[0023] refer to Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this utility model provides a fixture for detecting defects in Micro-OLEDs, including a vacuum seat 1, an insulating seat 2, and a cover plate 3.

[0024] Vacuum seat 1 is used to connect to a vacuum generator. Vacuum seat 1 has a groove at its upper end. Insulating seat 2 is placed in the groove. A groove 21 is provided on one side edge of the upper surface of insulating seat 2. An OLED flexible flat cable carrier 4 is provided in the groove 21. An OLED flexible flat cable positioning groove 41 is provided on the OLED flexible flat cable carrier 4. The shape of the OLED flexible flat cable positioning groove 41 is the same as that of the flexible flat cable of the workpiece to be tested, so as to ensure accurate positioning.

[0025] One end of the cover plate 3 is hinged to one end of the insulating base 2, and the other end of the cover plate 3 is snapped onto the other end of the insulating base 2, which facilitates closing or opening the cover plate 3. The cover plate 3 has a mounting hole 31 at the position corresponding to the OLED flexible flat cable carrier 4. A probe seat fixing plate 5 is provided in the mounting hole 31. A probe seat 6 is provided on the side of the probe seat fixing plate 5 facing the OLED flexible flat cable carrier 4. A probe is provided on the side of the probe seat 6 facing the OLED flexible flat cable carrier 4. A probe guide plate 7 is provided on the probe seat 6 on the side of the probe. A probe guide hole 71 is provided on the probe guide plate 7. The probe on the probe seat 6 is inserted into the probe guide hole 71. The probe guide plate 7 and the probe seat fixing plate 5 are connected by a spring 8. When the spring 8 is in a free state, the probe is located inside the probe guide hole 71. When the spring 8 is compressed, the distance between the probe guide plate 7 and the probe seat fixing plate 5 decreases, and the probe on the probe seat 6 passes through the probe guide hole 71 of the probe guide plate 7.

[0026] The top of the cover plate 3 is provided with a control circuit board 9, which is electrically connected to the probe on the probe holder 6. The control circuit board 9 is also used for electrical connection with the PC.

[0027] The upper surface of the vacuum base 1 is provided with an OLED main body positioning groove 11 at a position corresponding to the OLED flexible flat cable carrier 4. The OLED main body positioning groove 11 is also provided with a vacuum adsorption hole. When installing the OLED to be tested, the main body of the OLED is locked in the OLED main body positioning groove 11 and is adsorbed and fixed by the vacuum adsorption hole. The OLED flexible flat cable is locked in the OLED flexible flat cable positioning groove 41, thereby fixing the OLED to be tested and facilitating testing.

[0028] The working principle of the Micro-OLED defect detection fixture provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0029] The fixture is fixed on the testing equipment. Then, the PC-based testing software is opened, and the height and position of the camera and light source on the testing equipment are adjusted. The OLED to be tested is then fixed on the fixture, that is, the main body of the OLED is clamped in the OLED main body positioning groove 11 and fixed by vacuum adsorption. The OLED's flexible cable is clamped in the OLED flexible cable positioning groove 41. Then, the cover plate 3 is closed, and the probes on the probe holder 6 can contact the gold fingers on the Micro-OLED to achieve conductivity. When the control circuit board 9 is powered on, it can control the Micro-OLED to light up. The control circuit board 9 can also control it to turn off. Each Micro-OLED needs to be photographed twice by the camera. Once when the Micro-OLED is lit and the light source is off, the camera takes one picture. The other time when the Micro-OLED is not lit and the light source is emitting, the camera takes another picture. Then, the software analyzes the images captured by the camera in the two pictures to determine whether the Micro-OLED has dirt, black spots, scratches, or other abnormalities, thus completing the test.

[0030] This utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, regardless of any changes made in its shape or structure, any technical solution that falls within the scope of the claims of this utility model shall be protected by this utility model.
