Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B are shown in the device according to the preferred embodiment of the invention for detecting liquid crystal coating state The view of the arrangement of polarization plates.
As shown in Figure 3A, the first polarization plates 22 and the second polarization plates 32 may be disposed so that their polarization direction is consistent with each other. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 3 B, the first polarization plates 22 and the second polarization plates 32 can be arranged so that their polarization direction is hung down mutually Directly.However, according to one embodiment of present invention, the polarization direction of the first polarization plates 22 and the polarization direction of the second polarization plates 32 Between angle be not limited to Fig. 3 A or Fig. 3 B angle, but can be adjusted in the range of from 0 ° to 90 °, as long as coating can be improved To the picture quality of the liquid crystal of substrate 12.
In the present invention, the first polarization plates 22 are arranged on the light output mouth of light source 20 and the second polarization plates 32 are arranged on The reason for detecting on the leading section of camera 30 is as follows:
The state of matter of liquid crystal has the property between liquid and crystal, also referred to as quasicrystal or anisotropic liquid. Although liquid crystal is liquid, but optically have the property of crystal.If electric field is applied to liquid crystal, the direction of molecules align Sexually revise.For LCD by controlling the penetrating come display image of light, this make use of the liquid crystal molecule edge when voltage is applied to liquid crystal molecule The property of equidirectional orientation.
Nematic liquid crystal is the most frequently used in an lcd.In nematic liquid crystal, rod shaped liquid crystal molecule is orientated along direction unanimous on the whole, And do not have hierarchy.Most of liquid crystal molecule has strong (hard bar) shape.Liquid crystal has optical anisotropy Property, i.e., there is different refractivity on the direction parallel to molecular axis and the direction perpendicular to molecular axis.These properties make partially The light to shake changes its polarization direction when through liquid crystal.In an lcd, electric field is applied to liquid crystal by by arranging liquid in the form of desired Crystalline substance, so as to control penetrating for light.
In the case of liquid crystal coating on the substrate 12, liquid crystal is also arranged as to a certain degree when electric field is not applied It is upper that there is directionality.For example, when on the substrate 12 being coated on liquid crystal by friction treatment, the oriented friction side of liquid crystal To possibility it is very big.When the liquid crystal of substrate 12 of the detection Jing Guo friction treatment is coated with state, the polarization of the first polarization plates 22 Direction may be configured as the frictional direction corresponding to substrate 12.Because the possibility pole of the oriented frictional direction of liquid crystal Greatly.
Consideration is polarized and then is radiated by the first polarization plates 22 from the light that light source 20 is sent the situation of substrate 12.If Water drippage is on the substrate 12 rather than liquid crystal, then and the light polarized by the first polarization plates 22 is reflected and reflected in water droplet, but not Change its polarization direction.However, if liquid crystal falls on the substrate 12, then the light polarized by the first polarization plates 22 is due to liquid crystal And change its polarization direction, and the light for changing polarization direction will incide detection camera 30.Here, changed by liquid crystal Polarization direction can have different directions.
When the first polarization plates 22 and the second polarization plates 32 have polarization direction as shown in Figure 3A, reflected by substrate 12 Light will incide detection camera 30 in the case of the polarization direction of light is immovable.Therefore, shot by detection camera 30 The image in the region of substrate 12 will be bright.On the contrary, by liquid crystalline refractive and the light of reflection by the feelings of the change of polarized direction of light Detection camera 30 is incided under condition so that some light are not passed through the second polarization plates 32.As a result, the part with liquid crystal will compare base The region of plate 12 is dark.In addition, when the first polarization plates 22 and the second polarization plates 32 have polarization direction as shown in Figure 3 B, by base The light that plate 12 reflects will incide detection camera 30 in the case of its polarization direction is immovable.Therefore, light is by the second polarization Plate 32 stops so that the image in the region of the substrate 12 shot by detection camera 30 will be dark.On the contrary, by liquid crystalline refractive and The light of reflection will incide detection camera 30 in the case of its change of polarized direction.Therefore, some light polarize through second Plate 32 so that have the part of liquid crystal that the region than substrate 12 is bright.This principle allows detection camera 30 more clearly to know Liquid crystal 13 on the substrate 12 is not coated with.
Fig. 4 is to show to be taken a picture by the detection according to the preferred embodiment of the invention for being used to detect the device of liquid crystal coating state The view of the example images of machine shooting.
In Fig. 4, the polarization direction of the first polarization plates 22 and the second polarization plates 32 uses Fig. 3 A direction, and area is swept Retouch camera and be used as detection camera 30.In the image that detection camera 30 is shot, it is bright that the region of substrate 12, which is shown, and The display of liquid crystal 13 is dark.As a result, it also can clearly grasp liquid crystal in the case of image is not handled extraly and apply cloth-like State.
Fig. 5 is to show to be used to control in the device according to the preferred embodiment of the invention for being used to detect liquid crystal coating state The block diagram of the structure of the polarization plates of image-acquisition device.
When obtaining the image of the liquid crystal 13 of coating on the substrate 12, the molecule in liquid crystal 13 can according to circumstances be located In different orientations.Therefore, in order to obtain even clearer picture, it is necessary to adjust the first polarization plates 22 and the second polarization plates 32 Polarization direction.First polarization plates 22 are arranged on the light output mouth of light source 20 so that may be not easily adjusted the first polarization plates 22. Meanwhile second polarization plates 32 be attached to detection camera 30 leading section so that can manually or automatically rotate the second polarization Plate 32 and be easily adjusted polarization direction.According to one embodiment of present invention, the first polarization plates 22 rather than the second polarization plates 32 can be rotatable, or the first polarization plates 22 and the second polarization plates 32 be able to can rotate naturally.
In Figure 5, tumbler 44 is arranged to rotate the second polarization plates 32, and control unit 40 controls tumbler 44 Rotation.As an example of tumbler 44, tumbler 44 can be arranged so that it includes motor (not shown) and company It is connected to the travelling gear of motor, and the form of gear tooth is on the periphery of the second polarization plates 32, with inclined by revolution second Vibration plate 32.Control unit 40 drives tumbler 44 to rotate the second polarization plates 32, so as to obtain image from detection camera 30. The image and the angle of the second polarization plates 32 of setting that the analysis of control unit 40 obtains, in the angle lcd segment and substrate portion shape Into clear contrast.As an example of the graphical analysis carried out by control unit 40, the histogram analysis of image can be carried out.Such as The contrast of fruit image is high, then the substrate portion and lcd segment for meaning image form clear contrast each other.In the case, The histogram distribution scope of image is wide.
