Description

显示面板
技术领域
本公开涉及一种显示面板,特别涉及一种用于测试阶段烧机的显示面板。
背景技术
有机发光二极管(Organic light emitting diode,AMOLED)的显示面板,为了提升显示品质,在制造过程中通常需要经过烧机(Burn in)、组装测试(Cell test)以及芯片覆膜(IC bonding)等测试阶段。在目前的面板检测机制中,通常需要针对个别的有机发光二极管提供检测信号,并且在检测完毕后,会将测试引脚切断使得显示面板可以进行后续的显示功能。然而,现有的测试机制在与显示面板断开后,如果显示面板还需要后续的检测时,无法有效地再度通过检测机制重新进行检测,造成后续的不便。
发明内容
本发明提供一种显示面板,其主要是利用像素电路中有机发光二极管阳极端的重置电路架构,再结合额外的开关电路,在测试阶段时可以使能开关电路,利用电源供应器经由测试垫输入所需的电流,直接点亮有机发光二极管,不需要额外的Burn-in治具。在出厂后的显示阶段,禁能开关电路,仍然可以达到原本重置有机发光二极管阳极端的功能,达到节省制造成本并且有效监控显示面板元件的技术效果。
本公开的一实施方式是在提供一种显示面板,显示面板具有主动区以及周边区,周边区设置于主动区的一侧,显示面板包含N条栅极线、N个移位暂存器、多个像素电路、开关电路以及多个测试垫,其中N为正整数。N个移位暂存器设置于周边区,且电性耦接至N条栅极线,用以输出栅极信号。多个像素电路设置于主动区,且电性耦接至N条栅极线,用以接收栅极信号、数据信号以及参考信号。开关电路设置于周边区,且电性耦接至N个移位暂存器、N条栅极线及像素电路,用以接收控制信号以及使能(enable)信号并将N条栅极线的电压电平下拉至低电平。多个测试垫设置于周边区,且电性耦接至开关电路以及像素电路,用以提供控制信号、使能信号、数据信号以及参考信号。
本公开的显示面板主要是利用像素电路中有机发光二极管阳极端的重置电路架构,再结合额外的开关电路,在测试阶段时可以使能开关电路,利用电源供应器经由测试垫输入所需的电流,直接点亮有机发光二极管,不需要额外的Burn-in治具,达到节省制造成本并且有效监控显示面板元件的技术效果。

以下将配合相关附图来说明本发明的实施例。在附图中,相同的标号表示相同或类似的元件或方法流程。
请参阅图1。图1为根据本公开一实施例的显示面板100的示意图。如图1所示出,显示面板100具有主动区AA以及周边区PA,周边区PA设置于主动区AA的一侧。显示面板100包含N条栅极线GL[1]~GL[N]、N个移位暂存器110、多个像素电路120、开关电路130以及多个测试垫140,其中N为正整数。N个移位暂存器110设置于周边区PA,且N个移位暂存器110电性耦接至N条栅极线GL[1]~GL[N],N个移位暂存器110用以输出栅极信号Scan[1]~Scan[N]。像素电路120设置于主动区AA,且电性耦接至N条栅极线GL[1]~GL[N],像素电路120用以接收栅极信号Scan[1]~Scan[N]、数据信号VS以及参考信号OVSS。
承上述,开关电路130设置于周边区PA,且电性耦接至N个移位暂存器110、N条栅极线GL[1]~GL[N]及像素电路120,开关电路130用以接收控制信号SW2以及使能信号SW1并将N条栅极线GL[1]~GL[N]的电压电平下拉至低电平。测试垫140设置于周边区PA,且电性耦接至开关电路130以及像素电路120,测试垫140用以提供控制信号SW2、使能信号SW1、数据信号VS以及参考信号OVSS。其中,数据信号VS包含第一数据信号VR、第二数据信号VG以及第三数据信号VB。
请继续参考图1,测试垫140包含第一测试垫141、第二测试垫142、第三测试垫143、第四测试垫144、第五测试垫145以及第六测试垫146。第一测试垫141电性耦接至像素电路120,用以提供参考信号OVSS至像素电路120。第二测试垫142电性耦接至开关电路130,用以提供控制信号SW2至开关电路140。第三测试垫143电性耦接至开关电路130,用以提供使能信号SW1至开关电路130。第四测试垫144电性耦接至像素电路120,用以提供第一数据信号VR至像素电路120。第五测试垫145电性耦接至像素电路120,用以提供第二数据信号VG至像素电路120。第六测试垫146电性耦接至像素电路120,用以提供第三数据信号VB至像素电路120。
