OBJECT DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION ················································· Crystal ^ liquid crystal display (TFT_LCD), plasma display (10), organic light-emitting display (four) - (OLED) and other flat display (four) glass substrate), _ through the adjustment of the short-wave laser. The focus position of the beam to control the depth of cut, while The upper substrate and the φ plate are cut, or the upper substrate or the lower substrate is selectively cut. [Prior Art] - Generally speaking, in the manufacture of flat display devices such as _transistor_liquid crystal display (tft_lcd), electric display ϋ (PDP), organic light emitting display ((10)D), etc. The _ substrate is cut into phases for each die size. Moreover, it is also preferred to select a glass that is only bonded to the upper plate of the bonded substrate. # A conventional glass cutting method is performed by using a mechanical device such as a diamond grinding wheel. Here, the __ depends on the reduction of the crack and the second crack; the initial crack is caused by the frontal collision, and the second crack is generated by the reprocessing of the initial crack. Since the initial crack and the second crack are different in size from each other', the depth of the cut is also inconsistent, so that the cut surface of the substrate is not accurate. Another-known cutting method is a carbon dioxide ((10)) laser cutting method, which includes the following steps: using a grinding wheel as a mechanical device, forming an initial micro-crack and grain at the starting point of the scribe line; secondly, using (10) The heating beam of the laser heats the glass; after 1294410, the cold part of the glass is rapidly cooled by the qUencher to generate a second crack on the glass due to the change of instantaneous heat. In the above-described cut-off method, since the cutting depth of the glass cannot be precisely controlled, the cut surface of the glass is not accurate. Among the above two cutting methods, the apparatus for using the conventional #c〇2 laser cutting method is explained below. First, the conventional laser cutting machine comprises: a floor or a workbench for supporting the glass substrate to be cut; an auxiliary breaker for forming an auxiliary crack corresponding to the cutting direction of the substrate; - optical heating The system heats the substrate by applying a heated beam to the substrate along a scribe line; and a cooler that creates a crack by cooling the portion heated by the optical heating system. The glass cutting method of the conventional laser cutting machine uses an abrasive wheel to form an auxiliary crack, and then heats according to the auxiliary crack; then, the cooler is used to spray the coolant in the same direction, and the cooling is rapidly cooled. The cutting_crack is formed; then, the step of repeating the irradiation of the ship (four) beam and the step of re-cooling are performed. • For details on the detailed construction and method of the f-cutting, refer to Korean Patent Publication No. 2002-88258. However, the above-described conventional cutting method allows cutting a single substrate, and thus it is necessary to make the substrate difficult to cut, and to cut the upper and lower plates of the plate. That is to say, in the conventional cutting 1294410 using a mechanical device such as a diamond hybrid, only one substrate can be cut. Therefore, in order to simultaneously cut the adhesive "plate", the lower plate is provided with a special grinding wheel for the upper plate and the lower plate, respectively. Moreover, the knife is also provided to support the special grinding wheel to obtain the roller for the upper and lower surfaces of the bonding plate, and the stalk is separated. Therefore, the cutting machine is made to be female, and it is known that the cutting method and the secret are not used. In particular, in the conventional mechanical cutting device in which the upper and lower portions of the wire are provided with a grinding wheel, the upper and lower special grinding wheels should be precisely aligned to perform the cutting work. Therefore, there is no correction, so that the upper and lower shovel (10) are positioned to coincide. In the event of a correction error, the domain will not coincide and the product quality will be low. , " C02 laser cutting, auxiliary breaker cooler and other equipment should be placed in the bonding method

Moreover, in the cutting method using the C〇2 laser beam, since it is arranged above (10)^ and below, the (10)__ is determined to be correct, and the line is cut, so the alignment correction of the upper and lower special grinding wheels is required. Once ^ will cause the cutting surfaces to not coincide, thus reducing the quality. In particular, the above cutting method is not able to accurately control, thus greatly reducing the accuracy of the cutting surface. ·Cutting of glass substrate [Invention] In view of the above problems, the board cutting apparatus and method thereof, 1294410

Moreover, a light-emitting diode (LED) sensor (for example, a photo-sensing device), a ultrasonic sensation, or other types of sensing materials can be used as the non-centering displacement sensor. In the focus adjustment process used to locate the cutting depth of the substrate before cutting, Genhong's non-metallic base oil preparation of the invention is H-transformed, and the ribs along the depth of the plate are the secret axis _, _ gathering ^ The cutting depth coincides. / Μ 1294410 On the other hand, in order to maintain the consistency of the cutting depth during the substrate cutting process, the focus private device 8 can also axially retard the height of the substrate to the Ray _ 6 so that it conforms to the measured laser light spot.

