Description

Laser repair device for display panel
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of display, in particular to laser repair equipment for a display panel.
Background
In the manufacturing process of the flat panel display panel, repair plays a very important role in improving the yield, so that each engineering section can be repaired, and laser is a common repair means. Due to the abnormality of the TFT/LTPS substrate, point defects and line defects can be caused, after a liquid crystal panel is formed into a box or an OLED panel is packaged, the defects can only be processed on the TFT/LTPS circuit through the substrate (generally a glass substrate) by laser, and the point defects and the line defects are repaired by utilizing the principle of the circuit.
The current equipment for such repairs is constructed as follows: the laser and the corresponding light path are arranged on the portal frame and can move in the Z direction; the portal frame can move in X, Y two directions; the corresponding transmission light source is arranged below the base station and can move in the direction of X, Y, and the laser head and the transmission light source are kept at the same position and act simultaneously by software. In order to ensure that the transmission light source can irradiate the panel, the base station is made of transparent materials. Wherein, for with robotic arm butt joint, there is elevating system or strip glass stick structure, so transparent base station need carry out fretwork in corresponding place and handle.
However, the above apparatus is only applicable to the case where the TFT/LTPS substrate of the corresponding panel is placed upward, and both the previous process and the subsequent process of the repair process are performed in a manner where the TFT/LTPS substrate is placed downward, and therefore, it is necessary to add a panel inversion function to the laser repair apparatus.
For turning over the panel, the following three methods are generally adopted at present:
(1) the equipment is added with a panel turnover unit: the substrate is placed on the overturning unit by the mechanical arm, overturned and then placed on the equipment base platform;
(2) adding a panel turnover machine: the mechanical arm puts the substrate on a turnover machine, and the substrate is transferred to the equipment substrate after being turned over;
(3) use robotic arm with flip function: the robot takes the glass from the clip/pallet, flips it over, and then places it on the equipment base.
The tact time of the whole apparatus is greatly prolonged due to the need of the turning step. In addition, the apparatus using the above scheme (as described in chinese utility model patent No. ZL 201820758651.0, "a liquid crystal panel laser repair apparatus") still has the following disadvantages:
(1) the laser and the optical path are placed on the movable portal frame, certain vibration and shaking can occur, particularly when the laser and the optical path move together with the portal frame, the vibration is relatively larger, if the influence of the vibration and shaking on the repairing process needs to be reduced, certain stabilization time is needed, and thus the beat time is prolonged.
(2) Because the base station using large-area transparent material is generally used for ensuring the transmission light source passing rate, the glass material is used for ensuring the strength and the flatness of the base station, the cost of the glass base station is higher, once the base station is damaged, the replacement cost is high, the hardness of the glass is higher, and the base plate is easily scratched.
(3) The transmittance of the transmission light source of the hollow part on the base station is inconsistent with that of other parts of the base station, different process conditions are required to be used for the transmission light source at the moment, the difficulty is caused to the search of the process conditions, and particularly, the transmission light source is more complex for automatic repair and is not beneficial to the improvement of the repair success rate.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
In order to solve the problem of prolonged beat time caused by turnover and large-range movement, the laser repair equipment for the display panel provided by the invention can realize that the panel does not need to be turned over and the movement of an optical path is reduced by using conventional components, thereby saving the beat time.
Referring to fig. 1, a laser repairing apparatus for a display panel according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a base, a laser repairing assembly and a transmitting assembly, wherein the laser repairing assembly includes a laser 10, a corresponding transmissive light source 20, a reflective light source (not shown) and a camera (image capturing device), the laser 10 and the transmissive light source 20 are correspondingly disposed on a Z-axis, the laser 10 is disposed below the transmissive light source 20, the transmissive light source 20 is disposed above the transmissive light source 10, the laser 10 and the corresponding transmissive light source 20 are respectively disposed above and below a display panel 50 to be repaired, the reflective light source is disposed beside the laser 10 and moves together with the laser 10 to provide reflected light for the laser, and the camera shoots the display panel 50 to be repaired, so that the portion of the display panel 50 to be repaired can be clearly displayed.
The conveying assembly comprises a conveying belt 30 and a clamping mechanism 40, wherein the two sections of conveying belts 30 are arranged at intervals in the Y-axis direction and are disconnected at the Z-axis connecting line of the laser 10 and the transmission light source 20. The clamping mechanism 40 positions the display panel 50 on the conveyor 30 such that the position of the display panel 50 is restricted to stably move on the conveyor 30 in the Y-axis direction in a predetermined manner.
