Background
In the manufacturing process of the display panel, it is common at present to divide the large panel into desired display panels by laser along a cutting path of the display panel after performing a related manufacturing process in the form of the large panel. Because the cut surface film layer structure in the display panel is an SiN x inorganic layer, the SiN x inorganic film layer is easy to crack in the laser cutting process, cracks appear, and the cracks can extend to the inside of the display panel so as to cause adverse phenomena of continuous growth of black spots (Growing Black Spots, GDS) on the display panel, and the like, thereby seriously affecting the image quality and the yield of the display panel.
In the prior art, film cracks were monitored by disposing PCD structures (PANEL CRACK Deterctor, panel detection structures) within the display panel. For example, the PCD structure may comprise a first detection line 100 for detecting image quality and a second detection line 110 for detecting cracks. Currently, in the conventional manufacturing process of the TSP (Touch SCREEN PANEL, touch screen) packaging structure, the etching process of the Touch insulating layer 120 is easy to form a gully 130 at the boundary of the Touch insulating layer 120, so that the materials of the first detection line 100 and the second detection line 110 formed later remain in the gully 130, as shown in fig. 1-2, and further an electrical connection is formed between the first detection line 100 and the second detection line 110 to cause a short circuit, so that the PCD structure is damaged, and the monitoring of the cracks of the display panel cannot be realized.

Detailed Description
In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the azimuth or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", etc. are based on the azimuth or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are merely for convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and are not indicative or implying that the apparatus or element in question must have a specific azimuth, be constructed and operated in a specific azimuth, and thus should not be construed as limiting the present application. Unless specifically stated or limited otherwise, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "coupled" are to be construed broadly, and may be, for example, fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be mechanically or electrically connected; can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can be communication between two elements. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art according to the specific circumstances.
It is further noted that in the description of the present application, relational terms such as first and second, and the like are used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
The terms "on … …", "formed on … …" and "disposed on … …" as used herein may mean that one layer is formed directly on or disposed on another layer, or that one layer is formed indirectly on or disposed on another layer, i.e., that other layers are present between the two layers.
It should be noted that although the terms "first," "second," etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, elements, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, elements, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are used to distinguish one component, member, element, region, layer and/or section from another. Thus, for example, a first component, a first member, a first element, a first region, a first layer, and/or a first portion discussed below could be termed a second component, a second member, a second element, a second region, a second layer, and/or a second portion without departing from the teachings of the present application.
In the present application, unless otherwise indicated, the term "co-layer arrangement" is used to mean that two layers, components, members, elements or portions may be formed by the same manufacturing process (e.g., patterning process, etc.), and that the two layers, components, members, elements or portions are generally formed of the same material. For example, the two or more functional layers are arranged in the same layer, meaning that the functional layers arranged in the same layer may be formed using the same material layer and the same manufacturing process, so that the manufacturing process of the display substrate may be simplified.
In a specific example, the first detection line of the PCD structure for detecting the image quality may be electrically connected to the data line in the display region of the display panel, and when detecting whether or not the display panel has a crack, a detection signal may be applied to the data line through the first detection line, and whether or not the display panel displays a vertical bright line may be detected. It should be noted that, if the display panel has a crack, the first detection line will also break, and then the detection signal of the detection line cannot be transmitted to the data line connected with the first detection line, and at this time, the position of the data line will display a vertical bright line. Therefore, whether the display panel has cracks can be judged by detecting whether the display panel can display vertical bright lines.
In another specific example, the detection of the crack may be achieved by a resistance on the second detection line. For example, when the display panel is cracked, after the second detection line is cracked, the resistance on the second detection line is increased, and once the resistance on the second detection line is detected to be higher than a preset resistance value, the current second detection line is determined to be cracked, so that the display panel is determined to be cracked.
In addition, the black dot (Growing dark spot, GDS) failure becomes the first killer of the product back-end process. The root cause of GDS is the occurrence of film cracks (Crack) that lead to the rupture of the encapsulating film. In the panel electrical (Cell ET) detection stage, if only a slight film crack exists, the TFE film may not have obvious cracks, that is, obvious defects do not exist in the lighting stage, but cracks are worsened in long-term use or high-temperature reliability test, so that the material of an EL layer (electroluminescent layer) is disabled at a later stage, and the risk of scrapping the display panel is caused. If the products with film cracks cannot be screened out in time, the stage consumable materials of the display panel are wasted, and the customer sample delivery is influenced, and the company and the product reputation are influenced.
