Abstract

Provided is a dispensing apparatus, which includes a plurality of light emitters spaced apart from each other to emit light, and a sensor part including a plurality of light receivers facing the light emitters and spaced apart from each other to receive the light emitted from the light emitters. The light emitters are disposed such that paths of light beams emitted from the light emitters cross each other, and overlap each other in at least one portion thereof. Thus, deviation in discharging positions of a source material can be reduced to reliably sense the source material. Accordingly, it can be accurately determined whether a liquid crystal is dispensed. In addition, since the difference between the sum of the amounts of light beams emitted from the light emitters and the sum of the amounts of light beams incident to the light receivers is used to determine whether a source material is dispensed, the difference between emitted light intensity and incident light intensity is greater than that of the related art.

INSTRUCTIONS: [RELATED APPLICATIONS] This application claims the priority of the 10th 〇10-0138462 Lin Guo patent application filed on December 3, 2011, and all the proceeds from it according to % USC §119 The content of the patent application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to a dispensing apparatus, and more particularly to a dispensing apparatus capable of accurately sensing whether or not a source material is dispensed. [Prior Art] Generally, a flat display panel is manufactured by bonding a pair of planar substrates together. For example, when manufacturing a liquid crystal display panel, a lower substrate having a thin film transistor and a halogen electrode and an upper substrate having a color chopper and a common electrode are fabricated. Next, the liquid crystal is dispensed on the lower substrate, and the upper substrate and the lower substrate are bonded and sealed to manufacture a liquid crystal display panel. In this case, a liquid crystal dispensing device is used to dispense the liquid crystal on the substrate. Such a liquid crystal dispensing apparatus includes: a stage on which a substrate is placed; a gantry disposed on the 2:; a discharge unit disposed on the gantry and including a nozzle for dispensing liquid crystal; a sensing unit disposed under the discharge unit to sense whether the liquid crystal comprises from the discharge unit: a light-emitting part comprising a beam light receiving H for emitting light, which is separated from the light-emitting zero (four) Light emitted from a light emitter. The light emitter faces the light receiver. The nozzle is placed above the space between the plurality of light emitters 4 201226062 40764pif and the plurality of light receivers. The sensing unit compares the amount of light emitted from the light emitter with the amount of light incident to the light receiver to sense whether liquid crystal is dispensed. For example, when the liquid crystal does not drip from the nozzle, the light beams emitted from the light emitter are respectively incident on the light receiver. Therefore, the amount of light beam emitted from the light emitter is equal to the amount of light beam incident on the light receiver. Thus, when the amount of the light beam emitted from the light emitter is equal to the amount of the light beam incident on the light receiver, it is concluded that the liquid crystal is not distributed. In contrast, when liquid crystal is dispensed from the nozzle, light emitted from one of the light emitters is reflected by the liquid crystal, and thus, is prevented from entering the light receiver, or only a small amount of light is incident on the light receiver. That is, the path of the liquid crystal dripping from the nozzle passes through the path of light emitted from one of the light emitters. Therefore, the light emitted from the light emitter corresponding to the path of the dropped liquid crystal is not incident on the light receiver' or only a part of the light is incident on the light receiver. Therefore, the amount of light emitted from the light emitter corresponding to the path of the dropped liquid crystal is different from the amount of light incident to the light receiver facing the light emitter. Therefore, when the amount of light emitted is different from the amount of incident light, it is concluded that the liquid crystal is assigned. At least a portion of the light emitted from one of the light emitters may not be incident on the light receiver when the liquid crystal is dispensed. In addition, even if the light receiver does not receive light emitted from the light emitter facing the light receiver, the light receiver can receive a portion of the light emitted from another light emitter adjacent to the first light emitter. In this case, the amount of light emitted from the first light emitter may be substantially the same as the amount of light incident to the light receiver facing the first light emitter. Therefore, the difference between the amount of emitted light and the amount of incident light is small. Therefore, even if the liquid crystal is dispensed, it can be concluded that the liquid crystal is unallocated. This possibility 201226062 HU /OHpif makes it difficult to accurately determine whether or not to dispense liquid crystals or to fail to sense the failure of liquid crystal distribution. Therefore, it is possible to execute the processing program without dispensing the liquid crystal, thereby reducing the productivity.