The chucking mechanism is provided beside the conveyor 30 to restrict the position of the display panel 50 on the conveyor 30 in the X-axis direction. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping driving mechanism for clamping and unclamping the display panel 50 and a conveying driving mechanism for realizing synchronous conveyance with the conveyor belt 30 in the Y-axis direction. The clamping mechanism 40 can be used in various ways, generally, a conventional clamping mechanism can be used, and the specific use needs to consider the state of the panel, such as flexibility or rigidity of the panel, and the thickness of the panel, and the use state is different according to the state of the panel. In the illustrated embodiment, the clamping mechanism 40 may not affect the limited area of the panel.
The laser 10 and the corresponding optical path are arranged at the lower part of the equipment, and the laser 10 only needs to move in the X direction (perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 30) except for the Z direction; the laser 10 does not require the use of a gantry. Movement of the laser 10 in the X-axis direction may be accomplished by a motor. Specifically, the movement of the laser 10 in the X-axis direction may be realized by a linear motor, and the laser 10 is fixed on a mover of the motor. Alternatively, the laser 10 is moved in the X-axis direction by using a servo motor accelerator/decelerator connected to a lead screw through a transmission mechanism such as a belt or a gear, and the laser 10 is fixed to a slide table that moves on the lead screw.
The transmission light source 20 is correspondingly arranged above the conveyor belt 30 (base station), and the transmission light source 20 only moves in the X direction, so that the laser head of the laser 10 and the transmission light source 20 are kept at the same position in the Z direction and simultaneously act. The movement of the transmission light source 20 in the X-axis direction may be achieved by a motor. Specifically, the movement of the transmission light source 20 in the X-axis direction may be achieved by a linear motor, and the transmission light source 20 is fixed on a mover of the motor. Alternatively, the transmission light source 20 is moved in the X-axis direction by using a servo motor and a speed reducer, the speed reducer is connected to a screw rod through a transmission mechanism such as a belt or a gear, the slide table is moved on the screw rod, and the transmission light source 20 is fixed to the slide table.
To ensure that the transmissive light source 20 can irradiate the display panel 50, two conveyor belts 30 (conveyor rollers) are used as a base station, and are matched with the corresponding clamping mechanisms 40, and the two conveyor belts 30 simultaneously carry the display panel 50 to move in the Y direction. The display panel 50 is carried in and out of the laser repair apparatus by the robot, and the number of robots and the number of robot arms are generally calculated based on the beat matching of the apparatus.
In order to butt joint the robot arm corresponding to the display panel 50, the conveyor belt 30 adopts a grouping design in the X direction, so that the time for the jacking mechanism to ascend and descend can be reduced compared with the prior art which adopts the jacking mechanism to accept the display panel to the equipment on the equipment base. The spacing between two adjacent conveyors 30 in the X direction is related to the robot arm of the corresponding display panel 50. Since the width of the robot corresponding to the display panel 50 is fixed, the distance between the robots is adjustable, and thus the distance between two adjacent conveyor belts 30 in the X direction should be greater than the width of the robot. In fact, the distance between two adjacent conveyor belts 30 in the X direction is equal to the width of the robot arm plus the left and right margins of the robot arm. The actual left and right margins of the robot arm slightly vary from robot arm to robot arm.
Thus, the display panel 50 can be directly repaired without being turned over when it is put into the apparatus. In addition, the laser 10 is small in motion (only needs to move in the X-axis direction), so that the vibration of the optical path is reduced, and the stabilization time can be shortened.
Referring to fig. 2, if one laser repair module (laser 10 and corresponding transmission light source 20) of one laser repair apparatus needs to correspond to multiple display panels 50 at the same time, multiple sets of conveying modules (conveyor 30 and clamping mechanism 40) can be arranged. If the two groups of the laser repairing devices are divided, a group of conveying components (the conveying belt 30 and the clamping mechanism 40) is added in the X-axis direction, and at the moment, one group of laser repairing components of one laser repairing device can correspond to the repairing of the two display panels 50. That is, the intervals of the conveyor belts 30 in each group of conveyor assemblies are aligned in the X-axis direction, and after the movement of the laser repairing assembly in the X-axis direction completes the repairing of one display panel 50 on one group of conveyor assemblies, the laser repairing assembly can continue to move along the X-axis direction to repair another display panel 50 on another group of conveyor assemblies. One set of laser repair components of other laser repair equipment can correspond to the repair condition of a plurality of display panels, and the like.
Compared with the prior art, the laser repair equipment for the display panel at least has the following advantages:
(1) the laser is arranged below the panel, and the transmission light source is arranged above the panel, so that a turnover machine, a turnover unit and a mechanical arm turnover mechanism are not needed, and the overall equipment investment is reduced;
(2) the time required by turning is saved, the beat time of the equipment is shortened, and the productivity of the equipment is improved;
(3) the large-area transparent base station is not used, the conventional components are adopted, additional customized components are not needed, the cost is low, and the maintenance is easier if the abnormal condition occurs;
