Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the present application, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the same or similar parts or parts having the same or similar functions throughout. In addition, if a detailed description of the known art is not necessary for illustrating the features of the present application, it is omitted. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary only for the purpose of explaining the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.
It will be understood by those within the art that, unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the prior art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "connected" or "coupled" to another element, it can be directly connected or coupled to the other element or intervening elements may also be present.

As used herein, the term "and/or" includes all or any element and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
The inventors of the present application have conducted research to find that a neutral layer exists in the flexible display panel according to the film structure during the curling process, and the neutral layer has a stress of 0 and a strain of 0 during the curling process. The compressive stress on one side of the neutral layer generates compressive strain, the tensile stress on one side generates tensile strain, and the farther away from the neutral layer, the larger the stress. In the process of rolling, the edge of the flexible display panel is fixed and rolled from one side to the other side or rolled from two sides to the middle. Because the edges are fixed, the deformation caused by the curl is unidirectional to the film, and the curl may cause interlaminar dislocation between different films. For LTPS (Low Temperature polysilicon technology) transistors with the channel length along the curl direction, the strain caused by the curl affects the carrier mobility of the channel, i.e., the channel carrier mobility is affected by stress.
Further research by the inventors of the present application has found that the channel mobility is greatly affected by strain, while the threshold voltage Vth is less affected by deformation. Referring to fig. 1, the channel mobility is significantly affected by strain, μ/μ 0: is the ratio of the carrier mobility of the strained channel to the carrier mobility of the unstrained channel. And (3) Strain: and the strain refers to the local relative deformation of an object under the action of factors such as external force and a non-uniform temperature field. 0.6% and 0.6% represent the magnitude of the strain, the positive being the proportion of elongation and the negative being the proportion of compression, see FIG. 2, S0Is the voltage swing, the TFT parameter that can be obtained from the TFT transfer characteristic curve, S/S0Is the ratio of the amplitude of the threshold swing before and after deformation, the threshold voltage Vth is less influenced by the deformation, Vth/VthoThe ratio of the threshold voltage before and after the strain is not changed much.
The inventor of the present application further studies and finds that, referring to fig. 3, the interlayer dislocation caused by the curl may cause the edge of the channel region not to be completely covered and controlled by the gate, and the channel may not be completely conducted. Therefore, the on characteristics of a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) in a rolled state are much inferior to those of a TFT in a developed region. The Strain is caused by the curling, in the curling process, except that the neutral layer (mechanical layer without thickness) does not generate Strain, each layer generates interlayer dislocation Offset due to the curling, the dislocation range is the dislocation region, the dislocation is the root cause of the Strain, the gate is the gate, the GI is the gate insulating layer, the S is the source, the D is the drain, the TFT in the curling state can bear the Strain (the mechanical structure design is usually compressive Strain, and the minority condition can be tensile Strain), when the TFT is in the Strain state, the carrier mobility of the TFT can correspondingly change, the mobility of the bearing the compressive Strain (negative Strain) is improved, and the conduction performance of the TFT is improved (the mobility is in positive correlation with the conduction performance of the TFT). On the contrary, the mobility of the TFT communication bearing the tensile strain is reduced, and the conduction performance is deteriorated. The TFT with curl and non-curl do not have the same electrical characteristics, so that current variations occur.
The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how to solve the above technical problems with specific embodiments.
An embodiment of the present application provides a flexible display panel, as shown in fig. 4, the flexible display panel includes: a display area 1, a plurality of GOA circuits 2 located at the periphery of the display area 1, and a plurality of switching devices 3 located at least on one side of the display area 1.
The control terminal of each switching device 3 is electrically connected to a shift register signal input terminal of one GOA circuit 2.
A first terminal of each switching device 3 is electrically connected to a first voltage terminal.
The second terminal of each switching device 3 outputs a signal to be detected.
The display signal output end of each GOA circuit 2 is electrically connected to the shift register signal input end of the next GOA circuit 2, and the shift register signal input end of the first GOA circuit 2 is configured to receive the first electrical signal.
The plurality of switching devices 3 of the embodiment of the application are arranged on at least one side of the display area 1 of the display panel, and the plurality of GOA circuits 2 are GOA circuits 2 on the existing display panel, so that the whole curling detection structure is completely integrated on the display panel, and the process and the structure are relatively simple.
A plurality of switching device 3 of this application embodiment utilize current GOA circuit 2's the aversion to register signal to control a plurality of switching device 3 and open in proper order and switch on, then wait to detect that the signal judges last switching device 3 that is in the crimp state according to detecting switching device 3 output, can realize the real-time supervision to the crimp length of flexible display panel, a plurality of switching device 3 switch on under the control of GOA circuit 2's the aversion register signal, wait to detect that the signal judges crimp length through switching device 3 output, ambient temperature can not disturb and wait to detect the signal, it is more accurate to detect crimp length.
