Alternatively, when the information of the quantum dot type database 421 is configured as required quantum dot # 2 of FIG. 6, the quantum dot determination unit 420 determines that the necessary quantum dots are equally associated with a plurality of luminous grades that are grouped Information on any one of a plurality of necessary quantum dots can be determined as the repair quantum dots. 6, the quantum dot determination unit 420 determines that the emission level is equal to or higher than the reference emission level (for example, grades 1 to 50, etc.) The required quantum dots are equally associated with the plurality of light emission grades grouped with respect to the LEDs classified in the remaining grades, that is, the LEDs whose grades are smaller than the reference light emitting grade, Information on any one of a plurality of necessary quantum dots can be determined as the repair quantum dots. Likewise, when it is necessary to repair such a good product having a light emission grade equal to or higher than the standard light emission grade (for example, grades 1 to 50, etc.) so that the light emission grade is further improved, The unit 420 may determine information on any one of the necessary quantum dots, which correspond to one of the quantum dots differently for each emission level, as the repair quantum dots. Here, among the LEDs classified as defective products whose emission grades are smaller than the reference emission grade, LEDs of a certain lower emission rating (for example, grades 200 to 256, etc.) can be discarded.

The good product transferring unit 430 transfers the corresponding LED having a light emission grade of the light emission characteristic value from the first photodetector 130 to a reference light emission grade or more (for example, grades 1 to 50 in FIG. 6) ). ≪ / RTI > For example, when the emission level determination unit 410 determines that the LED is a defective LED to which a quantum dot layer is to be formed for the LED of the corresponding emission level, the quantum dot determination unit 420 determines the repair quantum dots as above, When the determination unit 410 determines that the emission level for the light emission characteristic value from the first photodetector 130 is equal to or higher than the reference emission level (for example, grades 1 to 50), the good product transfer unit 430 Can deliver the good quality LED to the good article collector 190.

After the quantum dot layer and the protective film are formed on the defective LEDs as described above, the second photodetector 180 again measures the light emission characteristic values of the LED having the quantum dot layer and the protective film (S19).

The good product determiner 181 determines whether or not the light emitting grade for the light emitting property measured by the second photodetector 180 is equal to or higher than the reference light emitting grade (for example, grades 1 to 50) (S19).

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, a light emission characteristic value corresponding to a target range A in a constant color (for example, white) in a CIE (Commission International de I'Edairage) When the emission level is determined to be equal to or higher than the reference emission level (for example, grades 1 to 50, etc.), the good quality determiner 181 determines that the good quality LED having the light emission characteristic value within the target range A (S20). ≪ / RTI > Accordingly, even if the light emission characteristic value measured by the first photodetector 130 is out of the target range A and indicates a light emission grade corresponding to a value smaller than the reference light emission grade, the light emission characteristic value within the repairable range B The repairing device 100 can be used to repair the LED having the quantum dot layer and the protective film as described above on the LED as a good product with improved light emission color and brightness. When the corresponding emission characteristic value determined by the good quality determiner 181 is smaller than the reference emission level through the formation of the quantum dot layer and the protective film as described above, the repaired quantum dot, which is determined by the quantum dot selector 131, The quantum dot layer and the protective layer may be formed again or may not be released as an LED for sale and may be discarded (S21).

8 is a view for explaining a repair apparatus 200 of a light emitting diode according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The light emitting diode repair device 200 may also be configured to transport the LEDs between the LED sorter 210 and the plurality of collectors 220 and between the plurality of collectors 220 and the plurality of repair devices 230, And transport means such as a conveyor system for sequentially transferring the LEDs to subsequent processes in each of the repair units 230.

