Description

Display panel and repairing method thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a display panel and a repairing method thereof, and more particularly, to a display panel with led connecting lines and a repairing method thereof.
Background
Light emitting diodes have high energy conversion efficiency, small size and long service life, and are widely used in various electronic products, such as indication, illumination or display devices to provide images. Briefly, a light emitting diode having a light emitting layer and at least two semiconductor layers can be manufactured by manufacturers by adjusting the materials used for the light emitting layer and the semiconductor layers. Due to various advantages, manufacturers are working on applying leds to display panels to provide high image quality and reduce manufacturing cost.
Generally, the diode device has a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and when the light emitting diode is to be disposed in a pixel unit of the display panel, the two electrodes of the diode device need to be disposed on the corresponding pads, respectively. However, the manufacturing process is not perfect, and thus when the diode device is disposed on the display panel, the two electrodes of the diode device and the bonding pad may not be electrically connected smoothly due to misalignment, resulting in an open-circuit defect state. In this case, even if power is supplied to the display panel, the pixel cell having the open defect state cannot be lit. On the other hand, when the diode element is disposed on the display panel, the structure of the diode element may be melted or deformed due to improper force application or improper heating, and the diode element may become a good conductor, resulting in a short-circuit defect state. Alternatively, a single electrode of the diode element contacts the pads with two polarities, which may cause a short-circuit defect state. In the short defect condition, when power is supplied to the display panel, other pixel units are abnormally lighted.
In the current industry development, the miniaturization of light emitting diodes is expected to be the next generation of semiconductor technology. With current technology, the size of light emitting diodes has been miniaturized to the micrometer scale. However, as the size of the led tends to be smaller, the influence of the variation in the epitaxial quality on different leds is greater. In some display panel processes, a same epitaxial wafer is processed into a micro light emitting diode, and then transferred (mass transfer) to a substrate with a driving circuit. During the bulk transfer process, there is also an opportunity for the open defect state or the short defect state as described above.

Detailed Description
The detailed features and advantages of the present invention are described in detail in the following embodiments, which are sufficient for a person skilled in the art to understand the technical contents of the present invention and to implement the present invention, and the related objects and advantages of the present invention can be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present specification, claims and drawings. The following examples further illustrate aspects of the present invention in detail, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.
Referring to fig. 1A and 1B, fig. 1A is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the invention, and fig. 1B is a schematic structural diagram of a circuit substrate of the display panel according to the embodiment of the invention. It should be noted that, for simplicity and clarity, only some of the components of the display panel are described below, and the total number of the components or the relative positions of all the components of the display panel are not limited thereby.
As shown in fig. 1A, the display panel 1 has a plurality of light emitting diodes D and a circuit substrate S. The size and the manufacturing process of the light emitting diode D are not limited herein. In an embodiment, the light emitting diode D is a micro light emitting diode (micro LED), but not limited thereto. The light emitting diodes D are spaced apart from each other and bonded to the circuit substrate S. In one embodiment, a portion of the leds D is used to provide red light, another portion of the leds D is used to provide blue light, and another portion of the leds D is used to provide green light. In another embodiment, a portion of the leds D are configured to provide red light, another portion of the leds D are configured to provide blue light, another portion of the leds D are configured to provide green light, and another portion of the leds D are configured to provide white light.
As shown in fig. 1B, the circuit substrate S has a plurality of first conductive lines w1, a plurality of second conductive lines w2 and a plurality of conductive traces (shown in the following drawings). In fig. 1B, the longitudinal wires are defined as first wires w1, and the transverse wires are defined as second wires w 2. In practice, the circuit substrate S defines a plurality of sub-pixel regions ZP. The light emitting diodes D are respectively and correspondingly arranged in the sub-pixel areas to form a plurality of sub-pixel units with corresponding circuits. One of the sub-pixel units is electrically connected to one of the first wires w1 and one of the second wires w 2. The first conductive wire w1 and the second conductive wire w2 are made of metal, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO), or Indium Tin Zinc Oxide (ITZO), for example. The first conductive line w1 and the second conductive line w2 are electrically insulated from each other and do not contact each other. In practice, the first conductive line w1 and the second conductive line w2 are routed on different layers of the display panel 1, or an insulating layer is disposed between the overlapping portions of the first conductive line w1 and the second conductive line w2 to prevent the first conductive line w1 and the second conductive line w2 from contacting each other. The above description is exemplary only, and not intended to be limiting.
