For easy understanding, a laser array in an application scenario of the embodiment of the present application is described first, where the laser array includes at least 3 lasers with fixed relative positions. The laser devices of the laser array are arranged in a non-overlapping manner along the vertical projection point of the vertical direction (namely, the projection point of the laser spot in the vertical direction is required to ensure that the scanning traces of the laser spot in the vertical direction are not overlapped), and the labels are sequentially ordered. In the embodiment of the present application, the horizontal direction refers to a direction parallel to the pixel row of the image to be formed on the exposure surface or a plane parallel to the exposure surface, and the vertical direction refers to a direction perpendicular to the selected horizontal direction on the exposure surface or a plane parallel to the exposure surface.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of a method for detecting a laser spot offset in a laser array according to an embodiment of the present application may include:
s101: the lasers in the laser array are divided into a plurality of first-class calibration groups and second-class calibration groups by N, (N+1) equal interval pairwise combinations, and each of the first-class calibration groups and the second-class calibration groups comprises two non-adjacent lasers which are respectively used for calibrating the lasers and the target lasers.
The applicant has noted that to increase the efficiency of laser imaging, the spacing between adjacent lasers in a laser array is often designed to be very small, on the order of about 1 mm, and the scan marks of adjacent lasers are not easily discernable and identifiable. In order to improve the identification degree of laser scanning traces, the applicant proposes to measure the offset of a laser spot in the horizontal direction by adopting two lasers which are mutually spaced to scan and expose to form a specific multi-line segment array, so that the distance between a calibration laser and a target laser is increased. When the laser array comprises more than 3 lasers with fixed relative positions, the lasers can be divided into a plurality of first-type calibration groups and second-type calibration groups at intervals of N, (N+1) and the like, and each calibration group comprises a calibration laser and a target laser. When N is a positive integer, for example, when N is 1, the lasers 1 and 3, 2 and 4, and 3 and 5 may be grouped, and all lasers are grouped by analogy to form each first class calibration group, and meanwhile, the lasers 1 and 4, 2 and 5, and 3 and 6 are grouped, and all lasers are grouped by analogy to form each second class calibration group.
S102: and sequentially controlling all the lasers in the first type calibration group and all the lasers in the second type calibration group to perform calibration operation, wherein projections of the scanned areas of the two adjacent calibration groups in the laser scanning direction are not overlapped.
After grouping, all the lasers in the first type calibration group and all the lasers in the second type calibration group can be controlled in sequence to perform calibration operation. In order to avoid confusion of scanning traces of two adjacent calibration groups, the projections of the scanned areas of the two adjacent calibration groups in the laser scanning direction can be controlled to be non-overlapping. As shown in fig. 2, adjacent calibration groups 1 (No. 1, no. 3) and 2 (No. 2, no. 4) of the first calibration group do not overlap in the horizontal direction, while the interval calibration groups 1 (No. 1 and 3) and 3 (No. 3 and 5) can be projected to overlap in the horizontal direction and do not overlap in the vertical direction. It should be noted that, in the above example, only the scanning traces of the calibration groups 1 and 2 are distributed in the non-overlapping area with the same length, in practical application, more scanning traces of the calibration groups may be distributed in the horizontal direction with the same length, for example, the scanning traces of adjacent 3, 4 or more calibration groups may be distributed in the horizontal direction with the same length, which is not limited in this embodiment.
The specific calibration operation of each calibration group (first-type calibration group and second-type calibration group) can comprise: controlling the calibration lasers and the target lasers to expose pixel points on the photosensitive coating at equal intervals of a spacing S1 and a spacing S2 along the laser scanning direction (X direction shown in figure 2) respectively, so that the pixel points exposed by the lasers in each calibration group (a first calibration group and a second calibration group) form a main scale linear array and an auxiliary scale linear array in adjacent or partially overlapped areas of the photosensitive coating, wherein the main scale linear array and the auxiliary scale linear array respectively comprise a plurality of line segments perpendicular to the laser scanning direction and at equal intervals, the spacing is S1 and S2 respectively, and S1 is larger than S2; when the target laser calibrates a plurality of calibration points on the target line segment L1, a plurality of points synchronously calibrated in a first area by the corresponding calibration laser are recorded to form a line segment L0 in the main scale linear array, a line segment L2 which is aligned with any line segment of the main scale linear array first in the auxiliary scale linear array is determined along the laser scanning direction, and a distance D1 between the L2 and the L0 and a distance D2 between the L2 and the L1 are recorded. The first type calibration group and the second type calibration group respectively form an image containing a main ruler linear array and an auxiliary ruler linear array.
