Production and quality control of Side Lit Backlight

Our LED rings are produced with a strict process of quality control, to ensure the reliability and consistency of our Side Lit Backlight. Upon receiving a new batch of LEDs, the quality department completes a comprehensive check to test whether the wavelength falls within the specified tolerances. Approved LEDs are stored in a climate chamber, ready for use in production. The next stage is automated and involves placing the LEDs on a PCB that fits the Side Lit Backlight, which is then followed by an inspection and soldering. Moving along the production line, the LED boards for Side Lit Backlight are assembled into the mechanical housing of the Side Lit Backlight. Post-assembly, the Side Lit Backlight undergo testing to ensure that the Side Lit Backlight performs according to its specification. This critical phase ensures that each unit meets our uncompromising quality standards. The production process of the Side Lit Backlight may also include the creation of a diffuser or polarizer. The diffuser is cut automatically, and every batch of diffuser plates undergoes transparency testing before they are cut into the correct shape. It is standard that all of our Side Lit Backlight are equipped with a diffuser. The final step involves a comprehensive quality check, where the intensity, voltage, and current of each light are meticulously measured. This step guarantees that all machine vision lights that leave our facility meet the required specifications. To further ensure the long-term consistency of our Side Lit Backlight, we have established a room dedicated to light-source age testing. During the R&D phase of a new Side Lit Backlight, the Side Lit Backlight will be continuously on for 1 week, while the temperature is monitored. For every new production run of Side Lit Backlight, each Side Lit Backlight will be continuously powered for 12 hours, ensuring that the quality and output of our machine vision lights remain uniform over time.
