Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a light box for visual inspection, in particular to a color which can quickly change the color of the light source provided, has a simple structure and can improve the detection of the glass substrate. A light box for visual inspection of efficiency. [Prior Art] In recent years, Taiwan's TFT-LCD industry has flourished, and the size of the glass substrate used has become larger and larger. From the original 35-generation substrate that can be taken by both hands, it has been gradually expanded to both long and wide sizes. The 6th generation substrate, which is close to 2 meters, is no longer able to take the glass substrate with both hands. Further, in addition to the enlargement of the area, the thickness of the glass substrate is gradually reduced. Therefore, in the tfT-LCD smuggling, the glass substrate must be moved between the various processing machines by the robot arm. 15 In the manufacturing process of TFT-LCD, it is very important to control the surface quality of the glass substrate after each process = segment, because if the defective glass substrate is not removed from the production line in time, it is wasted. Not only later, the cost of the materials, but also the waste of valuable process time, greatly affect the output of the entire LCD factory. 2〇目$, the industry has defined more than 170 types of defects that occur on glass substrates, and the number of species continues to increase. In addition, in order to detect the above various flaws, various detection conditions must be strictly observed to smoothly detect various flaws, such as a specific glass substrate tilt angle, a specific light source intensity, a specific light source wavelength, or a specific light source. 1311214 The strength is cloth. Therefore, the quality of the light box that provides the light source required for visual inspection is not always important. 1 is a schematic diagram of an optical inspection system for visual inspection and inspection of a large-area glass substrate, in which the glass substrate 1 is placed on a carrier 5, and the upper light box 3 and the back light box 4 are respectively located. The upper and lower sides of the carrier 2 are supported to provide a light source required for visual inspection of the glass substrate. In addition, the upper light box 3 and the back light box 4 are so-called "dual light source light boxes", which are capable of providing two different wavelength light sources such as white light and yellow light. • The procedure for visually inspecting the glass substrate 叙述 is described below: 10 First, depending on the type of flaw you want to test, place the glass substrate! Adjust to a specific angle. Then, a light source of a specific wavelength and a specific incident angle is irradiated onto the glass substrate 1 (in the case of FIG. 1, the backlight unit 4 is provided with a light source), and then visually observed by a highly trained quality controller 5. The entire surface of the glass substrate 1 is inspected to determine whether any ecchymoses are present. 15 When you want to detect another type of defect, repeat the above steps, after sequentially adjusting the angle of the glass substrate 1 and the wavelength of the light source, and then visually inspect the entire surface of the glass substrate. That is, the light source of the different light boxes and the rotation angle of the glass substrate must be appropriately selected according to the difference of the glass crucible to be detected, so that the light of the light source is transmitted on the glass substrate for frontal transmission, trans 20 transmission, frontal reflection or Actions such as reverse reflection can correctly detect whether there is any defect in the glass substrate. - As stated above, the wavelength of the source is important for detecting defects in the glass substrate. Therefore, the light boxes used in the industry are all so-called 1311214 "dual light source light boxes", which can provide light boxes of different wavelengths according to the needs of detection. The structure is as follows. Anti-Food Uto 2A and FIG. 2B are respectively schematic diagrams of the first "double-source light box" when providing yellow light and white light, wherein the fluorescent lamp f21 and the sodium lamp 22 are respectively arranged in the light box, 'the reflection plate 23 is the sodium lamp 22 The emitted light is reflected toward the diffusion plate 24 and transmitted to the outside. Further, between the fluorescent lamp f 2ι and the lamp, there is a louver-shaped light shielding plate 25 which is driven by a gas jet or a motor to change its state. In the situation of Fig. 2A, the fluorescent tube 21 is in a closed state, and the nano 10 15 k 22 is in a continuously open state. Further, the louver-like visor μ is in an "on" state, so that the light emitted by the illuminator 22 can pass through and reach the diffuser 24. At this time, the “dual light source box” provides a yellow light source with a uniform sentence. In the condition of the Β2Β, the #纽管21 is in the on state, and the sodium lamp 22 is still in the continuous state. However, the louvered light plate 25 is in a "closed" state to shield the light emitted by the sodium lamp 22 from reaching the diffuser plate 24. At this time, the “dual light source box” provides a uniform white light source. Figure 3A and Figure 3 are the structural diagrams of the second "double-source light box" when providing yellow and white light. The fluorescent tube 31 and the sodium lamp 32 are respectively arranged in the light box. The fluorescent lamp tube 3 1 is arranged on the upper surface of the light shielding plate 33, and the light shielding plate 33 is driven by a cylinder or a motor to change its state. In the case of Fig. 3, the fluorescent tube 3 1 is in a closed state, and the sodium lamp 32 is in a continuously open state. In addition, the visor is in the "open 1311214" state, so that the light emitted by the lamp 32 can reach the diffuser 34. At this time, the "double light source box" provides a yellow light source that is hooked. In the case of the picture, the glory lamp 31 is in the on state, and the lamp 32 is still in the on state. However, the visor 33 is in the "closed" state to shield the field emitted by the steel lamp 5 32 from reaching the diffuser plate 34. At this point, the light source phase provides a uniform white light source. However, the above two "dual light source light boxes" have several disadvantages, which may cause the efficiency of visual inspection of the glass crucible to be effectively improved, as follows: 1. Since the sodium lamp must wait for 15 to 20 minutes after lighting, its light A strong 10 degrees is required to achieve a stable state required for visual inspection of the fatigue of the glass substrate. Therefore, in the process of detecting the glass substrate, the sodium lamp must be continuously lit. Therefore, when white light is required as the detection light source, it is necessary to use a "shading mechanism" to shield the light emitted by the sodium lamp, such as a louver-like visor. 2. The above two “double-source light boxes” can only provide two colors of light source, namely white light and yellow light, because they do not have any filter units. In addition, since some types of glass substrates can only be detected under conditions other than yellow light and white light, the glass substrates 瑕疵_test items that can be applied to the above two "double-source light boxes" are limited. 3 · The above two "double-source light boxes" are used to shield the light emitted by the sodium lamp by 20 (4) retracement, and the mechanical structure required to drive the hood is more, such as the louver-like visor . Therefore, their response rate is lower when switching the color of the supplied light source, resulting in an extended time required for the entire glass substrate flaw detection procedure.
