[0051] Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of a jig according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. (See reference...) Figure 1 This disclosure provides a fixture 1, which includes a circuit board 11 and a heat dissipation fixture 12. The circuit board 11 is adapted to drive a chip to operate and includes a first side and a second side opposite to each other. The heat dissipation fixture 12 includes a first heat dissipation part 121 and a second heat dissipation part 122, which are connected by a heat conduction part (not shown) adapted to conduct heat to the second heat dissipation part 122. The first heat dissipation part 121 is located on the first side of the circuit board 11, and the chip is adapted to be placed on the first heat dissipation part 121; the second heat dissipation part 122 is located on the second side of the circuit board 11.

[0052] In some embodiments, the circuit board 11 provides drive signals and power to the chip under test by being directly or indirectly connected to a power source.

[0053] Figure 2 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of a fixture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown; Figure 3 It shows Figure 2 A view of the fixture on the first side of the circuit board; Figure 4 It shows Figure 2 A view of the fixture on the second side of the circuit board. (Reference) Figures 2-4 The first heat dissipation part 121 is provided with at least one groove 1211, which is adapted to accommodate a chip.

[0054] In some embodiments, a first heat dissipation portion 121 located on a first side of the circuit board 11 protrudes from the surface of the circuit board 11. In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation portion 121 is a boss that protrudes from the surface of the circuit board 11.

[0055] To ensure that the chip fits snugly against the bottom surface of the recess 1211 to increase the contact area and to ensure the stability of the electrical connection between the chip and the circuit board 11, especially when the chip and the circuit board 11 are flexibly connected, the height of the bottom of the recess 1211 from the surface of the circuit board 11 needs to be set. In some embodiments, the bottom of the recess 1211 is higher than the surface of the circuit board 11, that is, the bottom of the recess 1211 is located on the first side of the circuit board 11, and the height difference between the bottom of the recess 1211 and the surface of the circuit board 11 is 1.4mm to 2.1mm, specifically, it can be 1.5mm or 2.0mm, etc.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first heat sink 121 is a solid structure, made of a material with good heat transfer properties, and its volume affects the heat dissipation rate. In some embodiments, the height of the first heat sink 121 protruding from the surface of the circuit board 11 is 0.4mm to 2.4mm, thereby ensuring that the first heat sink 121 has a sufficiently large volume to ensure the stability of the connection between the chip and the circuit board 11, especially when the chip and the circuit board 11 are flexibly connected, ensuring the stability of the electrical connection, while also ensuring the heat dissipation effect.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first heat sink 121 is provided with a plurality of grooves 1211 to accommodate a plurality of chips for testing, and the circuit board 11 includes a plurality of interfaces to be connected to the plurality of chips respectively to drive the chips, thus enabling simultaneous testing of multiple chips and improving testing efficiency. In some embodiments, the plurality of grooves 1211 on the first heat sink 121 are spaced apart on the first heat sink 121, and the circuit board 11 is provided with a plurality of corresponding interfaces to provide drive signals and power to the chips.

[0058] The fixtures of this disclosure, in some embodiments, refer to... Figure 3 The chip is a display chip module 2, which includes a display chip 21, an electrical connector 22, and a flexible component 23 connecting the display chip and the electrical connector. The groove 1211 of the first heat dissipation part 121 is adapted to accommodate the display chip 21. The circuit board 11 includes an interface (not marked in the figure) located near the groove 1211, adapted to connect with the electrical connector 22 of the display chip module 2.

[0059] In some embodiments, the gap between the groove 1211 of the first heat dissipation part 121 and the interface of the circuit board 11 is not greater than the length of the flexible component 23, so as to avoid the flexible component 23 from breaking or being damaged. In some embodiments, the flexible component 23 is a flexible circuit board, which is electrically connected to the display chip 21 and the electrical connector 22.

[0060] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the display chip module 2 further includes a heat sink 24, on which the display chip 21 is disposed. When the display chip module 2 is installed on the fixture 1, the heat sink 24 contacts the first heat sink 121 to conduct the heat generated by the display chip 21 due to power-on to the first heat sink 121.

[0061] In some embodiments, the display chip 21 is placed on the surface of the heat sink 24, and the heat sink 24 is placed in the groove 1211 of the first heat dissipation part 121. In some embodiments, the area of ​​the heat sink 24 is not less than the area of ​​the display chip 21, so that the heat sink 24 and the display chip 21 can make more sufficient contact, thereby better conducting heat to the first heat dissipation part 121.

