Creation Description (1) [Technical Field to which the New Type belongs] This creation is about an LCM assembly machine, especially an LCM assembly machine that combines image processing technology and semi-automatic control mechanism. [Previous technology] In the 21st century, the reflective color TN / STN-LCD can display yellow, green, blue and other colors, and has the advantages of high contrast, high resolution, low power consumption and no radiation. With the huge demand for liquid crystal displays in related information industries such as mobile phones and pDA (Personal Digital Assistant), many domestic and foreign companies have attracted small and medium-sized Tn / stn-LCD industries to develop LCD modules in Taiwan. (LCD Module) Industry is the basis for the development of TN / STN-LCD liquid crystal display panels. The convenient use of liquid crystal module production technology can objectively and accurately reflect the quality and functions of the LCD panel. In recent years, wireless transmission and the Internet The use of mobile phones has increased the demand for mobile phones and personal digital assistant PDAs. In the future, the market demand for small and medium-sized color stN-LCD panels will steadily increase, and ITRI expects that global mobile phones will move towards around 2002. All are moving towards colorization. It is expected that small and medium-sized TN / STN-LCD manufacturers in Taiwan will play a significant role in the global mobile phone manufacturing industry. At present, the national TN / STN-LCD suppliers are mainly Japanese businessmen. Taiwan and Deaf are actively accepting Japanese technology and South Korean exit market vacancies. Because the design, manufacturing and assembly of crystal display modules require considerable manpower, However, the labor cost in Taiwan is very high, so manufacturers will need more manual back-end module LCM parts to transfer to the mainland for development, and how to develop automated or semi-automatic LCD manufacturing technology, so that the entire LCM process can shorten its processing Time and reducing labor costs are issues to be resolved at this stage.

Creation instructions (2) The entire process of the traditional group Pei LCM is manual. First, you must manually check whether the display screen of the LCD display template is correct, and manually adjust the electrodes and conductivity on the LCD glass substrate manually. The electrode connection position of the strip is until the correct picture appears, and then the frame is manually fixed to the entire template, and then the combined liquid crystal module is manually fixed, and the assembly process of a piece of liquid crystal template takes 6 minutes. To assemble the entire LCD template. And the manual inspection and operation on the production line is very time-consuming and labor-intensive for the entire production. The most problematic problem for manufacturers is the inability to grasp the manufacturing and assembly time of the finished product and improve the yield of the finished product. Originally, when the LCM was assembled manually, it was necessary to pay attention to professional skills. When the LCD was pre-pressed on the conductive adhesive strip on the surface of the PCB circuit board, it was necessary to press with the fingers. When adjusting, it is also easy to crush the LCD due to ^ f being too large; when the feet are locked, the LCM needs to be turned over 180 and the operation process 1 makes it easy to adjust the module that has been adjusted, and once again shifts a total of 1 kg for personnel training It takes a lot of time and effort to cultivate the proficiency and experience of human shellfish. [New content] The group ^ ^ work ^ The purpose is to propose a semi-automatic assembly of LCD modules ,,,,,,, to improve the assembly time and yield of the LCD module is not high. The image processing technology is used to obtain the clear image of the surface captured during the assembly process, and then a display is used to assist the operator to determine whether the electrodes on the glass substrate of the LCD have been guided.