Here, it is different from controlling the gap between the laser head and the substrate without changing the focal length. Change _ 6 and the distance between the substrates = can be constructed by m lens Sa t The lens _ distance adjustment to achieve the suspension, distance, and then the degree of bribery. At the same time, preferably at least two laser heads 6 to improve the cutting speed. Therefore, 13 1294410 there is a method using two The laser oscillating device is such that the laser beam appears on the laser head, respectively, and the other method uses two laser heads with path steering devices (mirrors). At this time, the path steering device allows from a mine The laser beam of the oscillating device can be selectively present on each of the laser heads. Alternatively, another method of cutting can be applied to each of the lasers from a laser oscillating device after being separated by the beam splitter. On the laser head, at this time, the energy of the separated laser will be reduced. However, this method is still applicable if the energy obtained is guaranteed to be sufficient. In the above structure, the relative movement through the laser head 6 is applicable.

The beam is converted into ultraviolet (uv) wavelengths of 2 (8) ~ shortwaves. At the same time, the frequency of the laser beam is between 1 and 1 〇〇 KHz. • In particular, the laser beam has a frequency of at least 1 〇 KHz and is preferably between 1 〇 and 30 kHz. Of course, depending on the situation, the frequency of the laser beam can be at least 30 KHz or more than 3 KHz depending on the corresponding situation. • For reference, the yoghurt (YAG) corresponds to the synthesis of Yttrium, Aluminum and Garnet, and is used to make an oscillator that produces a laser beam.

Further, in order to control the display information of the substrate, a self-welding flexible wiring board (TAB) is attached to a specific surface of the substrate. For this 15 1294410, it is only necessary to cut one of the substrates including the -to-bonded base (four) bonding plate (8). For this purpose, the glass substrate is externally loaded onto a fixable table 2 by means of a device such as a carrier robot. The substrate placed on the table 2 is horizontally fixed on the work hall through a nail (not shown in the closing) provided on the table 2 or a plurality of vacuum holes formed on the table 2 to securely hold it Supported on the workbench.

In the process of correcting the relative position, an image recognizer (for example, a video camera) is used to identify and confirm the position of the correction mark formed on the substrate, and the laser head 6 irradiating the laser beam faces the table 2 do relative movement to correct this relative position. During the position confirmation of the laser beam, a test laser beam is applied to a virtual glass to form a laser beam trajectory on the virtual glass, and then the image detector, such as a video camera, is used to capture the ray The beam of light is traced, or the position of the laser head 发射 that emits the laser beam is subsequently identified by an image recognizer disposed below the laser head 6. At the same time, after the relative positional correction between the substrate and the laser beam is completed, the substrate and the laser beam will be relatively moved to cut the substrate into a specific shape. That is, 'the laser beam generated from the laser vibration 16 1294410 TM using ytterbium-doped aluminum garnet (Nd-YAG) as a medium is supplied to the concentrating member as a laser beam via the optical system u The head 6' money is obtained at a predetermined position on the thin side substrate. Further, the table 2 having the substrate bearing is