Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, the present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. Example embodiments may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and thus their repetitive description will be omitted. The words expressing the position and direction described in the present invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, but may be changed as required and still be within the scope of the present invention. The drawings of the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent true scale.
It should be noted that in the following description, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The invention can be implemented in a number of ways different from those described herein and similar generalizations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below. The description which follows is a preferred embodiment of the present application, but is made for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the application and not for the purpose of limiting the scope of the application. The protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the definitions of the appended claims.
The following describes a display panel, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The thicknesses and shapes of the respective components in the drawings do not reflect the true scale of the display device, and are merely intended to schematically illustrate the present invention.
In the prior art, two ways of binding a driver Chip to Glass (Chip On Glass, for short, COG) and binding the driver Chip to a flexible circuit board (Chip On Film, for short, COF) are generally adopted for the binding manner of the driver Chip. The binding structure of the COG is shown in fig. 1, and the display panel 1 needs to reserve binding regions for the flexible circuit board 2 and the driver chip 3 in a lower step region shown by a dotted line frame of the lower frame, and bind the flexible circuit board 2 and the driver chip to the lower step region respectively. The binding structure of the COG occupies a large size of the lower step and does not meet the requirement of a narrow frame.
Therefore, a COF bonding structure is proposed, as shown in fig. 2, the COF bonding structure is to bond the flexible circuit board 2 to the lower step area of the display panel 1 shown by the dotted line frame of the lower frame, and then expand the flexible circuit board, so that a part of the area of the flexible circuit board is exclusively used for bonding the driving chip 3. However, the flexible circuit board 2 is made of a flexible film material and lacks rigidity, and when the driving chip 3 is bound on the flexible circuit board 2, the flexible circuit board 2 hardly supports the driving chip, which easily causes the driving chip to break and has poor reliability.
In view of the above, a first aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel, fig. 3 is a schematic top view structure diagram of the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the display panel along a direction II' in fig. 3; as shown in fig. 3, the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes: an array substrate 100, a flexible circuit board 20 and a driving chip 30; the array substrate is divided into a display area AA and a non-display area NA. As shown in fig. 3, in the non-display area NA1 at one edge of the array substrate 100, the flexible circuit board 20 is bound to the non-display area NA 1; as shown in fig. 4, the driving chip 30 is bonded to a side of the flexible circuit board 20 away from the non-display area NA 1; the driving chip 30 is electrically connected to the array substrate 100 through the line x inside the flexible circuit board 20.
As can be seen from fig. 3, in the display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention, the orthographic projection of the driver chip 30 on the array substrate 100 is located in the binding region of the flexible circuit board 20 in the non-display area NA1 of the array substrate 100, and therefore, the binding of the driver chip 30 does not occupy the lower step region of the array substrate in the non-display area NA1, which is beneficial to realizing a narrow bezel. As can be seen from fig. 4, in the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the driving chip 30 is electrically connected to the array substrate 100 through the circuit inside the flexible circuit board 20, and the driving chip 30 is finally bound to the lower step area of the array substrate, which has higher hardness and higher impact resistance than the flexible circuit board 20, so that the impact resistance reliability of the driving chip can be improved. Meanwhile, the flexible circuit board 20 does not need to be specially widened for binding the driving chip, so that the cost is saved.
In order to clearly show the binding pins on each component, the embodiment of the present invention disassembles the component with the binding pins from the above components. Fig. 5 is a schematic top view of the array substrate 100 facing the flexible circuit board 20, and as shown in fig. 5, the array substrate 100 includes: a plurality of first bonding pins 11; fig. 6 is a schematic top view of the flexible circuit board 20 facing the array substrate 100, and as shown in fig. 6, the surface of the flexible circuit board 20 facing the array substrate 100 includes: a plurality of second bonding pins 21 corresponding to the first bonding pins 11 one to one; fig. 7 is a schematic top view of the flexible circuit board 20 facing the driving chip 30, and as shown in fig. 7, a surface of the flexible circuit board 20 facing the driving chip 30 includes: a plurality of third bonding pins 22 corresponding to the respective second bonding pins 21 one to one; fig. 8 is a schematic top view of the driving chip 30 facing the flexible circuit board 20, and as shown in fig. 8, the driving chip 30 includes: a plurality of fourth bonding pins 31 corresponding one-to-one to the respective third bonding pins 22. The connection relationship among the array substrate 100, the flexible circuit board 20 and the bonding pins of the driver chip 30 is shown in fig. 9, the first bonding pin 11 is bonded to the corresponding second bonding pin 21, the second bonding pin 21 is connected to the corresponding third bonding pin 22 through a line x inside the flexible circuit board, and the third bonding pin 22 is bonded to the corresponding fourth bonding pin 31.
