Abstract

A machine vision system and method uses photoluminescence light response of micro-LEDs to identify types of micro-LEDs (e.g., red, green, or blue) that are used to assemble a micro-LED display. Excitation light (e.g., ultraviolet excitation light) in a certain wavelength range is illuminated on a random pool of heterogeneous micro-LEDs consisting of materials, for example, that photoluminesce in three different colors-red, green, or blue. The micro-LED is optically excited and will emit either red, green, or blue, photoluminescence light based on the type of the micro-LED. The machine vision system uses a camera device that includes color response sensors to differentiate the type of micro-LED. The orientation of the micro-LED can also be detected. The machine vision system, based on the type, location, and orientation of the heterogeneous micro-LEDs, provides image-data based optical feedback to a microassembler system to move the micro-LEDs on a planar working surface according to an electrostatic template.