In the prior art, the manufacturing process of the TSP (Touch screen) package structure is generally that a planarization layer 150 is formed on a substrate 140, then an opening for forming a lap joint 160 is formed on the planarization layer 150, a Touch insulation layer 120 is formed on the planarization layer 150, then the lap joint 160 and a first detection line 100 or a second detection line 110 connected with the lap joint 160 are formed, and finally a Touch packaging layer 170 is formed, as shown in fig. 1-2, a projection of a lower boundary of the Touch insulation layer 120 on the substrate 140 is located on a projection of a boundary of the lap joint 160 on the substrate 140, wherein, as shown in fig. 1, a dotted line area is a projection of the Touch insulation layer 120 on the substrate, and a diagonal line area is a projection of the Touch packaging layer 170 on the substrate. The planarization layer 150 under the touch insulating layer 120 is easily over-etched in the etching process of the touch insulating layer 120 to form a ravines 130 along edges of the touch insulating layer 120, so that materials of the first and second sensing lines 100 and 110 formed later remain in the ravines 130 to cause an electrical connection between the first and second sensing lines 100 and 110 to cause a short circuit.
In view of the existing technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 200, as shown in fig. 3-6, where the display panel 200 includes a substrate 210, a display area and a non-display area are formed on the substrate 210, the display area is a dotted line area in fig. 3, the display area is also called an effective display area (ACTIVE AREA, AA), and a data line 220 is disposed in the display area; the non-display area may be located at the periphery of the display area, which may be used to route various leads, bond driver chips and/or sense chips, and to effect sealing of the display panel 200.
In this embodiment, the non-display area is provided with a detection line 230, and in a specific example, the detection line 230 includes a first detection line 231 and a second detection line 232, where the first detection line 231 and the second detection line 232 are located in the non-display area and are disposed around the display area, and the first detection line 231 is electrically connected with a plurality of data lines 220 in the display area of the display panel 200, when the display panel 200 breaks, the first detection line 231 correspondingly breaks, and at this time, a detection signal cannot be applied to the data lines 220 through the first detection line 231, and at this time, a vertical bright line is displayed at the position of the data lines 220 to prompt that the display panel 200 has a crack; in addition, the crack of the display panel 200 may be displayed by detecting the resistance of the second detection line 232.
In one particular example, the first detection line 231 and the second detection line 232 include serpentine structures (e.g., S-shaped, W-shaped, or Z-shaped traces, etc.). In another specific example, the projection of the first detection line 231 on the substrate 210 may be located outside the projection of the second detection line 232 on the substrate 210, for example, the first detection line 231 may be located at a side of the second detection line 232 away from the display region.
In addition, the edge of the substrate 210 in this embodiment is formed with a lap portion 240 connected to the inspection line 230; in a specific example, as shown in fig. 3, the non-display area on one side of the display panel 200 further includes a bonding area, which may be used for bonding of a flexible circuit board pad, a detection chip, or a driving chip, for example. The lap joint part 240 is formed outside one side of the bonding area close to the display area, and the detection line 230 is electrically connected with the detection chip 250 located in the bonding area through the lap joint part 240 so as to realize transmission of detection signals.
In this embodiment, a touch structure layer including a touch insulating layer 260 and a touch packaging layer 270 is further formed on the substrate 210; the touch insulating layer 260 is used for insulating the plurality of touch electrodes from each other, and the touch packaging layer 270 is used for packaging and protecting the touch insulating layer 260 and the touch electrode layer. The projection of the boundary of the touch insulating layer 260 on the substrate 210 is located between the projection of the boundary of the lap portion 240 on the substrate 210 and the projection of the boundary of the touch packaging layer 270 on the substrate 210. In a specific example, as shown in fig. 3-5, the projection of the lower boundary of the touch insulating layer 260 on the substrate 210 is located between the projection of the lower boundary of the lap joint 240 on the substrate 210 and the projection of the lower boundary of the touch packaging layer 270 on the substrate 210, wherein, as shown by the dotted line area in fig. 4, the projection of the touch insulating layer 260 on the substrate 210 is shown by the diagonal line area in fig. 4, that is, the projection of the touch packaging layer 270 on the substrate 210 covers the projection of the lap joint 240 on the substrate 210, so that, during the manufacturing process of the display panel, when the etching process is performed on the touch insulating layer, no gaps are formed between the openings of the corresponding lap joints in the planarization layer, and no materials of the first detection line and the second detection line remain in the gaps in the subsequent process of forming the first detection line and the second detection line.
It should be noted that the substrate 210 in fig. 2, 5 and 6 of the present application actually refers to a display substrate that completes the front-end process of the back-plane (BP), that is, includes a substrate and other film layers that need to be fabricated before the planarization layer is fabricated, for example, may include a plurality of organic layers, inorganic layers, and the like, and may also include driving circuit structures such as a Thin Film Transistor (TFT), which are not shown in the drawings for the sake of convenience of viewing.
In one specific example, the Touch insulating layer 260 (Touch INTERLAYER DIELECTRIC, TLD) may include an inorganic material such as silicon oxide (SiO x), silicon nitride (SiN x), and/or silicon oxynitride (SiON), and may be formed as a multi-layer or a single layer.
