A claim for priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 is made to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0116104 filed on Sep. 10, 2020, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
Embodiments of the inventive concept described herein relate to a substrate treating apparatus, an inkjet apparatus, and a maintenance method, and more particularly, to a substrate treating apparatus that performs a printing process by discharging ink onto a substrate by using an inkjet head, an inkjet apparatus, and a method for maintaining the same.
In recent years, display elements such as liquid crystal display elements and organic EL display elements have required high resolutions. In order to manufacture the display elements having the high resolutions, more pixels have to be formed per unit area on a substrate, and it is important to precisely discharge a treatment liquid such as ink to the pixels disposed densely in this way. Otherwise, a display element having a defect may be determined to be defective. Accordingly, according to the related technologies, it is necessary to precisely manage a discharge point (for example, a striking point) of a chemical discharged to the pixels.
Korean Patent No. 2134273 discloses an inkjet printing system for manufacturing such a display element. According to the patent, in order to precisely calibrate a discharge location of a chemical, it is configured such that the discharge location of the chemical, that is, a striking point may be identified by a second vision unit in a maintenance area.
According to the patent, the second vision unit identifies the striking point by photographing an area, to which a chemical is discharged. However, when the area, to which the chemical is discharged, becomes wider, the second vision unit divides and photographs the area, to which the chemical is discharged, to acquire a plurality of images, and a user has to combine the plurality of images to identify a striking point. This is because a range, in which the second vision unit performs photographing, is restrictive. Furthermore, when the area, to which the chemical is discharged, is divided and photographed, an image may be distorted in a process of combining the plurality of images.
Further, according to the patent, a discharge location of the chemical is calibrated by using a second substrate, on which a second alignment mark is present. However, even when the discharge location of the chemical of the inkjet head is calibrated, an error may occur in the calibrated discharge location of the chemical of the inkjet head when a movement axis of the second substrate is not precisely aligned.

However, the inventive concept may be implemented in various different forms, and is not limited to the embodiments. Furthermore, in a description of the embodiments of the inventive concept, a detailed description of related known functions or configurations will be omitted when they make the essence of the inventive concept unnecessarily unclear. In addition, the same reference numerals are used for parts that perform similar functions and operations throughout the drawings.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the inventive concept will be described with reference to
The process executing unit 100 may be a part that treats the substrate “G” by discharging a chemical onto the substrate “G”. The process executing unit 100 may be a part that treats the substrate “G” by causing an inkjet head 520, which will be described below, to discharge a chemical such as ink. The process executing unit 100 may be a part that treats the substrate “G” by causing an inkjet head 520, which will be described below, to discharge a chemical such as ink. The process executing unit 100 may include a process stage 110. A plurality of air holes 120 may be formed in the process stage 110. The plurality of air holes 120 may allow the substrate “G” to float by ejecting air in the third direction 16. Furthermore, the process executing unit 100 may further include a gripper (not illustrated) that slides along a guide rail while gripping one side or opposite sides of the floated substrate “G”.
The maintenance unit 300 may maintain the inkjet head 520, which will be described below. For example, the maintenance unit 300 may calibrate a discharge location (that is, a striking point) of the chemical discharged by the inkjet head 520. For example, the substrate “G” is positioned on a support unit 320, which will be described below, the chemical is discharged onto the substrate “G” while the substrate “G” is moved, and the striking point of the chemical discharged by the inkjet head 520 may be calibrated based on the discharge location of the chemical discharged onto the substrate “G”. Furthermore, the maintenance unit 300 may identify, among the plurality of nozzles of the inkjet head 520, a nozzle, from which the chemical has not been discharged appropriately, and may maintain (for example, clean) the corresponding nozzle.
The maintenance unit 300 may include a maintenance stage 310 and the support unit 320. Furthermore, the support unit 320 may include a first transfer rail 322, a first plate 324, a second transfer rail 326, and a second plate 328. Furthermore, the support unit 320 may support the substrate “G” or a calibration board CB. Furthermore, the support unit 320 may change a location of the supported substrate “G” or the calibration board CB along the first direction 12 and/or the second direction 14.
The first transfer rail 322 may be installed on the maintenance stage 310. The first transfer rail 322 may be an LM guide. A lengthwise direction of the first transfer rail 322 may be parallel to a direction, in which the substrate “G” is transferred in the process executing unit 100. For example, the lengthwise direction of the first transfer rail 322 may be the first direction 12. The first plate 324 may be installed on the first transfer rail 322. The first plate 324 may be moved along the first direction 12 that is the lengthwise direction of the first transfer rail 322.
Furthermore, the second transfer rail 326 may be installed on the first plate 324. The second transfer rail 326 may be an LM guide. A lengthwise direction of the second transfer rail 326 may be perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the first transfer rail 322 when viewed from the top. For example, the lengthwise direction of the second transfer rail 326 may be the second direction 14.
Furthermore, the second plate 328 may be coupled to the second transfer rail 326. For example, one side of the second plate 328 may be coupled to the second transfer rail 326. The second plate 328 may be moved along the second direction 14 that is the lengthwise direction of the second transfer rail 326.
