Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lens detection, and in particular to a composite MLA detection method and a detection device for an LED array. Background Art

[0002] Microlens array (MLA) has important and extensive applications in optical systems. Microlens array has the functions of converging light energy, correcting aberrations and imaging. It is widely used in infrared photodetectors, image recognition and processing, optical communications, laser medicine, space optics and many other fields due to its small size, light weight, high integration and easy replication.

[0003] However, in the actual production process, there is no good detection method for microlens arrays to determine whether they are qualified. At present, the main method of detecting microlens arrays is to measure them through equipment such as profilometers and atomic force microscopes. Using a microscope can only observe fine structures one by one, and it is not possible to determine whether the microlenses in the microlens array are distorted or whether the array is uniform and consistent on a macro scale. This method is not only costly and inefficient, but also easy to cause secondary damage and contamination to the microlens array due to direct contact between the probe and the surface of the object being measured. Therefore, most companies on the market can only use small-batch trial production methods to determine whether the microstructure of the microlens array in this batch is qualified through visual observation of the finished product, and then organize mass production.

[0004] However, there are many uncertain factors in the production process of microlens arrays. If the quality of microlens arrays can only be judged by trial production, it is obviously a big risk for microlens array manufacturers. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a microlens array microstructure detection device.

[0005] The disclosure of the above background technology content is only used to assist in understanding the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention. It does not necessarily belong to the prior art of this patent application, nor does it necessarily provide technical guidance. In the absence of clear evidence that the above content has been disclosed before the filing date of this patent application, the above background technology should not be used to evaluate the novelty and creativity of the present application.

[0080] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0081] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, device, product or equipment that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present invention, a composite MLA detection method for an LED array is provided, wherein the LED array includes a microlens array, and the microlens array includes a plurality of sub-lenses arranged in an array, such as Figure 1 As shown, the detection method includes:

[0083] S1: Acquire multiple spot images corresponding to each sub-lens.

[0084] The spot image may be a grayscale image. In order to obtain multiple spot images corresponding to each sub-lens, an array spot image may be first obtained using a camera, wherein the array spot image includes the image of the spot corresponding to each sub-lens; and then the spot image of each sub-lens is cropped from the array spot image. For example, in order to improve the image quality of the spot image of the sub-lens, N array spot images are obtained, and N spot images of each sub-lens can be obtained by cropping.

[0085] Furthermore, the cropping needs to determine the center of the light spot in the light spot image of each sub-lens. In this embodiment, the following method is adopted:

[0086] S11: performing image clarity calculation on a plurality of array light spot images to select a focused array light spot image from the plurality of array light spot images.

[0087] The purpose of clarity calculation is to select an image with the best focus for circular detection and coordinate extraction of the light spot.

[0088] S12: Perform filtering and noise reduction processing on the focused array spot image to obtain a filtered image.

[0089] In this embodiment, the filtering noise reduction first uses median filtering to reduce the noise of salt and pepper noise, and then uses Gaussian filtering to reduce the noise of Gaussian noise.

[0090] S13: Performing circle detection processing on the filtered image to obtain the center coordinates of each light spot in the focusing array light spot image.

[0091] S14: cropping each array spot image based on the circle center coordinates to obtain multiple spot images of each sub-lens.

[0092] S2: Processing the spot image to determine a consistency detection result of the sub-lens; wherein the consistency detection result includes at least one of a PSF consistency detection result, an MTF consistency detection result, and a position consistency detection result.

[0093] The test results of PSF consistency, MTF consistency and position consistency include qualified and unqualified.

[0094] Among them, the PSF consistency test aims to detect whether the actual PSF index of a sub-lens is consistent with the theoretical PSF index or not; the MTF consistency test aims to detect whether the actual MTF index of a sub-lens is consistent with the theoretical MTF index or not; the position consistency test aims to detect whether the actual position of a sub-lens is consistent with the theoretical position or not.

[0095] S3: Determine a composite MLA detection result of the microlens array based on the consistency detection result of the sub-lenses.