The emitted light may be directed to an open central region of the body of the inductor. The paths of the beams of light emitted from the light emitter may intersect each other in an open central region of the body of the inductor.

For example, light emitted from the light emitter 5121>1 to the dripped liquid crystal is dropped by the liquid crystal Reflected, and therefore not incident on the second light receiver 512〇1. Light emitted from the light emitter 512b-1 but not encountered by the falling liquid crystal is in the opposite direction Propagating in the case of radiation, but not incident on the first light receiver 512c-1. Light emitted from the second and third light emitters 512b-2 and 512b-3 to the dripped liquid crystal is reflected by the dripped liquid crystal, And therefore not incident on the second and third light receivers 512c-2 and 512c-3. Light emitted from the second and third light emitters 512b-2 and 512b-3 but not immersed in the liquid crystal is present Propagating in the case of reflection, but not incident on the second and third photoreceivers 51-2c-2 and 512c-3. Therefore, the amount of light emitted from the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 5112b-3 is different from incident to Optical receivers 512c-1, 512c-2

光發射器中的一者發射的光被液晶反射。即,僅有從光發 射器發射的對應於所滴落液晶的路徑的光被所滴落液晶反 射’且被防止入射到光接收器。另外,將來自光發射器中 的一者的光量與僅入射到對應於光發射器的光接收器的光 量相比’且因此其間的差異較小。因此,即使液晶被分配, 仍可付出液晶未被分配的結論。 然而’根據上述實施例,光發射器512b-l、512b-2和 512b-3經安置使得從光發射器5i2b-l、512b-2和512b-3 發射的光束的路徑彼此重疊。另外,通過比較從光發射器 512W、512b-2和512b-3發射的光束的量的總和與入射到 201226062 4U/〇4pif 光接收器512c-卜512C-2和512C-3的光束的量的總和來確 定液晶是否被分配。因此,所發射光強度與入射光強度之 間的差異大於相關技術的差異。因此,可比使用典型方法 更準確地確定液晶是否被分配。 一儘管在本文中舉例說明用於分配液晶的設備,但本揭 示不限於其,且因此可舉例說明用於分配源材料的各種設 備,例如軟膏分配器和墨水分配器。 根據所述實施例,光發射器分別面對光接收器。從光 發射器發射的光束的路徑彼此交叉並重疊。由於用於排放 源材料的喷嘴安置在所發射光束的路徑彼此重疊的重疊區 域上,所以從喷嘴滴落的液晶穿過重疊區域。因此,可減 少源材料的排放位置的偏離以可靠地感測源材料。因此, 可準確地確定液晶是否被分配。 另外,由於將從光發射器發射的光束的量的總和與入 射到光接收器的光束的量的總和之間的差異用以確定源材 料是否被分配,所以所發射光強度與入射光強度之間的差 異大於相關技術的差異。因此,可比使用 地確定源材料是否被分配。因此,可防止在未分配源^ 的情況下執行處理程式,由此節省時間。另外,可防止由 於源材料的分配失敗而引起的裝置缺陷。 、儘官已參考具體例示性實施例描述了分配設備,但其 並不限於此。因此,所屬領域陳術人員將容易理解在^ 偏離Ik附申清專利範圍所界定的本揭示精神和範圍的情況 下可對本揭示進行各種修改和改變。 22 201226062 40764pif 【圖式簡單說明】 可從以下描述結合附圖更詳細地理解例示性實施例, 其中: 、 圖1是說日嫌據例示性實施例的基板處理設備的透視 圖。

Therefore, it is possible to determine more accurately whether or not the liquid crystal is dispensed than by using a typical method. The sum of the amounts based on the light beams emitted from the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 and the light beams incident on the light receivers 5丨2c-1, 512c-2, and 512c-3 will be described in detail later. The difference between the sum of the quantities to determine whether the liquid crystal is dispensed. The detecting unit 520 is connected to the light supply part 513 and the light receivers 512c-1, 512c-2, and 512c-3, and detects the amount of light supplied from the light supply part 513 to the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3. The difference between the amounts of light incident on the light receivers 512c-1, 512A2, and 512c-3 to determine whether the liquid crystal is dispensed. The detecting unit 520 includes: a sensing part 521 connected to the light receivers 512ol, 512c-2, and 512c-3 to receive intensity data of light incident to the light receivers 512c-1, 512c-2, and 512c-3; A part 522, which is coupled to the light supply part 513 and the sensing part 52ι to calculate the sum of the amounts of the light beams supplied to the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 and to the light receiver 512c-b 512c- The difference between the sum of the amounts of the light beams of 2 and 512c-3; and the determining part 523 which determines whether the liquid crystal is dispensed based on the value of the nasal 522. The value calculated by the calculation part 522 is the sum of the amounts of the light beams supplied to the light emitters 512]> 1, 5121 > 2 and 512b_3 16 201226062 40764pif and incident on the light receivers 512c-1, 512c-2 and 512c-3. The difference between the sum of the amounts of beams. The sensing part 521 is connected to the light receivers 512C-1, 512c-2, and 512c-3 to receive signals of light incident to the light receivers 512c-1, 512c-2, and 512c-3, and calculates light based on the signals strength. For example, when the three light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 correspond to the three light receivers 512c-1, 512C-2, and 512c-3, the sensing part 521 receives the incident light reception. The signals of