In an embodiment, the plurality of conductive traces are respectively disposed in the plurality of sub-pixel regions of the circuit substrate S, each of the conductive traces is electrically connected to one of the corresponding first wires w1 and one of the corresponding second wires w2, and each of the conductive traces is used for electrically connecting one of the plurality of light emitting diodes D. In other words, each led D is electrically connected to the corresponding first conductive line w1 and the corresponding second conductive line w2, or even the corresponding pixel circuit, respectively through each conductive connection. It should be noted that in the view of fig. 1B, the sub-pixel region ZP is located in the closed polygonal space surrounded by the two first wires w1 and the two second wires w2, but in practice, the sub-pixel region may also cross over the first wires w1 or the second wires w2 and is not located in the closed polygonal space. The present invention provides a plurality of different display panels, and the conducting lines of the different display panels have different structures, which are illustrated below.
Fig. 2A is a schematic view of a conducting circuit of a display panel according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2A is a schematic view of the conducting circuit. Fig. 2A illustrates a conductive line in the sub-pixel region ZP. As shown in fig. 2A, the conductive trace 10 includes a first pad 110, a second pad 120, a third pad 130 and a connecting portion 160. The first pad portion 110 is electrically connected to one of the first wires w 1. In this embodiment, the first pad portion 110 is electrically connected to the corresponding first conductive line w1 through the through hole V. The third pad portion 130 is electrically connected to one of the second wires w 2. It should be noted that in the drawing relation of fig. 1B, the elements in the sub-pixel area ZP are connected to the first conducting line w1 at the left side of the sub-pixel area ZP and the second conducting line w2 above the sub-pixel area ZP, and in the drawing relation of fig. 2A, the elements in the sub-pixel area ZP are connected to the first conducting line w1 at the left side of the sub-pixel area ZP and the second conducting line w2 below the sub-pixel area ZP. It is understood by those skilled in the art that the elements in the sub-pixel region ZP only need to be connected to one of the first wires w1 and one of the second wires w2, and their relative orientations can be arranged according to actual needs and are not limited to a certain relative position.
The first pad portions 110 are used to electrically connect the first electrodes of the corresponding light emitting diodes D. The second pad receiving portion 120 is spaced apart from the first pad receiving portion 110 by a first gap g 1. In practice, the gap width of the first gap g1 is not greater than the distance between two electrodes of the led D. The second pad portions 120 are used for electrically connecting the second electrodes of the corresponding light emitting diodes D. The third pad receiving portion 130 is separated from the second pad receiving portion 120 by a second gap g 2. The second pad parts 120 are located between the first pad parts 110 and the third pad parts 130. The connection portion 160 connects the second pad portion 120 and the third pad portion 130. In this embodiment, the conductive traces 10 and the second conductive traces w2 are formed by the same mask or the same etching process, for example.
In more detail, the sub-pixel region ZP further defines a primary bonding region ZM, a first secondary bonding region ZS1 and a second secondary bonding region ZS 2. The main junction region ZM refers to a region where the light emitting diode D is joined to the first and second pad portions 110 and 120. The primary zone ZM and the first secondary zone ZS1 do not overlap. Portions of the first pad portions 110 and portions of the second pad portions 120 are encompassed within the primary land zone ZM; alternatively, portions of the first pad portions 110 and portions of the second pad portions 120 are located at the primary engagement zone ZM. Another portion of the first pad portion 110 and another portion of the second pad portion 120 are covered in the first secondary junction ZS 1; alternatively, another portion of the first pad portion 110 and another portion of the second pad portion 120 are located at the first secondary junction ZS 1. The second sub-junction ZS2 covers part of the second pad portion 120 and the third pad portion 130. The led D corresponding to the conductive trace 10 is electrically connected to the first pad portion 110 and the second pad portion 120 in the main junction region ZM by the first electrode and the second electrode, respectively.
On the other hand, the connection part 160 has a to-be-cut section 1610, and the to-be-cut section 1610 has a to-be-cut width wt 1. The width wt1 to be cut is less than the width wt2 of the second pad parts 120, and the width wt1 to be cut is less than the width wt3 of the third pad parts 130. Please refer to the following description for details.
In practice, the circuit substrate S is fabricated first in the manufacturing process. At this time, the conductive lines in each sub-pixel region of the circuit substrate S have the structure shown in fig. 2A, for example. Then, the light emitting diodes D are bonded to the main bonding region ZM on the circuit substrate S to form a preliminary product of the display panel. However, during the bonding process, there is a possibility that a short defect state or an open defect state may be formed. With the defect structure, the preliminary product of the display panel can be repaired by a corresponding repairing method to overcome the short-circuit defect state or the open-circuit defect state. The manner of repair when the primary land ZM has an open defect state and the manner of repair when the primary land ZM has a short defect state will be described separately later.
