Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge lies in developing an effective detection method for small-sized LED chips used in display devices, as existing methods struggle to ensure quality control due to the miniaturization of LED chips, which complicates the manufacturing process.

Innovation Solution

A detection method involving a solvent mixture of IsoPropyl Alcohol (IPA) and an organic substance with a higher viscous coefficient is used to mix with LED chips, followed by transfer onto a base with receiving holes, where electrical and light intensity tests are conducted to classify the chips based on quality.
