Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of detecting a defect in a stacked structure of a display panel includes collecting a first image of the defect and a plurality of layers in the stacked structure from a database, learning a defect information of the defect and a layer information of the layers using a deep learning model based on the first image and detecting a location of the defect among the layers by the defect information and the layer information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of detecting a defect in a stacked structure of a display panel, the method comprising: collecting a first image of the defect and a plurality of layers in the stacked structure in a cross-section from a database; learning a defect information of the defect and a layer information of the plurality of layers using a deep learning model based on the first image; and detecting a location of the defect among the plurality of layers by the defect information and the layer information, wherein the defect information includes a component information of the defect, the layer information includes a component information of the plurality of layers, and the component information of the defect and the component information of the plurality of layers each exhibit a predetermined color. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first image is one of a transmission electron microscope image, a scanning electron microscope image, a scanning transmission electron microscope image and a secondary ion microscope image. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first image is an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy elemental mapping image. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the deep learning model includes a convolutional neural network. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the deep learning model includes a plurality of convolution layers and an attention module. 6. A method of detecting a defect in a stacked structure of a display panel, the method comprising: collecting a first image of the defect and a plurality of layers in the stacked structure from a database; learning a first defect information of the defect and a first layer information of the plurality of layers using a deep learning model based on the first image; extracting a first location information of the defect by the first defect information and the first layer information; collecting a second image of the defect and the plurality of layers in the stacked structure from a database; learning a second defect information of the defect and a second layer information of the plurality of layers using the deep learning model based on the second image; extracting a component information of the defect and first component information of the plurality of layers using the second defect information and the second layer information; learning a second location information of the defect and a second component information of the plurality of layers using the deep learning model based on the first location information of the defect, the component information of the defect and the first component information of the plurality of layers; and detecting a location of the defect among the plurality of layers by the second location information of the defect and the second component information of the plurality of layers. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the deep learning model includes a convolutional neural network. 8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the deep learning model includes a plurality of convolution layers and an attention module. 9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the deep learning model includes an average pooling. 10. A system of detecting a defect in a stacked structure of a display panel, the system comprising; a collection unit which collects a first image of the defect and a plurality of layers in the stacked structure in a cross-section from a database; a learning unit which learns a defect information of the defect and a layer information of the plurality of layers using a deep learning model based on the first image; and a detection unit which detects a location of the defect among the plurality of layers using the defect information and the layer information, wherein the defect information includes a component information of the defect, the layer information includes a component information of the plurality of layers, and the component information of the defect and the component information of the plurality of layers each exhibit a predetermined color. 11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first image is one of a transmission electron microscope image, a scanning electron microscope image, a scanning transmission electron microscope image and a secondary ion microscope image. 12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first image is an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy elemental mapping image. 13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the deep learning model includes a convolutional neural network. 14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the deep learning model includes a plurality of convolution layers and an attention module.
