Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of display, and particularly relates to an electrostatic protection structure, a display panel with an electrostatic protection function and a display device.
Background
In recent years, various display panels have been widely used in information communication equipment and general electric equipment. As a flat panel display device, a liquid crystal display panel has many advantages of thin body, power saving, no radiation, etc., and thus has been widely used in various aspects of life, such as small-sized smart phones, video cameras, digital cameras, medium-sized notebook computers, desktop computers, large-sized home televisions, large-sized projection devices, etc. The liquid crystal display panel generally includes an upper substrate, a lower substrate, and a liquid crystal layer between the two substrates. In general, a lower substrate is integrated with a plurality of data lines and scan lines, which are vertically staggered to form a plurality of cell regions, which are defined as pixel cells. Since the liquid crystal display panel is usually densely covered with a large number of wires, the wires are prone to electrostatic accumulation and damage to the panel. From production to transportation of liquid crystal display panels, static electricity is ubiquitous, and therefore, effectively preventing static electricity accumulation is crucial to improving the performance of liquid crystal display panels.
At present, there are two types of electrostatic protection methods widely adopted in the industry, one is to prevent the panel from being damaged by static electricity in the environment through a process control method, for example, ion spraying is performed between each process to reduce charge accumulation, and related workers wear an anti-static bracelet, wear shoes and clothes which are not easy to generate static electricity, and the like; the other method is that conductive auxiliary materials are attached to a product surface frame using the liquid crystal panel by a customer to prevent and treat electrostatic damage in the using process. In the above two methods, the process control method has certain limitations, and only can control the products in the factory, and cannot be continued to the client; and to the condition that the client increases electrically conductive auxiliary material, because of the restriction of industry development structure, can't increase the auxiliary material on the display device finished product under many circumstances.
Therefore, it becomes crucial to enhance the electrostatic protection from the panel design itself. At present, the common electrostatic protection method in panel design is to design a bidirectional protection transistor on each data line and scan line, and connect all scan lines and data lines together to establish an electrostatic discharge channel. However, this method has a limited electrostatic protection capability, and the electrostatic protection device may cause new defects if it is damaged by static electricity.

Example one
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electrostatic protection structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the electrostatic protection structure 1 includes an electrostatic collecting unit 101, an electrostatic deriving unit 102, and a ground wire 103, wherein the electrostatic collecting unit 101 and the electrostatic deriving unit 102 are disposed opposite to each other and spaced apart from each other by a certain distance, the electrostatic deriving unit 102 is connected to the ground wire 103, and the ground wire 103 is connected to a ground terminal.
Specifically, the static electricity collecting unit 101 includes a discharge tip for collecting charges on the color filter substrate 2 and transmitting the charges to the static electricity deriving unit 102, and the static electricity deriving unit 102 transmits the static electricity to the ground terminal through the ground wire 103.
In general, a display panel is provided with a lot of circuit structures and traces, and static electricity may be generated on the surface of the display panel due to the influence of factors such as environment, and the generated static electricity may damage circuits inside the display panel and other components in the display device, thereby affecting the service life of the display panel. In order to solve the technical problem that static electricity generated on the surface of the display panel may damage the internal circuits of the display panel and other components in the display device, thereby affecting the service life of the display panel, in the embodiment, a plurality of static electricity protection structures 1 are disposed between the color filter substrate 2 and the thin film transistor array substrate 3, for providing static electricity protection to the display panel.
The electrostatic protection structure 1 of the present embodiment performs electrostatic protection according to the tip discharge principle, wherein the electrostatic collecting unit 101 may be a conductive block with a tip structure, and the electrostatic deriving unit 102 may be a conductive strip. At the moment of striking the display panel by static electricity, the static electricity collecting unit 101 concentrates the charges to the discharging tip, and a certain distance exists between the discharging tip and the static electricity leading-out unit 102, so that the charges concentrated on the color filter substrate 2 are released to the static electricity leading-out unit 102 through the discharging tip, and then the charges are transmitted to the grounding end through the grounding wire 103, thereby effectively improving the static electricity protection capability of the display panel and effectively preventing the display panel from being damaged by static electricity.