Referring to fig. 2B, it is illustrated how to overcome the open defect state in the embodiment shown in fig. 2A when the sub-pixel region ZP has an open defect, and fig. 2B is a schematic structural diagram of a repaired bonding wire of the display panel according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the sub-pixel region ZP, the open defect state refers to that the first pad portion 110 and the second pad portion 120 are still electrically insulated or isolated after the light emitting diode D is disposed in the sub-pixel region ZP. That is, even if power is supplied to the display panel 1, the light emitting diodes D disposed in the sub-pixel regions ZP cannot emit light. At this time, the spare light emitting diode Db1 is disposed in the first sub junction zone ZS 1. If the two electrodes of the spare led Db1 are properly connected to the first pad part 110 and the second pad part 120 of the first sub-junction ZS1, the open defect state of the sub-pixel ZP can be overcome, and the sub-pixel ZP can normally emit light.
Referring to fig. 2C, it is illustrated how the short defect state is overcome in the embodiment shown in fig. 2A when the sub-pixel region ZP has a short defect, and fig. 2C is a schematic structural diagram of another repaired conductive connection circuit of the display panel according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the sub-pixel region ZP, in a broad sense, the short defect state means that the first pad portion 110 and the second pad portion 120 are electrically connected to each other even though the light emitting diode D is not turned on after the light emitting diode D is disposed in the sub-pixel region ZP. That is, when power is supplied to the display panel 1, the first pad part 110 and the second pad part 120 form a short circuit, so that the light emitting diode D disposed in the sub-pixel region cannot be normally turned on. As shown in fig. 2C, a second sub bonding zone ZS2 is defined in the sub pixel zone ZP. The portions of the second pad portions 120 and the portions of the third pad portions 130 are located at the second sub-junction ZS2, or the portions of the second pad portions 120 and the portions of the third pad portions 130 are covered at the second sub-junction ZS 2. As described above, when the short defect state exists in the sub-pixel region ZP, the spare light emitting diode Db2 is disposed in the second sub-bonding region ZS 2. In addition, the to-be-cut section 1610 of the connection part 160 is broken. When the two electrodes of the spare led Db1 are properly connected to the second pad portion 120 and the third pad portion 130 of the second sub-bonding zone ZS2 and the connection portion 160 is successfully disconnected, the short-circuit defect of the sub-pixel zone ZP can be overcome, and the sub-pixel zone ZP can recover to emit light normally.
In practice, the connection portion 160 may be burned off by laser or may be cut by chemical etching, mechanical method, etc., without limitation. As described above, the width wt1 to be cut of the section 1610 to be cut is less than the width wt2 of the second pad parts 120, and the width wt1 to be cut is less than the width wt3 of the third pad parts 130. That is, the width wt1 to be cut is relatively narrow, making the section 1610 to be cut easier to cut. In this embodiment. Each portion of the connecting portion 160 has substantially the same width, and thus, each portion of the connecting portion 160 can be used as a segment 1610 to be cut. In other words, in this embodiment, the to-be-cut segment 1610 is not limited to the position shown in fig. 2C, i.e., the connecting portion 160 in this embodiment can be disconnected at any position.
On the other hand, as shown in the drawings, the second pad portion 120 has a first side edge S1 and a second side edge S2, and the third pad portion 130 has a third side edge S3 and a fourth side edge S4. In this embodiment, the first side S1 is connected to the second side S2, and the third side S3 is connected to the fourth side S4. The first side S1 is not collinear with the second side S2, and the third side S3 is not collinear with the fourth side S4. The second gap g2 is located between the first side S1 and the third side S3. The two ends of the connecting portion 160 are respectively connected to the second side S2 of the second pad portion 120 and the fourth side S4 of the third pad portion 130, and the connecting portion 160 is located outside the second gap g 2. Therefore, the connecting portion 160 may have a suitable serpentine shape as required to facilitate cutting. Moreover, since the connection portion 160 is located outside the second gap g2, other structures of the conductive trace 10 or other elements in the sub-pixel region ZP are less likely to be damaged when the connection portion 160 is cut. However, in another type of embodiment, the connecting portion is located in the second gap, that is, two ends of the connecting portion are respectively connected to the first side edge of the second pad portion and the third side edge of the third pad portion. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is saved.
In light of the above, the present invention provides a method for repairing a display panel, please refer to fig. 3, and fig. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a step of a method for repairing a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. The repairing method of the display panel is suitable for the display panel comprising the circuit substrate and the plurality of light emitting diodes. The circuit substrate is provided with a plurality of conducting lines. One of the conductive lines is electrically connected to one of the light emitting diodes.
