The invention firstly identifies the wafer of the Micro LED or the storage disc arranged with the Micro LED by a machine vision system (lens + CCD) with high resolution and clear identification below 6 microns, converts the image distributed by the LED chip into a digital signal after image signal processing and algorithm, and then projects the digital signal on the surface of ultraviolet reversible adhesive (also called as light reversible adhesive) of a bulk transfer device 104 by matching with a system formed by an ASIC driving chip, LED lenses arranged in an array, a rotating mirror and a scanning system, only the position where the Micro LED is distributed has adhesive force, and other positions have no adhesive force, then directly sticks the Micro LED at the corresponding position of a silicon chip fixing device 107, and moves to the specified position of a target substrate 105 after the adhesion is finished, so as to carry out bulk transfer. After the transfer is complete, the bulk transfer device 104 automatically returns to the home position to be ready to re-identify the next Micro LED wafer or aligned storage disk. At this moment, machine vision recognition is carried out again, if the distribution position of the Micro LEDs is different from the previous time, the equipment can adjust the adhesion force of the surface of the adhesion mechanism according to the corresponding position and by utilizing ultraviolet light with two different wavelengths, and then the chip is adhered and taken and a huge amount of transfer is completed.
The substrate transfer device 106 transfers the Micro LED chips on the substrate 105. The lighting detection device 202, the lighting operation device 203, the lighting position measuring device 204, and the lighting control device 205 cooperate to perform a lighting test. This in-process is through accurate optical measurement device and accurate mechanical transmission, grating positioner, control system, and it can light to reach the locating position, then fixes a position dead center and makes system position mark through optical detection device, and qualified product of lighting shifts to outside the equipment through second 05 arms, and bad product moves to on the bad base plate 303. The method comprises the steps of firstly, carrying out desoldering on bad Micro LED particles by using a tiny ultralow-temperature probe (which can reach a low temperature below-70 ℃), removing the adhesive force of an anisotropic conductive adhesive film, then, allowing the surface of an adhesion mechanism to have the adhesive force only on the position of a bad Micro LED through an ultraviolet light control system, and pulling out the bad Micro LED chip. The upper heating device 301 and the lower heating device 312 heat the precision holes. The repair transfer assembly transfers the good Micro LED particles from the repair wafer fixture 307 to the removed position, and then the conductive silver paste is applied again. So just accomplish Micro LED's repair work, connect the tool of lighting again after restoreing, light the test in order to confirm that repair work is accomplished smoothly.
In summary, according to the Micro LED transfer device of the present invention, the micron-sized vision sensor is adopted to obtain the distribution position of the Micro LED particles, the ASIC driver is then used to drive the LED array board, and the lens array is used to perform directional projection exposure on the ultraviolet reversible adhesive layer in the pasting board to obtain a precise pasting area, so as to precisely paste the Micro LED particles, thereby realizing the transfer of the Micro LED particles, which can be used for a large amount of transfer when the carrier changes, and can also be used for a small amount of transfer when the carrier is repaired. Furthermore, the adhesive force of the ultraviolet light reversible adhesive layer is obtained by adopting an adhesive force sensor and utilizing the separation action, so that a new ultraviolet light reversible adhesive layer is replaced in time, and the production efficiency is improved. The Micro LED transfer integrated equipment provided by the invention utilizes a huge transfer device, a detection device and a repair transfer device which are connected together by a base to form compact equipment, so that the efficiency of the equipment is greatly improved; the efficiency and yield are higher, the cost is lower, and the process is simpler; and through material science and technology, the huge transfer, detection and repair work of the very difficult Micro LED can be completed very quickly and effectively, and the rapid and vigorous development of the Micro LED display industry can be promoted.