the beams of the devices 512c-1, 512c-2, and 512c-3 calculate the light intensity of the beam based on the signals. As described above, the calculation part 522 is connected to the light supply part 513 and the sensing part 521 to calculate the sum of the amounts of the light beams supplied to the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 and to the light receiver 512c- 1. The difference between the sum of the amounts of the beams of 512c-2 and 512c-3. The calculation part 522 for this purpose receives the intensity data of the light beams supplied from the light supply part 513 to the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 and sums them. Additionally, computing component 522 is coupled to sensing component 521 to receive and sum the intensity data of the beams incident on light receivers 512c-1, 512C-2, and 512c-3. Hereinafter, the sum of the amounts of light beams emitted from the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 is referred to as the sum of the emitted light intensities, and will be incident on the light receivers 512c-1, 512c-2, and 512c. The sum of the amounts of the beams of -3 is called the sum of the incident light intensities. The calculation part 522 calculates the difference between the sum of the emitted light intensities and the sum of the incident light intensities. In the following, the difference between the sum of the emitted light intensities and the sum of the incident light intensities calculated by the calculation part 522 is referred to as the calculated value. 0 17 201226062 40764pif It is determined that the part 523 is connected to the calculation part 522 by comparing the sum of the emitted light intensities with the incident light. The sum of the intensities or by using the calculated values calculated by the calculation part 522 determines whether the liquid crystal is dispensed. That is, when the sum of the amounts of the light beams incident to the light receiving 512c-1, 512c-2, and 512c-3 is zero, or when the sum of the sum of the emitted light and the sum of the incident light intensities (ie, the calculated value) When larger, it is determined that the part 523 concludes that the liquid crystal is dispensed. Conversely, when the difference between the sum of the emitted light intensities and the sum of the incident light intensities (i.e., the calculated value) is zero or within a certain range, it is determined that the part 523 concludes that the liquid crystal is not dispensed. As described above, the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 are inserted into the inductor part main body 512a having an opening in the center. However, this disclosure is not limited to it. Although not shown, the light (4) emits a beam of light to a central region of the same space. Therefore, the paths of the emitted light beams cross and overlap each other in the central region of the same space. Figure 5A. Figure SBA illustrates a schematic diagram of the method of determining the disparity by means of a sensing unit and a unit according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to Figure 5A, no liquid crystal is placed. Referring to Figure 5B, the liquid crystal is placed. Fig. 6A and Fig. 6B are diagrams for explaining whether or not the liquid crystal is divided by the sensing unit in the related art. Referring to the figure, there is no liquid crystal as shown in Fig. 6B'. A description will be briefly made of the parts of the current embodiment which are identical to the first-order squall scales. Shooting = i ΐ When the liquid crystal is not discharged from the nozzle 452, from the light generators 512b-l 512b_2 and 51 slave a· / to the light receiver 512c], 512e_2#^9, = to 5 part into) 12c2 and 5l2c -3. For example, a portion of the light beam emitted from the 18th 201226062 4U754pif-light emission If dish-丨 is incident on the first light receiver. The remaining portion of the emitted light beam is not incident on the first light receiver 512c-1. Alternatively, all of the light beams emitted from the first light emitter 512b] may be incident on the first-light receiver 512c-1. A part of the light beams emitted from the second and third light emitters 512b-2 and 512b-3 are incident on the second and third light receivers 512c-2 and 512c-3' and the remaining light beams are not incident on the second and the The two light receiving states 512c-2 and 512c-3. Alternatively, all of the light beams emitted from the second and third light emitters 512b-2 and 512b-3 may be incident on the second and third light receivers 512c-2 and 512c-3. The sensing component 521 of the detection system 500 receives signals of the light beams incident on the light receivers 512c-1, 512c-2, and 512c-3, and calculates a light intensity value based on the signals. Next, the calculation part 522 receives the intensity data of the light beams supplied to the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 and sums them. Thereafter, the calculation part 522 calculates the sum of the amounts of the light beams emitted from the light emitters 5!