In the specific example of Figure 4 , the first caliper pattern one is arranged on the left side of the first caliper pattern two, as an upward arrow; the second caliper pattern one is arranged on the right side of the second caliper pattern two, as a downward arrow.

[0059] For the first caliper and the second caliper, the pattern one is the same, the pattern two is the same, the pattern three is the same, and the pattern four is also the same.

[0060] The first caliper pattern one and the second caliper pattern one are used for identifying the area to be exposed, that is, the pattern one is used for distinguishing the belonging of the exposure Scan. The pattern two, the pattern three and the pattern four are detection patterns after exposure, mainly used for automatic detection of the exposure area.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 4 , the first and second caliper patterns two are rectangles of a first width;

[0062] The first caliper pattern three is a square with a 1 / 4 missing on the lower left, and the second caliper pattern three is a square with a 1 / 4 missing on the upper right; and the side length of the square is equal to the first width;

[0065] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 The position diagram of the exposure compliance indication area in the first and second calipers of the utility model example; the center of pattern three and the top end of pattern four are the exposure requirement area, that is, the exposure compliance indication area, and the length thereof can be designed according to actual requirements. The exposure in this area is required to be compliant.

[0066] The following describes the remaining parts of the system in combination with the exposure use process of the first and second calipers on the preset photomask. Meanwhile, the system also comprises an exposure device for performing exposure operation, and existing devices can be adopted to realize.

[0067] As understood by those skilled in the art, the TFT liquid crystal panel is a large plate, and multiple liquid crystal panel products Panel can be produced by multiple Scan exposure. In this process, the TFT liquid crystal panel is placed below, the preset photomask is placed parallel above the TFT liquid crystal panel and fixed, the TFT liquid crystal panel is moved by the TFT liquid crystal panel moving device, and each to-be-exposed area on the TFT liquid crystal panel is aligned with the exposure requirement area on the preset photomask, that is, the liquid crystal panel product area to be produced is aligned.

[0068] With the caliper position and pattern example described above Figures 3 to 5 , the TFT liquid crystal panel moving device first moves the first to-be-exposed area on the TFT liquid crystal panel below the exposure requirement area of the preset photomask, the exposure requirement area is subjected to first exposure treatment by the exposure device, and then the second to-be-exposed area on the TFT liquid crystal panel is moved below the exposure requirement area of the preset photomask, and the exposure requirement area is subjected to second exposure treatment by the exposure device;

[0069] The first to-be-exposed area and the second to-be-exposed area correspond to one liquid crystal panel product respectively, and an exposure target area is between the first to-be-exposed area and the second to-be-exposed area. The TFT liquid crystal panel moving device can move the TFT liquid crystal panel up and down.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 6 It is understood that Figure 6 The process diagram of the target caliper pattern obtained by twice exposure of the utility model is shown. The first to-be-exposed area is exposure area one, and the second to-be-exposed area is exposure area two. The edges exposed by Scan1 and Scan2 during exposure are required to reach the exposure requirement area shown in the figure. The center positions of the two calipers need to be in the same position on the glass after repeated exposure, that is, the projection centers of caliper 1 and caliper 2 on the glass overlap after twice exposure. Figure 5

[0071] In this process, the TFT liquid crystal panel moving device is specifically used for:

[0072] The first to-be-exposed area on the TFT liquid crystal panel is moved to below the exposure requirement area of the preset photomask, so that the lower edge of the first to-be-exposed area is within the area formed by the center of the second caliper pattern three and the lower edge of the second caliper pattern four. After the exposure device determines the positioning position of the center of the second caliper on the TFT liquid crystal panel, the exposure requirement area is exposed for the first time according to the positioning position, so that the pattern of the second caliper is developed on the TFT liquid crystal panel. Then, the TFT liquid crystal panel moving device moves the second to-be-exposed area on the TFT liquid crystal panel to below the exposure requirement area of the preset photomask, so that the upper edge of the second to-be-exposed area is within the area formed by the center of the first caliper pattern three and the upper edge of the first caliper pattern four. After the exposure device determines that the position of the center of the first caliper on the TFT liquid crystal panel is the positioning position, the exposure requirement area is exposed for the second time according to the positioning position, so that the pattern of the first caliper is developed on the TFT liquid crystal panel, to obtain the target caliper pattern after the pattern of the second caliper and the pattern of the first caliper are overlaid and developed.

[0073] Those skilled in the art combine Figure 6 ​It can be understood that, for the first to-be-exposed area, after the first exposure process, the upper edge of the TFT liquid crystal panel develops the pattern of the caliper 1 and the lower edge develops the pattern of the caliper 2; for the second to-be-exposed area, after the second exposure process, the upper edge of the TFT liquid crystal panel develops the pattern of the caliper 1 and the lower edge develops the pattern of the caliper 2, so that in the exposure target area of the middle area, that is, in the repeated exposure area, the overlapping developed pattern of the caliper 1 of the second exposure and the caliper 2 of the first exposure is developed, which is called a target caliper pattern. The target caliper pattern can be collected by using an image collection device. In an optional implementation, the image collection device includes a CCD camera.

[0074] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that, if the exposure area I and the exposure area II both reach the required exposure position, the overlapping developed pattern of the caliper 1 and the caliper 2, that is, the target caliper pattern, should be the pattern of the standard caliper pattern as shown in Figure 7 .

[0075] The standard caliper pattern includes, from top to bottom, a first rectangle, a square with a left lower right upper 1 / 4 missing, and a second rectangle; wherein the first rectangle and the second rectangle are the same as the first caliper pattern II and the second caliper pattern II.

[0076] If one or both of the two exposure areas do not reach the exposure requirement, a pattern as shown in Figure 8 is formed, Figure 8 The three patterns in the above are only examples, and in actual use, there can be other target caliper patterns that do not reach the exposure requirement, which are not illustrated herein.

[0077] After obtaining the target caliper pattern, data processing is performed by using a computing device.

[0078] At this time, the computing device is specifically configured to: calculate a gray scale curve corresponding to the first exposure according to a left half of the target caliper pattern, and calculate a gray scale curve corresponding to the second exposure according to a right half of the target caliper pattern; compare the gray scale curve corresponding to the first exposure with a standard gray scale curve corresponding to the left half of the standard caliper pattern, and compare the gray scale curve corresponding to the second exposure with a standard gray scale curve corresponding to the right half of the standard caliper pattern; if both comparison results are consistent, it is determined that the exposure range is qualified, otherwise it is determined that the exposure range is unqualified.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 9 understand the working process of the exposure detection system for the TFT liquid crystal panel provided by the utility model, Figure 9The caliper pattern in the mask is the target caliper pattern, is formed on the upper surface of the TFT liquid crystal panel after development, and the pattern data is obtained by collecting the image by an image collecting device, and the gray scale is calculated by a computing device to obtain the gray scale curve of each exposure, which is compared with the standard gray scale curve, and if there is a difference, it is determined to be unqualified, so that the exposure can be automatically monitored.

[0080] The computing device can be a computer, and the gray scale calculation can be an existing algorithm, and an existing software program can be called.

[0081] The caliper pattern design and system implementation scheme of the exposure detection system for the TFT liquid crystal panel can form a pattern that is easy to identify by the image collecting device and the computing device after exposure and development, can make the caliper pattern formed in the exposure range and the caliper pattern that does not meet the regulations form obvious differences, and can realize rapid determination through comparison of the gray scale curve, so as to realize the purpose of automatically monitoring whether the exposure range is in compliance. Therefore, automatic detection can be realized in production, and feedback and correction can be made in time.