moved by the fixed money, and the laser head 6 is movable. The view can be cut through the substrate of the _beam. In this case, the laser beam generated by the Rayxian beam system laser diode generated by the laser recorder can change its light path through the optical system, and the optical system includes a plurality of mirrors and A similar arrangement is provided for the laser head 6 as a laser beam concentrating component. Since the laser head 6 and the light beam that transmits the laser beam to the laser head 6 and the mirror _ of the system _ are horizontally moved, the ultraviolet short-wave laser beam can be applied regardless of whether the position of the laser head 6 is changed or not. Onto the substrate. Thus, the substrate can be cut into a designed shape. In this case, the light wave generated from the diode as the light source is supplied to the hybrid pure l(Nd_YAG) f, and the read is excited by the i-f, so that the laser light having a wavelength of 1000 nm can be oscillated. . The vibrating laser light passes through the wavelength turn 'the water change crystal is oscillated to become a short wave with a wavelength between 200 and 400 nm. Therefore, it is used after converting the laser into a short wave. When a laser beam is applied to a non-metallic substance such as a glass substrate for cutting, the use of an ultraviolet short-wave laser beam can minimize the amount of product damage caused by the change in heat generated by the long-wave beam. Furthermore, in order to increase the energy of the laser beam, a 12 1294410 Q-switching is optically performed using an optical resonator to generate an ultrashort pulse of (nanoseconds). In order to increase the cut-off, a frequency of more than a few thousand chines (KHz) is generated to apply to the laser beam. In this way, even if the laser head 6 or the table 2 is moved at a high speed, precise cutting can be achieved. (5) In the process of cutting the glass substrate, the board is cut into the substrate unit substantially in the front-rear direction, and when the left and right guide pillars 3 are moved by the linear motor, the guide pillar 4 is guided in the front-rear direction. The laser can be applied through the laser head 6 so that the cutting can be performed in the front and rear direction. Moreover, in the process of cutting the glass substrate, the substrate is sufficiently cut into the substrate unit in the left-right direction, and the laser display block 7 and the laser head 6 mounted on the fixed block are driven by the linear motor. When the left and right guide posts 3 (4) are guided to move in the left-right direction, the laser beam can be applied via the laser head 6, so that the substrate can be cut in the left-right direction. Lu. Therefore, since the ultraviolet short-wave laser beam can alternately repeat the front-back and left-right directions, the respective substrate units on the glass substrate can be separated from each other individually and completely (in the singular form). Z In the use of ultraviolet (UY) short-wave laser beam to cut the glass substrate, the substrate's digestibility can be accurately set before the cut. For this purpose, the focus position of the laser beam is controlled to coincide with the cutting depth of the substrate to be cut, as described in detail below.... " Referring to Figures 2B and 3B, the laser will be in the depth direction of the substrate 18 1294410 The focus position of the beam is set to a specific value. Next, the distance between the laser beam emitting laser beam 6 and the main substrate surface is measured. Λ ,, according to the distance of the main substrate surface and the set focus position data, move The actual focus position of the laser beam is such that it coincides with the set focus position.
