Description of the invention: · Technical field of the invention - The invention relates to a measuring system for a short-circuit ring laser cutting machine, in particular to a short-circuit ring in the production process of a liquid crystal panel When the laser cutting machine performs cutting, the measurement of the cutting condition is simultaneously performed, and the message is fed back to instantly adjust the measuring system of the process parameters. [Prior Art] A blood liquid crystal display device is bonded by sandwiching a pair of glass substrates with a liquid crystal material interposed therebetween, and an electric signal is applied by electrodes between the two glass substrates to modulate the incident light of the external light source. Display the data on the screen. The liquid crystal display device has advantages over a cathode ray tube (CRT), such as low energy consumption, small thickness, and light weight; therefore, the liquid crystal display device has an attractiveness as a display device of a later generation, and its demand and output are greatly increased. The liquid crystal display device includes a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a binary array. In order to improve the display quality of a liquid crystal display device, an active liquid crystal display device is incrementally produced, in which a thin film transistor (TFT) is used for a pixel electrode. However, since the manufacturing method of the switching element is complicated, a defect display may be caused by a scan line (scan 1 ine) and a data line (source line), such as a line defect caused by a short circuit, Point defects and display unevenness caused by defective switching elements. Since the production yield of the liquid crystal display device is not 100%, the display quality must be sufficiently checked, and in order to improve the yield of the final liquid crystal display device, that is, the display quality, the inspection result must be quickly fed back to the manufacturing process. 201016369 A general inspection method for a liquid crystal display device is to use a probe to individually contact an imaginary input terminal of a liquid crystal display panel, and then apply a check to activate the liquid crystal panel; in this case, operate with the same The pattern change is checked, and/or the defects of the liquid crystal panel are analyzed, and the inspection and/or analysis is performed by the operator's visual inspection and/or using a camera. In addition, the thin film electro-crystal system is located at each intersection of the source line and the gate line, and the drain of each thin film transistor applies a signal to the corresponding pixel electrode, and each pixel electrode has a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. For the corresponding electrode, the display data voltage is maintained in the liquid crystal layer to display the image on the screen, because the source line and the gate line are insulated from each other by the insulating film, so that the display may be defective due to static electricity; For example, during the manufacture of a thin film transistor, static electricity may be generated during the manufacture and packaging of the liquid crystal panel. In this case, the generated static electricity is flooded in the source line and/or the gate line, applying a voltage substantially higher than the actual driving voltage, causing damage to the dielectric of the insulating film and/or generating an undesired missing component. characteristic. ^ The above inspection method will not be carried out after the completion of the manufacturing process of the LCD panel. Even if the inspection results are returned to the previous manufacturing process in time, the process parameters can only be adjusted for the next batch of production to improve. Yield, you can't give timely feedback on the LCD panels that have been manufactured in this batch. 'Only inspection and/or analysis can be used to screen out good products that have not produced defects, resulting in waste of production costs. The rate of sampling is not a full inspection, so there is a risk of missing inspections. In order to prevent electrostatic damage, along the edge of the liquid crystal display device, a short-circuit ring (sh〇rt ring) for short-circuiting the source line and the gate line is provided. However, after the inspection is completed, the short-circuiting ring must be cut off to restore the circuit of the original liquid crystal display device for normal display, so there is a short 4 201016369 • Laser cutting machine. · Laser = cutting process of the cutting machine is also included in the manufacturing process. Therefore, it must be after the completion of the entire manufacturing process, and the detection after the short-circuit ring is cut; thus, not only the detection process but also one more The program is not able to give back to the previous production process in time, and the same batch-batch production process parameter adjustment to improve the yield, but: Any process and yield recovery for the production of this batch can only be ^In the production of this batch of products for testing and / or analysis, the rate of the bird and production costs. Furthermore, because laser light is the energy of continuous emission of light, if the position stays for too long, energy accumulation will occur, causing the line to burn, and the product will be scrapped; therefore, when the laser cuts the short-circuit ring on the liquid crystal panel, the Yijing panel is slightly The pause is taken for image taking, and then the measurement and the return to the bottleneck that is detected in time after the short circuit is cut. Therefore, 'how to design--can be used in production and manufacturing, when the laser cutting machine cuts the short-circuit ring by laser, at the same time, the detection of the comprehensive inspection is carried out, and the parameters such as the energy of the laser are adjusted immediately to reduce the production. Cost, shortening the working hours and increasing the yield are the subject of the measurement system of the target-cutting. Ugly Ring Laser Cutting [Summary] In view of the fact that the present invention provides a short-circuit ring laser measuring system, in the process of cutting the short-circuit ring, the energy is generated--==== 201016369 A measurement system that improves yield. A for the above purpose, the present invention provides a short-circuit ring laser cutting measurement system, the laser cutting machine is based on a cutting mark, the bait of the short-circuit ring is cut, the measuring system comprises: The image capturing device of the short cutting condition has a function of a high-speed shutter and uses a light to fill light; and an input has an axis card that pre-calculates the image capturing position and the image capturing frequency of the image capturing device. 'Insert the image capturing device to perform the image capturing position of the image capturing device and control the flashing light to cooperate with the high speed shutter; and directly copy the data captured by the image capturing device to -

Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2', respectively, the structure of one embodiment of the present invention and the partial line of the liquid crystal panel after laser cutting are shown. The short-circuit ring laser cutting machine (not shown) used in the present invention cuts the short-circuit ring by using two cut marks Μ as a reference for the cutting path. In the present embodiment, the two cutting marks Μ are the initial cutting mark and the end cutting mark, respectively. In the present embodiment, the measurement % system 1 is mounted on the short-circuit ring laser cutting machine, and includes an image capturing device 2, a shaft card 3, and an image processing agricultural 4 ° image capturing device 2 for When the laser cutting machine is in the process of cutting, the liquid crystal panel cannot be stopped for image capturing, so it has a certain moving speed, and in order to take a picture, the image capturing device 2 has a high speed.
