Fig. 5 is the structural representation according to the silica-based liquid crystal panel of the employing look preface method of one embodiment of the invention.With reference to Fig. 5, silica-based liquid crystal panel 500 comprises a plurality of pixel P51~P54, a plurality of switch SW 51~SW52, a plurality of switch unit 511~512 and a plurality of testing cushion 521~522.Pixel P51~P54 adopts precharge mechanism, so each pixel comprises a pre-charging capacitor, a liquid crystal capacitance, an impact damper and two pixel switches.For instance, pixel P51 comprises pre-charging capacitor CP51, liquid crystal capacitance CL51, impact damper 501 and two pixel switch M512 and M513.In addition, in order to control two pixel switches under the precharge mechanisms respectively, each pixel is electrically connected to one scan distribution, respectively and shows a distribution and a data wiring.For example, pixel P51 is electrically connected to scan wiring SL51, shows distribution PL51 and data wiring DL51.
In addition, in order directly to measure the change in voltage of liquid crystal capacitance when the test pixel, each pixel also comprises the pixel switch between the output terminal that is electrically connected at data wiring and impact damper.For instance, pixel P51 is except comprising two pixel switch M512 and the M513, also comprise another pixel switch M511 that wherein pixel switch M511 is electrically connected between the output terminal of data wiring DL51 and impact damper 501.Moreover for test pixel, an end of each data wiring can be electrically connected to a switch, and its other end can be electrically connected to a testing cushion through a switching unit.For example, the end of data wiring DL51 is electrically connected to switch SW 51, and its other end is electrically connected to testing cushion 521 through switch unit 511.
On practical layout, the electric pole plate of liquid crystal capacitance CL51~CL54 all is arranged on same layout layers, and its electric pole plate presents the arrangement of matrix pattern.Therefore, the combination of liquid crystal capacitance incorrect link for example comprises: the incorrect link of the liquid crystal capacitance in the incorrect link of the liquid crystal capacitance in the adjacent pixels of the left and right sides and the neighbouring pixel.For instance; As shown in Figure 5; The incorrect link that pixel electrode caused of short circuit possibly form a dead resistance R51 between liquid crystal capacitance CL53 and CL54, and then causes two adjacent pixel P53 of the left and right sides and liquid crystal capacitance CL53 among the P54 and the incorrect link of CL54.Fig. 6 is the structural representation according to the silica-based liquid crystal panel of the employing look preface method of another embodiment of the present invention; As shown in Figure 6; The incorrect link that pixel electrode caused of short circuit also possibly form a dead resistance R52 between liquid crystal capacitance CL51 and CL53, and then causes two neighbouring pixel P51 and liquid crystal capacitance CL51 among the P53 and the incorrect link of CL53.
Below please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, about the test of the liquid crystal capacitance in the adjacent pixels of the left and right sides.Shown in step S410, in the process of the incorrect link of testing liquid crystal capacitance, the impact damper of each pixel will be by forbidden energy.For instance, the impact damper 501~504 among pixel P51~P54 this moment will can not be activated.In addition, shown in step S420, scan wiring will be driven with the demonstration distribution.For instance, will provide this moment high voltage to scan wiring SL51~SL52 and demonstration distribution PL1~PL52, with each pixel switch among switch on pixel P51~P54.By this, the liquid crystal capacitance CL51~CL54 among pixel P51~P54 and pre-charging capacitor CP51~CP54 are with being electrically connected to corresponding data wiring respectively.
Then; Shown in step S430; Transmit first test voltage odd number bar data wiring in the bar data wiring at the most, and transmit the even number bar data wiring in second test voltage to said many data wirings, wherein second test voltage is not equal to first test voltage.For instance, this moment switch SW 51 with SW52 with conducting, with cause panel driver (not showing) transmit respectively first test voltage (for example: 0V) with second test voltage (for example: 6V) give data wiring DL51 and DL52.By this, the liquid crystal capacitance CL53 that is electrically connected to data wiring DL51 will charge to first test voltage (for example: 0V), and the liquid crystal capacitance CL54 that is electrically connected to data wiring DL52 (for example: 6V) will charge to second test voltage.

And know that the liquid crystal capacitance CL53 that is positioned at first row has the different voltages with different level with the liquid crystal capacitance CL54 that is positioned at second row.Therefore, when forming dead resistance R51, shown in current path 530, will produce electric charge through dead resistance R51 between liquid crystal capacitance CL53 and the CL54 and share, and then cause the voltage level of liquid crystal capacitance CL53 to change when the pixel electrode short circuit.By this, when data wiring DL51 was maintained at the state of suspension joint, through the comparison of the measuring voltage and first test voltage, whether the liquid crystal capacitance that can differentiate in the adjacent pixels of the left and right sides was electrical connected.
Wherein, when measuring voltage and first test voltage were unequal, then the decidable liquid crystal capacitance CL53 that is positioned at first row was electrical connected with the liquid crystal capacitance CL54 that is positioned at second row.Relatively, when measuring voltage equated with first test voltage, then decidable was positioned at the liquid crystal capacitance CL53 of first row and is positioned at the second capable liquid crystal capacitance CL54 and is not electrical connected.Relatively; When data wiring DL52 is maintained at the state of suspension joint; Can obtain measuring voltage through the data wiring DL52 that measures suspension joint, and can be through the comparison of the measuring voltage and second test voltage, whether the liquid crystal capacitance of differentiating in the adjacent pixels of the left and right sides is electrical connected.