进一步参考图2,图2为根据本公开一实施例的像素电路120的电路图。如图2所示出,像素电路120为8个晶体管1个电容(8T1C)的架构,此像素电路120为现有的像素电路架构。像素电路120包含驱动电路121、测试开关122以及发光二极管OLED。驱动电路121包含写入电路1211、补偿电路1212以及驱动晶体管1213。在本公开的像素电路120中,测试开关122会在测试阶段时作动,但在显示阶段时则是作为像素电路120的重置晶体管T7使用,用以重置发光二极管OLED的阳极端。
承上述,写入电路1211包含晶体管T1及T2以及电容C1,写入电路1211用以接收像素控制信号CTL、扫描信号S3、参考低电压Vref以及数据电压Vdata。补偿电路1212包含晶体管T3、T4、T5及T6,补偿电路1212用以接收像素控制信号CTL、扫描信号S1及S3以及参考低电压Vref并产生补偿电压。驱动晶体管1213包含晶体管T8,用以接收电源高电压OVDD,用以产生流经发光二极管OLED的驱动电流Id。重置晶体管T7用以接收扫描信号S2并重置驱动电路1213的电压电平。
请一并参阅图1及图2。发光二极管OLED的第一端电性耦接至驱动电路121,发光二极管OLED的第二端电性耦接至第一测试垫141。测试开关122的第一端电性耦接至发光二极管OLED的第一端,测试开关122的第二端电性耦接至第四测试垫144、第五测试垫145以及第六测试垫146的其中之一,测试开关122的控制端电性耦接至N条栅极线GL[1]~GL[N]的其中之一。
如图1所示,开关电路130包含N个开关130_1~130_N,N个开关彼此依序串联。举例而言,第1个开关130_1的第一端电性耦接至第1条栅极线GL[1],第1个开关130_1的第二端电性耦接至第2条栅极线GL[2],第1个开关130_1的控制端电性耦接至第二测试垫142。第2个开关130_2的第一端电性耦接至第2条栅极线GL[2],第2个开关130_2的第二端电性耦接至第3条栅极线GL[3],第2个开关130_2的控制端电性耦接至第二测试垫142。由上述可知,第1个开关130_1至第N-1个130_N-1电性耦接在当级栅极线以及下一级栅极线之间,除了第N个开关130_N以外,第N个开关130_N的第一端电性耦接至第N条栅极线GL[N],第N个开关130_N的第二端电性耦接至第三测试垫143,第N个开关130_N的控制端电性耦接至第二测试垫142。
承上述,第二测试垫142输出的控制信号SW2具有第一低电压,因此会使能N个开关130_1~130_N,由于第N个开关130_N的第二端电性耦接至第三测试垫143,由第三测试垫143输入的使能信号SW1具有第二低电压,因此N个开关130_1~130_N可以将栅极信号Scan[1]~Scan[N]拉低至第二低电压,以使能像素电路120中的测试开关122,使得数据信号VS可以输入像素电路120,点亮发光二极管OLED。其中第一低电压小于第二低电压,并且第一低电压与第二低电压之间的电平差至少需要大于开关电路130中的开关的临界电压。
承上述,在一般的显示阶段,第二测试垫142输出的控制信号SW2会切换至高电压,因此会禁能N个开关130_1~130_N,使得开关电路130不会作动,像素电路120的测试开关122则转换成重置晶体管T7的操作,用以重置发光二极管OLED的阳极端,像素电路120可以根据源极驱动电路(图未示)的数据电压进行显示。
于此实施例中,开关电路130的N个晶体管可以利用N型的晶体管来实现,但本实施例并不以此为限,于本公开中也可以用P型晶体管,配合的使能电平切换为正电压来实现。
