How the LumiTop system enables rapid testing of microLEDs
Instrument Systems has produced a White Paper, which details experimental data demonstrating the ultrafast speed of microLED quality tests using its LumiTop system.
Latest-generation μLED display technology offers high-contrast, fast response times, wide colour gamut, low power consumption and a long lifetime. However, the technology can present a challenge, not only for the mass transfer of μLEDs from wafers to displays, but also for the massive parallelisation of optical quality control in different manufacturing steps.
For example, speed is a fundamental requirement for μLED wafer testing, since millions of μLEDs must be tested. Using traditional testing methods with integrating spheres, testing times may no longer be economical. A very fast alternative test option is parallel testing using 2D imaging light measurement devices, especially when spectral accuracy is maintained by referencing to a traceable spectroradiometer.
In this White Paper paper, Instrument systems reveals experimental data demonstrating the ultra-fast speed of μLED quality tests using the LumiTop system: a 2D imaging light measurement device combined with a highly accurate reference spectroradiometer of the CAS series.
Two test cases were examined, photoluminescence of a μLED wafer and electroluminescence of a complete μOLED microdisplay. The analysis algorithms of the LumiTop system provide spectral and spatial data for each individual emitter. The measured analysis speed is about 10-20μs per μLED, bringing the testing speed of an entire wafer with millions of μLEDs down to a few minutes or even seconds.
