Non-Contact Optical Detection of Foreign Materials Adhered to Color Filter and Thin-Film Transistor.

This paper describes the non-contact optical detection of debris material that adheres to the substrates of color filters (CFs) and thin-film transistors (TFTs) by area charge-coupled devices (CCDs) and laser sensors. One of the optical detections is a side-view illumination by an area CCD that emits a coherency light to detect debris on the CF. In contrast to the height of the debris material, the image is acquired by transforming the geometric shape from a square to a circle.

Detection of Electrical Circuit in a Thin-Film-Transistor Liquid-Crystal Display Using a Hybrid Optoelectronic Apparatus: An Array Tester and Automatic Optical Inspection.

In this study, we developed a high-resolution, more accurate, non-destructive apparatus for refining the detection of electrode pixels in a thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT-LCD). The hybrid optoelectronic apparatus simultaneously uses an array tester linked with the automatic optical inspection of panel defects. Unfortunately, due to a tiny air gap in the electro-optical inspector, the situation repeatedly causes numerous scratches and damages to the modulator; therefore, developing alternative equipment is necessary.

Light Emitted Diode on Detecting Thin-Film Transistor through Line-Scan Photosensor.

This paper explores the effectiveness of the white, red, green, and blue light emitted diodes (LEDs) light sources to detect the third layer of the electrode pixel and the fourth layer of the via-hole passivation on thin-film transistors. The time-delay-integration charge-coupled device and a reflective spectrometer were implemented in this experiment. The optical conditions are the same, as each light source and the digital image's binary method also recognize the sharpness and contrast in the task.

Effectiveness of Electrical and Optical Detection at Pixel Circuit on Thin-Film Transistors.

The paper presents a typology of electrical open and short defects on thin-film transistors (TFT) using an electrical tester and automatic optical inspection (AOI). The experiment takes the glass 8.5th generation to detect the electrical characteristics engaged with time delay and integration (TDI) charged-coupled-devices (CCDs), a fast line-scan, and a review CCD with five sets of magnification lenses for further inspection.

Optical density measurement of thin-film transistor liquid crystal display by a monochrome light-emitting diode.

A new method using a monochromatic light-emitting diode (LED) to measure the optical density (OD) of the black matrix of thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (LCD) is developed in this study. The measured results show that the average OD difference is within 1% between the proposed 3 W monochromatic LED and the currently adopted 100 W quartz halogen lamp. On the other hand, the monochromatic LED reduces the boosting time by 40% in establishing the baseline database.
