Abstract

A detection apparatus comprising a chuck, a probe device, a light-sensing device and a light-concentrating unit is disclosed. The chuck bears light-emitting diode chips. The probe device includes two probes and a power supply. The end point of the probes respectively electrically connects with one of the light-emitting diode chips and the power supply to make the light-emitting diode chip emits a plurality of light beams. The light-sensing device is disposed on one side of a light-emitting surface of the light-emitting diode chip so as to receive the light beams emitted by the light-emitting diode chip. The light-concentrating unit is disposed between the light-emitting diode chip and the light-sensing device to concentrate the light beams emitted by the light-emitting diode chip.

Claims (23)

1. A detection apparatus, comprising:

a chuck bearing a plurality of light-emitting diode chips to be detected;

a probe device comprising two probes and a power supply, and two end points of each probe respectively electrically connected to one of the plurality of light-emitting diode chips and the power supply to make the light-emitting diode chip emit a plurality of light beams;

a light-sensing device disposed on one side of a light-emitting surface of the light-emitting diode chip; and

a light-concentrating unit disposed between the light-emitting diode chip and the light-sensing device, wherein the light-concentrating unit is a light-concentrating film.

2. The detection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light-concentrating unit and the chuck are interactive.

3. The detection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light-concentrating film is a diaphragm with a surface having a plurality of micro structures.

4. The detection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light-concentrating film comprises a substrate and a plurality of micro structures, and the substrate has opposite upper and lower surfaces, and the micro structures are disposed on a lateral surface of the substrate close to the light-sensing device to collect the plurality of light beams passing through the light-concentrating film.

5. The detection apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the micro structures are a plurality of prisms, and each prism includes a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface, and both of the first and second inclined surfaces form a vertex angle.

6. The detection apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the micro structures are a plurality of curved bar.

7. The detection apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the micro structures are a plurality of projections with curved surfaces.

8. A detection apparatus, comprising:

a chuck bearing a plurality of light-emitting diode chips to be detected;

a probe device comprising two probes and a power supply, and two end points of each probe respectively electrically connected to one of the plurality of light-emitting diode chips and the power supply to make the light-emitting diode chip emit a plurality of light beams;

a light-sensing device disposed on one side of a light-emitting surface of the light-emitting diode chip; and

a light-concentrating unit disposed between the light-emitting diode chip and the light-sensing device, wherein the light-concentrating unit is a light guide element which comprises a light-incident outer plane and a light-emitting outer plane, wherein an area of the light-emitting outer plane is smaller than that of the light-incident outer plane, wherein the light-incident outer plane faces towards the light-emitting diode chips, and the light-emitting outer plane faces towards the light-sensing device.

9. The detection apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the light guide element comprises at least one optical fiber.

10. The detection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light-concentrating film is a multiple-layer diaphragm with different refractive indexes.

11. The detection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the chuck is composed of a material with light transmittance greater than 90%.

12. The detection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light-sensing device is an integral sphere, a solar panel, a phototransistor or a light dependent resistance.

13. The detection apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the chuck is composed of a material with light transmittance greater than 90%.

14. The detection apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the light-sensing device is an integral sphere, a solar panel, a phototransistor or a light dependent resistance.
