Description

The inspection method of liquid crystal indicator
Technical field
The present invention relates to the inspection method of liquid crystal indicator.
Background technology
The display frame of liquid crystal indicator that is used to have the mancarried device of display part has the dot matrix display part mostly and two in graphic presentation portion shows key element.For example, in mobile phone, show telephone number and literal, at the state and the battery remaining amount of graphic presentation portion demonstration electric wave, perhaps other symbol and mark at the dot matrix display part.Here the majority of employed liquid crystal display cells sees it is that data line with the dot matrix display part is connected with the graph segments of graphic presentation portion from the easy degree of cost and driving, increase the scanning electrode wire of dot matrix portion, and the scanning electrode wire of dot matrix portion is used as the graph segments scanning electrode wire.
Like this, with regard to connection, a graph segments of graphic presentation portion has following advantage: 1) can drive as a point of dot matrix display part, it is simple that drive controlling becomes, 2) because figure can be not being that the mode of set of point shows, with compare shape can clearly show, 3 with the situation of dot matrix display graphics shape) need not to form the pattern generator of graphics shape with point.
In general, because count (=transversely arranged counting=the number of data lines) of a scanning electrode wire of the number of graph segments comparison is few, the part of the data line of dot matrix portion respectively is connected with graph segments.
In the manufacturing process of such mobile phone, screen defect for the dot matrix portion that checks display frame, particularly line open circuit and line short circuit will carry out that demonstration is turn-offed in whole image conducting demonstration, whole image, whole image is the alternate grid-like demonstration of break-make (hereinafter to be referred as grid-like demonstration).In addition, for having or not of short circuit between the transparency electrode in the graphic presentation portion that checks display frame, as shown in Figure 5, successively each graph segments is lighted.This be because the situation that the short circuit possibility arranged in dot matrix portion only between 2 data lines of front and back adjacency, and in graphic presentation portion because of 1 data line and the data line adjacency more than 2, the cause with the possibility of data line short circuit more than 2 is often arranged.
If with Fig. 2 is that example describes, then show to the figure that shows the battery remaining amount by the figure that shows the electric wave state in the upper right side of Fig. 2, upper left side and the lead-out wiring of the data line that graph segments separately constitutes.The details of graph segments separately have been shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 in addition.Figure 23 illustrates the line of common electrode, figure 24 illustrates the line of segment electrode.
Here, the graph segments that is connected with S19 is with graph segments that is connected with S18 and the graph segments adjacency that is connected with S20.Because the short circuit between data line can be caused by 2 kinds of situations between S18-S19 and between S19-S20, as long as these 2 groups of inspections are just enough.But, the graph segments that is connected with S16 but with figure portion or dot matrix portion in S15, S17, these 3 data line adjacency of S18.Therefore, concerning S16, just be necessary to check S15-S16, S16-S17, these 3 kinds of situations of S16-S18, promptly 3 groups of data short-circuits between conductors has or not.
If there is the short circuit between transparency electrode, then when lighting a graph segments, the short circuit part is just connected, and also another graph segments is applied voltage, and the graph segments that originally should not light is also lighted simultaneously.Thereby, the show state in the time of can each graph segments being lighted successively by observation, the graph segments beyond the affirmation order is not lighted, with having or not of short circuit between the transparency electrode of checking the figure display part.
Between the transparency electrode of checking the figure display part, during the having or not of short circuit, as shown in Figure 5, light each graph segments successively, check very time-consuming.In addition, light sweep time if shorten in order to shorten the supervision time, then the time of lighting of shorted segment also shortens, and unacceptable product leaks the situation of seeing to be increased, thereby is difficult to shorten the supervision time.Because the overlooker is watching the graph segments of lighting successively attentively always, eyes are easy to fatigue.
Summary of the invention
In dot matrix portion, carry out 1 grid-like demonstration, 2 grid-like demonstrations, 3 grid-like demonstrations, 4 multiple grid-like demonstrations such as grid-like demonstration successively or simultaneously.In figure portion, do not show.Even in dot matrix portion, also carry out above-mentioned grid-like demonstration if in figure portion, do not show, then accordingly per 1 row of data segment, per 2 row, per 3 row, per 4 row are applied different voltage, also to applying identical voltage with graph segments that data segment connects with each of each grid-like demonstration.When between certain a pair of graph segments electric pole short circuit being arranged, if carry out this right section is applied the grid-like demonstration of different voltages, then in the dot matrix display part of this segment electrode abnormal show appears.As being that the white example that just is shown as describes for black, the non-voltage application portion of lighting to light voltage application portion, then light voltage and be pulled down to the non-voltage of lighting, become low-voltage, black demonstration becomes somber and shows; The non-voltage of lighting is drawn high and is lighted voltage, and originally white demonstration but becomes somber and shows under high voltage.That is to say that the poor short circuit that detects graph segments portion by the show state of observing dot matrix portion becomes possibility.
In addition, at this moment, because the current sinking value becomes greater than normal value, by monitoring the current sinking value, the poor short circuit that detects graph segments portion becomes possibility simultaneously.Because of the current sinking value becomes greater than normal value, the thermal value that constitutes the electronic unit of driving circuit increases, thereby by supervision thermal values such as application of temperature writing-methods, the poor short circuit that detects graph segments portion becomes possibility.Usually, the internal driving of power circuit is very not little.Along with the increase of current sinking, liquid crystal drive voltage becomes and is lower than normal value, thereby by monitoring the liquid crystal drive voltage value, the poor short circuit that detects graph segments portion becomes possibility.
