Description

Display picture testing method and testing device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a display screen testing method and a display screen testing apparatus.
Background
One of the reliability tests of the display panel is a power-on/power-off test, which is a test for periodically powering on/off the display panel at normal temperature or high/low temperature to check whether the product has random or probabilistic defects, and whether the product has an abnormality under severe conditions or whether the product has an abnormality in an initialization state.
In a reliability experiment, a time sequence control chip (Tcon) may have probabilistic abnormality due to continuous power on/off, which causes abnormal image display of a display panel in a power on state, but the image may be recovered after the power on next time after the power off, and the abnormality is hard to reappear again, which causes the abnormality to be ignored or missed, thereby causing difficulty in analyzing the abnormal problem by an analyst.
In order to avoid neglecting or missing the problem, the existing solution is to have a testing staff to sit in front of the platform all the time to observe the display screen image and record whether there is an abnormal phenomenon when doing the reliability test. However, since the power on/off experiment is often performed ten thousand times, the experimenter always observes in front of the platform to cause great waste of manpower, and the fatigue of the experimenter also causes the possibility of missing abnormal phenomena. Moreover, because a plurality of platforms are needed to carry out the experiment simultaneously in the reliability experiment, if a CCD (charge coupled device) is erected in front of each platform for monitoring, material resources are greatly wasted, and the cost is increased.

Referring to fig. 1, the method for testing a display screen provided in this embodiment includes:
s110, the pattern generator 110 transmits a high-level clock lock signal Lockn1 to the timing control chip 130;
s120, the timing control chip 130 pulls down the high-level clock lock signal Lockn1 into a low-level clock lock signal Lockn 2;
s130, the pattern generator 110 transmits a display signal Sd to the timing control chip 130;
s140, during the transmission of the display signal Sd, if a high-level clock lock signal Lockn1 appears in the timing control chip 130, the pattern generator 110 maintains the power-on state.
Referring to fig. 3, the graphic generator 110 is powered on and turned on, the clock lock signal Lockn generated by the graphic generator 110 is a high level clock lock signal Lockn1, the graphic generator 110 transmits the high level clock lock signal Lockn1 to the timing control chip 130, the timing control chip 130 pulls down the high level clock lock signal Lockn1 to a low level clock lock signal Lockn2 and locks it to a low level clock lock signal Lockn2, that is, during the transmission of the display signal Sd, the timing control chip 130 locks the clock lock signal Lockn to the low level clock lock signal Lockn2 and informs the graphic generator 110 to transmit the display signal Sd, the timing control chip 130 transmits the display signal Sd to the display panel 200 through the control board 120 for displaying, at this time, the display screen displayed by the display panel 200 is a normal display screen, the graphic generator 110 transmits the display signal Sd for a period of time (the time can be set according to actual test requirements), the pattern generator 110 stops transmitting the display signal Sd to the timing control chip 130, the timing control chip 130 is unlocked, the low level clock lock signal Lockn2 is recovered to the high level clock lock signal Lockn1, the pattern generator 110 is powered off, a power on/off experiment is completed, and in such a reciprocating manner, a periodic power on/off alternation experiment can be performed to test the display reliability of the display panel 200.
In the process of transmitting the display signal Sd, if the high-level clock lock signal Lockn1 'occurs again, it indicates that the timing control chip 130 is unlocked, that is, the timing control chip 130 loses the lock on the low-level clock lock signal Lockn2 and recovers to the high-level clock lock signal Lockn1, and an abnormal state occurs, at this time, the display panel 200 keeps a power-on state (i.e., keeps the power-on state) by the pattern generator 110, the power-on and power-off experiment is terminated, so that the abnormal state occurs is retained, then the timing control chip 130 pulls down and locks the high-level clock lock signal Lockn 1' that occurs again to the low-level clock lock signal Lockn2, and the pattern generator 110 continues to transmit the display signal Sd to the timing control chip 130.
