As display technology evolves, higher-end displays are gradually adopting Mini LEDs and Micro LEDs to directly emit light for images and text presentation. This approach enhances contrast and widens viewing angles. However, the manufacturing process faces challenges that keep production costs elevated. One challenge arises from the small and densely arranged sizes of Mini LEDs and Micro LEDs directly soldered onto the display panel. Currently, there are two main soldering techniques on the market: reflow soldering and thermal compression bonding. Both processes require LED devices and circuit boards with high-temperature resistance. They also suffer from issues such as extended soldering times, potential misalignment due to differing coefficients of thermal expansion between chip and board, warping, and high energy consumption during temperature holding. These factors lead to decreased yield rates and elevated equipment manufacturing costs. Moreover, substantial energy consumption and waste heat discharge during the soldering process hinder the achievement of net-zero carbon emissions in ESG sustainability goals. This study employs laser-assisted transfer to quantitatively transfer solder paste with high precision, addressing the challenge of transferring small-sized solder paste that conventional screen printing methods struggle with. Through self-designed equipment, the advantages of laser patterning are utilized to achieve the quantitative transfer of solder paste for soldering. The research explores three different solder paste transfer techniques. Subsequently, localized heating is applied to the components and substrates to accurately control heating time and area. By melting and solidifying the solder paste, the original LED devices are bonded to the circuit board, and the merits and drawbacks of the methods are discussed and compared. This study aims to minimize damage to both the devices and circuit boards caused by traditional soldering, reduce the energy and time costs associated with conventional soldering, and enhance the quality and efficiency of LED solder bonding. |
