED as possible, thereby reducing distortion. In some embodiments, the distance D1 is the shortest distance between the second surface S2 of the light measuring element DUT and the plane 210A. In some embodiments, the second surface S2 of the light measuring element DUT and the plane 210A are parallel to each other. In other embodiments, the second surface S2 of the light measuring element DUT and the plane 210A are not parallel to each other.

[0136] In some embodiments, in order to make the plane 210A cover the entire divergence range of the optical signal SP, when the divergence angle θ1 increases, the distance D1 needs to be shortened, and when the divergence angle θ1 decreases, the distance D1 may increase. In other words, when the divergence angle θ1 increases, the distance D1 decreases.

[0151] refer to FIG. 6A to FIG. 6C , which is a schematic diagram of the operation of the fiber array block FAB and the wafer W in some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the number of optical signal test elements 210 included in the fiber array block FAB is less than the number of micro-LEDs MLEDs in the micro-LED array on the wafer W. It should be noted that for the sake of simplicity and convenience in further understanding of the present invention, FIG. 6A to FIG. 6C The number and size of the optical signal test elements 210 and the micro-LEDs MLEDs shown are for illustration only. In the illustrated embodiment, the number of optical fibers in the optical fiber array block FAB and the number of MLEDs corresponding thereto are 16 as an example, but these are not actual numbers. In some embodiments, a wafer W may include more micro-LEDs MLEDs, and the optical fiber array block FAB may include different numbers of optical signal test elements 210. For example, the optical signal processing device 20 includes at least 48, 240, 480 or 960 optical signal test elements 210, and correspondingly, the micro-LEDs MLEDs include at least 48, 240, 480 or 960.

[0152] Please refer to Fig. 6A As shown, the fiber array block FAB includes 16 optical signal test elements 210, and the micro-LED array is divided into a plurality of test blocks B1, B2, B3 and B4 (the ranges divided by the dashed boxes in the figure). The fiber array block FAB of the optical signal processing device tests a single test block at a time, in other words, a test block is selected for testing at a time. Fig. 6A In the example of , the test block B1 is selected for testing. Therefore, in one alignment performed by the positioning device 230 (eg Fig. 6A Aligned position), the fiber array block FAB is aligned with the 16 micro light emitting diodes MLED contained in the test block B1.

[0153] Please refer to Figure 6B As shown, the fiber array block FAB includes 16 optical signal test elements 210. Figure 6B In the example of FIG. 1 , the test block B4 is selected for testing, and in one alignment performed by the positioning device 230 (eg Figure 6BThe number of micro light-emitting diodes MLED included in the fiber array block FAB alignment test block B4 may be less than 16.

[0154] Please refer to Figure 6C As shown, the fiber array block FAB includes 16 optical signal test elements 210.

The light source of the LED has a light-emitting angle, that is, the scattering angle of the LED light. In particular, the micro-LEDs MLEDs have smaller grains and are arranged more densely. When adjacent micro-LEDs MLEDs emit light at the same time, light interference will occur between them, affecting the optical signal test element 210 receiving the optical signal of a single micro-LED MLED. In order to reduce the situation of light interference, the micro-LEDs MLEDs of the test block B1 can be divided into two or more groups at intervals, and different groups of micro-LEDs MLEDs light up at different time intervals, and the optical signal test element 210 is also divided into two or more groups corresponding to the micro-LEDs MLEDs of the test block B1.

[0155] like Figure 6C The optical signal test elements 210 are divided into two groups for example, the circular dotted line represents the first group, and the square dotted line represents the second group. The first group of optical signal test elements 210 correspond to the first group of micro-LEDs MLED, and the second group of optical signal test elements 210 correspond to the second group of micro-LEDs MLED. The first group of micro-LEDs MLED and the second group of micro-LEDs MLED are staggered (for example Figure 6C As shown, the first group of micro-LEDs MLED are arranged with a unit interval up and down, left and right, and the second group of micro-LEDs MLED are arranged with a unit interval up and down, left and right, and the first group of micro-LEDs MLED and the second group of micro-LEDs MLED are arranged alternately), and the first group of micro-LEDs MLED and the second group of micro-LEDs MLED do not have repeated micro-LEDs. In some embodiments, the number of optical signal test elements 210 of the optical fiber array block FAB must at least cover the number of all micro-LEDs. In other words, the sum of the numbers of the two groups of micro-LEDs is equal to or less than the number of optical signal test elements 210 of the optical fiber array block FAB.

The second group of 8 micro-LEDs MLED are lit in the second time interval, and the optical signal test element 210 performs the second measurement in the second time interval to collect light from the corresponding 8 micro-LEDs MLED. In addition, during the first measurement and the second measurement, the optical fiber array block FAB does not need to be repositioned with the micro-LEDs MLED. In other words, the position of the optical signal sensing device 220 remains unchanged in the first time interval and the second time interval.

In some embodiments, the number of optical signal test elements 210 of the optical fiber array block FAB must at least cover the number of all micro-LEDs, in other words, the sum of the numbers of the two groups of micro-LEDs is equal to or less than the number of optical signal test elements 210 of the optical fiber array block FAB.

