Abstract: A laser annealing device includes a stage, a laser generator, and a reflective member. The stage supports a substrate with a thin film formed thereon to be processed, and may be moved in a first direction at a set or predetermined speed. The laser generator irradiates a first area of the thin film with a laser beam while the stage is moved. The reflective member reflects a part of the laser beam, which is reflected from the first area of the thin film, to a second area of the thin film. The first area and the second area are spaced apart from each other.

Abstract: A laser crystallization system includes a transfer part that transfers a substrate on which an amorphous silicon thin film is deposited into a chamber, a laser irradiation part that irradiates an excimer laser to the substrate for crystallization of the amorphous silicon thin film in the chamber, a stage that supports the substrate in the chamber, a measuring part that measures a light transmittance value of the substrate, and a controller that controls the laser irradiation part to irradiate the excimer laser to the substrate when the light transmittance value is equal to or lower than a reference transmittance value and controls the laser irradiation part not to irradiate the excimer laser to the substrate when the light transmittance value is higher than the reference transmittance value.

Abstract: A laser irradiation apparatus includes a laser beam generator that generates a first laser beam, a beam expander that expands the first laser beam and outputs the expanded first laser beam as a second laser beam, a beam splitter that splits the second laser beam into third laser beams and outputs the third laser beams, and a beam condenser that condenses the third laser beams and outputs condensed third laser beams. The beam expander includes a first lens having a first focal length and a second lens having a second focal length. The first lens is disposed between the laser beam generator and the second lens, the second lens is disposed between the first lens and the beam splitter, and the laser beam generator is spaced apart from the first lens by the first focal length.
