This disclosure relates to the technical field of transferring, and in particular to a mass transfer apparatus, a mass transfer method, and a mass transfer device.
A display backplane includes several pixel areas, each of which includes a red LED chip, a blue LED chip, and a green LED chip. In the manufacturing process of a display, it is necessary to transfer red LED chips, green LED chips, and blue LED chips from their respective growth substrates to the display backplane. In order for transfer of these three types of chips, an existing transfer apparatus requires to transfer multiple times, which leads to higher time cost and is disadvantageous for mass production of the display.
The disclosure aims to provide a mass transfer apparatus, a mass transfer method, and a mass transfer device, so as to solve the technical problem that the existing transfer apparatus requires to transfer red, green, and blue LED chips multiple times, which leads to higher time cost and is disadvantageous for mass production of the display.
The disclosure provides a mass transfer apparatus. The mass transfer apparatus includes a rotating disk, a drive member, a first transfer head, a second transfer head, and a third transfer head. The rotating disk has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first surface is divided by a first line and a second line perpendicular to the first line into a first region, a second region, a third region, and a fourth region arranged clockwise. The drive member is connected to the second surface and configured to drive the rotating disk to move or rotate. The first transfer head is located in the first region, the second transfer head is located in the second region, and the third transfer head is located in the third region. The first transfer head and the second transfer head is symmetric about the first line, and the second transfer head and the third transfer head is symmetric about the second line. As such, when the mass transfer apparatus of the disclosure is used to transfer red, green, and blue LED chips, these three types of LED chips can be transferred simultaneously to a display backplane by a single “transport” process, which saves time cost. Given that the display backplane has four transfer regions, the transfer of the three types of LED chips to the four transfer regions may only require four transfer processes, which will significantly save time of mass transfer and facilitate mass production of the display.
In an implementation, the mass transfer apparatus further includes a rotating component. The rotating component is connected between the drive member and the second surface. The drive member is configured to drive, through the rotating component, the rotating disk to rotate. The rotating component is configured to transmit a torque of the drive member to the rotating disk, so as to drive the rotating disk to move or rotate.
In an implementation, the first transfer head is movably connected with the first region, the second transfer head is movably connected with the second region, and the third transfer head is movably connected with the third region. As such, by adjusting a position of the first transfer head on the first region, a position of the second transfer head on the second region, and a position of the third transfer head on the third region, the first transfer head can be controlled to accurately pick up (or adsorb) red LED chips on a first temporary substrate, the second transfer head can be controlled to pick up green LED chips on a second temporary substrate, and the third transfer head can be controlled to pick up blue LED chips on a third temporary substrate. Moreover, the first transfer head can be controlled to transfer the red LED chips to a corresponding transfer region of the display backplane, the second transfer head can be controlled to transfer the green LED chips to a corresponding transfer region of the display backplane, and the third transfer head can be controlled to transfer the blue LED chips to a corresponding transfer region of the display backplane.
In an implementation, the first transfer head has a first transfer surface away from the first surface, the second transfer head has a second transfer surface away from the first surface, the third transfer head has a third transfer surface away from the first surface. The first transfer surface, the second transfer surface, and the third transfer surface have a same shape and area. As such, each of the first transfer head, the second transfer head, and the third transfer head can transfer the same number of chips each time. The number of chips transferred to the display backplane can be accurately controlled, such that each transfer region has the same number of red, greed, and blue chips, thus improving yield of the display backplane.
In an implementation, the first transfer surface is square, the second transfer surface is square, and the third transfer surface is square.
In an implementation, a first distance between a center of the first transfer head and a center of the second transfer head is equal to a second distance between the center of the second transfer head and a center of the third transfer head. As such, after the rotating disk is rotated by a first angle, a second angle, or a third angle, positions of the first transfer head, the second transfer head, and the third transfer head can be exchanged with each other. Therefore, the first transfer head, the second transfer head, and the third transfer head can align with corresponding transfer regions of the display backplane, thus improving accuracy of positions of chips and improving yield of the display backplane.
In an implementation, the first surface is symmetric about the first line and the first surface is symmetric about the second line. As such, the first surface is central symmetric. The fire region, the second region, the third region, and the fourth region have a same shape, which is convenient for installation and arrangement of the first transfer head, the second transfer head, and the third transfer head.