[0096] In one embodiment, when the consistency detection results of the sub-lenses include the detection results of the position consistency, the number of sub-lenses with qualified positions can be counted, and then it is determined whether the lens ratio value of the sub-lenses with qualified positions in the microlens array reaches a preset qualified ratio threshold; if the lens ratio value of the sub-lenses with qualified positions in the microlens array reaches the preset qualified ratio threshold, the composite MLA detection result of the microlens array is determined to be qualified; if the lens ratio value of the sub-lenses with qualified positions in the microlens array does not reach the preset qualified ratio threshold, the composite MLA detection result of the microlens array is determined to be unqualified.

[0097] In another embodiment, when the consistency test results of the sub-lenses include the test results of the PSF consistency, it can be determined whether the lens ratio of the sub-lenses with qualified PSF in the microlens array reaches a preset qualified ratio threshold. If the lens ratio of the sub-lenses with qualified PSF in the microlens array reaches the preset qualified ratio threshold, the composite MLA test result of the microlens array is determined to be qualified; if the lens ratio of the sub-lenses with qualified PSF in the microlens array does not reach the preset qualified ratio threshold, the composite MLA test result of the microlens array is determined to be unqualified.

[0098] In another embodiment, when the consistency test results of the sub-lenses include the test results of the MTF consistency, the number of sub-lenses with qualified MTF can be counted, and then it is determined whether the proportion of sub-lenses with qualified MTF to all sub-lenses reaches a preset proportion threshold; if the proportion of sub-lenses with qualified MTF to all sub-lenses does not reach the preset proportion threshold, the composite MLA test result of the microlens array is determined to be unqualified.

[0099] In other embodiments, when the consistency test results of the sub-lenses include the test results of PSF consistency, the test results of MTF consistency and the test results of position consistency, the number of sub-lenses whose PSF consistency test results, MTF consistency test results and position consistency test results are all qualified can be determined first; then it is determined whether the lens ratio value of the number of sub-lenses whose three test results are all qualified in the microlens array reaches a preset ratio threshold; if the lens ratio value of the number of sub-lenses that are all qualified in the microlens array reaches the preset ratio threshold, then the composite MLA test result of the microlens array is determined to be qualified; if the lens ratio value of the number of sub-lenses that are all qualified in the microlens array does not reach the preset ratio threshold, then the composite MLA test result of the microlens array is determined to be unqualified.

[0100] It can be understood that if the consistency test results only include the test results of PSF consistency and the test results of MTF consistency, the number of sub-lenses whose PSF consistency test results and MTF consistency test results are both qualified is first determined; then it is determined whether the lens ratio value of the number of sub-lenses whose two test results are both qualified in the microlens array reaches a preset ratio threshold; if the lens ratio value of the number of sub-lenses that are both qualified in the microlens array reaches the preset ratio threshold, the composite MLA test result of the microlens array is determined to be qualified; if the lens ratio value of the number of sub-lenses that are both qualified in the microlens array does not reach the preset ratio threshold, the composite MLA test result of the microlens array is determined to be unqualified.

[0101] It can be understood that when the consistency detection results of the sub-lenses include the detection results of the PSF consistency, the MTF consistency and the position consistency, it can also be determined whether the lens ratio value of the number of sub-lenses with qualified positions in the microlens array reaches a first preset ratio threshold, whether the lens ratio value of the number of sub-lenses with qualified PSF in the microlens array reaches a second preset ratio threshold, and whether the lens ratio value of the number of sub-lenses with qualified MTF in the microlens array reaches a third preset ratio threshold. If so, it is determined that the composite MLA detection result of the microlens array is qualified; if not, it is determined that the composite MLA detection result of the microlens array is unqualified.

[0102] Furthermore, the preset ratio threshold and specific values ​​of the first preset ratio threshold to the third preset ratio threshold can be set according to specific application requirements, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0103] It is worth noting that the composite MLA detection method for LED arrays provided by the present invention can quantitatively, large-scale and quickly judge the structural quality of the microlens array. By detecting the position, PSF and MTF consistency of the sub-lenses of the microlens array, feedback can be provided on the production process, and adjustments can be made to the products in production in a timely manner, thereby improving the yield and reducing quality risks.

