Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of inkjet printing technology, and in particular to an OLED substrate pixel groove positioning method, system, device and storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] The existing inkjet printing alignment method can only measure the result of deformation after the deformation has occurred through optical images, which is a passive reactive detection. The root cause of deformation is often thermal stress. In the process, the substrate will produce a temperature gradient due to uneven heating, leading to uneven thermal expansion and thus causing deformation. As the size of the OLED substrate increases, it is more likely to produce complex deformation due to temperature changes (which may cause thermal expansion and contraction) or mechanical stress during transmission and printing. Relying solely on a few discrete alignment marks for position calculation is like guessing the overall distortion of a large sheet of paper with a few points. It cannot perceive and compensate for the complex distortion between the mark points, resulting in inaccurate alignment in local areas. Error compensation is lagging, and for high-speed continuous printing, especially when the system has a large inertia or mechanical delay, this lagging compensation may not be able to fully keep up with the speed of error generation, resulting in printing deviation.

In the key area, such as the edge of the substrate and the vicinity of the mark point, mesh refinement is needed to accurately capture stress concentration and displacement gradient. The mesh is continuously refined and recalculated until the maximum displacement change is less than the threshold value (1%), ensuring that the calculation result is independent of the grid density.

[0038] P2: Thermal contact conductance (TCC) of the glass-marble interface: It determines the efficiency of heat transfer from the stage to the glass substrate, thereby affecting the actual temperature distribution inside the glass and indirectly affecting the deformation.
[0039] P3: Contact stiffness of the glass-marble interface: Under vacuum suction, the contact behavior of micro-irregularities affects local displacement.

[0041] P5: Convective heat transfer coefficient: It affects the heat dissipation on the top and side surfaces of the glass substrate, thereby affecting the overall temperature distribution.
[0042] First, perform a sensitivity analysis to identify the parameters that have the greatest impact on the final displacement results as the main calibration objects, to reduce the dimension and complexity of the optimization problem.
[0043] The parameter optimization algorithm uses a hybrid optimization strategy. First, use the genetic algorithm for global search to find a region close to the global optimum in the entire parameter space. Take the optimal solution obtained by global search as the initial value, and use the Levenberg-Marquardt local optimization algorithm for fine tuning to converge to the final solution.
[0044] The iterative calibration process is as follows: Define the parameter vector to be calibrated and its value range (constraints); select the optimization algorithm and set its parameters (such as the population size, crossover and mutation rate of GA); set the iteration stop condition; set the initial parameters (based on empirical material manuals or data provided by suppliers).
[0045] Start the iteration loop (current iteration step ), generate a new candidate parameter vector based on the historical evaluation results. For each steady-state experimental condition ( ), update the input of the finite element model using the parameters , run the solution to get the predicted displacement field under each condition. From the simulation result file, extract the displacement of all reference markers The second displacement prediction data corresponding to the position is then used. The extracted second displacement prediction data and the corresponding actual displacement are then substituted into the formula to calculate the current parameters. The objective function value .Will The value is returned to the optimization algorithm, which checks whether the preset iteration stopping condition is met. If it is met, the loop ends, and the current optimal value is returned. This is the calibration result; if it does not meet the requirements, then... Then, begin the next iteration.
[0046] The iteration terminates when any of the following conditions are met: (1) The objective function converges: the relative change in the objective function value is less than a very small threshold in several consecutive steps.
[0047] (2) Parameter convergence: The relative change of the parameter vector is less than a threshold in several consecutive steps.
[0048] (3) Reaching the maximum number of iterations: To prevent the algorithm from failing to converge and taking too long, a maximum number of iterations N_max (200 times) is set.
[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, a thermo-mechanically coupled finite element model of the glass substrate and the stage is established. The model is assigned thermal properties, mechanical properties, and a coefficient of thermal expansion. A two-dimensional temperature field function is applied as a thermal load. The second displacement prediction data of the reference marker points is solved through sequential coupling. Based on the second displacement prediction data and the actual displacement, the model is iteratively optimized to obtain a simulation model of the substrate and stage. The thermo-induced deformation mechanism of the glass substrate and stage is introduced into the positioning process in the form of a finite element model, improving the physical consistency of the model. Iterative optimization makes the simulation model match the actual working conditions, reducing errors caused by model parameter uncertainties. This provides a highly reliable model foundation for subsequent displacement prediction and neural network training, improving the accuracy and repeatability of the temperature-displacement relationship description.
