Abstract:
A method for inline testing a plurality of light-emitting panels, comprising the steps of:manufacturing the plurality of light-emitting panels in a web fabrication process, the web fabrication process comprising a plurality of process steps and a plurality of component parts, wherein the plurality of process steps are performed a plurality of times to manufacture the plurality of light-emitting panels, and further wherein the plurality of process steps comprise a micro-component forming process, a socket formation process, an electrode placement process a micro-component placement process, an alignment process, and a panel dicing process; testing a portion of one or more light-emitting panels after at least one process step of the plurality of process steps is performed at least one time; processing data from the testing to produce at least one result; analyzing the at least one result to determine whether the at least one result is within a specific target range; and adjusting the at least one process step or at least one component part of the plurality of component parts if the at least one result is not within the specific target range.