The second binding pin 21 of the flexible circuit board 20 and the corresponding third binding pin 22 are conducted through a line x inside the flexible circuit board, and then when the fourth binding pin 31 of the driver chip 30 is bound to the third binding pin 22 corresponding to the flexible circuit board and the first binding pin 11 of the array substrate 100 is bound to the second binding pin 21 corresponding to the flexible circuit board 20, the driver chip is conducted with the array substrate through the line inside the flexible circuit board. In practical applications, the array substrate further includes a plurality of data signal lines extending in parallel, and the data signal lines may be used to transmit data signals for lighting up each pixel in the display panel.
Fig. 10 is another schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the display panel according to the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 10, the second bonding pin 21 and the corresponding third bonding pin 22 can be conducted through a via 23 penetrating through the flexible circuit board 20; wherein, the hole wall of the via hole 23 is plated with a conductive material; alternatively, the interior of the via is filled with a conductive material.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the second bonding pin 21 and the third bonding pin 22 are correspondingly disposed on two surfaces of the flexible circuit board, and the via holes 23 at corresponding positions are electrically connected, so that the driving chip 30 can be electrically connected to the array substrate 100 through the flexible circuit board 20. Compared to the COF bonding technology, the circuit design of the flexible circuit board 20 for connecting the driver chip to the array substrate is much simpler. In practical applications, a conductive material may be plated on the wall of the via 23, or a conductive material may be filled inside the via, so that the second and third bonding pins 21 and 22 may be electrically connected through the conductive material. In addition, a wire may be disposed in the via hole, and two ends of the wire are respectively connected to the second binding pin 21 and the third binding pin 22, and the second binding pin 21 and the third binding pin 22 may also be electrically connected, which is not limited herein.
In an actual manufacturing process, the light guide material may be a metal material, and the light guide material and the bonding pin are manufactured by using the same metal material. In addition, according to the requirement, a conductive material made of other materials may be used to fill the via hole, and the second bonding pin 21 and the third bonding pin 22 may also be electrically connected, which is not limited herein in the embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 11 is another schematic top view of the flexible circuit board according to the embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 11, the diameter of the via hole 23 may be set to be larger than the width of the second bonding pin 21. The via hole 23 has a larger diameter, which is beneficial for the second binding pin 21 and the third binding pin 22 to be fully connected with the via hole 23, and the diameter of the via hole 23 is larger, so that the fault-tolerant space for the second binding pin 21 and the third binding pin 22 can be relatively larger, and even if the second binding pin 21 and the corresponding third binding pin 22 have a certain dislocation in position, the second binding pin 21 and the third binding pin 22 can be electrically connected through the via hole 23. Further, the larger the diameter of the via hole 23 is set, and the smaller the resistance value by the via hole itself is, the load by the line itself can be reduced.
Fig. 12 is another schematic top view of the flexible circuit board according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 12, the second bonding pins 21 are strip-shaped pins extending along the same direction and arranged in an array; the via holes 23 corresponding to two adjacent second bonding pins 21 in the row direction are respectively connected to different ends in the extending direction of the corresponding strip-shaped pins. The through holes 23 connected with the second binding pins 21 are arranged on different ends of the second binding pins 21 in a staggered manner, so that the space between the second binding pins 21 can be effectively reduced, and the space occupied by the whole binding pins is reduced. As shown in fig. 12, the via holes 23 corresponding to the second bonding pins 21 in the odd-numbered columns are respectively connected to the upper ends of the corresponding second bonding pins 21, and the via holes 23 corresponding to the second bonding pins 21 in the even-numbered columns are respectively connected to the lower ends of the corresponding second bonding pins 21. Adjacent two vias 23 do not overlap each other in the row direction. In practical applications, the pitch between two adjacent second bonding pins 21 can be adaptively adjusted according to the diameter of the via 23.