[0062] In some embodiments, the heat sink 24 is made of metal or alloy; in some embodiments, the heat sink 24 is made of stainless steel.

[0063] In some embodiments, circuit board 11 is a PCBA board.

[0064] In some embodiments of the fixture disclosed herein, the circuit board 11 is provided with at least one through hole 111 so that the heat conduction part of the heat dissipation fixture 12 can pass through. The through hole 111 can be provided in a non-wiring area of ​​the circuit board 11. The heat conduction part passing through the through hole 111 connects the first heat dissipation part 121 and the second heat dissipation part 122 located on both sides of the circuit board 11, thereby improving the space utilization rate. Furthermore, the second heat dissipation part 122 can be designed according to actual conditions, such as increasing its surface area or extending it to the other side of the space to improve the heat dissipation effect. In this way, the heat dissipation effect can be guaranteed while occupying as little area of ​​the circuit board 11 as possible.

[0065] In some embodiments, the heat conduction part includes one or more support pillars, and the number of through holes 111 in the circuit board 11 is one or more. The support pillars pass through the through holes 111 and connect to the first heat dissipation part 121. It is possible for one support pillar to pass through one through hole 111, or for multiple support pillars to pass through one through hole 111; this is not limited here. In some embodiments, refer to... Figures 2-4 The circuit board 11 has a through hole 111 and the heat conduction part is a support pillar structure, so that the heat conduction part and the first heat dissipation part 121 have a larger contact area and better heat transfer effect.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation part 121 and the heat conduction part are an integral boss. To ensure heat dissipation effect and the stability of electrical connection between the chip and the circuit board 11, in some embodiments, the height of the boss is 2mm to 4mm, specifically, for example, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, etc.; in some embodiments, the boss is a cuboid structure with a height of 2mm to 4mm, a length of 2mm to 3mm, and a width of 2mm to 3mm.

[0067] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation fixture 12 includes a first heat dissipation part 121 and a second heat dissipation part 122 connected together. The first heat dissipation part 121 is a boss protruding from one side of the second heat dissipation part 122, and the boss is adapted to pass through a through hole 111. It should be noted that the boss passing through the through hole 111 means that the through hole 111 is located in the circumferential position of the boss. To ensure the heat dissipation effect of the boss and the stability of the electrical connection between the chip and the circuit board 11, in some embodiments, the height of the boss is 2mm to 4mm, specifically, for example, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, etc.; in some embodiments, the boss is a cuboid structure with a height of 2mm to 4mm, a length of 2mm to 3mm, and a width of 2mm to 3mm.

[0068] In some embodiments, the boss and the second heat dissipation part 122 are integrally formed structures.

[0069] In some embodiments, the boss is made of copper, copper alloy, aluminum, or aluminum alloy.

[0070] In some embodiments, the boss and the second heat dissipation part 122 are integrally formed; in some embodiments, the boss and the second heat dissipation part 122 are bonded together, for example, by metal glue.

[0071] Figure 5 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of a heat dissipation fixture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. (See reference...) Figure 5The second heat dissipation part 122 of the fixture 1 in this embodiment includes: a heat sink body 1221, the heat sink body 1221 having two opposing sides; fins 1222 disposed on one side of the heat sink body 1221; and the heat conduction part located on the other side of the heat sink body 1221.

[0072] In some embodiments, there are multiple fins 1222, which are parallel to each other and protrude from the other side of the heat sink body 1221. The fins 1222 increase the contact area with air, transferring heat to the circulating air to carry away the heat, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect on the display chip 21. In some embodiments, the fins 1222 and the heat sink body 1221 are an integral structure.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation part 121 and the heat conduction part are an integral boss that protrudes from the other side of the heat sink body 1221. The first heat dissipation part 121 conducts the heat generated by the display chip during the test to the heat sink body 1221 through the heat conduction part, and the heat is further conducted to the fins 1222 and dissipated, thereby achieving rapid heat dissipation.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation part 121, the heat conduction part, and the second heat dissipation part 122 are an integral structure. The first heat dissipation part 121 and the heat conduction part form a boss, which is protruding on the other side of the heat sink body 1221. Correspondingly, the circuit board 11 is provided with a through hole 111, through which the first heat dissipation part 121 passes and protrudes from the surface of the circuit board 11.

