Here, with reference to Fig. 6, to adopting above-mentioned apparatus for measuring reflectance 100 to measure the reflection characteristic of this substrate 101 and the assay method of scattering properties describes. at this illustrated assay method, be the part of reflection-type or semi-transmission type display panels manufacturing process.Promptly, this assay method is used for following operation, promptly, not under the state of the display panels finished final cutting out from substrate, but be configured to be formed under the state of the substrate 101 on the substrate at the pattern of a plurality of display panels, mensuration is formed on the reflection characteristic and the scattering properties of the reflectance coating on the substrate, comes good product, defective products are checked.
Fig. 6 is the process flow diagram (flow chart) that the assay method that adopts above-mentioned apparatus for measuring reflectance 100, mensuration reflection characteristic and scattering properties is described.At first, the reflection characteristic of carrying out substrate 101 is measured (step (step) S101).Particularly, at first with these substrate 101 mountings to objective table 102.At this moment, the reference point 110 of substrate 101 becomes the initial point of objective table 102.
Then, make objective table 102 move to the initial position of reflection measurement portion 107.At this moment, the optical element that enjoys of first detecting device 104 disposes along the A row pattern 109 that forms on substrate 101. afterwards, from first lighting source 103 with line (line) shape to substrate 101 irradiating illumination light, and receive reflected light from substrate 101 by first detecting device 104.That is, the unified intensity of reflected light that belongs to 1~9 pattern 109 of A row is measured.
Then, moving stage 102, so that the pattern 109 of the B on the substrate 101 row becomes the position corresponding with first detecting device 104. then, equally from first lighting source 103 to substrate 101 irradiating illumination light, and receive reflected light from substrate 101 by first detecting device 104. promptly, the unified reflection characteristic that belongs to 1~9 pattern 109 of B row is measured.By carrying out these actions repeatedly, the reflection characteristic of substrate 101 integral body is measured from A to I row.Thus, can easily determine the Two dimensional Distribution data of the intensity of reflected light in the real estate at short notice.
At this moment, making from the illumination light beam split of first lighting source, 103 irradiations is a certain set wavelength. mensuration can be implemented by a kind of wavelength, also can adopt the multi-wavelength to implement in more detail. thus, can further carry out the mensuration of reflection characteristic accurately.
Then, whether qualifiedly judge (step S102) by what the intensity of reflected light after measuring was carried out each pattern 109. particularly, the measurement result of comparison step S101 and the intensity of reflected light of the standard sample of mensuration in advance carry out whether qualifiedly judging.For example, in the present embodiment, the reflection strength 1 of relative standard sampling, with measurement result less than 0.8 pattern 109 is made as NG (step S103). and in addition, be that pattern 109 more than 0.8 is judged as OK with measurement result.Thus, on substrate 101, mixing pattern 109 that is judged as NG and the pattern 109. that is judged as OK
Then, be object with the pattern 109 that is judged as OK in the reflection characteristic mensuration, carry out scattering properties and measure (step S104).Moving stage 102 is judged as on the pattern 109 of OK so that second lighting source 105 is configured in the pattern 109 on the substrate 101.That is, the pattern 109 that is judged as OK be configured in become annular second lighting source 105 under the position. then, from second lighting source, 105 irradiating illumination light, the reflected light that receives from the pattern that is judged as OK by second detecting device 106.All object patterns 109 that are judged as OK are implemented this mensuration.
Then, utilize the measurement result of this scattering properties, product specification is carried out whether qualified judgement (step S105). thus, the pattern 109 that does not satisfy set whether qualified judgment standard is judged as NG (step S106), and only has the pattern 109 that meets (clear) whether qualified judgment standard to be judged as OK (step S107).
And,, also can make objective table 102 tilt to measure in order to study scattering properties in great detail. thus, can further study scattering properties meticulously.
Like this, because in the manufacturing process of reflection-type of seeking high reflectivity and good scattering properties or semi-transmission type display panels, can measure, check the reflection characteristic and the scattering properties of pixel display part efficiently at short notice, so, can make reflection-type bright, that display quality is high or semi-transmission type display panels efficiently.
And, not under the state of the display panels finished final cutting out from substrate, but under the pattern arrangement of a plurality of display panels is formed on state on the substrate, reflection characteristic and scattering properties to reflectance coating are measured, so, can check out good product, defective products at short notice.Therefore, the manufacturing cost (cost) that has taken place to reflect under the situation that shows defective products can be suppressed to be Min..
And, utilize whether qualified in the measurement result of intensity of reflected light to judge and at first carry out first screening, thereby can only will meet the determination object of the OK product of this first screening as final scattering properties. thus, can carry out the whether qualified of pattern 109 that display panels uses efficiently judges. therefore, by shortening the supervision time of pattern 109, throughput rate is improved.
In addition, in the present embodiment, will be from the incident angle of second lighting source 105 as a condition, but also can be used as two more than the condition.That is, after the scattering properties of the pattern 109 that is judged as OK is measured, objective table 102 is moved along the Z direction.That is to say, the distance between second lighting source 105 and the substrate 101 is changed, can similarly carry out scattering properties once more and measure. thus, can obtain more detailed measurement result, thereby can carry out more careful whether qualifiedly judging.
And the emphasis of product specification does not lie in scattering properties, during intensity of reflected light under only having set arbitrarily angled θ, can omit scattering properties yet and measure. promptly, also the result that can only measure by reflection characteristic carries out the whether qualified of pattern 109 and judges.
And, also can omit reflection characteristic and measure, and only measure scattering properties.The intensity of reflected light of arbitrarily angled Φ that can be by the result that obtains now, carrying out the whether qualified of intensity of reflected light judges. in addition, also can carry out the analysis of the scattering properties of NG pattern by measuring the scattering properties that becomes the pattern of NG in the reflection characteristic mensuration.
Like this, the apparatus for measuring reflectance 100 that present embodiment is related has reflection measurement portion 107 and diffuse transmission measuring portion 108 concurrently in same device (unit).Therefore, can obtain easily determining at short notice the intensity of reflected light in the real estate the Two dimensional Distribution data, measure reflection characteristic and can efficiently measure the manufacture method of apparatus for measuring reflectance, measuring reflectance method and the display panel of scattering properties.
