Description
The present invention relates to an LED inspection apparatus and an LED inspection method using the same, and more particularly, to an LED inspection apparatus capable of inspecting whether or not a white LED having a fluorescent substance applied thereto is defective and an LED inspection method using the same.
In general, LED refers to a light emitting device using a semiconductor. The color of light generated here is determined by the semiconductor material, and the color of light in the image is a light source close to monochromatic light, but not as much as a laser.
Among the LEDs as described above, white LEDs are smaller than conventional light sources, and consume less power, have a semi-permanent lifespan, have no response time, have a fast response speed, and emit less harmful waves such as ultraviolet rays. As it is not used, it is expected to be an environmentally friendly lighting source.
As a method of implementing a white LED as a white light emitting diode (LED) as described above, in general, a multi-chip method of combining two LEDs having complementary colors or combining a plurality of LED chips to obtain a white color is used. Recently, a single chip method of obtaining white by applying a fluorescent material to a blue or ultraviolet LED chip has been used.
In the white LED coated with the fluorescent material, foreign matters are included in the fluorescent material during manufacturing, and the phenomenon in which the fluorescent material is applied to the outside of the body forming the sidewalls of the LED chip is generated. These defect inspections were generally dependent on the human eye.
However, the body forming the sidewall of the white LED chip is usually formed in white so that both the body and the fluorescent material have a bright color. Therefore, it is very difficult for the inspector to identify the state in which the fluorescent material is applied to the outside of the body with the naked eye, which causes a problem that the defect inspection time is very long.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an LED inspection apparatus and an LED inspection method using the same, which can quickly and accurately identify whether a foreign substance is included in a white LED containing a fluorescent substance and a poor coating of the fluorescent substance.
An LED inspection apparatus according to the present invention includes a stage for supporting and transporting a test object mounted with a plurality of white LED chips coated with a fluorescent material; At least one lighting unit irradiating the inspection object with illumination so that a boundary between the fluorescent material applied to the white LED chips and the white LED chip body can be clearly identified; A camera installed at an upper portion of the stage to receive light reflected from the illumination unit and then reflected from the lighting unit to take an image of the inspection object; And a controller for controlling whether the white LED chip mounted on the inspection object is defective by mapping the image acquired by the camera and the previously input image while controlling the stage and the lighting unit.
For example, the illumination unit emits ultraviolet wavelengths to further enhance the fluorescence of the fluorescent material applied to the white LED chips so that the boundary between the fluorescent material and the white LED chip body formed of the white series is clearly identified. Black light can be used.
The test object may be, for example, an LED substrate mounted on a bar-shaped substrate in which the white LED chips extend in one direction.
Alternatively, the inspection object may be an LED substrate in which the white LED chips are mounted at regular intervals on a substrate having a square flat plate shape.
On the other hand, the LED inspection apparatus according to the present invention may further include a defect discharge unit installed to be located on one side of the stage to be electrically connected to the control unit for discharging the inspection object determined to be defective to the outside of the stage.
LED inspection method according to the invention, the step of loading a test object mounted with a white LED chip on the stage; Illuminating the inspection object with an illumination unit so that the boundary between the fluorescent material applied to the white LED chips and the white LED chip body can be clearly identified; Receiving an image reflected by the inspection object by using a camera to obtain an image of the inspection object; And determining whether the inspected object is defective by mapping an image of the inspected object obtained by using the camera with an image of the inspected object previously input through a control unit.
For example, the illumination unit emits ultraviolet wavelengths to further enhance the fluorescence of the fluorescent material applied to the white LED chips, so that the boundary between the fluorescent material and the white LED chip body formed of the white series is clearly identified. You can use lights.
On the other hand, the LED inspection method according to the invention, may further comprise the step of discharging the inspection object determined to be defective through the failure discharge unit to the outside of the stage.
As described above, an LED substrate inspection apparatus and an LED substrate inspection method using the same according to an embodiment of the present invention are applied to an LED chip using black light emitting ultraviolet wavelengths as an illumination unit for irradiating illumination to an inspection object. By further enhancing the fluorescence of the fluorescent material so that the boundary between the fluorescent material and the LED chip body can be clearly identified, an image of the LED substrate is obtained by using a camera to inspect defects of the substrate on which the white LED chip is mounted. In addition to realizing automation, it is possible to drastically reduce defect inspection time, and to perform accurate defect inspection, thereby improving the reliability of the product.
