Third embodiment of the invention provides a kind of employing laser cutting method that the first described laser cutting device 100 counter plates 10 of embodiment cut, and this laser cutting method comprises the following steps (1) ~ (6).
(1) along utilizing laser beam to shine this work surface by this cutting groove along a pre-determined direction, to form a heating zone on this work surface.
As shown in Figure 1, heating zone H is positioned at the junction that H is positioned at this work surface 101 and this side 102.
(2) this heating zone is carried out cooling so that this substrate forms a blind crackle along this pre-determined direction.
When cooling jet 13 during along heating zone H shower cooling medium, this substrate 10B is upper forms blind crackle BC.Be understandable that, as shown in Figure 2, this blind crackle BC is can be respectively in the same plane with two adjacent chromatic filter layer 10A corresponding two relative sides 102.For example, this blind crackle BC can be positioned at the side 102 in cutting groove 10C left side, or is positioned at the side 102 on cutting groove 10C right side.
(3) by this blind crackle emission one light beam of a side direction wherein in this blind crackle relative both sides, with this blind crackle of irradiation unobstructedly.
For the blind crackle BC that is positioned at cutting groove 10C right side, when exposing to this blind crackle BC due to the light beam of secondary light source 170 emission by the right side of blind crackle BC, this light beam easily is subjected to the absorption of chromatic filter layer and black matrix" (not shown) in chromatic filter layer 10A or blocks, make the second image sensor 172 be difficult to sense the light beam that blind crackle BC reflects, therefore, can adopt the first light source 150 emission light beams.The light beam of these the first light source 150 emissions can be exposed to by the left side of blind crackle BC this blind crackle BC, and therefore, the light beam of the first light source 150 emissions reflection can occur on blind crackle BC and accurately sensed by the first image sensor 152.On the contrary, when blind crackle BC is positioned at the left side of cutting groove 10C, can adopt secondary light source 170 emission light beams.This light beam can be exposed to by the right side of blind crackle BC this blind crackle BC, and this light beam reflection occurs on blind crackle BC and accurately sensed by the second image sensor 172.

When blind crackle BC is positioned at the right side of cutting groove 10C, adopt the first image sensor 152 to obtain the image of this blind crackle BC; When blind crackle BC is formed on the left side that is positioned at cutting groove 10C, adopt the second image sensor 172 to obtain the image of this blind crackle BC.
The image of the blind crackle of benchmark that image and that (5) will this blind crackle prestores compares, and whether reaches predetermined depth to detect this blind crackle.
When the image of the blind crackle BC that obtains matches with the blind crackle of benchmark that prestores, show that this blind crackle BC reaches predetermined depth, can isolate required sub-panel this moment along this blind crackle BC.On the contrary, when the image of the blind crackle BC that obtains fails to coincide with the blind crackle of benchmark that prestores, show that this blind crackle BC fails to reach predetermined depth, operator's capable of regulating cutting condition, for example, the power of laser beam, the speed that laser beam moves along pre-determined direction X etc. are so that this blind crackle BC reaches predetermined depth.
When this blind crackle BC reaches predetermined depth, can adopt machinery or manual mode to be isolated a plurality of sub-panels that comprise respectively a chromatic filter layer 10A by this panel 10.Be understandable that, the operator also can further cut each sub-panel, for example, adopts complete disconnected cutting, makes sub-panel form and runs through the crackle of its upper and lower surface, thereby isolate the less a plurality of sub-panels of size by this sub-panel.
Be understandable that, the operator also can adopt the second described laser cutting device 200 counter plates 10 of embodiment to cut.
Laser cutting device 100 provided by the present invention, 200 is respectively by arranging the second image pickup unit 17,27,15,25, one of first image pickup unit, and image process unit 19,29 detects blind crackle BC and whether reaches predetermined depth, with the generation of the blind crackle BC of accurate control, make the sub-panel that separates panel 10 rear gained have better cutting accuracy.In addition, this first light source 150,250, and secondary light source 170,270 is selectively launched the light beam that exposes to this blind crackle BC, the light beam that this first image sensor 152,252, the second image sensor 172,272 corresponding sensings are reflected by this blind crackle BC, thereby can overcome the defective that the light beam that is emitted on blind crackle BC can't detect due to the absorption of chromatic filter layer 10A or barrier effect, adopt this laser cutting device 100,200 laser cutting method therefore to have sensing range widely.
Be understandable that, for the person of ordinary skill of the art, can make other various corresponding changes and distortion by technical conceive according to the present invention, and all these change and distortion all should belong to the protection domain of claim of the present invention.