[0075] The larger the volume of the second heat dissipation part 122, the better it is to quickly receive the heat of the first heat dissipation part 121 and dissipate it into the air. Since the second heat dissipation part 122 is located on the second side of the circuit board 11, there is more space to set the second heat dissipation part 122 compared to the first side. In some embodiments, the projected area of ​​the second heat dissipation part 122 on the circuit board 11 is larger than the area of ​​the through hole 111.

[0076] In some embodiments, the material of the second heat dissipation part 122 is one or more of copper, copper alloy, aluminum, and aluminum alloy.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation part 121, the heat conduction part, and the second heat dissipation part 122 may be made of the same or different materials. In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation part 121, the heat conduction part, and the second heat dissipation part 122 may be made of metal or alloy.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation part 121, the heat conduction part, and the second heat dissipation part 122 are made of aluminum or aluminum alloy.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation part 121, the heat conduction part, and the second heat dissipation part 122 are made of copper or copper alloy.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation part 121 and the heat conduction part are made of copper or copper alloy, and the second heat dissipation part 122 is made of aluminum or aluminum alloy.

[0082] In some embodiments, to ensure heat dissipation while reducing costs, the first heat dissipation part 121 is made of copper or a copper alloy, and the second heat dissipation part 122 and the heat conduction part are made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation part 121, the heat conduction part, and the second heat dissipation part 122 are integrally formed; in some embodiments, the first heat dissipation part 121, the heat conduction part, and the second heat dissipation part 122 are bonded together, for example, by metal glue.

[0084] The fixture of this disclosure allows for various methods of connecting and fixing the circuit board 11 and the heat dissipation fixture 12, such as threaded engagement, snap-fit ​​engagement, interference fit, etc. In some embodiments, the second heat dissipation part 122 of the heat dissipation fixture 12 is provided with a mounting groove 1223, and the circuit board 11 is provided with a corresponding mounting hole 112. A mounting component passes through the mounting hole 112 of the circuit board 11 and engages with the mounting groove 1223 to fix it, thereby connecting and fixing the heat dissipation fixture 12 and the circuit board 11. In some embodiments, the mounting groove 1223 is a threaded hole with a threaded inner surface, and the mounting component is a matching screw. The circuit board 11 and the second heat dissipation part 122 are connected and fixed by threaded engagement. In some embodiments, the mounting groove 1223 includes a snap-fit ​​structure, and the mounting component is a corresponding hook structure. The circuit board 11 and the second heat dissipation part 122 are connected and fixed by snap-fit ​​engagement. In some embodiments, the structure of the mounting groove 1223 and the mounting component is suitable for interference fit connection.

[0085] The fixture in this embodiment includes a heat dissipation fixture with good heat dissipation effect. The first heat dissipation part and the second heat dissipation part are respectively located on both sides of the circuit board. During the test, the heat generated by the display chip is quickly dissipated, avoiding damage to the display chip due to excessive temperature.

[0086] The fixture of this disclosure can be used for various tests of display chips. By changing the power supply and drive signals of the input circuit board, and adjusting the temperature and pressure of the test environment, the test conditions can be changed to perform corresponding tests. Accordingly, the materials of the first heat dissipation part, the heat conduction part, and the second heat dissipation part can be selected according to actual conditions, and it has good heat dissipation effect in various testing processes of display chips. In some embodiments, the fixture of this disclosure can be used to perform aging tests on display chips, as well as constant temperature and constant current tests, high temperature tests, low temperature tests, etc.

[0087] Accordingly, this disclosure also provides a testing device, including at least one fixture according to any of the above embodiments, the fixtures of which will not be described in detail here.

In some embodiments, the signal interface of the backplane 3 receives signals and transmits them to a slot on one side of the backplane 3 and then to the circuit board, ultimately driving the chip to work.

[0094] Continue to refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the slots on the backplate 3 are spaced apart to allow the circuit boards 11 of the fixtures to be mounted at certain intervals. After installation, the circuit boards of each fixture are parallel. To further ensure that heat can be quickly dissipated when multiple fixtures are used for chip testing, and to avoid the heat dissipation affecting adjacent chips, the distance between the chip on the first heat dissipation part 121a of a fixture 1a and the second heat dissipation part 122b of the adjacent fixture 1b is more than 70mm in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the circuit board 11. More specifically, the distance is 70mm to 80mm, thereby enabling simultaneous testing of more chips and ensuring good heat dissipation.