[0104] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the position consistency of the sub-lenses is determined by:

[0105] S21a: Select the most focused spot image from the multiple spot images corresponding to each sub-lens, and record it as the focused spot image.

[0106] Exemplarily, the most focused spot image is selected from the multiple spot images corresponding to each sub-lens in the following manner: by fitting the grayscale gradient curve of the multiple spot images of each sub-lens, the spot image corresponding to the maximum value of the grayscale gradient curve is used as the focused spot image.

[0107] Furthermore, the fitting of the grayscale gradient curve is to calculate the grayscale gradient curve by derivation of each spot image of each sub-lens cut out, the horizontal axis is the coordinate of the grayscale gradient direction, and the vertical axis is the derivative value of the coordinate grayscale. Exemplarily, the derivation is obtained by convolving the Sobel operator in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. The Sobel operator is as follows:

[0108]

[0109] in, G x is the Sobel operator in the horizontal direction, G yis the Sobel operator in the vertical direction.

[0110] S22a: Determine the centroid of the light spot in the focused light spot image of each sub-lens.

[0111] If the light spot is a standard circle, then the center of the light spot can be considered as the center of mass of the light spot. However, due to processing issues, the light spot of the sub-lens may not be a standard circle, so the center of mass coordinates of the light spot are selected for linear fitting. In one embodiment of the present invention, the center of mass of the light spot corresponding to the light spot formed by each sub-lens is obtained by the following formula:

[0112]

[0113] in, i and j are the coordinate values ​​of the image in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively. m and n are the number of pixels in two directions respectively, is the gray value at pixel (i, j), x is the coordinate value of the centroid of the light spot in the horizontal direction of the image, y is the coordinate value of the center of mass of the light spot in the longitudinal direction of the image.

[0114] S23a: Perform straight line fitting in the row direction and column direction according to the centroids of the light spots corresponding to all sub-lenses, and obtain fitting straight lines corresponding to each row and each column.

[0115] S24a: Obtain the distance from the centroid of the light spot corresponding to each sub-lens to the fitting straight line corresponding to its row and column as the position deviation of the sub-lens.

[0116] The position deviation includes row deviation and column deviation; according to the position deviation of all sub-lenses, the detection result of the position consistency of the sub-lenses is determined.

[0117] S25a: Determine whether the position deviation of each sub-lens falls within a preset deviation range. If so, the detection result of the position consistency of the sub-lens is qualified; if not, the detection result of the position consistency of the sub-lens is unqualified.

[0118] Assume that the microlens array includes m rows and n columns of sub-lenses, m and n are both greater than 1, and the i-th (1≤i≤m×n) sub-lens is recorded as sub-lens i; determine whether the row deviation and column deviation of sub-lens i both fall within the corresponding preset deviation range; if the row deviation and column deviation of sub-lens i both fall within the corresponding preset deviation range, then determine that the detection result of the position consistency of sub-lens i is qualified; if the row deviation or column deviation of sub-lens i does not fall within the corresponding preset deviation range, then the detection result of the position consistency of sub-lens i is unqualified.

[0119] In one embodiment of the present invention, the detection result of the PSF consistency of the sub-lens is determined by the following method:

[0120] S21b: Acquire a PSF image of each sub-lens, where the PSF image includes an image of a light spot corresponding to the sub-lens.

[0121] S22b: Calculate a corresponding PSF similarity value based on the PSF image of each sub-lens, and / or calculate an area difference between a corresponding light spot and a theoretical light spot based on the PSF image of each sub-lens.

[0122] S23b: Determine the detection result of the PSF consistency of the sub-lens based on the PSF similarity value and / or area difference value corresponding to the sub-lens.

[0123] There are three ways to determine the PSF consistency of a sub-lens:

[0124] Method 1: Only the PSF similarity value is used as the judgment standard for PSF consistency: if the PSF similarity value of a sub-lens reaches a preset PSF similarity threshold, the detection result of the PSF consistency of the sub-lens is qualified.

[0125] Method 2: Only the area difference is used as the judgment standard for PSF consistency: If the area difference between the light spot corresponding to the sub-lens (i.e., the actual light spot) and the theoretical light spot does not exceed the preset area difference threshold, the PSF consistency test result of the sub-lens is qualified.