In an implementation, the first surface is circular or square.

The rotating disk 150 has a first surface 1501 and a second surface 1502 opposite to the first surface 1501. The first surface 1501 is divided by a first line 210 and a second line 220 perpendicular to the first line 210 into a first region A, a second region B, a third region C, and a fourth region D arranged clockwise.
The drive member 160 is connected to the second surface 1502 and configured to drive the rotating disk to move or rotate.
The first transfer head 170 is located in the first region A, the second transfer head 180 is located in the second region B, and the third transfer head 190 is located in the third region C. The first transfer head 170 and the second transfer head 180 are symmetric about the first line 210, and the second transfer head 180 and the third transfer head 190 are symmetric about the second line 220.
As such, in a transfer process of red, green, and blue LED chips using the mass transfer apparatus, the first transfer head 170 may be aligned with a first temporary substrate 30 with red LED chips 101 arranged thereon in an array, the second transfer head 180 may be aligned with a second temporary substrate 80 with green LED chips 601 arranged thereon in an array, and the third transfer head 190 may be aligned with a third temporary substrate 130 with blue LED chips 1101 arranged thereon in an array (
In this way, a single “transport” process may realize simultaneous transfer of red, green, and blue chips to the display backplane 50, which saves time. It can be understood that the mass transfer apparatus may transfer all of the red, green, and blue chips to one transfer region, or transfer each type of the red, green, and blue chips to one corresponding transfer region. After the first transfer head 170 picks up the red LED chips 101, the second transfer head 180 picks up the green LED chips 601, and the third transfer head 190 picks up the blue LED chips 1101, the drive member 160 may drive the rotating disk 150 to reset and then move towards the display backplane 50. Alternatively, the rotating disk 150 moves towards the display backplane 50 directly without reset.

As such, after the above-described transfer processes, each transfer region has red, green, and blue chips thereon. The “transport” processes of these three types of chips to the four transfer regions only require four transfer processes, which greatly saves time of the mass transfer and facilitates mass production of the display.
It can be understood that the above is one round of transfer of the mass transfer apparatus, and the red, green, and blue chips can be transferred to a larger display backplane 50 by repeating the transfer processes. In this round of transfer, the mass transfer apparatus only needs to “transport” four times between the temporary substrates and the display backplane 50 to complete transfer of the red, green, and blue chips to the display backplane 50, which greatly saves time of the mass transfer and facilitates mass production of the display.
It can be understood that the first temporary substrate 30 may be made as follows. A first initial substrate 20 and a first growth substrate 10 are provided. Red LED chips 101 on the first growth substrate 10 are transferred to the first initial substrate 20 to form the first temporary substrate 30. For example, the first initial substrate 20 and the first growth substrate 10 are provided, where the first growth substrate 10 has multiple red LED chips 101 arranged thereon in an array. The first initial substrate 20 is stacked on the multiple red LED chips 101, such that the first initial substrate 20 picks up the multiple red LED chips 101 arranged in an array. The first growth substrate 10 is peeled off, so that the multiple red LED chips 101 arranged in an array and the first initial substrate 20 form the first temporary substrate 30.
The second temporary substrate 80 may be made as follows. A second initial substrate 70 and a second growth substrate 60 are provided. Green LED chips 601 on the second growth substrate 60 are transferred to the second initial substrate 70 to form the second temporary substrate 80. For example, the second initial substrate 60 and the second growth substrate 70 are provided, where the second growth substrate 60 has multiple green LED chips 601 arranged thereon in an array. The second initial substrate 70 is stacked on the multiple green LED chips 601, such that the second initial substrate 70 picks up the multiple green LED chips 601 arranged in an array. The second growth substrate 60 is peeled off, so that the multiple green LED chips 601 arranged in an array and the second initial substrate 70 form the second temporary substrate 80.
