RESUMEN
A detection and classification machine-learning model to inspect Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD) Mura is proposed in this study. To improve the capability of the machine-learning model to inspect panels' low-contrast grayscale images, piecewise gamma correction and a Selective Search algorithm are applied to detect and optimize the feature regions based on the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International Mura (SEMU) specifications. In this process, matching the segment proportions to gamma values of piecewise gamma is a task that involves derivative-free optimization which is trained by adaptive particle swarm optimization. The detection accuracy rate (DAR) is approximately 93.75%. An enhanced convolutional neural network model is then applied to classify the Mura type through using the Taguchi experimental design method that identifies the optimal combination of the convolution kernel and the maximum pooling kernel sizes. A remarkable defect classification accuracy rate (CAR) of approximately 96.67% is ultimately achieved. The entire defect detection and classification process can be completed in about 3 milliseconds.
