Background technology
Along with the arriving of digital Age, the universal comprehensively inexorable trend that will become the digital Age development of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display is called for short LCD).
At present, display panels is that liquid crystal is contained between two substrates of showing stria, makes two strias on the substrate intersect vertically into 90 degree mutually.Wherein top substrate layer is called color membrane substrates, and its inside surface deposit transparent conductive oxide (Transparent Conductive Oxide is called for short TCO) layer is as transparency electrode (also being public electrode); Following laminar substrate is called film transistor type (Thin Film Transistor is called for short TFT) substrate, and its inside surface deposition tin indium oxide (Indium Tin Oxide is called for short ITO) layer is as transparency electrode.After the common electric voltage (Vcom voltage) of upper strata color membrane substrates is fixing, by applying voltage to the ITO of underlying TFT substrate layer, make between the ITO layer of the tco layer of upper strata color membrane substrates and underlying TFT substrate and produce electric potential difference, and the corresponding generation electric field identical with voltage direction, under effect of electric field, liquid crystal molecule will be arranged according to the direction of current between two substrates in the stria of the TFT substrate of the color membrane substrates on upper strata and lower floor, passes on light; If after the ITO of underlying TFT substrate layer applies the voltage that equates with the Vcom voltage of upper strata color membrane substrates, producing electric potential difference between the ITO layer of the tco layer of upper strata color membrane substrates and underlying TFT substrate is 0V, then the Liquid Crystal Molecules Alignment confusion in the stria of the TFT substrate of the color membrane substrates on upper strata and lower floor can't be passed on light.Therefore, people utilize the characteristic of liquid crystal molecule according to the size adjustment light quantity of test voltage, and the gray scale of LCD is regulated.For understanding the light penetration under the different test voltages, usually need the variation relation between voltage and the transmitance (Voltage-Transmittance is called for short VT) is tested, to obtain the VT curve.
Obtain the voltage and transmitance relation curve (the Module VT Curve) method of testing of display panels in the prior art, be and on data line, apply test voltage, by light penetration testing apparatus CA210, measure the transmitance under the different test voltages, draw the VT curve, for the gamma tuning (Gamma tuning) that carries out on the circuit.In order to ensure the accuracy of data, in test process, should make test voltage from 0V-12V positive test and 12V-0V negative testing each one time, data are got the mean value of twice test result.
Under the perfect condition, in the method for testing of prior art, under the effect of test voltage, the deflecting of liquid crystal molecule, but, make the method for testing of prior art all have error because liquid crystal molecule can't be replied the characteristic of deformation at interval in the short period.Under perfect condition, when display panels is in the normal state down, be that liquid crystal molecule does not deflect, and when keeping static state, respectively to three identical display panels provide test voltage+6V, 0V ,+12V, be specially: the Vcom voltage of supposition upper strata color membrane substrates is set at+6V, when the test voltage value be+during 6V, (+electric potential difference between 6V) is 0V, and liquid crystal molecule keeps stationary state not deflect for the ITO layer (0V) of underlying TFT substrate and the tco layer of upper strata color membrane substrates; When the test voltage value was 0V, (+electric potential difference between 6V) was+6V, then liquid crystal deflecting element+θ degree for the ITO layer (0V) of underlying TFT substrate and the tco layer of upper strata color membrane substrates; When the test voltage value be+during 12V, the ITO layer of underlying TFT substrate (+12V) and the tco layer of upper strata color membrane substrates (+electric potential difference between 6V) is-6V, then liquid crystal deflecting element-θ degree.Under perfect condition, when the test voltage value was 0V, liquid crystal molecule should deflection+θ degree; The test voltage value is+during 12V, liquid crystal molecule should deflection-θ degree.Two pairs of data are included in the numerical range of VT curve, if increase the quantity of test, then can access the VT curve under the perfect condition, but the display panels that test voltage value of every adjustment just need more renew under perfect condition, can cause the significant wastage of resource.
In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds that there are the following problems at least in the prior art:
1, Fig. 6 is a part of detecting cross sectional representation in the prior art, Fig. 7 is a TFT fundamental diagram in the prior art, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7, in the prior art, at first coat elargol in a zone, wait elargol absolutely dry after, a area data alignment applies test voltage, grid line is opened to continuing, and after test voltage offers pcb board by the analog to digital conversion plate, uses the transmitance in CA210 testing of equipment b zone.When pcb board is continuously applied external voltage, electronics on the electric current moving direction c can constantly be assembled, as shown in Figure 8, be inner electric field and outer electric field synoptic diagram between the LCD two substrates in the prior art, when applying test voltage u on E → F direction, form external electric field d, internal electron between the LCD two substrates is assembled, after gathering some, the inner internal electric field e that forms of LCD two substrates on F → E direction, inner electric field and outer electric field e like this, the d effect of can cancelling out each other, thereby make the voltage decreases of the ITO layer of underlying TFT substrate, (+electric potential difference between 6V) increases, and causes liquid crystal to polarize easily, causes the liquid crystal molecule deformation quantity can't recover in blink to cause the tco layer of ITO layer and upper strata color membrane substrates, so Module VT Curve method of testing of display panels of the prior art, positive and negative twice test data exists than mistake, had a strong impact on the accuracy of VT curve, and high-precision difficulty data is provided for gamma is tuning; (+the electric potential difference increase between 6V) of layer and the tco layer of upper strata color membrane substrates, cause liquid crystal to polarize easily, cause the liquid crystal molecule deformation quantity in blink, can't recover, so Module VT Curve method of testing of display panels of the prior art, positive and negative twice test data exists than mistake, had a strong impact on the accuracy of VT curve, high-precision difficulty data is provided for gamma is tuning;
2, the reading and write down all and manually carry out of the adjusting of the test voltage in the method for testing of prior art, test data must a people be controlled pressurization, measurement, reading, and another people cooperates record data.Because different liquid crystal deflection characteristic differences, the response speed difference makes the change interval instability between data in the test process, causes mistake easily, has reduced the accuracy of test data.
