Abstract

A micro-LED wafer testing device, being applied to test a micro-LED wafer including a metal substrate and a plurality of micro-LEDs disposed at the metal substrate periodically, includes a transparent substrate, a plurality of through holes disposed at the transparent substrate periodically, and a plurality of testing elements respectively disposed at the through holes. Each of the testing elements includes a metal post filled in one of the through holes, and a dielectric portion connected to a lower end of the metal post. The dielectric portions of the testing elements contact a plurality of contacted members of the micro-LEDs, and a top end of each of the metal posts and the metal substrate are powered to conduct an illustrating test for the contacted members of the micro-LEDs.