In practical implementation, the diameter of the via 23 in the embodiment of the present invention may be 39-50 μm, the width of the second bonding pin 21 is at least 15 μm, the length of the second bonding pin is at least 100 μm, and the distance between two adjacent second bonding pins 21 is at least 24 μm. At present, due to the horizontal limitation of the manufacturing process, there is a certain limitation on the lower limit value of the diameter of the manufactured via 23, and it is appropriate to set the diameter of the via 23 within the range of 39-50 μm on the premise of ensuring the manufacturing yield and the diameter of the via 23 to be properly larger than the width of the second bonding pin 21. When the positional relationship between the via 23 and the second bonding pin 21 is as shown in fig. 12, in order to avoid a line short circuit caused by mutual contact between two adjacent vias in the row direction and the column direction, it is necessary to set the length of the second bonding pin 21 to be at least 100 μm and set the pitch between the adjacent second bonding pins 21 to be at least 24 μm. It should be noted that, when the manufacturing process is improved or the actual circuit design is changed, the actual processing size of the via 23 and the second bonding pin 21 may exceed the above-mentioned limit range, and therefore, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific size of the via 23 and the bonding pin.
Fig. 13 is another schematic top view structure diagram of the side of the flexible circuit board 20 facing the driving chip 30 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and correspondingly, fig. 14 is another schematic top view structure diagram of the side of the driving chip 30 facing the flexible circuit board 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 13, the surface of the flexible circuit board 20 facing the side of the driving chip 30 further includes: a plurality of fifth bonding pins 24; as shown in fig. 14, the driving chip further includes: a plurality of sixth bonding pins 32 corresponding to the fifth bonding pins 24 one to one; the third binding pin 22 is an output pin of the flexible circuit board 20, and the fourth binding pin 31 is an output pin of the driver chip 30; the fifth bonding pin 24 is an input pin of the flexible circuit board 20, and the sixth bonding pin 32 is an input pin of the driver chip 30.
In a specific implementation, while the third bonding pin 22 is bonded to the corresponding fourth bonding pin 31, the fifth bonding pin 24 needs to be bonded to the corresponding sixth bonding pin 32. The sixth binding pin 32 of the driver chip 30 and the fifth binding pin 24 of the flexible circuit board 20 are both input pins, the fifth binding pin 24 is connected to an internal circuit in the flexible circuit board 20 and is finally connected to a processing chip or other devices in a motherboard of the display device, the fifth binding pin 24 is used for transmitting a control signal at one side of the motherboard to the driver chip 30 through the connected sixth binding pin 32, so that the driving chip 30 outputs a data signal for display to the display panel side according to the control signal, the data signal may be transmitted to the first bonding pin 11 of the array substrate 100 through the third bonding pin 22 of the connected flexible circuit board 20, the via 23 and the second bonding pin 21 through the fourth bonding pin 31 of the driver chip 30, thereby transmitting to a circuit within the array substrate through the data signal line connected to the first bonding pin 11.

Fig. 15 is a schematic top view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 15, the display device may also be a mobile device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and an electronic album. Since the principle of the display device to solve the problem is similar to that of the display panel, the display device can be implemented by the display panel, and repeated descriptions are omitted.
In a third aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a display panel is provided, and fig. 16 is a flowchart of the method for manufacturing a display panel according to the embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 16, the method for manufacturing a display panel includes:

s20, oppositely binding the driving chip on one side of the flexible circuit board, which is far away from the non-display area;

According to the manufacturing method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the driving chip can be bound on the array substrate through the flexible circuit board, the lower step area of the array substrate in the non-display area is not required to be occupied additionally, and the narrow frame is favorably realized. Compared with a flexible circuit board, the lower step area of the array substrate has higher hardness and higher shock resistance, so that the shock resistance reliability of the driving chip can be improved. Meanwhile, the flexible circuit board does not need to be specially widened for binding the driving chip, and the cost is saved.

and forming a plurality of fourth binding pins corresponding to the third binding pins one to one on the drive chip.
In specific implementation, the bonding pins on the array substrate and the driving chip can be manufactured in a copper plating and etching mode, and the bonding pins on the flexible circuit board can be manufactured by printing a circuit on a rubber plate by an additive method and plating a copper circuit pattern on the rubber plate by a chemical copper plating method to form a printed plate with a chemical copper plating layer as a circuit. The addition method has high requirements on chemical copper plating and strict requirements on the binding force of copper plating and a matrix, and the method has simple process and does not need a copper-clad plate, so the problem of poor electroplating dispersion capability is avoided. The alignment mark for alignment can be formed while the binding pins are formed, so that when binding is performed, alignment can be performed between the array substrate and the flexible circuit board and between the flexible circuit board and the driving chip, and the binding of the binding pins is performed after the alignment is successful.
