【先前技術】 一般而言,平板顯示器的主要產品為薄膜電晶體液晶 顯不器(thin film t刪istor liquid吻如出物乂) (TFT-LCD),由於製造技術的進步與研究發展(r&d) 的結果,其傾向於更大的尺寸與更高的解析度。由於 TFT-L.CD的應用不僅擴展至筆記本電腦,且亦擴展到攜帶 型終端,其逐漸地取代單色齡器,意即,單魏顯示器。 因此,TFT-LCD在顯示器業界的地位日益重要。[Prior Art] In general, the main product of the flat panel display is a thin film transistor (thin film t istor liquid kiss like a material) (TFT-LCD), due to advances in manufacturing technology and research and development (r& As a result of ;d), it tends to be larger in size and higher in resolution. Since the application of TFT-L.CD has not only extended to notebook computers, but also extended to portable terminals, it has gradually replaced the monochrome age device, that is, the single-wei display. Therefore, TFT-LCD is increasingly important in the display industry.
在生產線的最終階段,LCD經受藉由在一特定測試哭 内的探針單元所進行的探針試驗。探針試驗包括lcd面板 之資料與閘極線的開路試驗(〇pen test)與呈色試驗(c— test)及使用顯微鏡的顯微試驗(mic騰叩 圖1說明用於處理與檢測需要老化之小型顯示面板之 装置、2。?。現將在下文描述使用裝置2。。的檢測方法。 當,作者將其上裝載有十二個顯示面板1〇之第一工 4室自第—替換位置移位至第—檢測位置時,置於第一檢 測位置的第二工作臺基座214移位至第三替換位置。在第 I2957l 10。=位置’操作者在老化顯示面板10之前說明顯示面板 示田老化顯不面板丨〇時,操作者收集十二個經檢測的顯 :面板10且在移動至第三替換位置之後裝載新的顯示面 德α作至基座214上。之後,在返回至第一檢測位置之 才呆作者檢測經老化顯示面板10的照明狀態。 令人遺憾的是,習知檢測裝置200具有以下缺點。首 由於在照明之後需要較長的時間來老化顯示面板10, 亦即使將其移位至檢測位置,暴頁示面才反10白勺連續檢測 面子在困難且因此不能提高檢測效率。其次,當許多顯示 板10同時被檢測時,檢測高度與寬度為巨大的且因此檢 者不能自各種角度檢測顯示面板10。第三,對於檢測更 =的顯示面板10,台的數目增加導致工時控制與空間的浪 貢。第四,由於同時檢測許多顯示面板10,背 ,與工作臺…4 (左右移動的板== ^檢測裝置變得更大。第五’由於在照明之後當顯示面 一 10被老化時供應與挑選顯示面板10,因此連續檢測顯 示面板10較為困難且因此不能提高檢測效率。 【發明内容】 本發明的示範性實施例針對於旋轉式顯示面板檢測裝 置與使用此檢測裝置檢測顯示面板之方法。在示範性實施 ,中’檢難置可包括基座;可旋轉地安裝於基座上的轉 臺;及安裝於轉臺上用於檢測顯示面板之檢測單元。 在另一示範性實施例中,檢測裝置可包括轉臺,轉表 包括用於檢咖示面板之檢測單元,轉臺旋轉以在替換^ 6 oc I29573〇Jpif.d 示面板之替換位置 測單元。 與檢測顯示面板的檢測位 置之間旋轉檢 在不祕實施例巾,檢測方 個檢測單元及旋轉轉臺以執行 測單元間’顯示面板在到達檢測單‘^ 位置中之-者的檢測單元處替換固 單元處進行顯示面㈣照明試驗。 位置的檢測 【實施方式】At the final stage of the line, the LCD is subjected to a probe test performed by a probe unit that is crying in a particular test. The probe test includes the data of the lcd panel and the open circuit test of the gate line (cpen test) and the color test (c-test) and the microscopic test using the microscope (the mic Trick 1 shows that the treatment and detection require aging). The device of the small display panel, 2, will now describe the detection method using the device 2. When the author replaces the first work room 4 with twelve display panels 1 When the position is shifted to the first detecting position, the second table base 214 placed at the first detecting position is shifted to the third replacement position. At the I2957l 10 == position 'the operator indicates the display before aging the display panel 10 When the panel field aging is not panel ,, the operator collects twelve detected display panels 10 and loads a new display surface α onto the pedestal 214 after moving to the third replacement position. Thereafter, The author who returns to the first detection position detects the illumination state of the aged display panel 10. Unfortunately, the conventional detection device 200 has the following disadvantages: First, it takes a long time to aging the display panel 10 after illumination. Even if it is shifted to the detection position, it is difficult to continuously detect the face in the reverse page and thus cannot improve the detection efficiency. Secondly, when many display panels 10 are simultaneously detected, the detection height and width are enormous. Therefore, the examiner cannot detect the display panel 10 from various angles. Thirdly, for the display panel 10 that detects more =, the number of stations increases, which leads to the control of the work hours and the space. Fourth, since many display panels 10 are simultaneously detected, Back, and workbench...4 (the board moved left and right == ^ The detection device becomes larger. The fifth 'continues to detect the display panel 10 since the display panel 10 is supplied and selected when the display surface 10 is aged after illumination The present invention is directed to a rotary display panel detecting device and a method of detecting a display panel using the same. In an exemplary implementation, The base includes a turntable rotatably mounted on the base, and a detecting unit mounted on the turntable for detecting the display panel. In an embodiment, the detecting device may include a turntable, the turntable includes a detecting unit for the check panel, and the turntable is rotated to replace the position measuring unit of the panel of the 6 oc I29573〇Jpif.d. The rotation between the detection positions is detected in the non-secret embodiment towel, and the detection unit and the rotary turret are detected to replace the solid unit at the detection unit of the display unit between the display panel and the arrival detection unit. Perform the display surface (4) illumination test. Position detection [Implementation]