[0095] In some embodiments, the testing equipment further includes a support structure 4, with a plurality of backplates 3 connected and fixed to the support structure 4. The support structure 4 is disposed within a chamber 7 to provide a testing environment for testing the chip within the chamber 7.

[0096] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a support structure with a fixture fixed according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. (See reference...) Figure 8 In some embodiments, the support structure 4 is provided with a plurality of arrayed mounting positions to accommodate the backplate 3, thereby fixing the fixture connected to the backplate 3 to the support structure 4. The support structure 4 can fix multiple backplates 3 at the same time, thereby fixing multiple fixtures 1 for testing, which improves the efficiency of testing.

[0097] In some embodiments, the back plate 3 and the support structure 4 are connected by fasteners, such as threaded connections. The connection method is only for illustrative purposes and is not limited herein.

[0098] In some embodiments, the support structure 4 has an opening to expose a signal interface on the backplate 3 for receiving signals.

[0099] In some embodiments, current and drive signals are transmitted to the backplane 3 via a control board and an adapter board. The control board can adjust and distribute the current and drive signals transmitted to the fixture, thereby controlling the test conditions.

[0100] Figure 9 A perspective view of the control board and adapter board according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. (See reference...) Figure 9 The control board 5 is adapted to be connected to a power source and electrically connected to the backplane 3; the adapter board 6 is electrically connected to the control board 5 and the backplane 3 respectively, and outputs current and drive signals to the signal interface of the backplane 3.

[0101] In some embodiments, the adapter board 6 includes a power output interface 61 and a drive signal output interface 62. The power output interface 61 is electrically connected to the power input interface 31 of the backplane 3, and the drive signal output interface 62 is electrically connected to the drive signal input interface 32 of the backplane 3, thereby transmitting current and drive signals to the backplane 3 and then to the chip 2 placed on the fixture 1.

[0102] In some embodiments, the control board 5 is directly connected to the adapter board 6, and the adapter board 6 is connected to the back plate 3 by wires, so that the adapter board 6 and the control board 5 are kept at a certain distance from the fixture 1, so as to avoid damage to the control board 5 by the heat dissipation of the fixture 1 during the test.

[0103] In some embodiments, the control board 5 and the adapter plate 6 are disposed outside the chamber 7.

[0104] In some embodiments, multiple fixtures 1 are fixed to the support structure 4 in an array. To ensure heat accumulation during the test, the distance between the chip on the first heat dissipation part 121 of one fixture and the second heat dissipation part 122 of the adjacent fixture is 70mm to 80mm in the direction perpendicular to the circuit board 11, for example, 72mm, 75mm, 78mm, etc.

[0105] The testing equipment of this embodiment can fix multiple fixtures for testing. During the testing process, the fixtures can dissipate the heat generated by the display chip, avoiding heat accumulation that could cause the display chip to overheat and be damaged. At the same time, it avoids other adverse effects of high temperature on the test, and can test multiple display chips at the same time, thus improving the testing efficiency.

[0106] In some embodiments, the support structure 4 of the test equipment fixes multiple fixtures 1, and the first heat dissipation part 121 on each fixture 1 holds multiple display chips, so that multiple display chips can be tested at the same time, which improves the test efficiency and has a good heat dissipation effect, avoiding heat accumulation that affects the test results or damages the display chips.

[0107] The testing equipment of this disclosure embodiment can be used to perform various tests on the chip. By changing the power supply and drive signal of the input circuit board, and adjusting the temperature and pressure of the test environment, the test conditions can be changed to perform corresponding tests. Accordingly, the materials of the first heat sink and the second heat sink can be selected according to actual conditions, and it has good heat dissipation effect in various testing processes of the display chip. In some embodiments, the testing equipment of this disclosure embodiment can be used to perform aging tests on the display chip, as well as constant temperature and constant current tests, high temperature tests, low temperature tests, etc.

[0108] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment used to illustrate the principles of this disclosure and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure. Various modifications and improvements can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and substance of this disclosure, and these modifications and improvements are also within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
