Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a probe device for testing an electronic component system, and more particularly to a probe device for panel array testing. [Prior Art] The application of flat panel displays has expanded rapidly with the spread of word processors, desktop personal computers, palm TV displays and the like. In particular, liquid crystal display (LCD) panels are widely used in various applications due to their mature process technology. With the advancement of manufacturing technology, display panel sizes have also been developed in various specifications to meet different usage requirements. Because liquid crystal display panels are composed of many liquid crystal packages and other components, in addition, larger liquid crystal display panels have more element. Even if only one component fails in the LCD panel, the entire LCD panel fails. Therefore, after packaging the liquid crystal display panel, the test procedure for testing the liquid crystal display panel is an important step to ensure the quality of the liquid crystal display. Traditionally, the contact probe detection module has been used to test the display panel. When testing, the probe on the probe module is placed on the LCD panel.

The 1273248 probe test module that can only be tested at the test station and used for testing on the test station is designed for liquid crystal displays of this size. If the production line is changed to produce other sizes of liquid crystals. For the display, the probe test module used must be replaced to match the new size of the LCD panel. For example, most conventional probe test modules typically produce different gauge probe frames for testing on different product lines. The number of probes on each particular frame corresponds to the number of contact pads in a particular size panel. The probe frame is a unit that integrates multiple test probes into one unit for batch testing. However, for the different sizes of panels developed, if the panel is tested in this way, since the panels of different sizes have different numbers of contact pads, when a new product specification is developed, it is necessary to re-create a new size. Specifications of the probe frame. Because a specific specification frame is usually not suitable for other products, this will result in additional probe frame fabrication and no juice costs, and the probe frame will be manufactured and even delivered for a long time. In addition, when the product line is replaced for testing, the steps of replacing the probe frame are also quite time consuming, resulting in waste of productivity and manpower for various reasons. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a probe device for testing electronic component systems for facilitating the testing of panels or electronic component layouts of different sizes. Another object of the present invention is to provide a probe device for electronic component system testing to provide a solution for testing the layout of panels or electronic components of different sizes. 1273248 Component System Test A further object of the present invention is to provide an electronic probe device that is cost effective, time consuming, and labor intensive. In accordance with the above objects of the present invention, a probe device for electronic component system testing is proposed. The probe device for the electronic component system test comprises a probe unit 70 and a line switching device, the probe unit comprises a support base and a first number of probes, and the probes are all disposed on the support base for a panel The array is tested. The line switching device is configured to electrically connect a second number of probes to a third number of test signal sources. The second number is less than the first number, the second number is not less than the third number, and one of the test signal sources is electrically connected to the at least one probe. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the test apparatus is used in the test of the panel array. The line switching device is a cable, including a probe connector, a signal source connector, and a transmission line. The probe connector includes a first number of probe termination pins for electrical connection to the probe. The signal source connector includes a third number of signal source terminals for electrically connecting to the test signal source. The transmission line is such that the probe terminal pin and the signal source terminal are electrically connected according to a line configuration, and the source terminal is electrically connected to at least one probe terminal jack. The panel array test device further includes a signal source device having a signal source connector. The signal source connector has a fourth number of signal source connector pins, and the source connector pin is used as a test signal source for correspondingly connecting and electrically connecting to the signal source terminal of the line switching device. To supply test signals to the probe unit. The fourth number is greater than or equal to the third number. The line switching device can also be a pluggable flexible circuit board having one end electrically connected to the probe and the other end electrically connected to the test signal source. When testing a panel of a specific size specification, you can first use the corresponding line switching I1 designed to connect with the probe unit and the signal source, and then align the probe on the probe unit with the test panel. The platform is placed such that the contact pads of the panel are in contact with a portion of the probe, while the other probes are not in contact with any of the contact pads, as if they were empty. The signal source is transmitted by the line configuration of the line switching device to the probe of the specific position to perform the test. When replacing different panel sizes, you only need to remove the line switching device and replace it with another line switching device with different line configuration design. Since most of the probes are pre-designed on the probe module so that the probe unit covers the panel test range of more than one size specification, the test of different product lines can be switched only by replacing the line switching device, and the line switching device is compared with the probe. The needle unit as a whole is relatively simple and fast in design and manufacture, low in cost and low in replacement steps, and also has considerable benefits for the production time of the production line.

