Display Test and Correction Ensures MicroLED Quality from Wafer to Panel
 
 

The visual quality of a microLED display is determined by the performance of every individual subpixel (LED), but these emitters often vary in luminance and color. Poorly performing subpixels appear at multiple stages of the fabrication process—epitaxy, LED chip process, or mass transfer—thus a series of quality checks are required along the way, in addition to inspection at the final assembly stage.

The Solution: Subpixel Measurement and Correction

Radiant Vision Systems provides measurement and inspection solutions for microLEDs that ensure quality from the chip/wafer level to the panel/assembly level. Radiant’s ProMetric® Imaging Photometers and Colorimeters measure light and color of every subpixel with precision. Using an optional Microscope Lens, subpixels can be measured in extreme detail, as shown in the image below.

Once microLEDs are transferred to the backplane, Radiant’s measurement systems can be used to evaluate luminance and color across the entire panel to measure uniformity and mura. Radiant’s "demura" method can also be applied to correct pixel and subpixel output and increase microLED yields.

A ProMetric imaging system and Microscope Lens are used to characterize subpixel layouts, shapes, and color patterns, achieving extreme detail for subpixel characterization and analysis.

MicroLED Mass Transfer
MicroLED displays offer potential for wider color gamut, higher contrast ratio, and deeper blacks than LCD and OLED displays. To realize the potential of microLED display technology, however, a number of production challenges must be overcome to ensure the quality and uniformity of display devices. Read More

MicroLED displays were in abundance at the 2020 CES show in Las Vegas, including some of the largest screens ever exhibited alongside some of the smallest microdisplays. Learn more in this wrap-up of the new microLED technology as seen on this year's show floor. Read More
 
 
 
 
What is demura? Demura (where "mura" is a uniformity defect of displays) is the process of correcting display nonuniformity by adjusting pixel-level output. Radiant imaging colorimeters and software calculate luminance and chromaticity discrepancies of each microLED subpixel, applying correction factors to produce displays with entirely uniform appearance at each color and brightness level.
