Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a foreign matter repair method for a silicon-based OLED product, belonging to the technical field of foreign matter repair methods. Background Art
[0002] Silicon-based OLED is the core component of near-eye display devices (VR, MR, AR). Light-emitting devices are manufactured on silicon-based substrates and eventually produced as light-emitting display units. In the production of silicon-based OLED, the cleanliness requirements for the production line are relatively high. Some small-sized um-level particles and foreign matter will fall into the production process, eventually affecting the display effect of the product. The defects caused by tiny particles are the main reason for yield loss in the silicon-based OLED display industry, resulting in a large number of defective process losses.
[0003] In the film layer structure, the anode (Anode) and the cathode (Cathode) are the light-emitting display units. When powered on, the anode and the cathode can drive the OLED in the middle to emit light and display the picture.
[0004] When foreign matter exists in the middle of the film layer, the laser is used to irradiate the OLED evaporated film layer and the cathode Sputter film layer and destroy the related film layer structure, so that the original anode-cathode energized light display will not emit light due to the destruction of the cathode and OLED film layer, making the visible tiny particles of foreign matter become dark spots.
[0005] The existing technology can only repair foreign matter in the OLED vapor-deposited film layer and the cathode Sputter film layer. Foreign matter between the cathode Sputter and the cover plate CG film layer cannot be repaired because the laser irradiates from top to bottom and the laser energy will be absorbed when encountering some foreign matter. This type of particulate foreign matter is usually directly scrapped, resulting in a large amount of yield loss.
[0006] Therefore, a method for repairing foreign matter in silicon-based OLED products is needed to improve the above-mentioned deficiencies. Summary of the invention
[0007] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for repairing foreign matter in a silicon-based OLED product.
[0008] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:
[0009] A method for repairing foreign matter in a silicon-based OLED product, comprising a plane reflector, foreign matter, a laser lens and a repair screen;
[0010] The plane reflector is placed above the maintenance screen and is used to observe the position of foreign matter on the maintenance screen by adjusting the direction and position of the laser lens.
[0011] Preferably, the horizontal distance e between the laser lens and the foreign object is adjusted to ensure that e>e.
[0012] Preferably, the laser lens may be located above or on the side of the maintenance screen.
[0013] Preferably, the distance between the laser lens and the plane reflector is c, and the horizontal distance h between the laser reflection point and the laser and the horizontal distance e between the laser reflection point and the foreign object are adjusted.
[0014] Preferably, the best angle θ can be controlled and adjusted. When parameters such as c, d, e, h and angle θ are determined, the laser transmission distance f+g can be calculated.
[0015] Preferably, by adjusting the size of e and h, the repair of foreign objects of different sizes can also be covered. The distance between the laser lens and the center point of the foreign object is e. The distance f between the cathode film layer at the corresponding position of the foreign object, the Sputter film layer and the laser lens is calculated by the Pythagorean theorem.
[0016] Preferably, the foreign body repair of silicon-based OLED products also includes foreign body repair equipment;
[0017] The laser lens moves horizontally and vertically along the upper horizontal moving housing and the lower vertical moving housing, and the plane reflector is driven to open and close by the connecting plate, the upper connecting swing rod, the driving member, the connecting rod, the lifting plate and the L-shaped connecting block;
[0018] A connecting plate is installed in the upper transverse moving shell, and upper connecting swing rods are rotatably installed on both sides of the connecting plate. A plane reflecting mirror is installed in linkage with the outer end of the upper connecting swing rod. A connecting rod is pulled and installed on the lower side of the upper connecting swing rod. A lifting plate is installed on the outer end of the connecting rod. An L-shaped connecting block is installed on the lifting plate. The L-shaped connecting block is opened and closed by a pushing driving member.
[0019] Preferably, a driving member is installed in the upper horizontal movable housing and the lower vertical movable housing respectively, a piston rod is installed at the output end of the driving member, and the outer end of the piston rod is movably connected to the lens stopper and the lower vertical movable housing.
[0020] Preferably, the laser lens is installed in a lens stopper, and the outer side of the lens stopper is drivingly connected to a rotating drive member.
[0021] Preferably, the laser lens is a steering structure, the laser lens is a tiltable and refractable structure, and the maintenance screen is placed in a maintenance screen placement box.
[0022] Beneficial technical effects of the present invention:
[0023] The present invention provides a method for repairing foreign matter in a silicon-based OLED product.
[0024] 1. Yield improvement: By repairing foreign matter between the cathode and the cover plate, the yield of the product can be improved;
[0025] 2. Covering foreign bodies of different sizes: We can repair foreign bodies of different sizes within the specifications acceptable to customers;
[0026] 3. Compatible with existing foreign body repair methods: foreign bodies on the evaporation film layer and cathode film layer can also be repaired by the method proposed by the present invention;
[0027] 4. The laser position can be selected: the laser can be repaired directly facing the laser, or it can be repaired by reflection to avoid interference with the equipment hardware;
[0028] 5. When repairing foreign matter between the cathode Sputter film layer and the glass cover CG film layer of the silicon-based OLED, the cathode film layer corresponding to the foreign matter can be destroyed by adjusting the laser route, so that a dark spot is formed at the location of the foreign matter, which can then be repaired and upgraded.

The laser lens and the plane reflector produce refraction and are used in conjunction with the maintenance screen. When the plane reflector is opened to both sides of the upper transverse moving shell, the laser lens brought by the driving part is started and moved to one side of the upper transverse moving shell above the maintenance screen placement box to realize the oblique shooting operation and the multi-directional automatic moving detection function. The reflector is a splicing structure, and this equipment has a multi-functional operation function. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
