Embodiment
The invention will be further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and exemplary embodiments.
Fig. 3 is a kind of GIP type display panels configuration diagram of the present invention.
Please refer to Fig. 3, screen inner grid driver of the present invention comprises the shift register SR (i) of a plurality of cascades, wherein i=1 ... n, n are natural number.Wherein SR (1)~SR (n-1) is the shift register that drives corresponding gate line, and SR (n) is as the dummy register.For each shift register SR (i), its input end comprises level signal end VGH and VGL, and asserts signal end SET and clock signal terminal CKVO/CVKE, output terminal comprise gate line output terminal GOUT, carry output terminal COUT and reset terminal RESET.
Concrete principle of work is described as follows: the SET termination of each shift register is received from the signal of the shift register COUT end of the upper level beginning clock signal as shift register at the corresponding levels, and the RESET termination is received the signal from the GOUT end of the shift register of next stage.For first shift register, its SET termination is received outside STV signal signal to start with.The VGH end of each shift register is connected with external drive voltage to receive driving voltage, and VGL is connected to receive the accurate position of low-voltage with the accurate position of outside low-voltage.The CKVO/CVKE termination is received external timing signal, and both phase places are opposite, and respectively in order to the adjacent gate driving line of driven, such as the gate driving line of CKVO in order to driving odd number code, and CKVE is in order to drive the gate driving line of even number code.Receive the STV signal to start with during signal when the SET termination, the output terminal GOUT of each shift register is corresponding to the high level of corresponding clock signal, thus the output of exporting corresponding gate line; The RESET end is then exported the drive signal of next stage.
Please continue with reference to Fig. 4, the present invention is at the input port of array base palte one side from first shift register, comprise that VGH, VGL, SET and CKVO/CVKE end is provided with lead-in wire and test point (Test pad) STV, VGL, CKVO, CKVE and VGH respectively, and TFT switch Ni and Ti (i=1 are set at output port GOUT (i) end of each shift register of the opposite side of substrate ... n-1) and output lead and test point CP and TP.Wherein switch Ni is as protection switch, be connected on described TFT switch Ti before, the grid of described TFT protection switch Ni directly links to each other with drain electrode.Certainly, the present invention also can directly test gate line output terminal lead-in wire, but does the complicacy that can increase design like this, increases cost.Because there is not the TFT switch, just need test lead be set to the output terminal of each row, counter plate, its grid are generally all at row up to a hundred even thousands of, and therefore switch not being set is a very complex engineering.
Adopt above-mentioned testing fixture, can detect the GIP unit easily, concrete steps are as follows:
A) aaset bit input end SET, clock signal input terminal CKVO/CVKE and level input end VGH, VGL lead-in wire applies asserts signal, clock signal and level signal respectively, see also Fig. 5, wherein, clock signal phase on the CKVO/CVKE end is opposite, and VGH holds input high level, VGL end input low level (figure does not show), the concrete numerical value of its voltage is different in each concrete condition, in general, VGH should be about 30V, and VGL is about-7V;
B) drive test point CP input triggering level signal, opening the TFT switch of shift registers at different levels;
C) detect outputs level signals at output test point TP;
D) corresponding each asserts signal is if the gate line drive signal of continuous whole appears in output test point TP
Judge that then gate drivers is normal, if drive signal occurs intermittently then can judge the gate drivers defectiveness.
Specifically, if the whole operate as normal of GIP driver element, shift registers at different levels are exported the gate line drive signal successively, and then the waveform from the output of TP test point should be the gate line drive signal of continuous whole, as shown in Figure 5.If there be i driver element unusual, then interrupting can appear in drive signal, and its typical abnormal work sequential shows that synoptic diagram as shown in Figure 6.If broken string appears in the shift register of cascade, have only the previous section shift register can operate as normal so, the work schedule synoptic diagram when its typical GIP driver element is unusual is as shown in Figure 7.If there are several driver elements unusual in the GIP device, then perhaps can be inconsistent with Fig. 6 or Fig. 7 from the waveform of its TP test point output, may occur repeatedly interrupting, need the concrete condition concrete analysis, but must not normal complete output waveform, therefore still can judge that defective appears in the GIP drive unit from the waveform of TP test point output.
Fig. 8 is an another kind of GIP type display panels configuration diagram of the present invention, and Fig. 9 is the testing fixture synoptic diagram of corresponding diagram 8.
Please refer to Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, each shift register SR (i) of the present invention, its input end comprises clock signal input terminal CK1, level input end FR and GV, set input SET, output terminal comprise gate line output terminal GOUT, carry output terminal COUT, reset terminal RESET and clock signal output terminal CK2.
Concrete principle of work is described as follows: the SET termination of each shift register is received from the signal of the shift register COUT end of the upper level beginning clock signal as shift register at the corresponding levels, the RESET termination is received the signal from the GOUT end of the shift register of next stage, and the CK1 termination is received the output from the CK2 end of upper level shift register.For first shift register, its SET termination is received outside STV signal signal to start with.The GV end of each shift register is connected with the external power source low-voltage to receive the accurate position of low-voltage.The CK1 termination is received external timing signal, and adjacent shift register receives different clock signals, and such as the shift register reception CKV signal of odd number code, and the shift register of even number code receives the CKVB signal.Receive the STV signal to start with during signal when the SET termination, the output terminal GOUT of each shift register is corresponding to the high level of corresponding clock signal, thus the output of exporting corresponding gate line; The RESET end is then exported the drive signal of next stage.
Please continue with reference to Fig. 9, the present invention is at the input port of array base palte one side from first shift register, comprise that GV, SET and CK1 end is provided with lead-in wire and test point (Test pad) VGL, STV, CKV, CKVB respectively, and TFT switch Ni and Ti (i=1 are set at output port GOUT (i) end of each shift register of the opposite side of substrate ... n-1) and output lead and test point CP and TP.Wherein switch Ni is as protection switch, connects the samely, and the INT end frame reset terminal of first SR receives the signal of the carry output terminal of last SR, does not therefore need terminal lead.
Concrete testing procedure is identical, and Figure 10 is the GIP driver element output waveform of continuous whole just often, the output waveform when Figure 11 and Figure 12 are common GIP driver element defectiveness.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to qualification the present invention, any those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can doing a little modification and perfect, so protection scope of the present invention is when with being as the criterion that claims were defined.