Fig. 7 is the method for testing process flow diagram according to the display panels of another embodiment of the present invention.Wherein, the described method of testing of Fig. 7 is to be example with the silica-based liquid crystal panel that adopts look preface method, and in order to test the incorrect link of the liquid crystal capacitance in the neighbouring pixel.Therefore, below please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, about the test of the liquid crystal capacitance in the neighbouring pixel, and following will be that example describes with M pixel P51 and the P53 that is electrically connected to data wiring DL51, wherein M equals 2.

For instance, be example with the 1st pixel P51, will provide this moment high voltage to scan wiring SL51 and demonstration distribution PL1, with the pixel switch M511~M513 among the switch on pixel P51.In addition, switch SW 51 (for example: 6V) to data wiring DL51 transmits first test voltage with conducting to cause panel driver (not showing).By this; Pixel switch M511~the M513 of conducting can be with from first test voltage of data wiring DL51 (for example: 6V) be sent to liquid crystal capacitance CL51 and pre-charging capacitor CP51, and then cause liquid crystal capacitance CL51 and pre-charging capacitor CP51 (for example: 6V) to charge to first test voltage.In other words, the thin portion flow process of step S720 comprises: drive j bar scan wiring and j bar and show distribution; And, transmit first test voltage to data wiring.
Then, shown in step S730, liquid crystal capacitance and pre-charging capacitor in (j+1) individual pixel are charged to second test voltage, wherein first test voltage is not equal to second test voltage.
For instance, after the 1st pixel P51 charged, will charge to next pixel P53.At this moment, with driven sweep wiring SL 52 and demonstration distribution PL52, remaining scan wiring is not then driven with the demonstration distribution.By this, the pixel switch M531~M533 among the pixel P53 will be switched on.In addition, panel driving can (for example: 0V) to data wiring DL51 transmit second test voltage through the switch SW 51 of conducting.By this, (for example: 0V) will be sent to liquid crystal capacitance CL53 and pre-charging capacitor CP53, and then cause liquid crystal capacitance CL53 and pre-charging capacitor CP53 (for example: 0V) to charge to second test voltage from second test voltage of data wiring DL51.In other words, the thin portion flow process of step S730 comprises: drive (j+1) bar scan wiring and (j+1) bar and show distribution; And, transmit second test voltage to data wiring.
Moreover, shown in step S740, during driving (j+1) bar scan wiring and (j+1) bar demonstration distribution, the impact damper in j pixel of activation, and suspension joint data wiring.For instance, during driven sweep wiring SL 52 and demonstration distribution PL52, the impact damper 501 among the last pixel P51 can be enabled, and passes through the not conducting of switch SW 51, and data wiring DL51 will be switched to floating.That is to say that during driven sweep wiring SL 52 and demonstration distribution PL52, pixel P53 can charge, and will drive the impact damper 501 among the pixel P51 afterwards, and suspension joint data wiring DL51.
In addition, shown in step S750, during driving (j+1) bar scan wiring and (j+1) bar demonstration distribution,, whether be electrical connected to judge the liquid crystal capacitance in j pixel and (j+1) individual pixel through the data wiring of testing cushion measurement suspension joint.For instance, through the switching of switch unit 511, testing cushion 521 can be electrically connected to the data wiring DL51 of suspension joint through switch unit 511, and then measure a measuring voltage.And know that the liquid crystal capacitance CL51 that is positioned at first row has the different voltages with different level with the liquid crystal capacitance CL53 that is positioned at secondary series.Therefore; As shown in Figure 6, when forming dead resistance R52, shown in current path 540 when the pixel electrode short circuit; Driven impact damper 501 will cause liquid crystal capacitance CL51 to share with the electric charge between the CL53 through dead resistance R52, and then cause the voltage level of liquid crystal capacitance CL53 to change.By this, through the comparison of the measuring voltage and second test voltage, whether the liquid crystal capacitance that can differentiate in the neighbouring pixel is electrical connected.
Wherein, when measuring voltage and second test voltage are unequal, then represent the voltage level of liquid crystal capacitance CL53 to change, be electrical connected with the liquid crystal capacitance CL53 that is positioned at secondary series so decidable is positioned at the liquid crystal capacitance CL51 of first row.Relatively, when measuring voltage equates with second test voltage, then represent the voltage level of liquid crystal capacitance CL53 not change, be not electrical connected with the liquid crystal capacitance CL53 that is positioned at secondary series so decidable is positioned at the liquid crystal capacitance CL51 of first row.
In sum, the present invention charges to different test voltages respectively with pixel, and the partial data distribution is switched to floating.By this, whether the measuring voltage that obtains through the data wiring of measuring suspension joint can form wrong connection in order to the liquid crystal capacitance of differentiating in the pixel in response to the short circuit of pixel electrode.In addition, method of testing of the present invention can detect the problem of liquid crystal capacitance incorrect link immediately when Silicon Wafer dispatches from the factory, and therefore can reduce the production time and the production cost of panel.
Though the present invention with embodiment openly as above; Right its is not that those skilled in the art are not breaking away from the spirit and scope of the present invention in order to qualification the present invention; When doing a little change and retouching, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion when looking the appended claims person of defining.