Hereinafter, the operation of the repair apparatus 200 of the light emitting diode according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In step S61, the LED classifier 210 determines the emission level of the measured emission characteristic value by measuring the emission characteristic of light emitted from the LED in the goodness test step of the manufactured LED, and classifies each LED according to the emission level. The LED classifier 210 can classify the emission grades into a plurality of grades, for example, 256 grades according to emission values measured for light emitted from the LED using a predetermined photodetector, that is, digital values for hue or luminance have. For example, the LED classifier 210 may classify a corresponding LED having a light emission grade higher than the reference light emission grade (for example, a grade 1 to 50) LEDs can be classified as defective. Also, the LED classifier 210 can determine the repair quantum dots corresponding to each emission class by referring to the database information as shown in FIG. 6 for the LED classified as defective.

Each of the LEDs classified as above may be transferred to different collectors by a transferring means such as a conveyor system according to the luminous grades and collected in a plurality of collectors 220 (S62). In some cases, the LED classifier 210 may transfer the corresponding LED whose measured light emission characteristic value is not less than the reference light emission rating (for example, 1 to 50 grades, etc.) to the good article collector 290.

The plurality of collectors 220 collect the LEDs, which are transported by different paths by the transporting means, in each jig according to the emission level. Each of the plurality of collectors 220 may collect the LEDs in a line in a jig having a predetermined terminal capable of supplying power, fix the LEDs so that they are not shaken, collect LEDs in a two- have.

The LEDs collected in the plurality of collectors 220 are transferred to each of the plurality of repairers 230 corresponding to the respective grades by the transferring means (S62).

Accordingly, the plurality of repair units 230 are arranged on the uppermost layer of the LEDs collected and transported in each jig, corresponding to each of the plurality of collectors 220, that is, the LED classifier 210 determines the repair quantum dots (S64 to S71).

For example, the feeder 231 may sequentially supply a plurality of LEDs collected in the jig to the lower portion of the quantum dot dispenser 232 one by one. The quantum dot dispenser 232 applies the quantum dot mixed solution onto the uppermost layer of the LED supplied from the feeder 231 (S64). The quantum dot dispenser 232 included in each of the plurality of repair units 230 is configured to mix the quantum dots mixed on the uppermost layer of the LED using a nozzle from a predetermined container containing the quantum dot mixed solution for applying the quantum dot mixed solution corresponding to the light emission grade, The solution can be dispensed by dispensing. The quantum dots may be compound semiconductor nanocrystals such as CdS, CdSe, CdTe, ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, HgS, HgSe, and HgTe and may be mixed with a quantum dot mixed with a dispersion solvent (for example, toluene, The solution may be contained in a container connected to each nozzle provided in the quantum dot dispenser 232 and used to dispense through the nozzle. For example, each of the quantum dot dispensers 232 included in the plurality of repair units 230 may be coated with a different quantum dot mixed solution including quantum dots to improve color and brightness required for repair.

Thereafter, when the LED coated with the quantum dot layer by the conveying system such as the conveyor system is transported to the lower portion of the first dryer 233, the first dryer 233 can dry the quantum dot mixed solution coated on the LED (S65 ).

After the quantum dot layer and the protective layer are formed on the defective LED, the photodetector 236 measures the light emitting property values of the LED coated with the quantum dot layer and the protective layer (S68).

The good product determiner 237 determines whether the emission level of the light emission characteristic value measured by the photodetector 236 is equal to or higher than the reference emission level (for example, grades 1 to 50) or not (S69).

Accordingly, even if the defective LED is classified as indicating the emission level corresponding to the value less than the reference emission level in the classifier 210, the LED having the emission characteristic value within the repairable range B The repairing apparatus 200 can be used to repair the light emitting diode (LED) as a good product having improved light emission color and brightness by forming the quantum dot layer and the protective film on the LED. If the corresponding emission characteristic value determined by the good quality determiner 237 exceeds the target range A through formation of the quantum dot layer and the protective film as described above and exhibits a luminous intensity corresponding to a value smaller than the reference emission level, The quantum dot layer and the protective film may be formed again, or the LED may not be released as a product for sale and may be discarded (S71).