Illustratively, as a possible implementation, recording the distance D1 between L2 and L0 includes: sequentially establishing a mapping relation between a group of numerical values in an arithmetic sequence with an initial value of zero and a tolerance of S1 and each line segment arranged along the laser scanning direction in the main ruler linear array; determining a line segment L3 nearest to L1 in the main scale linear array along the direction opposite to the laser scanning direction; obtaining mapping values X0 and X3 of L0 and L3 according to the mapping relation; when the number N of S2 at the interval between L2 and L1 is determined, d1=x3—x0+n×s1, d2=n×s2, and t= |d1-d2|= |x3—x0+ (S1-S2) ×n|. Referring to fig. 2, taking an image formed by the first calibration set as an example, in the left side of fig. 2 (the linear array formed by the lasers No. 1 and No. 3), s1=6, s2=5, x3=x0=18, d1=x3-x0+n×s1=18-18+4×6=24, d2=n×s2= 4*5 =20, t=4, and the spot center of the target laser advances by 4 pixel distances along the laser scanning direction; on the right side of fig. 2 (the linear array formed by lasers No. 2 and No. 4), s1=6, s2=5, x3=12, x0=18, d1=12-18+2×6=6, d2=n×s2= 2*5 =10, t= |6-10|=4, and the spot center of the target laser is 4 pixel distances after the laser scanning direction.
Illustratively, as a possible implementation, recording the distance D1 between L2 and L0 includes: and sequentially establishing a mapping relation between a group of numerical values in an arithmetic series with the initial value of zero and the tolerance of S1 and each line segment arranged along the laser scanning direction in the main scale linear array, acquiring mapping values X0 and X2 of L0 and L2 according to the mapping relation, determining the number N of S2 at intervals between L2 and L1, and determining the offset T= D1-D2 of the spot center of the target laser relative to the spot center of the calibration laser in the laser scanning direction, wherein D1 = X2-X0-N = S2. Taking the image formed by the first calibration group as an example, in the left side of fig. 2 (the linear array formed by the lasers No. 1 and No. 3), s1=6, s2=5, d1=x2-x0=42-18=24, d2=n×s2= 4*5 =20, p=24-20=4, and the spot center of the target laser is advanced by 4 pixel distances along the laser scanning direction; on the right side of fig. 2 (the formed linear array of lasers No. 2 and No. 4), s1=6, s2=5, d1=24-18=6, d2= 2*5 =10, t= |6-10|=4, and the spot center of the target laser is 4 pixels distance after the laser scanning direction.
S103: according to P i = |d 1-D2| and Q i Calculating offset P of spot centers of target lasers and calibration lasers in the first calibration group in the laser scanning direction respectively by using = |D 1-D2| i And the offset Q of the target laser and the spot center of the calibration laser in the laser scanning direction in each second type calibration group i

Where i in the formula herein is a positive integer.
S104: and calculating the offset of the spot centers of the adjacent lasers in the laser scanning direction according to the formula Ti= -Qi-Pi.
After the offset Pi of the first calibration group and the offset Qi of the respective second calibration group are obtained, the method is performed according to the formula T i The offset of the spot centers of adjacent lasers in the laser scanning direction is calculated by = |qi-pi|. Wherein, here, formula T i I is a positive integer greater than n+1, identifying the offset between adjacent lasers in the horizontal direction.
Exemplary, known P i (X3-X1), (X4-X2),(X5-X3), (X6-X4), (X7-X5), (X8-X6); known Q i (X4-X1), (X5-X2), (X6-X3), (X7-X4), (X8-X5), (X9-X6), then the following can be obtained:
T 3 =Q 3 -P 3 =(X4-X1)-(X3-X1);
T 4 =Q 4 -P 4 =(X5-X2)-(X4-X2);
T 5 =Q 5 -P 5 =(X6-X3)-(X5-X3);
T 6 =Q 6 -P 6 =(X7-X4)-(X6-X4);
T 7 =Q 7 -P 7 =(X8-X5)-(X7-X5);

In the detection method provided by the embodiment of the application, the detection precision of the offset is the difference value of the interval distance of the scanning calibration of the two lasers, and the precision of the difference value of the interval distance can reach the pixel level, so that the detection precision is greatly improved. In addition, the non-overlapping scanning areas of a plurality of adjacent calibration groups are divided in the horizontal direction of the same length, so that the scanning patterns of the adjacent calibration groups are projected in the horizontal direction and are not overlapped, the identifiable degree of laser scanning marks is improved, the detection precision is increased, the scanning breadth required by calibration is reduced, and photoresist consumables are saved.