[0126] Method 3 Figure 3 As shown, in this method, the PSF similarity value and the area difference value are used together as the judgment criteria for PSF consistency: assuming that the microlens array includes m rows and n columns of sub-lenses, m and n are both greater than 1, and the i-th (1≤i≤m×n) sub-lens is recorded as sub-lens i; if the PSF similarity value of sub-lens i reaches a preset PSF similarity threshold, and the area difference between the light spot corresponding to sub-lens i (i.e., the actual light spot) and the theoretical light spot does not exceed the preset area difference threshold, then the PSF of sub-lens i is qualified; if the PSF similarity value of sub-lens i is less than the preset PSF similarity threshold, or the area difference between the light spot corresponding to sub-lens i and the theoretical light spot is greater than the preset area difference threshold, then the detection result of the PSF consistency of sub-lens i is unqualified.

[0127] like Figure 4 As shown, the following describes the determination of whether the sub-lens PSF consistency is qualified or not by using the PSF similarity value as a judgment standard. The PSF image includes an original PSF image and a simulated PSF image, and both the original PSF image and the simulated PSF image include images of the light spots corresponding to the sub-lenses.

[0128] A1: Determine the original PSF image of each sub-lens from multiple spot images of each sub-lens.

[0129] Calculate the gradient values ​​of multiple spot images of each sub-lens; and determine the spot image with the largest gradient value among all the spot images of each sub-lens as the original PSF image of the sub-lens.

[0130] A2: Obtain the simulated PSF image corresponding to each original PSF image.

[0131] The simulated PSF image can be output by optical simulation software such as Zemax.

[0132] A3: Expand the original PSF image of each sub-lens to obtain an expanded PSF image, which is recorded as the expanded PSF image.

[0133] For example, use the following formula to log-expand the original PSF image:

[0134]

[0135] in, I is the normalized grayscale matrix of the original PSF image, I’ is the grayscale matrix of the expanded PSF image, ε and δ are two weighting coefficients.

[0136] For example, taking an 8-bit image as an example, ε and δ The values ​​are 255 and 0.04 respectively. 255 is the maximum grayscale value of an 8-bit image. Here, it is to expand the image in the bottom grayscale area; 0.004 is the result of normalizing the grayscale of an 8-bit image with a grayscale of 1, that is, the value of 1 / 255. Here, it is to ensure that the value in ln is greater than 0.

[0137] A4: Based on the original PSF image, the expanded PSF image and the simulated PSF image, calculate the PSF similarity corresponding to each sub-lens.

[0138] Calculate the similarity value between the original PSF image and the simulated PSF image, recorded as the first similarity value SSIM 1; Calculate the similarity value between the expanded PSF image and the simulated PSF image, recorded as the second similarity value SSIM 2; For the first similarity value SSIM 1 and the second similarity value SSIM 2 Perform weighted summation to obtain the PSF similarity value, that is, use the following formula:

[0139] SSIM 总 =α× SSIM 1+β× SSIM 2

[0140] in, SSIM 总 is the PSF similarity value, α is the weight value of the original PSF image, and β is the weight value of the expanded PSF image.

[0141] A5: If the PSF similarity value of a sub-lens SSIM 总 If the preset PSF similarity threshold is reached, the PSF consistency test result of the sub-lens is qualified.

[0142] Assume that the microlens array includes m rows and n columns of sub-lenses, m and n are both greater than 1, and the i-th (1≤i≤m×n) sub-lens is recorded as sub-lens i; determine whether the PSF similarity value of sub-lens i reaches a preset PSF similarity threshold; if the PSF similarity value of sub-lens i reaches the preset PSF similarity threshold, then determine that the detection result of the PSF consistency of sub-lens i is qualified; if the PSF similarity value of sub-lens i does not reach the preset PSF similarity threshold, then determine that the detection result of the PSF consistency of sub-lens i is unqualified.

