To facilitate an understanding of the present application, the present application will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. This application 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.
It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element and be integral therewith, or intervening elements may also be present. The terms "disposed on," "one end," "the other end," and the like are used herein for illustrative purposes only.
Unless defined otherwise, all 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. The terminology used herein in the description of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
In order to solve the problem that the Q-point metal line in the conventional GOA circuit is easy to break, which causes the complete failure of the stage transmission of the GOA circuit, as shown in fig. 1, a GOA (Gate Driver On Array) circuit is provided, which includes a repair line 11;
the repair line 11 is arranged at an interval from a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) circuit region 13 of the GOA circuit; when the cascaded GOA units 133 in each row in the GOA circuit are in a normal state, the repair line 11 is staggered and separated from the Q-point metal line of the cascaded GOA units 133 in each row without electrical contact;
the repair line 11 is used for electrically connecting the Q-point metal line (Q (N) in fig. 2) of the GOA unit in the nth row and the Q-point metal line (Q (N) in fig. 2) of the GOA unit in the N-1 th row (Q (N-1) in fig. 2) when the Q-point metal line (Q (N) in fig. 2) of the GOA unit in the nth row is broken (as shown in fig. 2).
It should be noted that, in a display panel, for example, an AMO L ED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode or Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) display panel, a top gate structure is generally adopted in a manufacturing process of a TFT circuit area, a failure of a metal line in a GOA circuit at a certain position is a level-pass failure of the GOA circuit, and an important node in the GOA circuit at a Q point is a node at which the metal line is easy to break.
The GOA circuit is wired on a film layer structure and comprises a metal wiring area and a TFT circuit area, wherein the metal wiring area is mainly used for arranging metal wiring, the TFT circuit area is mainly used for arranging thin film transistors, Q point metal wires are positioned in the TFT circuit area, repair wires are arranged at intervals in the TFT circuit area, furthermore, the repair wires are arranged in parallel to the TFT circuit area, the wiring of the repair wires passes through GOA units cascaded in each row in the TFT circuit area and is staggered and separated from the Q point metal wires of the GOA units cascaded in each row, and when the GOA circuit is normal (namely the GOA units cascaded in each row are not broken by the Q point metal wires), the repair wires are in non-electric connection with circuits in the TFT circuit area.
As shown in fig. 2, when it is detected that the Q-point metal line of the GOA unit in the nth row of the GOA circuit is broken (as shown in fig. 2 at position 1), the GOA unit in the nth row cannot obtain a normal driving voltage from the metal routing area, in order to ensure the level pass of the GOA units in the nth and subsequent rows to be valid, the Q-point metal line of the GOA unit in the nth row and the Q-point metal line of the GOA unit in the N-1 row are electrically connected through a repair line, the GOA unit in the nth row is driven by using the Q-point voltage of the GOA unit in the N-1 row, specifically, the repair line is cut off from a position between the GOA unit in the N-2 th row and the GOA unit in the N-1 row (as shown in fig. 2 at position 2), and cut off from a position between the GOA unit in the nth row and the GOA unit in the N +1 row (as shown in fig. 2 at position 3), and then the repair line between the GOA unit in the nth row and the GOA unit in the N-2 th row and the N-1 row is welded to the metal line (position 4 in fig. 2), and the other end is welded to the Q-point metal line of the GOA unit in the nth row (position 5 in fig. 2), wherein it should be noted that the welding point of the repair line on the Q-point metal line of the GOA unit in the nth row is to enable the Q-point voltage of the GOA unit in the N-1 th row to be transmitted to the thin film transistor of the GOA unit in the nth row.
In one example, the repair line and the Q-point metal line of the GOA unit in the nth row and the Q-point metal line of the GOA unit in the N-1 th row are respectively welded by a laser welding process.
The repair line is a conductive wire made of a metallic material, and in one example, the repair line is a metallic wire made of a molybdenum-copper material. In another example, the repair wire is a metal wire made of a molybdenum aluminum material.
The repair method of the present application can be applied to various GOA circuits, and now, taking the GOA circuit described in fig. 3 (as shown in fig. 3, the GOA circuit includes 6 thin film transistors and one capacitor) as an example for explanation, as shown in fig. 4, when a line break occurs at position 1 of the GOA cell in the nth row, position 2 and position 3 of the repair line are cut, and the Q-point metal line of the GOA cell in the nth row and the Q-point metal line of the GOA cell in the N-1 th row are respectively welded at position 4 and position 5.
In each embodiment of the GOA circuit, the GOA circuit comprises a repairing line, wherein the repairing line and a TFT circuit area of the GOA circuit are arranged at intervals; when the GOA units of each row of cascade GOA units in the GOA circuit are in a normal state, the repair lines are staggered and separated from the metal lines of the Q points of the GOA units of each row of cascade GOA units without electrical contact; the repairing line is used for electrically connecting the Q point metal lines of the GOA units in the Nth row with the Q point metal lines of the GOA units in the N-1 th row when the Q point metal lines of the GOA units in the Nth row are broken, the repairing line is additionally arranged in the TFT circuit area in the GOA circuit, if the Q point metal lines of the GOA units in the Nth row are broken, the Q point metal lines of the GOA units in the Nth row and the Q point metal lines of the GOA units in the N-1 th row are electrically connected through the repairing line, the voltage of the Q points of the GOA units in the N-1 th row is used for driving the GOA units in the Nth row, and therefore the grade transmission of the GOA circuit is guaranteed to be effective, in addition, no additional process is needed in the repairing mode, and the improvement of the manufacturing cost is avoided.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, a GOA film layer structure is provided, comprising a repair line layer 51;

the repair line layer 51 is used for electrically connecting the Q-point metal line layer of the N-th row of GOA units and the Q-point metal line layer of the N-1 th row of GOA units when the Q-point metal line layer of the N-th row of GOA units is broken.
It should be noted that the GOA circuit of the present application is patterned and fabricated into a GOA film layer structure, where the GOA film layer structure includes a repair line layer buried in a buffer layer of the GOA film layer structure.
