Abstract

The LED (Liquid Emitting Diode) frame device is a big part of the representative display industry in Korea. LED is an essential part for TV, monitor, notebook, and mobile phone. In Japan, Taiwan, China and other countries, investment in LEDs has been strengthened, and productivity has become an important issue. However, as the size of the parts becomes smaller, the inconsistent inspection by the human eye becomes a problem of reliability, so that the automatic inspection process becomes an essential issue in the field of LED module inspection. In this paper, we investigate defects in visual inspection process using computer vision technology. The inspection of the LED frame is made quickly and accurately, thereby improving the efficiency of the process and shortening the inspection time. As a result of applying the inspection system to the field, we confirmed that it is possible to inspect quickly and accurately.

LED(Liquid Emitting Diode)프레임 장치는 한국을 대표하는 디스플레이 분야에서 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. LED는 TV나 모니터, 노트북, 핸드폰 등 에 필수적인 부품이다. 일본이나 대만, 중국 등에서 LED에 대한 투자를 강화하면서 생산성 향상이 중요한 사항이 되고 있다. 하지만 부품의 크기가 점점 작아지면서, 사람의 눈에 의한 일관적이지 못한 검사는 신뢰성이 문제가 되어 LED 모듈 검사 분야에서 자동 검사 공정은 필수적인 사항이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 비전 기술을 이용하여 시각 검사 공정의 결함을 검사한다. LED 프레임에 대한 검사를 신속하고 정확하게 함으로써 공정상의 효율을 높이고 검사시간을 단축하였다. 검사 시스템을 현장에 적용한 결과 빠르고 정확하게 검사가 가능함을 확인하였다.