Furthermore, the second plate 328 may support the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB. For example, an upper surface of the second plate 328 may a seating surface, on which the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB is positioned. Accordingly, a location of the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB supported by the support unit 320 may be changed along the first direction 12 as the first plate 324 is moved. Furthermore, a location of the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB supported by the support unit 320 may be changed along the second direction 14 as the second plate 328 is moved.
The liquid discharge unit 500 may treat the substrate “G” by discharging a chemical such as ink. The liquid discharge unit 500 may include a gantry 510, the inkjet head 520, a first vision unit 530, and a second vision unit 540.
The gantry 510 may be configured such that the inkjet head 520 is driven to reciprocate linearly. For example, the gantry 510 may support the inkjet head 520 such that the inkjet head 520 may be moved between the process executing unit 100 and the maintenance unit 300. For example, a lengthwise direction of the gantry 510 may be the second direction 14 when viewed from the top. Accordingly, the inkjet head 520 that is supported by the gantry 510 may be moved along the second direction 14. Furthermore, the gantry 510 may be installed such that a location thereof is fixed.
The inkjet head 520 may be configured such that a plurality of nozzles 522 for discharging the chemical are disposed. The plurality of nozzles 522 disposed in the inkjet head 520 may be disposed at an interval of a specific pitch. The nozzles may have piezoelectric elements corresponding to the number of the nozzles, and the chemical may be disposed onto the substrate through the nozzles, through operations of the piezoelectric elements. That is, through the operations of the piezoelectric elements provided in the nozzles, the chemical may be discharged onto the substrate through the nozzles. In particular, the chemical discharged from the nozzles may be independently adjusted through control of voltages applied to the piezoelectric elements.
Furthermore, the inkjet head 520 may be moved to an upper side of the process stage 110 when a printing process is performed on the substrate “G”, and may discharge the chemical onto the substrate “G” while reciprocating along the second direction 14. Furthermore, the inkjet head 520 may be moved to an upper side of a process stage 110 when a printing process is performed on the substrate “G”, and may discharge the chemical onto the substrate “G” while reciprocating along the second direction 14. Accordingly, the striking point of the chemical discharged by the inkjet head 520, or may identify, among the nozzles 522 of the inkjet head 520, which nozzle has not appropriately discharged the chemical.
The first vision unit 530 may be an area camera. The first vision unit 530 may photograph the substrate “G” and/or the calibration board CB in real time. The first vision unit 530 may acquire an image for the substrate “G” and/or the calibration board CB, or may acquire an image for the substrate “G” and/or the calibration board CB that is moving. The first vision unit 530 may be mounted on the inkjet head 520. Accordingly, the first vision unit 530 may be moved together with the inkjet head 520. For example, when the inkjet head 520 is moved to an upper side of the process stage 110, the first vision unit 530 also may be moved to the upper side of the process stage 110 together with the inkjet head 520. Unlike this, when the inkjet head 520 is moved to an upper side of the maintenance stage 310, the first vision unit 530 also may be moved to the upper side of the maintenance stage 310. However, the inventive concept is not limited thereto, and the first vision unit 530 may be installed in the gantry 510 such that a location thereof is fixed.
Furthermore, as described above, a relative location of the first vision unit 530 with respect to the second plate 328 of the support unit 320 may be changed. For example, the relative location of the first vision unit 530 with respect to the second plate 328 along the first direction 12 may be changed.
The second vision unit 540 may acquire an image by photographing the substrate “G” and/or the calibration board CB in a scheme that is different from that of the first vision unit 530. For example, the second vision unit 540 may be a line scan camera. The second vision unit 540 may be installed on a lower surface of the gantry 510. The second vision unit 540 may be disposed to overlap the maintenance stage 310 when viewed from the top. Accordingly, the second vision unit 540 may acquire an image by photographing the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB supported by the support unit 320.
A length of the second vision unit 540 may be larger than or the same as a width of the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB when viewed from the top. Accordingly, when the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB that is moved while being supported by the support unit 320 passes through an area photographed by the second vision unit 540, the second vision unit 540 may acquire the image of the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB.
In the above-described example, it has been described as an example that the length of the second vision unit 540 is larger than or the same as the width of the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB, but the inventive concept is not limited thereto. For example, the length of the second vision unit 540 may be smaller than the width of the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB, and in this case, the second vision unit 540 may photograph the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB while reciprocating along the second direction 14.
The controller 700 may control the substrate treating apparatus 1000. For example, the controller 700 may control the substrate treating apparatus 1000 such that the substrate treating apparatus 1000 performs a printing process on the substrate “G”. Furthermore, the controller 700 may control the substrate treating apparatus 1000 such that the substrate treating apparatus 1000 performs a maintenance method, which will be described below. For example, the controller 700 may control the liquid discharge unit 500 and the support unit 320 to perform the maintenance method, which will be described below. Furthermore, the controller 700 may control the first vision unit 530 and the second vision unit 540 to perform the maintenance method, which will be described below. Furthermore, the controller 700 may include a process controller including a microprocessor (computer) that executes control of the substrate treating apparatus 1000, a keyboard for inputting commands to allow an operator to manage the substrate treating apparatus 1000, a user interface including a display that visualizes and displays an operation situation of the substrate treating apparatus 1000, and a memory unit for storing a control program for executing processing executed by the substrate treating apparatus 1000 under a control of the process controller, or a program for executing processing, that is, a processing recipe in elements according to various data and processing conditions. Furthermore, the user interface and the memory unit may be connected to the process controller. The processing recipe may be stored in a memory medium of the memory unit, and the memory medium may be a hard disk, and may be a transportable disk such as a CD-ROM, a DVD, or the like, a semiconductor memory such as a flash memory.
