Background technology
Liquid crystal indicator has that volume is little, power consumption is low and characteristics such as radiation is few, is widely used in fields such as display, LCD TV, mobile phone and notebook computer, and becomes the main flow in market gradually.Liquid crystal indicator comprises a display panels and a module backlight.This display panels comprises the non-display area of a viewing area and adjacent this viewing area.This viewing area comprises many drive wires.This drive wire is used for transmitting this display panels and shows required driving voltage, and it generally includes turntable driving line and data-driven line.This non-display area comprises many short bars (Shorting Bars).This short bar is electrically connected the corresponding driving line respectively.This short bar is electrically connected with outside line, is used for acceptance test voltage, and cooperates external instrument to test the short circuit and the open loop state of this drive wire.
This display panels make and assembling process in, no matter be that various machinery and equipment move, phenomenon that human body contact or display panels itself all may cause static discharge because of accumulating electrostatic charge.Because the circuit and the element of this display panels are very fine, if there is the phenomenon of static discharge to produce the consequence that causes this display panels to be scrapped easily.For solving the low excessively problem of yield that the static discharge phenomenon causes this display panels, industry proposes a kind of electrostatic defending measure, promptly the end of this turntable driving line and this data-driven line is made into tip shape, and makes one first metal tape and one second metal tape in non-display area.This first metal tape and the second metal tape ground connection.This first metal tape comprises first main part and many vertical minor faces that are connected this first main part that is parallel to each other with this turntable driving line.The end that the minor face of this first metal tape does not connect this first main part is made into tip shape, and the end of itself and this data-driven line is oppositely arranged one by one.Equally, this second metal tape comprises second main part and many vertical minor faces that are connected this second main part that is parallel to each other with this data-driven line.The end that the minor face of this second metal tape does not connect this second main part is made into tip shape, and the end of itself and this turntable driving line is oppositely arranged one by one.
When the exterior static electric charge is invaded this display panels, because of the outer path that provides the exterior static electric charge to enter this drive wire is provided for short bar and outside line electrical connections, the end of the end of this turntable driving line and this data-driven line can be accumulated the partial electrostatic electric charge.By the point discharge effect, the electrostatic charge of the end of the end of this turntable driving line and this data-driven line is transferred to this first metal tape and this second metal tape, thereby discharges by the ground connection of this first metal tape and second metal tape.
Yet, the electrostatic charge of the end of this turntable driving line and this data-driven line is accumulated in this electrostatic defending measure only release portion, still have the partial electrostatic electric charge to enter this viewing area interior zone, and be accumulated in this viewing area interior zone, as the intersection of this turntable driving line and this data-driven line.And the intersection of this turntable driving line and this data-driven line is a static discharge probability of damage larger part usually, and the adverse consequences that static discharge causes this turntable driving line and this data-driven line short circuit or disconnection so takes place.So adopt the display panels of above-mentioned electrostatic defending measure to fail discharge electrostatic charges more all sidedly, promptly itself and the static discharge that prevents not yet in effect destroy this display panels.