请再参考图1,于此实施例中,根据第四测试垫144、第五测试垫145以及第六测试垫146将像素电路120分成为三个群,第一群的像素电路120的测试开关122接电性耦接至第四测试垫144,并接收第一数据信号VR。第二群的像素电路120的测试开关122接电性耦接至第五测试垫145,并接收第二数据信号VG。第三群的像素电路120的测试开关122接电性耦接至第六测试垫146,并接收第三数据信号VB。
接着,请参考图3,图3为根据本公开另一实施例的显示面板300的示意图。如图3所示出,图3所示的实施例与图1所示的实施例差异在于,图3所示的开关电路130仅包含N-1个开关130_1~130_N-1,图3所示的开关电路130的操作方式与图1所示的开关电路130相同,当控制信号SW2使能开关电路130时,使能信号SW1用以将栅极信号Scan[1]~Scan[N]拉低至第二低电压,以使能像素电路120中的测试开关122。图3所示的开关电路130的第N-1个开关130_N-1的第一端电性耦接至第N-1条栅极线GL[N-1],第N-1个开关130_N-1的第二端电性耦接至第N条栅极线GL[N],第N-1个开关130_N-1的控制端电性耦接至第二测试垫142。于此实施例中,缺少第N个开关130_N的用处在于,可以通过第三试垫143测试第N条栅极线GL[N]的栅极信号Scan[N],不需要再额外接出一个测试垫测试栅极信号。
请参阅图4。图4为根据本公开另一实施例的显示面板400的示意图。如图4所示出,图4所示的实施例与图1所示的实施例差异在于,图4所示的测试垫140包含第一测试垫141、第二测试垫142、第三测试垫143、第七测试垫147。第一测试垫141电性耦接至像素电路120,用以提供参考信号OVSS至像素电路120。第二测试垫142电性耦接至开关电路130,用以提供控制信号SW2至开关电路140。第三测试垫143电性耦接至开关电路130,用以提供使能信号SW1至开关电路130。第七测试垫147电性耦接至像素电路120,用以提供数据信号VOLED至像素电路120。图4所示的实施例与图1所示的实施例差异在于,图1所示的像素电路120分成三个群,并且分别电性耦接至第四测试垫144、第五测试垫145以及第六测试垫146。图4所示的像素电路120的测试开关122的第二端皆电性耦接至第七测试垫147,于图4所示的实施例中,像素电路120只会接收到第七测试垫147提供的数据信号VOLED,因此在测试时无法像图1所示的实施例可以同时输入三个不同的电压电平(第一数据信号VR、第二数据信号VG及第三数据信号VB),点亮发光二极管OLED。
请参阅图5。图5为根据本公开另一实施例的显示面板500的示意图。如图5所示出,图5所示的实施例与图4所示的实施例差异在于,图5所示的开关电路130仅包含N-1个开关130_1~130_N-1,图5所示的开关电路130的操作方式与图3所示的开关电路130相同,在此不再赘述。
综上所述,本公开的显示面板主要是利用像素电路中有机发光二极管阳极端的重置电路架构,再结合额外的开关电路,在测试阶段时可以使能开关电路,利用电源供应器经由测试垫输入所需的电流,直接点亮有机发光二极管,不需要额外的Burn-in治具。在出厂后的显示阶段,禁能开关电路,仍然可以达到原本重置有机发光二极管阳极端的功能,达到节省制造成本并且有效监控显示面板元件的技术效果。
在说明书及权利要求中使用了某些词汇来指称特定的元件。然而,所属技术领域中技术人员应可理解,同样的元件可能会用不同的名词来称呼。说明书及权利要求并不以名称的差异做为区分元件的方式,而是以元件在功能上的差异来做为区分的基准。在说明书及权利要求所提及的“包含”为开放式的用语,故应解释成“包含但不限定于”。另外,“耦接”在此包含任何直接及间接的连接手段。因此,若文中描述第一元件耦接于第二元件,则代表第一元件可通过电性连接或无线传输、光学传输等信号连接方式而直接地连接于第二元件,或者通过其他元件或连接手段间接地电性或信号连接至该第二元件。
另外,除非说明书中特别指明,否则任何单数格的用语都同时包含复数格的涵义。
以上仅为本发明的优选实施例,凡依本发明权利要求所做的均等变化与修饰,皆应属本发明的涵盖范围。