According to the embodiment of the application, the influence of stress and interlayer dislocation generated in the curling process on the electrical characteristics of the switch devices 3 is utilized, and meanwhile, based on the shift register function of the GOA circuit 2 of the existing display panel, a plurality of switch devices 3 and corresponding connecting signal lines are only required to be arranged on the display panel, so that the space and the signal source of the display panel are saved. Moreover, with the development trend of light and thin integration of the flexible display panel, the curling detection is integrated on the panel by using the existing process, so that the device cost is reduced, and the light and thin requirements can be met.
Alternatively, a plurality of switching devices 3 may be disposed on one side of the display area 1, and the curling length of one side is detected in real time through the switching devices 3 on one side, and the curling length of the other side is the same, that is, the curling length of the whole flexible display panel can be obtained. Meanwhile, a plurality of switching devices 3 may be disposed on both sides of the display region 1, so that the curling length of both sides may be detected in real time, and the curling length of the entire display panel may be detected more accurately.
Alternatively, a plurality of switching devices 3 are uniformly and parallel arranged at the side of the display area 1.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 5, timing signals of directions in which the CLK signal line and the CLB signal line are output. The first clock signal input terminal and the second clock signal input terminal of each GOA circuit 2 are respectively configured to receive the second electrical signal and the third electrical signal, where the second electrical signal and the third electrical signal are inverted timing signals. As shown in fig. 4, the first clock signal input terminal CLK and the second clock signal input terminal CLB of each GOA circuit 2 are electrically connected to the same CLK signal line and the same CLB signal line, respectively. The CLK signal line and the CLB signal line are used to transmit the second electrical signal and the third electrical signal.
Optionally, the second terminal of each switching device 3 is electrically connected to the same signal output terminal, and is used for outputting the signal to be detected. Because the switching devices 3 are sequentially conducted to send the signals to be detected, a plurality of switching devices 3 can be electrically connected with one signal output end, wiring areas are saved, and arrangement of signal lines is reduced.
Alternatively, the signal to be detected is a current signal, the second terminal of each switching device 3 may be electrically connected to a current detector, and the second terminal of each switching device 3 is connected to a constant voltage. And the current detector sends the acquired current signal to be detected to the curl detection device for carrying out curl detection on the flexible display panel. Meanwhile, the curl detection device may directly acquire the current signal of the switching device 3.
Alternatively, the number of the GOA circuits 2 is twice that of the switching devices 3; the control end of each switching device 3 is electrically connected with the shift register signal input end of one GOA circuit 2 and the display signal output end of the other GOA circuit 2; one GOA circuit 2 is a previous GOA circuit 2 of another GOA circuit 2. Each switching device 3 may correspond to two GOA circuits 2, and when a shift register signal is output from one GOA circuit 2 to the next GOA circuit 2, the corresponding switching device 3 is turned on, and a signal to be detected is transmitted. In practical applications, one switching device 3 may correspond to one or more GOA circuits 2, and may be set according to the requirement of the detection accuracy of the actual curl length.
Optionally, each switching device 3 is a thin film transistor, which may be an N-type TFT or a P-type TFT; the control end of the thin film transistor is a grid electrode of the thin film transistor; if the first end of the thin film transistor is the source electrode of the thin film transistor, the second end of the thin film transistor is the drain electrode of the thin film transistor. If the first end of the thin film transistor is the drain electrode of the thin film transistor, the second end of the thin film transistor is the source electrode of the thin film transistor. When each switching device 3 is an N-type TFT, the voltage of the drain is higher than that of the source; when each switching device 3 is a P-type TFT, the voltage of the source is higher than that of the drain.
In the curling process of the flexible display panel, the display area 1, namely the AA area and the pixel TFT are also affected by strain, so that the circuit performance is changed. However, on the one hand, the pixels in the area are curled and do not participate in display, so that even the abnormal condition of the TFT does not affect the display content. In addition, the TFTs of different pixel rows in the pixel circuit of the AA area are not connected in series, so that the TFT performance change of the curled area does not influence the TFT operation of the non-curled area. In addition, the edge curling detection TFT can effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the detection of the flexible display panel by increasing the size of the TFT and setting the TFT to the layer height with larger strain through the cushion layer.
As an example, referring to fig. 4, taking one side of the display area, i.e. the AA area as an example, n GOA circuits 2 are disposed outside the display area 1, where n is an integer not less than 1. The display signal output end g (n) of the GOA circuit 2 is electrically connected to the display area 1 through a signal line, and is used for displaying in the display area 1. The shift register signal Input end, i.e. the IN end, of the GOA circuit 2 is configured to receive a shift register signal sent by the previous GOA circuit 2, and the IN end of the first GOA circuit 2 directly inputs the shift register signal Input. Referring to fig. 6, a timing chart of several GOA circuits 2 arranged in front inputting shift register signals in sequence for scanning is shown. The first terminal of each switching device 3 is connected to the first voltage terminal via the same signal line, and receives the input voltage VhighThe second terminal of each switching device 3 is electrically connected to a current detector for obtaining the current I at the second terminal of each switching device 3roll. Each switching device 3 is a P-type TFT, and the voltage of the source is higher than that of the drain.