[0158] In this embodiment, the first group of 8 micro-LEDs MLED are lit in the first time interval, and the optical signal test element 210 performs the first measurement in the first time interval to collect light from the corresponding 8 micro-LEDs MLED. The second group of 8 micro-LEDs MLED are lit in the second time interval, and the optical signal test element 210 performs the second measurement in the second time interval to collect light from the corresponding 8 micro-LEDs MLED. In addition, during the first measurement and the second measurement, the optical fiber array block FAB does not need to be repositioned with the micro-LEDs MLED. In other words, the position of the optical signal sensing device 220 remains unchanged in the first time interval and the second time interval.

[0159] It should be noted that the aforementioned spacing units are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. A person skilled in the art may adjust the staggered arrangement and spacing units of the first group of micro-LEDs MLED and the second group of micro-LEDs MLED according to actual needs.

[0160] Please refer to Figure 7B As shown, the fiber array block FAB includes 36 optical signal test elements 210, and in one alignment performed by the positioning device 230 (eg Figure 7B The optical fiber array block FAB aligns 36 micro-LEDs MLED. The light source of LED has a light-emitting angle, that is, the scattering angle of LED light. In particular, the grains of the micro-LEDs MLED are smaller and the arrangement is denser. When the adjacent micro-LEDs MLED emit light at the same time, light interference will occur between them, which will affect the optical signal test element 210 receiving the light signal of a single micro-LED MLED. In order to reduce the situation of light interference, the micro-LEDs MLED can be divided into two or more groups at intervals. Different groups of micro-LEDs MLED light up at different time intervals, and the optical signal test element 210 is also divided into two or more groups corresponding to the micro-LEDs MLED.

[0161] like Figure 7B The optical signal test elements 210 are divided into three groups for example, the circular dotted line represents the first group, the square dotted line represents the second group, and the triangular dotted line represents the third group.

The first group of micro-LEDs MLEDs, the second group of micro-LEDs MLEDs, and the third group of micro-LEDs MLEDs are staggered (e.g. Figure 7B As shown, the first group of micro-LEDs MLED are arranged at intervals of two units in the same row or column, the second group of micro-LEDs MLED are arranged at intervals of two units in the same row or column, and the third group of micro-LEDs MLED are arranged at intervals of two units in the same row or column), and the first group of micro-LEDs MLED, the second group of micro-LEDs MLED and the third group of micro-LEDs MLED do not have repeated micro-LEDs. In some embodiments, the number of optical signal test elements 210 of the optical fiber array block FAB must at least cover the number of all micro-LEDs, in other words, the sum of the numbers of the three groups of micro-LEDs is equal to or less than the number of optical signal test elements 210 of the optical fiber array block FAB.

[0162] In this embodiment, the 12 micro-LEDs MLED of the first group are lit in the first time interval, and the optical signal test component 210 performs the first measurement in the first time interval to collect light from the corresponding 12 micro-LEDs MLEDs. The 12 micro-LEDs MLED of the second group are lit in the second time interval, and the optical signal test component 210 performs the second measurement in the second time interval to collect light from the corresponding 12 micro-LEDs MLEDs. The 12 micro-LEDs MLED of the third group are lit in the third time interval, and the optical signal test component 210 performs the third measurement in the third time interval to collect light from the corresponding 12 micro-LEDs MLEDs. In addition, during the three measurements, the optical fiber array block FAB does not need to be repositioned with the micro-LEDs MLEDs. In other words, the position of the optical signal sensing device 220 remains unchanged in the first time interval, the second time interval, and the third time interval.

[0163] exist FIG. 6A to FIG. 7B In the embodiment shown, due to the circuit distance or the designer's intention, in one alignment, the micro-LEDs MLED aligned by the optical fiber array block FAB emit light signals SP at different time points in the same time interval, and the optical fiber array block FAB transmits the light signals SP emitted at multiple different time points in the time period.

In some embodiments, the measurement method 1000 is implemented using an optical signal processing device (such as the optical signal processing device of the aforementioned embodiment), and the optical signal processing device includes multiple optical signal test elements and an optical signal sensing device. The detailed steps are described as follows.

[0174] Specifically, step S1001 is executed to align a plurality of optical signal test elements with a plurality of first micro-LEDs of a selected test block on a wafer.

[0177] In some prior arts, the time required to test a unit area of ​​light-emitting elements has increased significantly due to the continuous reduction in size of light-emitting elements (such as micro-LEDs) as demand continues. Through the aforementioned optical signal processing device disclosed in the present invention, the optical signal of the micro-LED is transmitted by the optical signal test element, so that multiple micro-LEDs can be directly measured in one test, thereby increasing the efficiency of the measurement. Furthermore, the optical signal test element disclosed in the present invention uses an optical fiber to receive the optical signal. Since the size of the optical fiber can match the size and spacing of the micro-LED, multiple optical fibers can be set in the optical signal test element. One optical fiber corresponds to one micro-LED, so when the number of optical fibers increases, the efficiency of the measurement is also improved. Furthermore, if the divergence angle of the light emitted by the micro-LED is large, it is necessary to get as close to the micro-LED as possible when capturing the optical signal to avoid the optical signal processing device taking up too much space. The optical fiber is small in size, so it can be close to the micro-LED and completely receive the optical signal, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement and reducing the volume of the optical signal processing device.