The third temporary substrate 130 may be made as follows. A third initial substrate 120 and a third growth substrate 110 are provided. Blue LED chips 1101 on the third growth substrate 110 are transferred to the third initial substrate 120 to form the third temporary substrate 130. For example, the third initial substrate 110 and the third growth substrate 120 are provided, where the third growth substrate 110 has multiple blue LED chips 1101 arranged thereon in an array. The third initial substrate 110 is stacked on the multiple blue LED chips 1101, such that the third initial substrate 120 picks up the multiple blue LED chips 1101 arranged in an array. The third growth substrate 110 is peeled off, so that the multiple blue LED chips 1101 arranged in an array and the third initial substrate 120 form the third temporary substrate 130.
In some embodiments, the mass transfer apparatus further includes a rotating component 270. The rotating component 270 is connected between the drive member 160 and the second surface 1502. The drive member 160 drives, through the rotating component 270, the rotating disk 150 to rotate. For example, a rotating rod is disposed inside the drive member 160 and connected with the rotating component 270. During rotation, the rotating rode inside the drive member 160 drives the rotating component 270 to rotate, thus driving the rotating disk 150 to rotate. The rotating component 270 is configured to transmit a torque of the drive member 160 to the rotating disk 150, so as to drive the rotating disk 150 to move or rotate. The drive member 160 includes a motor.
In some embodiments, the first transfer head 170 is movably connected with the first region A, the second transfer head 180 is movably connected with the second region B, and the third transfer head 190 is movably connected with the third region C. It can be understood that the first transfer head 170 is movable in the first region A, the second transfer head 180 is movable in the second region B, and the third transfer head 190 is movable in the third region C. For example, a position of the first transfer head 170 in the first region A may be manually adjusted, a position of the second transfer head 180 in the second region B may be manually adjusted, and a position of the third transfer head 190 in the third region C may be manually adjusted. Alternatively, the first transfer head 170 may be connected to the rotating disk through a slight-move element which is configured to slightly move the first transfer head 170 relative to the first region A. The second transfer head 180 may be connected to the rotating disk through a slightly-moving element which is configured to slightly move the second transfer head 180 relative to the second region B. The third transfer head 190 may be connected to the rotating disk through a slightly-moving element which is configured to slightly move the third transfer head 190 relative to the third region C. By adjusting the position of the first transfer head 170 in the first region A, the position of the second transfer head 180 in the second region B, and the position of the third transfer head 190 in the third region C, the first transfer head 170 may be controlled to accurately pick up red LED chips 101 on the first temporary substrate 30, the second transfer head 180 may be controlled to accurately pick up green LED chips 601 on the second temporary substrate 80, and the third transfer head 190 may be controlled to accurately pick up blue LED chips 1101 on the third temporary substrate 130. Moreover, the first transfer head 170 may be controlled to accurately transfer red LED chips 101 to the corresponding transfer region of the display backplane 50, the second transfer head 180 may be controlled to accurately transfer green LED chips 601 to the corresponding transfer region of the display backplane 50, and the third transfer head 190 may be controlled to accurately transfer blue LED chips 1101 to the corresponding transfer region of the display backplane 50.
In some embodiments, the first surface 1501 is symmetric about the first line 210 and the first surface 1501 is symmetric about the second line 220. That is, the first surface 1501 is central symmetric. The fire region A, the second region B, the third region C, and the fourth region D have a same shape, which is convenient for installation and arrangement of the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190. In one example, the first surface 1501 is circular or square.
In some embodiments, the first transfer head 170 has a first transfer surface 1701 away from the first surface 1501, the second transfer head 180 has a second transfer surface 1801 away from the first surface 1501, the third transfer head 190 has a third transfer surface 1901 away from the first surface 1501. The first transfer surface 1701, the second transfer surface 1801, and the third transfer surface 1901 have a same shape and area. In one example, the first transfer surface 1701 is configured to pick up red LED chips 101, the second transfer surface 1801 is configured to pick up green LED chips 601, and the third transfer surface 1901 is configured to pick up blue LED chips 1101. As such, each of the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 can transfer the same number of chips each time. The number of chips transferred to the display backplane 50 can be accurately controlled, such that each transfer region has the same number of red, greed, and blue chips, thus improving yield of the display backplane 50.
In one example, the first transfer surface 1701 is square, the second transfer surface 1801 is square, and the third transfer surface 1901 is square.