As an improvement, in this embodiment, before transmitting the display signal Sd to the timing control chip 130, the pattern generator 110 is powered on and transmits a clock data recovery training signal CDR training to the timing control chip 130 to initiate a handshake operation, the timing control chip 130 recovers a transmitted clock signal clock (not shown in the figure) according to the clock data recovery training signal CDR training, then the timing control chip 130 pulls down the high-level clock lock signal Lockn1 to a low-level clock lock signal Lockn2 to complete the handshake operation, and the pattern generator 110 transmits the display signal Sd to the timing control chip 130. The clock data recovery training signal CDR training corresponds to the high level clock lock signal Lockn 1. During the transmission of the display signal Sd, if the high level clock lock signal Lockn1 ' occurs again in the timing control chip 130, that is, the high level clock lock signal Lockn1 ' occurs for the second time (the first occurrence is a handshake operation between the timing control chip 130 and the graphic generator 110), indicating that the timing control chip 130 is out of lock (the surface handshake operation is turned off), the timing control chip 130 loses the lock of the low level clock lock signal Lockn2 and returns to the high level clock lock signal Lockn1 ', an abnormal state occurs (the normal state, that is, the timing control chip 130 continuously locks the low level clock lock signal Lockn2 during the transmission of the display signal Sd), at this time, due to the occurrence of the high level clock lock signal Lockn1 ', the graphic generator 110 transmits a clock data recovery training signal CDR training to the timing control chip 130 to reinitiate the handshake operation, the timing control chip 130 pulls down the high level clock lock signal Lockn1 ' occurring again to the low level clock lock signal Lockn2 to complete the handshake operation, at this time, the pattern generator 110 keeps the power-on state (i.e., keeps the power-on state), the display panel 200 keeps the power-on state accordingly, and the power-on/off experiment is terminated, so as to keep the abnormal state, and the timing control chip 130 transmits the clock data recovery training signal CDR training transmitted for the second time to the display panel 200 through the control board 120, so that the display panel 200, which should display the display signal Sd transmitted by the pattern generator 110, displays the clock data recovery training signal, and the abnormal state of the display screen occurs.
As a preferable mode, to eliminate the influence of noise, in the transmission process of the display signal Sd, the pattern generator 110 triggers the abnormal state handling mechanism after the occurrence time of the high-level clock lock signal Lockn 1' is 2ms or more, that is, the pattern generator 110 remains in the power-on state, and the setting criterion of the required time for triggering the abnormal state handling mechanism is: the duration of the handshake operation between the pattern generator 110 and the timing control chip 130 is longer than that of the handshake operation between the pattern generator 110 and the timing control chip 130, that is, since the high-level clock lock signal Lockn1 'occurs for the second time, the handshake operation between the pattern generator 110 and the timing control chip 130 needs to be performed again, and the duration of the handshake operation is generally longer than 2ms, the abnormal state handling mechanism is triggered after the high-level clock lock signal Lockn 1' occurs for 2 ms. The occurrence duration of the high-level clock lock signal Lockn 1' occurring during the transmission of the display signal Sd corresponds to the transmission duration of the clock data recovery training signal CDR training.
As a modification, the graphic generator 110 may be provided with a display module 111 for displaying a prompt message to prompt the occurrence of an abnormality. In this embodiment, the display module 111 may be an LED nixie tube or a display screen, and the prompt message may be a number (e.g. 8888) or a letter.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the power-on start time of the pattern generator 110 is earlier than the start time of the pattern generator 110 transmitting the clock data recovery training signal CDR training to the timing control chip 130; in the normal transmission process of the display signal Sd, the sum of the single handshake operation time length Tt and the single transmission time length Td of the display signal Sd by the graphic generator is less than the single power-on time length Tc. When the high-level clock lock signal Lockn 1' appears during the normal transmission of the display signal Sd, the power-on state is maintained. The single power-on time Tc is the time from one power-on to power-off, the power-on and the power-off are periodically alternated, the periodic power-on and power-off alternation experiment is realized, and the power-on voltage is 12V.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
