Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of electronic glass detection, and in particular relates to a device and method for testing the deformation amount of electronic glass during high-temperature heat treatment. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the display technology industry, people's demand for various display devices is growing. In the display manufacturing process, multiple treatments are required at higher temperatures. For example, in the production process of amorphous silicon (a-Si) TFT, multiple treatments are required at 300-450°C, while for polycrystalline silicon (p-Si) TFT, multiple treatments are required at 450-600°C. This requires that the electronic glass used in the display must not be significantly deformed during multiple high-temperature treatments, thus placing higher requirements on the thermal stability and dimensional stability of the glass.

[0003] The processing of display modules requires lamination and other processes under high temperature and heat, so it is necessary to know the deformation of electronic glass under heat. The current method for testing thermal shrinkage in the industry is mainly the scribing method, which uses an instrument that can scribble on the glass surface, such as a Vickers hardness tester indenter, a glass cutter, or sandpaper, to scribble marks at both ends of the sample. The sample is then divided into two pieces, one as the substrate without treatment, and the other as the treated sample after being treated and cooled under test conditions. The treated sample and the substrate sample are spliced ​​together, and the difference between the scribing at both ends of the sample is tested under a microscope to calculate the thermal shrinkage of the sample. This method will cause the glass to have a large error in the calculation result due to uneven force when scribing, and this method is a test conducted in a cold state after the electronic glass has undergone heating-insulation-cooling, and cannot simulate the user's process under high temperature and heat. Summary of the invention