In the present embodiment, the static electricity collecting unit 101 is disposed on the lower surface of the color filter substrate 2 of the display panel, the static electricity leading-out unit 102 is disposed on the upper surface of the thin film transistor array substrate 3 of the display panel, and the ground wire 103 is wired in the edge non-display region of the thin film transistor array substrate 3.
In addition, the display panel includes a display area a and a non-display area B located around the display area a. In this embodiment, the electrostatic protection structure 1 is disposed in the non-display region B of the display panel, that is, the electrostatic collecting unit 101, the electrostatic deriving unit 102 and the ground wire 103 are all located in the non-display region B, so that the normal display of the display panel is not affected.
Further, the display panel comprises a color filter substrate 2 and a thin film transistor array substrate 3 which are arranged oppositely, a liquid crystal layer is filled between the color filter substrate 2 and the thin film transistor array substrate 3, and the electrostatic protection structure 1 is arranged between the color filter substrate 2 and the thin film transistor array substrate 3 and circumferentially distributed around the liquid crystal layer. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another electrostatic protection structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. In general, the edges of the color filter substrate 2 and the thin film transistor array substrate 3 are bonded by the sealant 4 to prevent the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer from leaking. When mass production of liquid crystal display panels is performed, generally, the color filter substrate 2 and the thin film transistor array substrate 3 are independently manufactured, and then aligned and bonded by the sealant 4, and the electrostatic protection structure 1 is located inside the sealant 4, that is, after aligned and bonded, the electrostatic protection structure 1 is encapsulated inside the sealant 4. In the present embodiment, the discharge tip of the static electricity collecting unit 101 is a convex structure extending from the lower surface of the color filter substrate 2 of the display panel to the static electricity derivation unit 102.

As shown in the figure, in other embodiments, the electrostatic protection structure 1 may also circumferentially surround the frame glue 4.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating an electrostatic discharge protection structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the bottom surface of the electrostatic collecting unit 31 contacting the color filter substrate 1 is circular, the diameter of the circular bottom surface is preferably 80-120 μm, the electrostatic charge concentration effect of the circular electrostatic collecting unit 31 is prominent, the alignment between the electrostatic collecting unit 101 and the electrostatic deriving unit 102 is flexible, the process is flexible, and the electrostatic transmission effect is optimal. Of course, the shape is not limited to a circle, and any shape of tip may be used. The plurality of electrostatic collecting units 101 are enclosed in a rectangular configuration at the lower surface edge of the color filter substrate 2. Preferably, the pitch of the adjacent electrostatic collecting units 101 is preferably 400-600 μm, i.e. the pitch of the adjacent electrostatic collecting units 101 is made more than five times the diameter of the electrostatic collecting unit 101, in order to make the transition zone between the respective electrostatic collecting units 101 longer, thereby ensuring that the respective tips of the electrostatic collecting units 101 work independently, the better the electrostatic concentration effect.
It should be noted that the distribution pitches of the adjacent electrostatic collecting units 101 of the electrostatic protection structure of this embodiment on the display panel may be the same or different, and may be flexibly arranged according to the actual design condition, and the arrangement density of the electrostatic protection structure may be properly increased at the portion with weaker electrostatic protection on the display panel, so as to reduce the electrostatic damage of the whole display panel.
For example, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a distributed perspective view of another electrostatic protection structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the drawing, the lower surfaces of the plurality of static electricity collecting units 101 may have a block-like structure uniformly distributed in the non-display area B in the circumferential direction. Preferably, the bottom surface of the block structure has a length of 400-600 μm and a width of 80-120 μm, and the electrostatic collecting unit 101 is configured as a block structure, which helps to increase the area of the tip, the more the electrostatic charge concentration effect is prominent, the more flexible the alignment between the electrostatic collecting unit and the electrostatic deriving unit, the more flexible the process, and the best electrostatic transmission effect. Of course, the shape is not limited to rectangular block shape, and any shape of tip can be used. And the plurality of electrostatic collecting units 101 enclose a rectangular structure along the length direction, and the distance between adjacent electrostatic collecting units 101 is preferably 400-600 μm, so that the transition region between each electrostatic collecting unit 101 is longer, each tip is independent, the tip protrusion is optimal, and the electrostatic concentration effect is better.