進而,透過提升或降落雷_ 6,以執行對雷射光束之聚焦位 —置的控制’如第2A圖和帛2B圖所示。或者,如第3A圖和第3B 圖所示,透過提升或降落基板,而執行對雷射光束聚焦位置的控 • 制。 即,透過雷射光束的聚焦位置的控制而確定切割深度,因此, 當雷射光束雷射頭6和主要基板面之間的距離隨著焦距(b1,B2, B3 ’其中bi=b2=B3)的改變而改變時,也使得切割深度(D1, D2,D3,其中D1<D2<D3)的變化成為可能。 參考弟4A圖和弟4B圖,透過改變焦距,可在不需調整雷射 頭6和基板間之距離的情況下,控制切割深度。 馨 在這種情況下,係沿著基板的深度方向設定雷射光束的聚焦 …位置,然後測量雷射光束雷射頭6和主要基板面間的距離。 - 隨後’根據主要基板面的距離和設定的聚焦位置資料,將雷 射光束的聚焦位置移動至設定位置。如此一來,藉由調整於雷射 頭ό内的變焦透鏡8a,可改變雷射光束的焦距(如於第4A圖中 之Bl,B2,B3,其中 B1<B2<B3)。 即透過延長或者縮短雷射光束的焦距,而可在不改變雷射 19 1294410 頭6和基板間之轉的情況下,實現對聚錄置的控制。 杂此時’利用照射距離測量雷射光束的非接觸式方法,可實現 對田射光束之雷射碩6和主要基板面間之距離的測量,其中上述 距離測量雷射絲_於切割的紫外線短波雷射光束或者超聲波 不同。 如上所述,根據本發gg之非金屬基板切割設備可以執行精確 的非金屬基板切割,藉以選擇性致使—黏合板⑺,例如:一平 面顯示器’的不同步切割(僅切割上基板或下基板),或者選擇性 同時切割黏合板(P)的上下基板。 即,為了透過同時切割黏合板⑺的上、下基板而將黏合板 分成基板單元,如第5A圖所示,可先使雷射光束焦點與黏 合板(P)的下基板底部重合,讀齡合板(p)的總厚度,然 後再執行基板的切割。 在切割黏合板⑺的上基板或下基板(例如上基板)的不同 V切剎中,會先根據黏合板(P)的總厚度,使雷射光束焦點與黏 合板(P)的上基板底部重合,以對應黏合板(P)的總厚度,然 後再執行基板的切割,如第5B圖所示。 以下說明光學執行Q開關,以提高雷射光束之能量,以及廡 用於Q開關的光諧振器。 首先,於一標準振盪模式下,雷射介質之增益相符於僅超出 損耗的一數值,其中此損耗包括一輸出排放分量。這樣,透過增 20 1294410 加反1分佈數值以超出―閾值,以獲得—更高能量的雷射光束。 寸別疋,可光谐振器的損耗來增加反向分佈數值以超過 振盡閾值。也就是,降低Q值。 士因此’在人為降低Q值後,若當反向分佈數值具有一預定高 值時^提高Q值,而增益係數將變得更加地高於振盪閾值,以產 生出高能雷射光束之振盪。上述技術即稱之為Q開關。 *同時,在光諳振器中,由於無法透過感應放電產生具有光束 增強之高效的雷射絲,_使贱夠啟動光綠振的平行反射 鏡。 田反向刀佈㉜日诗發生感應放電,並且藉由反射鏡使光束 反射回雷射介質部分’以猶此光束。若絲在—對反射鏡間來 回反射的時卿為—整數的倍數,便會產生—駐波,以突然地增 加感應放電。並且,此絲振器具有上述之可產生雷射光束的结 構。 、 於工業應用上’在製造如薄膜電晶體-液晶顯示器 (TFT-LCD)、電漿顯示器(pDp)、有機發光顯示器(〇咖)等 顯示設備模崎,在__伽巾,本發啊啸獅波雷射 光束的聚餘置❾対,來精糊㈣聽度。 亚且,本發明可應甩於任何類型之非金屬基板以及製造乎面 顯示器之玻穩板。舰本_具有高紅業實雜。 雖然本㈣^奴較佳實施例揭露如上,然其並翻以限 21 1294410 =明,任域細_者,在錢縣㈣之精神和範圍 月曰所附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 【圖式簡單說明】 目弟1 _根據本發明第—實施例之非金屬基板切割設備之透 板切割設備之雷=== 據本發明第—實施例之非金屬基 輕、‘指勤之示意®及其方法流程圖; 板二 Δ ^ 控制态之不意圖及其方法流程圖; 板切割賴象非金屬基 筮q回 JTO(不思圖及其方法流程圖;及 設備之實圖為用於解釋根據本發明之非金屬基板切割 上、下圖’其中第5Α圖顯示同時切割黏合板的 或者下;^^第職示利㈣步切·合板的上基板 【主要元件符號說明】 1 2 基座 工作臺 左右導向才主 前後導向检 22 4 1294410 5 直線馬達和推進器 6 雷射頭 7 雷射頭固定塊 8 焦點移動裝置 8a 變焦透鏡 9 量測裝置 10 雷射光束產生器 11 光學系統 P 黏合板 B 卜 B2、B3 雷射光束焦距 D 卜 D2、D3 切割深度 23Further, by raising or lowering the lightning _ 6, to perform control of the focus position of the laser beam, as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B. Alternatively, as shown in Figs. 3A and 3B, the control of the focus position of the laser beam is performed by lifting or lowering the substrate. That is, the depth of cut is determined by the control of the focus position of the laser beam, and therefore, the distance between the laser beam head 6 and the main substrate surface is in accordance with the focal length (b1, B2, B3 'where bi=b2=B3 When the change is changed, the change in the depth of cut (D1, D2, D3, where D1 < D2 < D3) is made possible. Referring to the brothers 4A and 4B, by changing the focal length, the cutting depth can be controlled without adjusting the distance between the laser head 6 and the substrate. Xin In this case, the focus position of the laser beam is set along the depth direction of the substrate, and then the distance between the laser beam head 6 and the main substrate surface is measured. - Then, the focus position of the laser beam is moved to the set position based on the distance of the main substrate surface and the set focus position data. As a result, the focal length of the laser beam can be changed by adjusting the zoom lens 8a in the laser head (as in B1, B2, B3 in Fig. 4A, where B1 < B2 < B3). That is, by extending or shortening the focal length of the laser beam, the control of the recording can be realized without changing the rotation between the head 6 and the substrate of the laser 19 1294410. At this time, the non-contact method of measuring the laser beam by the irradiation distance can realize the measurement of the distance between the