[0143] like Figure 5 As shown, the following describes the difference between the area of ​​the actual light spot and the theoretical light spot corresponding to the sub-lens as the judgment standard to determine whether the PSF consistency of the sub-lens is qualified or not:

[0144] B1: Determine the original PSF image of each sub-lens from multiple spot images of each sub-lens.

[0145] The method of obtaining the original PSF image is the same as above and will not be repeated here.

[0146] B2: Determine the area of ​​the light spot in the original PSF image of each sub-lens, and record it as the actual light spot area of ​​each sub-lens.

[0147] B3: Get the theoretical spot area of ​​the sub-lens.

[0148] The theoretical spot area can be obtained through optical simulation software such as Zemax.

[0149] B4: Determine whether the difference between the actual spot area of ​​the sub-lens and the corresponding theoretical spot area is less than a preset area difference threshold.

[0150] B5: If the difference between the actual spot area and the corresponding theoretical spot area is less than the preset area difference threshold, the PSF consistency test result of the sub-lens is considered qualified.

[0151] If the detection result of the PSF consistency of the sub-lens is determined based on the PSF similarity value corresponding to the sub-lens and the area difference value, it is necessary to use the above-mentioned judgment standard to determine whether the PSF similarity value corresponding to the sub-lens meets the PSF consistency standard, and to determine whether the area difference value corresponding to the sub-lens meets the PSF consistency standard. If both standards meet the PSF consistency standard, the detection result of the PSF consistency of the sub-lens is determined to be qualified.

[0152] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the detection result of the MTF consistency of the sub-lens is determined by the following method:

[0153] S21c: Determine an original PSF image of each sub-lens from the multiple spot images of each sub-lens.

[0154] S22c: Perform frequency domain transformation on the original PSF image of each sub-lens to obtain the current MTF image of each sub-lens.

[0155] S23c: Obtain the simulated MTF image of each sub-lens.

[0156] S24c: Calculate the similarity between the current MTF image of each sub-lens and the corresponding simulated MTF image to obtain the MTF similarity value of each sub-lens.

[0157] The following solutions can be adopted:

[0158] C1: Perform multiple synchronous sampling on the same points of the current MTF image and the simulated MTF image to obtain multiple first MTF values ​​and corresponding second MTF values ​​respectively.

[0159] C2: Based on the multiple first MTF values ​​and the corresponding second MTF values, the average value of the MTF similarity values ​​of the sampling points corresponding to the multiple synchronous samplings is calculated, and recorded as the MTF similarity value of each sub-lens.

[0160] The MTF similarity value of the sampling point is related to the ratio of the first MTF value to the second MTF value at the sampling point.

[0161] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the MTF similarity value of the sub-lens is calculated using the following formula:

[0162]

[0163] in, P is the MTF similarity value of the sub-lens, For location ( Xi , Yi ), For location ( Xi, Yi ), N is the number of the first MTF value.

[0164] S25c: Determine the detection result of the MTF consistency of the sub-lenses according to the MTF similarity values ​​of all the sub-lenses.

[0165] Assume that the microlens array includes m rows and n columns of sub-lenses, m and n are both greater than 1, and the i-th (1≤i≤m×n) sub-lens is recorded as sub-lens i; determine whether the MTF similarity value of sub-lens i is greater than a preset MTF similarity threshold. If the MTF similarity value of sub-lens i is greater than the preset MTF similarity threshold, the detection result of the MTF consistency of sub-lens i is qualified; if the MTF similarity value of sub-lens i is less than or equal to the preset MTF similarity threshold, the detection result of the MTF consistency of sub-lens i is unqualified.

The vertical driving mechanism is a z-axis precision translation stage 8, which is connected to a camera 10, and the z-axis precision translation stage 8 is configured to drive the camera 10 to move along the optical axis direction of the optical path in order to adjust the focus.

[0174] Furthermore, the x-axis precision translation stage 4 , the y-axis precision translation stage 5 , the z-axis precision translation stage 8 and the stage 6 are all hollow-out designs to allow light emitted by the light source 1 to pass through.

[0175] In one embodiment of the present invention, the magnification of the microscope objective 9 is determined by the focal length of the microlens array 7 to be detected, the focal length of the collimator 2 and the pixel size of the camera 10 .