In other embodiments, the plurality of electrostatic collecting units 101 may be configured as an integral annular protrusion structure, and an entire annular electrostatic receiving unit may be configured at a corresponding position on the tft array substrate, or may be configured as a plurality of small electrostatic receiving units separately, and finally connected to the ground terminal.
The shapes and the distributions of the static electricity collecting unit 101 and the static electricity deriving unit 102 of the present invention are not limited, and any shapes and distributions of the static electricity collecting unit 101 and the static electricity deriving unit 102 that can realize the tip discharge are within the protection scope of the present invention.
Further, in the present embodiment, the ground wire 103 connects all the static electricity derivation units 102 in series and is electrically connected to the ground port on the transmission circuit board, so that the static electricity collected by all the static electricity collection units 101 is conducted to the ground through the ground port. Of course, in other embodiments, the grounding wires 103 connected to each of the static electricity discharging units 102 may not be connected to each other, as long as they are electrically connected to the grounding ports, respectively, and the invention is not limited thereto.
In addition, the display panel is connected to the transmission circuit board 7 through a plurality of source flip-chip films 11, a plurality of driving chips for driving the display panel are generally disposed on the transmission circuit board 7, here, a ground port (not shown in the drawings) is disposed on the transmission circuit board 7, the ground wire 103 is connected to the ground port through the source flip-chip films 11 and the transmission circuit board 7, and can be grounded through the ground port to discharge static electricity in the display panel to the ground.

In the present embodiment, the electrostatic collecting unit 101 is disposed on the lower surface of the color filter substrate 2, and includes a raised layer 111 and a conductive layer 112 covering the raised layer 111. After the color filter substrate 2 and the thin film transistor array substrate 3 are bonded, a certain distance exists between the color filter substrate 2 and the thin film transistor array substrate 3, and the electrostatic collecting unit 101 and the electrostatic discharge leading-out unit 102 need to meet a certain distance condition for generating point discharge, so the electrostatic collecting unit 101 includes a raised layer 111, one end of the raised layer 111 is connected to the lower surface of the color filter substrate 2, and the other end forms a discharge point and extends out towards the electrostatic discharge leading-out unit 102. The high padding layer 111 may be made of an insulating material, such as a non-metallic material.
A conductive layer 112 is covered on the outer surface of the step-up layer 111, and the conductive layer 112 is made of a conductive material and is used for collecting charges on the color filter substrate 2 and transmitting the charges to the static electricity derivation unit 102. In the present embodiment, the thickness of the conductive layer 112 is preferably 0.6 μm, and the conductive layer 112 is thin and transparent, and has high transmittance and less influence on the color difference of the display.
Further, the lower surface of the color filter substrate 2 is sequentially provided with a conductive glass layer 21 and a black matrix layer 22, wherein the padding layer 111 and at least one of the black matrix layer 22, the RGB unit, the main spacing unit 5 or the auxiliary spacing unit 6 of the display panel are arranged in the same layer and have the same material; the conductive layer 112 and the conductive glass layer 21 are preferably disposed on the same layer and made of the same material. In the present embodiment, the padding layer 111 is disposed in the same layer as the R color filter sub-units of the RGB units, and specifically, in the process of preparing the color filter substrate 2, the RGB units arranged alternately are prepared on the lower surface of the color filter substrate 2, a plurality of padding layers 111 are prepared on the R color filter sub-units located in the non-display region of the color filter substrate 2 at a time, and then, a conductive glass is disposed on the R color filter sub-units including the plurality of padding layers 111, and the conductive glass layer 21 and the conductive layer 112 are formed at the same time. Since the heightening layer 111 of this embodiment is prepared by superimposing materials layer by layer, in the preparation process, a single material may be selected for superimposing, such as the R color filter subunit material described in this embodiment, or several different materials may be selected for superimposing in sequence, for example, when preparing an RGB unit, the R subunit material, the G subunit material, and the B subunit material are sequentially superimposed at corresponding positions, and finally, the heightening layer 111 is formed.