^", 512b_2, and 512b_3 (i.e., the sum of the emitted light intensities) and the incident light receivers 512c-1, 512c-2, and 512c. The sum of the sum of the amounts of -3 beams (ie, the sum of the incident light intensities). The determination part 523 determines whether the liquid crystal is dispensed by comparing the sum of the emitted light intensities with the sum of the incident light intensities or by using the calculated values calculated by the calculation part 522. At this time, since at least a part of the light beams from the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 are incident on the light receivers 512c-1, 512C-2, and 512〇3, the sum of the emitted light intensities is equal to the incident light. The sum of the strengths is different or different within a specific range. Gp, the calculated value calculated by the calculation part 522 is zero or less. Therefore, it is determined that the part 523 concludes that the liquid crystal is not dispensed. 19 201226062 40764pif Referring to FIG. 5B, when the liquid crystal drops from the nozzle 452, the liquid crystal passes through the overlapping path in which the paths of the light beams emitted from the light emitters 5121 > 1, 512b_2, and 512b-3 overlap each other. At least a portion of the light beams emitted from the light emitters, 512b-2 and 512b-3 are reflected and blocked by the liquid crystal. That is, 'the light beam emitted from the light emitters 5121> 1, 5i2b-2, and 512b-3 is reflected and prevented from being incident on the light, unlike the related art in which light emitted from one of the light emitters is reflected and blocked. Receivers 512 (> 1, 512c-2, and 512c-3. For example, a light beam emitted from the first light emitter 5121>1 to the dropped liquid crystal is reflected by the dropped liquid crystal, and thus is not incident on the first a light receiver 512c-1. The light beams emitted from the second and third light emitters 512b-2 and 512b_3 to the dripped liquid crystal are reflected by the dripped liquid crystal, and thus are not incident on the second and third light receivers 512 (> 2 and 512c_3. At this time, the sensing part 521 of the detecting system 500 receives the signals of the light beams incident to the light receivers 512c-1, 512c-2, and 512c-3, and calculates the light intensity value based on the signals. The calculation part 522 receives and sums the intensity data of the light beams supplied from the light supply part 513 to the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3. At this time, the light receiver is incident on the light receiver in the case of liquid crystal dropping The sum of the amounts of the light beams of 512c-1, 512c-2, and 512c-3 is smaller than that in the case of no liquid crystal dripping as illustrated in FIG. 5A. The sum of the amounts of the light beams incident on the light receivers 512C-1, 512c-2, and 512c-3. In addition, the difference between the sum of the emitted light intensity and the sum of the incident light intensities is greater than the difference in Fig. 5A. The calculation part 522 calculates the sum of the amounts of the light beams emitted from the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 (i.e., the sum of the emitted light intensities) and the incident light receivers 512c-1, 512c-2, and 512C. - The difference between the amount of beams of -201226062 40764pif (ie, the sum of the incident light intensities). The part 523 is determined by comparing the sum of the emitted light intensities to the sum of the incident light intensities or by using the calculated values calculated by the calculation part 522. It is determined whether or not the liquid crystal is dispensed. At this time, since at least a part of the light beams from the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 are not incident on the light receivers 512c_i, 512c-2, and 512c-3', the emitted light The