When the position area of the pixel circuit unit of the display panel is covered by the mask layer, the controller directly determines the arrangement mode of the light spots in the area to be processed according to the structural information of the area to be processed of the display panel and the light spot size of the laser beam.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, at least part of the position areas of the pixel circuit units in the display panel are obtained, and the arrangement method of the laser spots in the rest areas except the at least part of the position areas of the pixel circuit units in the area to be processed is determined, so that the pixel circuit units can be avoided during laser processing, the light transmittance of the area to be processed is improved to the maximum extent, meanwhile, the damage of the laser etching cathode to the positions of the pixel circuit units is avoided, the influence of the laser processing on the display effect of the display panel is reduced, and the arrangement mode of the spots in the area to be processed of the display panel can be determined under the condition that the pixel circuit units of the display panel are completely covered by the mask layer, so that the accurate positioning during the laser processing is realized.
In one embodiment, the obtaining the structural information of the area to be processed of the display panel includes:
acquiring an image of a display panel;
and determining the position of the structure of the area to be processed in the image according to the position information of the image pickup assembly in the display panel, wherein the image pickup assembly corresponds to the structure of the area to be processed.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the structure of the to-be-processed area of the display panel is obtained, an image of the display panel is obtained, the to-be-processed area on the display panel is determined according to the position information of the preset camera assembly on the display panel, and the structure of the to-be-processed area is determined according to the image of the display panel. The preset position information of the camera shooting assembly on the display panel is a position information relation obtained by determining the position of the camera shooting assembly on the display panel according to an actual scene. The structure of the region to be processed may include, but is not limited to, shape information of the region to be processed, size information of the region to be processed, and position information of the pixel line unit in the region to be processed.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the position and the structure of the area to be processed are determined according to the image and the position information of the preset camera shooting assembly on the display panel by acquiring the image of the display panel, so that the accurate positioning of the area to be processed in laser processing can be realized, and the possibility of damage to the normal display area in the display panel in processing is reduced.
In one embodiment, the arrangement includes: arranging the light spots on the area to be processed, and enabling the center distance of two adjacent light spots after arrangement to be in a preset value or a preset range; further, the light spots may be arranged on the to-be-processed area according to a preset condition, and the center distance between two adjacent light spots after being arranged is within a preset value or a preset range.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, after the structure of the area to be processed and the spot size of the laser beam are obtained, the spots need to be arranged. At the time of arrangement, in general, the distance between the centers of the next spot and the previous spot is set to a preset value or a preset range. The preset value is generally equal to the spot diameter, and the preset range is generally set to a region around the spot diameter. For example, when the lower limit of the preset range is smaller than the spot diameter, the upper limit of the preset range is larger than or equal to the spot diameter. When the lower limit of the preset range is equal to the spot diameter, the upper limit of the preset range is larger than the spot diameter. When the lower limit of the preset range is larger than the spot diameter, the upper limit of the preset range is larger than the spot diameter. The boundary of the light spot does not exceed the edge of the area to be processed. When the next light spot cannot be adjacently arranged with the previous light spot, the next light spot is generally arranged next to the edge of the area to be processed along the arrangement direction determined according to the actual scene. Further, the preset condition is that the size of the gap after the arrangement of the adjacent light spots is reduced to the greatest extent according to the structure and the light spot size of the area to be processed. In one example, after the arrangement is completed, no more light spots can be arranged in any number in the region other than the arrangement of light spots in the region to be processed. In another example, the arrangement is such that the number of spots is maximized, and accordingly, it is set that as many spots as possible are arranged in the area to be processed until no more arrangement is possible.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the light spots are arranged along the preset condition, the center distance between the adjacent light spots is controlled, the arrangement number of the light spots is enabled to be maximum, and the light spots can occupy the area of the area to be processed to the greatest extent when being arranged, so that the light transmittance of the display panel after laser processing is improved, and the use effect of the area to be processed is ensured. In other embodiments, the spot shape may be rectangular, elongated, oval, or the like.
In one embodiment, the area to be machined is typically scoped by an image detection system prior to machining, avoiding damage to other areas that do not have to be machined. And then, reasonably planning the arrangement mode of the laser spots according to the shape of the area to be processed and the size of the actually adopted laser spots so as to ensure that the laser spots are in the range of the processing area as much as possible, the external area is not damaged, certain energy coverage uniformity is ensured, and the processing effect is ensured. When a product to be processed is processed, a laser emits a laser beam, the laser beam is transmitted to a display panel after passing through a collimation beam expanding unit, a scanning vibrating mirror and a focusing lens, is incident from a substrate surface, passes through a gap between the substrate and an anode layer and a mask layer and a gap between pixel circuit units on an organic light-emitting layer, is focused to a cathode layer for scanning, and has high energy density after laser focusing, so that partial metal cathode materials which are not covered by orthographic projection of the mask layer can be accurately removed near a processing focus, and the thermal influence is small. Because the mask layer adopts high-melting point metal, the damage of laser to the pixels and the luminous pixel circuit units can be prevented, and the normal display of the product is ensured.