In other embodiments, the static electricity collecting unit 101 may be formed separately on the lower surface of the color filter substrate 2, for example, after the color filter substrate 2 is formed, the step-up layer 111 and the conductive layer 112 covering the step-up layer 111 are sequentially formed on the lower surface of the color filter substrate 2. In addition, the padding layer 111 may also be made of other non-metal materials, and the conductive layer 112 may also be made of other metal materials, which is not limited herein.
In addition, it should be noted that the raised layer 111 of the present embodiment is only used to make the static electricity collecting unit 101 reach a certain height, and in other embodiments, the static electricity collecting unit 101 may not include the raised layer 111, but may be directly molded into a convex structure through a conductive material.
Further, the static electricity lead-out unit 102 and the ground wire 103 are provided on the upper surface of the thin film transistor array substrate 3. The static electricity derivation unit 102 is made of a conductive material, and is vertically opposed to the static electricity collection unit 101. In the present embodiment, the static electricity leading-out unit 102 and the conductive glass layer 21 are preferably made of the same material and are prepared by the same preparation process.
Further, a plurality of main spacers 5 and a plurality of auxiliary spacers 6 are disposed between the color filter substrate 2 and the thin film transistor array substrate 3, wherein both ends of the main spacers 5 are supported on the color filter substrate 2 and the thin film transistor array substrate 3, respectively; one end of the plurality of subsidiary spacers 6 is supported on the color filter substrate 2 and the other end is spaced apart from the thin film transistor array substrate 3. Specifically, the main spacer 5 and the auxiliary spacer 6 are used to support the display panel, and the main spacer 5 and the auxiliary spacer 6 have a columnar structure having a dielectric constant lower than that of the liquid crystal layer. Normally, the main spacer 5 is supported between the color filter substrate 2 and the thin film transistor array substrate 3 to play a supporting role, and the length of the auxiliary spacer 6 is smaller than the normal interval between the color filter substrate 2 and the thin film transistor array substrate 3 to play no supporting role. When the display panel is squeezed due to external force, the distance between the color filter substrate 2 and the thin film transistor array substrate 3 is reduced, when the distance is reduced to the thickness of the auxiliary spacer 6, the auxiliary spacer 6 starts to play a supporting role, and the squeezing damage of the display panel can be effectively prevented through the combined action of the main spacer 5 and the auxiliary spacer 6.
In the present embodiment, the distance M between the static electricity collecting unit 101 and the static electricity deriving unit 102 satisfies:
S＜M＜O；
wherein S is a height difference between the main spacing unit 5 and the auxiliary spacing unit 6, M is a distance between the static electricity collecting unit 31 and the static electricity deriving unit 32, and O is a distance between the upper and lower substrates of the display panel including the TFT switch.
S < M indicates that: even when the display panel is subjected to the pressing force, the static electricity collecting unit 101 cannot be brought into contact with the static electricity discharge static electricity 102, and M cannot be equal to 0 in any case and should be larger than 0 to meet the demand for generating the point discharge.
M < O shows that some higher places exist in the display panel, a certain static electricity receiving effect originally exists, and the positions of the static electricity receiving effect and the static electricity leading-out unit 102 are in the positions with the minimum distance in the panel due to the fact that the positions of the static electricity receiving effect and the static electricity leading-out unit are in the display area, so that static electricity charges can be gathered at the positions of the convex structures of the static electricity collecting unit 101, the static electricity receiving effect at the positions, close to the upper substrate and the lower substrate, in the display area is reduced, and the display area is prevented from being damaged by static electricity.
In the embodiment, the static electricity collecting unit formed by the higher padding layer and the conductive layer is beneficial to collecting static electricity and improving the static electricity collecting efficiency. In addition, the padding layer and any one of the black matrix layer, the RGB unit, the main spacing unit or the auxiliary spacing unit of the display panel are arranged on the same layer and are made of the same material, the conductive layer and the conductive glass layer are arranged on the same layer and are made of the same material, and the padding layer and the conductive glass layer can be prepared simultaneously when the black matrix layer and the conductive glass layer are prepared respectively, so that an additional preparation process is not needed, and the cost is low.