difference between the sum of the intensity and the sum of the incident light is large. In addition, the difference between the sum of the emitted light intensity and the sum of the incident light in the case of liquid crystal dropping is greater than that in the case of no liquid crystal dripping as illustrated in FIG. 5A. In the case of The difference between the sum of the emitted light intensities and the sum of the incident light intensities. Therefore, it is determined that the part 523 is derived from the liquid crystal being distributed. In the related art, the light emitters are spaced apart from each other in a straight line, and the light receivers are in line with each other in a straight line. They are spaced apart to face the light emitter as illustrated in Figures 6A and 6B. Referring to Figure 6B 'When liquid crystal drops from the nozzle, only light emitted from one of the light emitters is reflected by the liquid crystal. That is, only light emitted from the light emitter corresponding to the path of the dropped liquid crystal is reflected by the dropped liquid crystal and is prevented from being incident on the light receiver. In addition, the amount of light from one of the light emitters is compared with the amount of light incident only to the light receiver corresponding to the light emitter' and thus the difference therebetween is small. Therefore, even if the liquid crystal is dispensed, the conclusion that the liquid crystal is not dispensed can be paid. However, according to the above embodiment, the light emitters 512b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 are disposed such that the paths of the light beams emitted from the light emitters 5i2b-1, 512b-2, and 512b-3 overlap each other. In addition, by comparing the sum of the amounts of the light beams emitted from the light emitters 512W, 512b-2, and 512b-3 with the amounts of the light beams incident on the 201226062 4U/〇4pif light receivers 512c-b 512C-2 and 512C-3 Sum to determine if the liquid crystal is dispensed. Therefore, the difference between the emitted light intensity and the incident light intensity is larger than the difference in the related art. Therefore, it is possible to determine more accurately whether or not the liquid crystal is dispensed than by using a typical method. Although the apparatus for dispensing liquid crystals is exemplified herein, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and thus various apparatuses for distributing source materials such as an ointment dispenser and an ink dispenser can be exemplified. According to the embodiment, the light emitters respectively face the light receiver. The paths of the beams emitted from the light emitters cross each other and overlap. Since the nozzles for discharging the source material are disposed on the overlapping regions where the paths of the emitted light beams overlap each other, the liquid crystal dropped from the nozzles passes through the overlapping regions. Therefore, the deviation of the discharge position of the source material can be reduced to reliably sense the source material. Therefore, it is possible to accurately determine whether or not the liquid crystal is dispensed. In addition, the intensity of the emitted light and the intensity of the incident light are determined by the difference between the sum of the amounts of the light beams emitted from the light emitter and the sum of the amounts of the light beams incident on the light receiver to determine whether the source material is dispensed. The difference between the two is greater than the difference between the related technologies. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether or not the source material is dispensed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the processing program from being executed without the source being allocated, thereby saving time. In addition, device defects caused by the failure of the distribution of the source material can be prevented. The dispensing device has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments, but is not limited thereto. Therefore, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made in the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims. 22 201226062 40764pif [Brief Description of the Drawings] The exemplary embodiments can be understood in more detail from the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a substrate processing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment.
