Description

静电防护结构、薄膜晶体管基板及显示面板
技术领域
本发明涉及一种静电防护结构、薄膜晶体管基板及显示面板。
背景技术
静电是普遍存于自然界中的现象,当两个介电常数(Dielectric constant)不同的材料介质相互磨擦时,静电便会伴随产生。当带有静电的物体释放静电后回归到中性状态,这种静电释放的现象称之为静电放电(Electrostatic Discharge,ESD)。
在显示面板中,静电防护结构的基本功能是将面板内的静电引导至像素矩阵外,以防止静电瞬间放电电流击伤像素矩阵区的薄膜晶体管元件,以免造成面板显示不良的现象。随着市场对面板边框宽度要求越来越窄,因而,兼顾静电防护作用与满足窄边框设计的显示面板的静电防护结构更能符合市场需求。
发明内容
鉴于此,有必要提供一种静电防护结构,用以释放显示面板上的静电,所述静电防护结构在具备静电放电功能的同时,有利于减少所述静电防护结构在显示面板上占用的空间。
本发明一方面提供一种静电防护结构,用于对功能电路进行静电释放,所述功能电路包括多条信号线,所述静电防护结构包括:
放电电极以及与所述放电电极电性连接的多个静电防护单元;
每一个静电防护单元包括第一薄膜晶体管与第二薄膜晶体管,所述第一薄膜晶体管包括第一栅极、第一源极与第一漏极,所述第二薄膜晶体管包括第二栅极、第二源极与第二漏极,所述第一栅极与所述第一漏极电性连接且两者电性连接至一所述信号线,所述第一源极与所述第二漏极电性连接,所述第一漏极与所述第二源极电性连接,所述第二栅极与所述放电电极电性连接,所述第二栅极与所述第二漏极电性连接;

衬板;以及,
所述的静电防护结构,所述静电防护结构设置于所述衬板上且位于所述非显示区。
本发明第三方面提供一种显示面板,其包括:
所述薄膜晶体管基板;与所述薄膜晶体管基板相对设置的彩色滤光基板;以及位于所述薄膜晶体管基板与所述彩色滤光基板之间的液晶层。
本发明第四方面提供另一种显示面板,其包括所述薄膜晶体管基板;以及发光元件阵列,所述发光元件阵列包括多个发光单元;每一个发光单元包括一个发光元件,所述薄膜晶体管基板用以驱动所述发光元件发光以显示图像。
相对于现有技术,在上述静电防护结构中,两个相邻的所述静电防护单元的位于不同金属层的所述第二栅极和所述第二漏极通过同一桥接结构电性连接,如此可以节省所述静电防护结构占用的空间,则当所述静电防护结构应用到所述薄膜晶体管基板上时,所述静电防护结构在满足静电放电功能的同时能减少占用所述薄膜晶体管基板的空间,使得使用所述薄膜晶体管基板的显示面板能够实现窄边框设计。