The calibration board CB may be used to align the movement axes of the plates 324 and 328 that are moved by the support unit 320. For example, the calibration board CB may be used to align the movement axis of the first plate 324. That is, the calibration board CB may be used to align an axis of the first transfer rail 322. One or more alignment marks “M” may be displayed on an upper surface of the calibration board CB. For example, the alignment marks “M” may be displayed on the upper surface of the calibration board CB while being spaced apart from each other by a preset interval “G”. The alignment marks “M” may have a cylindrical shape having a diameter of 30 μm. The preset interval “G” of the alignment marks “M” may be 200 μm. The preset interval “G” of the alignment marks “M” may be a very small interval, but the interval and the diameter of the alignment marks “M” are illustrated in a rather exaggerated manner in the drawings for convenience of description.
The maintenance method according to the embodiment of the inventive concept may include a photographing operation S10, an axis calibrating operation S20, a photographing operation S30, and a calibration operation S40.
In the photographing operation S10, the first vision unit 530 may be located on the maintenance stage 310. In the photographing operation S10, the calibration board CB may be seated on the second plate 328, the second plate 328 may be moved, and the relative location between the first vision unit 530 and the second plate 328 may be changed. Then, the second plate 328 may be repeatedly moved by an interval (for example, 200 μm) of the alignment marks “M”. That is, the relative location of the second plate 328 and the first vision unit 530 may be changed by the interval “G” between, among the alignment marks “M”, adjacent alignment marks “M”.
However, when the movement axis of the calibration board CB is not precise (for example, when the lengthwise direction of the first transfer rail 322 is not precisely parallel to the first direction 12), the image captured by the first vision unit 530 is changed from the image of
Referring to
In the photographing operation S30, the image of the calibration board CB may be acquired by photographing the calibration board CB by the second vision unit 540. In the photographing operation S30, the image of the calibration board CB may be acquired while the calibration board CB is moved along the first direction 12. The acquired image may be delivered to the controller 700.
In the calibration operation S40, a signal calibration value for a signal that controls the second vision unit 540 may be calculated. For example, in the calibration operation S40, the signal calibration value for the signal that controls the second vision unit 540 may be calculated.
For example,
First, as described above, the movement axis of the calibration board CB has been calibrated via the photographing operation S10 and the axis calibrating operation S20. Accordingly, when the first interval G1 is not the same as the preset interval “G” (that is, the actual image and the acquired image are not the same), it may be seen that the second vision unit 540 has not properly acquire the actual image. For example, when a trigger signal that drives the second vision unit 540 is popped or delayed, such a problem may occur.
Accordingly, the controller 700 calculates a signal calibration value for calibrating a control signal that controls the second vision unit 540. For example, the first interval G1 that is the interval of the alignment marks “M” displayed in the image 542 captured by the second vision unit 540 and the preset interval “G” that is the actual interval of the alignment marks “M” are compared, and when the intervals are different, the signal calibration value for calibrating the control signal that controls the second vision unit 540 such that the first interval G1 may be a second interval G2 that is the same interval as the preset interval “G”. In this way, when the signal that controls the second vision unit 540 is calibrated, as illustrated in
By using the maintenance method according to the embodiment of the inventive concept, the inkjet head 520 may be precisely maintained. Accordingly, the chemical may be precisely discharged by the inkjet head 520, and the treatment efficiency for the substrate “G” may be increased.
Furthermore, the movement axis of the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB supported by the support unit 320 to be transferred may be distorted due to a mechanical problem thereof, but the movement axis of the substrate “G” or the calibration board CB may be aligned according to the embodiment of the inventive concept, and this helps the second vision unit 540 capture an image more precisely.
Because the control signal that controls the second vision unit 540 may be calibrated by comparing the preset interval “G” that is the actual interval of the alignment marks “M” displayed on the calibration board CB and the first interval G1 that is the interval on the image included in the captured image 542, the inkjet head 520 may be maintained more certainly thereafter.
In the above-described example, it has been described as an example that the gantry 510 is fixed and the calibration board CB is moved, but the inventive concept is not limited thereto. For example, as illustrated in
Furthermore, the above-described embodiment and another embodiment may be combined with each other to be used. For example, as illustrated in
According to an embodiment of the inventive concept, the substrate may be efficiently treated.
Furthermore, According to an embodiment of the inventive concept, a discharge location (that is, a striking point) of a chemical of an inkjet head may be precisely calibrated.
Furthermore, According to an embodiment of the inventive concept, an image captured by a vision unit may be calibrated maximally similarly to an actual image.