It is inconvenient to design, manufacture, and replace the probe frame, as well as a large amount of cost. In order to make the description of the present invention more detailed and complete, reference is made to the following description and in conjunction with the teachings of Figures 1A and 1B.

The signal source connector 1〇2 has a fourth number of signal source connector pins 102a thereon. Each of the signal source connector pins 102a represents a test signal source and provides a specific test signal, but in actual use It is not necessary to transmit all the fourth number of signals, and only a part of the test signals are used for visual testing needs. Therefore, the fourth number is greater than or equal to the third number. In this example, the signal source device 100 is more of a platform structure, as a test The panel 16 is placed on the platform of the 1273248. - The Chu 20 single 70 U includes a frame 112, a probe link 11 118, and a number of probes 114.

In this example, the frame 112 is a four-sided wood such as a box, and the probe 114 is disposed at the frame edge of the frame 112. In the probe device of the present invention, the domain block is not limited to the above. The frame of the embodiment may be, for example, a crossbar structure. The probe connector 118 has the same number of probe connector pins 118a corresponding to the probe U4, that is, the first number of pins U8a, each Each of the pins 118a is electrically connected to the individual probes ι4. In this example, all of the probes 114 and the probe connector pins U8a are electrically connected correspondingly by a flexible circuit board 116. The connector 118 is fixed on the frame ι. The line switching device 120 is a line of wires, including a probe connector 124, a signal source connector 120, and a transmission line 122. The line switching device 120 is connected by a probe. The head 124 has a second number of probe termination pins 124a for insertion and connection to the probe connector 118 of the probe unit n〇. The line switching device 120 and the probe 114 are electrically connected by the contact between the probe connector pin 118a and the probe terminal pin 124a. The other end of the line switching device 120 is a signal source connector 126 having a third number of signal source terminals 126a for interposing and connecting to the signal source connector 1〇2 of the signal source device 120. The line switching device 120 and the test signal source 104 are electrically connected by the contact between the signal source connector pin i〇2a and the signal source terminal pin 126a. The third number of signal source terminals 126a are electrically connected to the probe terminal pin ma of the 1273248 through the transmission line 122, and the signal from the test signal source is transmitted from the signal source terminal pin 126a to the second number. Needle end pin 124a. Since the transmission line 122 is -specific = (four) ^ two factors: the path switching device m becomes a conduction path between the probe 114 and the test signal source 1 〇 4, and the conduction path provided is for panel products of different specifications and sizes. Different line wiring design. The type of the above-mentioned line switching device is not limited to the cable 'may also be a pluggable circuit board or a soft 3,= design, and has a probe end for electrically connecting to the probe and the test signal source. The pin and the signal source pin can also perform the same function in the present invention. In addition, in the embodiment, the line switching device is a connector with a jack, that is, a female plug; 'but can also be a male plug, and the simple interchange design of the male plug and the female plug is known to those skilled in the art. The conversion is as long as the line switching device is a pluggable single S and a signal source device, and is included in the spirit and scope of the present invention. The operation of the probe assembly for testing the electronic component system of the present invention will be described below by way of an example. As shown in FIG. 1B, when the panel to be tested (10) has been placed on the platform of the signal source device 100, the frame 112 is aligned with the correct orientation. The probe 114 is in contact with the contact pad 162 on the panel (10) to be tested. When the signal source device (10) is activated, the test signal source (10) sends a test signal 4.

