Background: In this study, a machine vision–based method was developed for automated in-process light-emitting diode chip mounting lines with position uncertainty. In order to place the tiny light-emitting diode chips on the pattern of a printed circuit board, a highly accurate mounting process is achieved with online feedback of the visual assistance. Methods: The system consists of a charge-coupled device camera, a six-axis robot arm, and a delta robot. The lighting system is a critical point for the in-process machine vision problem. Hence, designing the optimal lighting solution is one of the most difficult parts of a machine vision system, and several lighting techniques and experiments are examined in this study. In order to commence the mounting process, the light-emitting diode chip targets inside the camera field were identified and used to guide the delta robot to the grabbing zone based on the calibrated homography transformation. Efforts have been focused on the field of machine vision–based feature extraction of the chip pins and the holes on the printed circuit board. The correspondence of each other is determined by the position of the chip pins and the printed circuit board circuit pattern. The image acquisition is achieved directly online in real time. The image analysis algorithm must be sufficiently fast to follow the production rate. In order to compensate for the uncertainty of the light-emitting diode chip mounting process, a visual feedback strategy in conjunction with an uncertainty compensation strategy is employed. Results: Finally, the light-emitting diode chip was automatically grabbed and accurately placed at the desired positions. Conclusion: On-line and off-line experiments were conducted to investigate the performance of the vision system with respect to detecting and mounting light-emitting diode chips.

Abstract Temperature and humidity dependent reliability analysis was performed based on a case study involving an indicator printed-circuit board with surface-mounted multiple-die red, green and blue light-emitting diode chips. Reported intermittent failures were investigated and the root cause was attributed to a non-optimized reflow process that resulted in micro-cracks and delaminations within the molding resin of the chips.

Purpose The mass electronics sector is one of the most critical sources of waste, in terms of volume and content with dangerous effects on the environment. The purpose of this study is to provide an automated and accurate dismantling system that can improve the outcome of recycling. Design/methodology/approach Following a short introduction, the paper details the implementation layout and highlights the advantages of using a custom architecture for the automated dismantling of printed circuit board waste. Findings Currently, the amount of electronic waste is impressive while manual dismantling is a very common and non-efficient approach. Designing an automatic procedure that can be replicated, is one of the tasks for efficient electronic waste recovery. This paper proposes an automated dismantling system for the advanced recovery of particular waste materials from computer and telecommunications equipment. The automated dismantling architecture is built using a robotic system, a custom device and an eye-to-hand configuration for a stereo vision system. Originality/value The proposed approach is innovative because of its custom device design. The custom device is built using a programmable screwdriver combined with an innovative rotary dismantling tool. The dismantling torque can be tuned empirically.

Aluminum Oxide Layer

A new light-emitting diode (LED) package module based on anodized circuit board (ACB) is developed in this study. ACB represents the selectively anodized aluminum board, in which the aluminum oxide layer, formed by anodizing process, serves as a dielectric layer and the electric signal lines are formed on it. LED chips can be directly attached to the metal pads on the aluminum core of ACB, which acts as p-electrode and at the same time easily spreads out the heat generated from the chips. The use of ACB in LED packaging has the benefit that ACB provides an excellent heat dissipation path from junction to board. This characteristic cannot be obtained from metal-core printed circuit board (MC-PCB), because it inevitably has a dielectric layer for electrical insulation of signal lines from metal base, which acts as a blocking layer in the heat path. By using the thermal transient method, the thermal resistance of the LED package (from junction to board) is measured to be about 4 °C/W. Also, we have performed the simulation of heat conduction, of which the results agree well with the experimental results. This chip-on-ACB LED package module has a potential application as a back light unit for display panel.

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are quickly evolving as the dominant lighting solution for a wide variety of applications. With the elimination of incandescent light bulbs and the toxic limitations of fluorescent bulbs, there has been a dramatic increase in the interest in high-brightness light emitting diodes (HB-LEDs). Getting the light out of the die, with reliable color, while maintaining appropriate thermal control over a long service life is a challenge. These issues must be understood and achieved to meet the needs of unique applications, such as solidstate-lighting, automotive, signage, and medical applications. These applications have requirements for 15–25 years of operation making their reliability of critical importance. The LUXEON Rebel has been accepted as an industry leading LED product, widely used in Mean-Time-Between-Failure (MTBF) sensitive applications. Customers use various mounting platforms, such as FR4 Printed Circuit Board (PCB), FR4 PCB with thermal via's, Aluminum & Copper Metal Core printed Circuit Boards (MCPCB), Super MCPCB, etc. As in other LEDs, when mounting to a platform where a large Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) exists between the LED & the PCB, Solder fatigue could become an issue that may affect system level lifetime. In this paper we have examined extreme cases and how a solder joint can impact system level reliability. We have modeled the conditions and formed a means to predict system level reliability. We have compared the prediction modeling with empirical tests for validation of the models. It is vital to understand system level reliability factors to build lighting solutions that match the application and customer expectations. It is impractical to test LEDs and other components for 50k hours ~5 years since the device evolution is much faster than that – on average one LED generation every 12–18 month. Hence we need models and prediction methods …..

A novel dual-cone-shaped side-emitting lens cap for High Brightness Light Emitting Diodes (HB-LEDs) is proposed for improving brightness and high uniformity of the direct LED backlight Units (BLUs) for large-sized LCD-TVs. Combining the designed lens cap with red, green and blue (RGB) chips on a Metal Core Printed Circuit Board (MCPCB), the LED module with the proposed cap is able to provide a compact white light source with unique features such as instant color variability and lower power usage, etc. The dual-cone-shaped of the proposed lens cap is designed to emit most of the light rays to the sides, only a small portion of light upward along the optical axis of the lens, providing a uniform luminance distribution and the high brightness on the backlight. In addition, a small reflective surface in semi-circular shape is designed and placed upon the proposed LED module about 10mm, the surfaces of which are attached with reflective films to increase the level of light mixing in the larger, global reflector optical box. With the structure of the LED module well designed, the LED backlight Module would be designed for the large-sized LCDTV using the fewer number of LEDs to lead to lower power consumption. The results indeed identify the attributes of the BLU, which make it possible to achieve excellent backlight performance using a direct illumination approach from the light source of “Dual-Cone-Shaped Side- Emitting Lens Cap of LEDs.”