In some embodiments, a first distance between a center of the first transfer head 170 and a center of the second transfer head 180 is equal to a second distance between the center of the second transfer head 180 and a center of the third transfer head 190. As such, after the rotating disk 150 rotates by a first angle, a second angle, or a third angle, the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 can exchange positions with each other. Therefore, the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 can align with corresponding transfer regions of the display backplane 50, thus improving accuracy of positions of chips and improving yield of the display backplane 50.

The process of driving the rotating disk 150 to drive the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 to move and/or rotate is simple and easy to implement.
As such, the mass transfer method of the disclosure uses the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 to transfer the red LED chips 101, the green LED chips 601, and the blue LED chips 1101.

The operation at S4 further includes the following.

Then the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 are driven to move towards the display backplane 50, such that the first transfer head 170 transfers the red LED chips 101 to the second transfer region 502 of the display backplane 50, the second transfer head 180 transfers the green LED chips 601 to the third transfer region 503 of the display backplane 50, and the third transfer head 190 transfers the blue LED chips 1101 to the fourth transfer region 504 of the display backplane 50. This operation at S42 is a second transfer process of the red LED chips 101, green LED chips 601, and blue LED chips 1101.
The operation at S4 further includes the following. At S43, the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 are driven to rotate by a second angle counterclockwise.

That is, the first transfer head 170 is used to pick up red LED chips 101, the second transfer head 180 is used to pick up green LED chips 601, and the third transfer head 190 is used to pick up blue LED chips 1101. Afterwards, the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 are rotated by the second angle counterclockwise. Then the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 are driven to move towards the display backplane 50, such that the first transfer head 170 transfers the red LED chips 101 to the third transfer region 503 of the display backplane 50, the second transfer head 180 transfers the green LED chips 601 to the fourth transfer region 504 of the display backplane 50, and the third transfer head 190 transfers the blue LED chips 1101 to the first transfer region 501 of the display backplane 50. This operation at S43 is a third transfer process of the red LED chips 101, green LED chips 601, and blue LED chips 1101. In one example, the second angle is 180 degrees.
The operation at S4 further includes the following. At S44, the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 are driven to rotate by a third angle counterclockwise. Then the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 are driven to move towards the display backplane 50, such that the first transfer head 170 transfers the red LED chips 101 to the fourth transfer region 504 of the display backplane 50, the second transfer head 180 transfers the green LED chips 601 to the first transfer region 501 of the display backplane 50, and the third transfer head 190 transfers the blue LED chips 1101 to the second transfer region 502 of the display backplane 50.
In one example, before the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 are rotated by the third angle, the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 are driven to reset. Then the operation at S2 is repeated. That is, the first transfer head 170 is used to pick up red LED chips 101, the second transfer head 180 is used to pick up green LED chips 601, and the third transfer head 190 is used to pick up blue LED chips 1101. Afterwards, the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 are rotated by the third angle counterclockwise. Then the first transfer head 170, the second transfer head 180, and the third transfer head 190 are driven to move towards the display backplane 50, such that the first transfer head 170 transfers the red LED chips 101 to the fourth transfer region 504 of the display backplane 50, the second transfer head 180 transfers the green LED chips 601 to the first transfer region 501 of the display backplane 50, and the third transfer head 190 transfers the blue LED chips 1101 to the second transfer region 502 of the display backplane 50. This operation at S44 is a fourth transfer process of the red LED chips 101, green LED chips 601, and blue LED chips 1101. In one example, the third angle is 270 degrees.
As such, using the mass transfer method of the disclosure, each transfer region may include red, green, and blue chips thereon. The “transport” process of these three types of chips to the four transfer regions only require four transfer processes, which greatly saves time of the mass transfer and facilitates mass production of the display.
The methods for forming the first temporary substrate 30, the second temporary substrate 80, and the third temporary substrate 130 are described above, which will not be repeated herein.
In some embodiments, each of the red LED chips 101 is axisymmetric, each of the green LED chips 601 is axisymmetric, and each of the blue LED chips 1101 is axisymmetric. As such, after the rotating disk 150 is rotated by the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle, the LED chips as rotated can be positioned on respective transfer regions smoothly without being skew or uneven.