The number of signal source connectors = 322a 322e on the signal source connector 32 is five, indicating that five test signals are provided. 'As a test. The signal source connector pin is transmitted to the probe connector pin 312 of the probe link 310 via the line configuration of the line switching device. It is evident in the legend that the probe is connected. The pins 312 are divided into two columns, each of which is transmitted via line configuration 330 to four probe connector pins 312, i.e., four probes use the same test signal. The other probe connector pins on the probe connection 310 are due to the relationship of the line configuration 330, and are not connected to the signal source connector to the coffee maker. Although the probe socket pins 312 are all correspondingly inserted into the probe end sockets of the probe connector, the terminals are not electrically connected to the test signal source, and must be determined according to the line configuration 330. The design will have different conduction. When testing - the specific specification panel, the empty pin position will not provide the signal signal to the corresponding probe, because the probe will not have phase according to the design of the contact pad of the panel. Corresponding to contact pads, so there is no need to: Test signal. In general, t ‘ empty pin finding is determined by the setting of the line switching device. Referring to Figure 2, there is shown a configuration diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For the existing 14吋, 15吋, 17吋, 19吋 panels, the contact number of each size is different. The contact pads 12 1273248 on the panel are designed according to all the probe positions 202 on the probe unit, that is, not the specification panel, all of which are designed to be located at the position of most probes in the probe unit 202 One of the parts is positioned to provide a correct probe for the corresponding contact. Therefore, the design of the number of probes is to select an appropriate number, so that the number of contact pads corresponding to the panel size specifications that may be developed in the future is designed to be more dense and dense, and different products can be covered. The number is also relatively large. In this example, the number of probes is designed as a quadrilateral frame with one 探针 probe on one side and the probe spacing is 1 〇mrn. However, the design of the probes to maintain the equal spacing is a convenient consideration for the design of the probe and the panel. It is not necessary to conform to the equidistant spacing. The non-equal spacing design is also within the spirit of the present invention, which can be easily considered by those skilled in the art. Change. The probe device can be used with a plurality of substrates, such as a panel substrate, each of which has a plurality of contact pads, each of which can correspond to a probe position. Referring to FIGS. 1A and 2, a mother glass sheet having a side length of 1000 mm is taken as an example. If the design probe spacing is 1 〇 ππη, and the first and last probe positions are each separated from the edge of the mother glass sheet by a distance such as 5 mm. One side of the frame 112 is designed to have an even number of probes 114 equally distributed thereon, and the corresponding probe connector pins 118a also have one. If the mother glass sheet is manufactured as a 2x4 panel 160, four panels 160 are placed on the left and right sides as shown in the figure. Two sets of probe connector pins are designed on both sides of the frame 112, the left probe connector pins are used to control the four panels on the left side of the drawing, and the right probe connector pins U8a are used. To control the other four panels on the right side of the drawing. 13 1273248 If each panel 160 needs to receive five kinds of test signals, the number of signal source pins 126a of the left and right line switching devices 120 is the third number, in this case, five, respectively, receiving the signal source device 1 Five test signals. Therefore, the probe end legs on the left side are 5 χ 4 pins that are electrically connected to the same number of probes 114. Similarly, the number of signal source pins of the line switching device on the right side is also five, receiving five test signals from the source device i (9) and transmitting them to the four panels 160 on the right side. The probe tip pin 124a on the right side is also 5 x 4 pins that are electrically connected to 5x4 probes. If the mother glass piece is to be fabricated, for example, as a 2 X block panel, and each panel 160 receives seven test signals, the number of signal source pins 126a on each side is seven, and the probe ends on each side. Pin 124a is a 7x6 pin that is electrically connected to the same number of probes 114. It should be noted that the fourth number of signal source connector pins 1〇2a does not necessarily need to transmit a fourth number of test signals when used. Depending on the usage requirements, less than the fourth number of tests may be provided. Signal. Therefore the fourth number is greater than or equal to the third number. In the above embodiments, the description is exemplified by the fourth number being equal to the third number. The number of signal sources is, for example, five, seven, or other numbers depending on actual usage requirements. In this way, the same probe unit can be applied by simply replacing the line switching device for different sizes or panel component layouts. When the layout of the components on each panel is changed, the probe unit may not be designed separately. As long as the contact 要 on each panel to receive the test signal has a corresponding position with the probe of the probe unit, it can be applied to various types. Different panel sizes and component layouts. 1273248 In the above embodiment, the probe connector pins on both sides of the branch base are used to control the panels on both sides respectively. In actual use, it is also possible to provide only a single-probe connector for the device. On the side, to control the measurement of all the panels, the probes on both sides are integrated to be electrically connected to the connector pins. At this time, the number of probe connector pins is the sum of all the probes. It will be apparent from the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention that the application of the present invention has the following advantages. The same probe unit can be used to test panels of different sizes by means of a sleek probe design with a pluggable line switching device. When replacing the product line of different specifications, it is only necessary to simply remove and replace the line switching device, which saves a lot of replacement time and labor resources compared with the conventional method of replacing the entire frame. Moreover, for different or newly developed product specifications, the present invention can only be designed or modified with a line switching device having a corresponding line configuration, design, fabrication time, and convenience, even at a cost. On the one hand, it is obviously more effective than re-creating a new specification probe frame. The present invention does provide a commercial value that cannot be ignored. Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and various modifications and refinements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