laser beam 6 and the main substrate surface of the field beam, wherein the above distance measurement laser light_cut ultraviolet light Short-wave laser beams or ultrasonic waves are different. As described above, the non-metal substrate cutting apparatus according to the present invention can perform precise non-metal substrate cutting, thereby selectively causing the unsynchronized cutting of the bonding sheet (7), for example, a flat display (only cutting the upper substrate or the lower substrate) ), or selectively cutting the upper and lower substrates of the bonding sheet (P) at the same time. That is, in order to divide the adhesive sheet into the substrate unit by simultaneously cutting the upper and lower substrates of the adhesive sheet (7), as shown in FIG. 5A, the focus of the laser beam can be first overlapped with the bottom of the lower substrate of the adhesive sheet (P), and the reading age is read. The total thickness of the ply (p) is then diced and then the substrate is cut. In the different V-cutting brakes of the upper substrate or the lower substrate (for example, the upper substrate) of the cutting adhesive board (7), the laser beam focus and the bottom of the upper substrate of the bonding board (P) are firstly made according to the total thickness of the bonding board (P). Coincident to correspond to the total thickness of the bonded sheet (P), and then the cutting of the substrate is performed as shown in Fig. 5B. The following describes the optical execution of the Q switch to increase the energy of the laser beam, and the optical resonator used for the Q switch. First, in a standard oscillation mode, the gain of the laser medium corresponds to a value that only exceeds the loss, where the loss includes an output emission component. Thus, by adding 20 1294410 plus 1 to the value of the distribution to exceed the "threshold" to obtain - a higher energy laser beam. Insufficient, the loss of the optical resonator increases the inverse distribution value beyond the oscillation threshold. That is, lower the Q value. Therefore, after artificially lowering the Q value, if the reverse distribution value has a predetermined high value, the Q value is increased, and the gain coefficient will become higher than the oscillation threshold to generate an oscillation of the high-energy laser beam. The above technique is called a Q switch. *At the same time, in the optical oscillating device, since the laser beam with high beam enhancement can not be generated by the inductive discharge, the parallel mirror which activates the green light is activated. The field reverse knife cloth is inductively discharged on the 32nd day, and the light beam is reflected back to the portion of the laser medium by the mirror. If the wire is reflected in the reflection between the mirrors, it is a multiple of the integer, and a standing wave is generated to suddenly increase the induced discharge. Also, the wire shaker has the above-described structure capable of generating a laser beam. In industrial applications, 'manufacturing such as thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD), plasma display (pDp), organic light-emitting display (〇 )) and other display devices, Miyazaki, in __ 伽巾, this hair ah The gathering of the lion's wave laser beam is set to be fine (4). Further, the present invention can be applied to any type of non-metallic substrate and to a glass plate for a surface display. Shipyard _ has a high red industry. Although the preferred embodiment of this (4) ^ slave is disclosed above, it is limited to 21 1294410 = Ming, and the domain is fine, as defined in the scope of the patent application scope attached to the spirit and scope of Qianxian (4). .