It can be understood by those skilled in the art that when each of the transistors is a P-type TFT or the first terminal and the second terminal of each of the transistors are different poles of the TFT, the electrical connection manner of each element in the pixel driving circuit provided in the embodiments of the present application can be adaptively adjusted, and the adaptively adjusted electrical connection manner still belongs to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.
With reference to fig. 6 and 7, in the embodiment of the present application, the scanning function of the shift register signal of the GOA circuit 2 is used to drive the switching devices 3 to sequentially turn on, the curled TFT is scanned to have a degraded conduction effect, and the current is low, as shown in a timing diagram of the curled state of the TFT in the figure, there may be several lines of transition TFTs in the unfolded state, which is not shown in the figure, and the TFT is scanned to be normally conducted, i.e., the unfolded state of the TFT in the figure, so that the length ranges of the curled state and the unfolded state can be located according to the signal to be detected of the TFT, i.e., the current signal.
Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for detecting a curl of a flexible display panel, which is applied to the flexible display panel of the first aspect, and as shown in fig. 8, the method for detecting a curl of a flexible display panel includes the following steps:
and S801, acquiring signals to be detected sequentially output by the second ends of the plurality of switching devices 3.
Specifically, the switching devices 3 are sequentially turned on by using the shift register signal of the GOA circuit 2, so that the signals to be detected of the switching devices 3 can be sequentially obtained.
S802, when the current and the next two adjacent signals to be detected jump, the switching device 3 corresponding to the jump is determined.
Specifically, when the detection signal jumps, it is indicated that the position of the corresponding switching device 3 is the boundary between the curling state and the unfolding state, and the position of the boundary between the curling state and the unfolding state can be determined by determining the switching device 3 corresponding to the jump, so as to determine the curling length conveniently.
Optionally, if the signal to be detected of the previous switching device 3 is a first preset electrical signal that the previous switching device 3 is in a curled state, and the signal to be detected of the next switching device 3 is a second preset electrical signal that the next switching device 3 is in a spread state, it is determined that the two adjacent signals to be detected before and after jump; determining a corresponding switch device 3 when the signal to be detected jumps according to the detected time when the signal to be detected jumps and preset information, wherein the preset information comprises: the interval duration of the signal to be detected of each switching device 3 or the detected time corresponds to each switching device 3.
And S803, determining the curling length of the flexible display panel according to the corresponding switch device 3.
Optionally, if the signal to be detected of the previous switching device 3 is a first preset electrical signal of a preset first electrical signal that the previous switching device 3 is in a curled state, and the signal to be detected of the next switching device 3 is a second preset electrical signal that the next switching device 3 is in an unfolded state, the previous switching device 3 is used as the last switching device 3 in the curled state; the first preset electric signal is a signal to be detected in a curling state, and the second preset electric signal is a signal to be detected in a spreading state;
determining the number of the switching devices 3 in the range of the crimp length according to the last switching device 3 in the crimp state;
the curling length of the flexible display panel is determined according to the number of the switching devices 3 and the preset distance between two adjacent switching devices 3.
In practical applications, the curling length of the flexible display panel is determined, and the unfolding length of the flexible display panel can be determined according to the total length of the flexible display panel.
Optionally, referring to fig. 9, the method for detecting the curling of the flexible display panel includes the following steps:
and S901, acquiring signals to be detected which are sequentially output by the second ends of the plurality of switching devices 3.
Specifically, the specific method in this step is the same as the specific method in step S801, and is not described herein again.
And S902, if the signal to be detected of the previous switch device 3 is a first preset electrical signal when the previous switch device 3 is in a curled state, and the signal to be detected of the next switch device 3 is a second preset electrical signal when the next switch device 3 is in an unfolded state, determining that the front and the back adjacent signals to be detected jump.
In practical application, the first preset electrical signal is a signal to be detected in a curled state, and the second preset electrical signal is a signal to be detected in an unfolded state. That is, if the signal to be detected is the first preset electrical signal in the curled state, it indicates that the switching device 3 is in the curled state; if the signal to be detected is the second preset electrical signal in the unfolded state, it indicates that the switch device 3 is in the unfolded state.
Specifically, the first preset electrical signal may be an electrical signal value or an electrical signal range, and the first preset electrical signal may be an electrical signal value or an electrical signal range. When the detected signal of the front and rear switching devices 3 fluctuates, it indicates that the state of the switching device 3 changes in this part.
And S903, determining the corresponding switch device 3 when the signal to be detected jumps according to the detected time and preset information when the signal to be detected jumps. The preset information includes: the interval duration or the detected time of the signal to be detected of each switching device 3 corresponds to each switching device 3.
