Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to show technical field, especially involve a display panel, display screen and electronic equipment.
Background
An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display device has become a next generation display technology with great development prospect due to its advantages of being thin, light, wide in viewing angle, active in light emission, continuously adjustable in light emission color, low in cost, fast in response speed, low in energy consumption, low in driving voltage, wide in working temperature range, simple in production process, high in light-emitting efficiency, capable of flexibly displaying and the like.
The components such as water vapor and oxygen in the air greatly affect the service life of the OLED light emitting device in the OLED display device because the water vapor and oxygen in the air chemically react with the functional layer in the OLED light emitting device, and the chemical reactions all cause the failure of the OLED light emitting device. Thereby reducing the luminous efficiency of the OLED luminous device until the OLED luminous device can not emit light, and further showing the phenomenon of black spots or black spots.
The formation of black spots or black spots of an OLED display device, except directly caused by cracking of the encapsulation layer or the substrate opposite the OLED light emitter; the cracking of the packaging layer or the substrate at the edge of the display panel to a certain degree may also cause the permeation of water vapor and oxygen, thereby affecting the luminous efficiency of the OLED illuminator and further forming black spots.
At present, cracking detection of an encapsulation layer or a substrate at an edge position of an OLED display panel mainly uses a metal trace (a material of the metal trace is usually Mo) in the substrate as a detection trace, so as to determine whether the encapsulation layer or the substrate cracks by using a change of resistance before and after the metal trace cracks. However, when the package layer or the substrate has micro cracks, the metal traces are not broken, which may not cause a large change in the resistance of the metal traces (much smaller than the M Ω level), and thus there is a possibility of missing inspection, but the micro cracks may also cause black spots on the display device. In addition, since the metal trace used as the detection trace is the metal trace arranged in the substrate, if the single package layer cracks, the detection cannot be performed by the method.

For the convenience of understanding the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the following description is first made of the application scenario of the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and the display panel can be disposed in electronic devices such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, and a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). Referring to fig. 1, an electronic device may generally include a display screen 101, a middle frame 102, a rear case 103, and a printed circuit board (PCB 104), wherein the middle frame 102 may be used to carry the printed circuit board and the display screen 101, the display screen 101 and the printed circuit board are located at two sides of the middle frame 102, and the rear case 103 is located at one side of the printed circuit board far from the middle frame 102. In addition, the electronic device may further include a component 1041 disposed on the PCB 104, and the component 1041 may be, but is not limited to, disposed on a side of the PCB 104 facing the middle frame 102. The embodiment of the utility model provides a display panel specifically sets up in electronic equipment's display screen, and this display screen can be flexible display screen or rigid display screen. The flexible display screen may be an OLED flexible display screen, or a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED) flexible display screen. In the following embodiments of the present invention, the display screen is an OLED flexible display screen, and the display screens in other forms are arranged in a similar manner.
Referring to fig. 2, the OLED flexible display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention may be but not limited to include a protection cover plate 201, a polarizer 202, a display panel 203, a heat dissipation layer 204 and a protection layer 205, wherein when the OLED flexible display panel is specifically configured, the polarizer 202 may be fixed to the protection cover plate 201 with reference to fig. 2.
The protective cover 201 may be a transparent glass cover or a cover made of organic material such as polyimide, so as to reduce the influence on the display effect of the display screen while playing a role of protection; the polarizer 202 may be a circular polarizer for preventing the anode from reflecting light. The heat dissipation layer 204 may be a heat dissipation copper foil, and the protection layer 205 may be protection foam. The layers of the flexible display may be bonded together by optically clear adhesive or non-clear pressure sensitive adhesive (not shown). In addition, since components such as water vapor and oxygen in the air have a great influence on the lifetime of the OLED light emitting device of the display panel 203, the OLED light emitting device of the display panel needs to be strictly sealed in water and oxygen so that each functional layer of the OLED light emitting device is sufficiently separated from the components such as water vapor and oxygen in the air.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 shows a display panel of an OLED flexible display. A metal trace 303 is disposed on the inorganic layer 302 of the substrate 301 of the display panel, and the metal trace 303 is disposed in an edge region of the display panel and used as a detection line for detecting whether a crack is generated in the edge region of the display panel. The material of the metal trace 303 may be, but is not limited to, brittle metal such as Mo, so that when the inorganic layer 302 is broken, the metal trace 303 is easily broken, and the resistance value of the detection line is changed.
Referring to fig. 4, when performing a specific inspection on the edge region of the display panel, the metal traces 303 may be connected to a detection device (not shown). With reference to fig. 4, the metal trace 303 may be disposed around an edge region of the display panel, and two connection ends 401 connected to the detection device are reserved, where the two connection ends 401 extend to a bonding area 402 of the display panel and are connected to the detection device through a connection line in the bonding area 402. The detection device may be, but is not limited to, integrated in a driving chip 1041a (not shown in fig. 4, refer to fig. 1) of the display panel, or separately provided. It is understood that when the detection device needs to be separately disposed, the separately disposed detection device may also be disposed on the PCB 104 in fig. 1. In some embodiments, the resistance of the metal trace 303 may be detected by a detection device, and when the detected resistance exceeds a preset resistance threshold range, it may be determined that a crack is generated in the edge region.
However, when the substrate 301 of the display panel has a micro crack, the metal trace 303 is likely not to be broken, which may not cause a large change in the resistance of the metal trace 303, and thus there is a possibility of missing detection, but the micro crack may also cause black spots of the display device. In addition, since the metal trace 303 used as the detection trace is the metal trace 303 disposed in the substrate 301, if the package layer 503 of the simple display panel cracks, the detection cannot be performed by this method.
In order to solve the problem, the embodiment of the utility model provides a display panel is provided to whether improve display panel and have the detection accuracy of crackle, thereby improve the product yield. The structure of the display panel will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 5, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel having a plurality of stacked layer structures, a first detection line 501 is disposed on one layer structure of the display panel, and a second detection line 502 is disposed on the other layer structure of the display panel. The first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 may be disposed in an edge region of the display panel to avoid affecting the display area of the display panel for displaying, and to achieve detection of the edge region of the display panel. In addition, a capacitance may be formed between the first sensing line 501 and the second sensing line 502, the first sensing line 501 may serve as a first electrode of the capacitance, and the second sensing line 502 may serve as a second electrode of the capacitance.
The capacitance value of the capacitor is related to the facing area of the electrodes at two ends of the capacitor and the dielectric constant of a medium between the two electrodes. Under the premise that the facing area of the two electrodes is not changed, when a layer structure between the two electrodes cracks, the dielectric constant of a medium between the two electrodes can change greatly, so that the capacitance value of the capacitor can change greatly. In this way, by providing the detection means for detecting the capacitance value of the capacitance between the first electrode and the second electrode and comparing this capacitance value with a predetermined threshold range of capacitance values, it is possible to determine whether a crack has occurred in the layer structure between the two electrodes.
With continued reference to fig. 5, in some embodiments, the display panel may include a substrate, a thin-film transistor layer (not shown), an encapsulation layer 503, and a touch layer 504. The thin film transistor layer is disposed on the substrate, and the encapsulation layer 503 is disposed on a side of the thin film transistor layer away from the substrate to implement encapsulation of the thin film transistor layer. The touch layer 504 is located on a side of the package layer 503 away from the thin film transistor layer, and can also perform a packaging function on the basis of realizing a touch function. Because the thin film transistor layer is provided with the plurality of OLED light-emitting devices, the substrate positioned on the two sides of the thin film transistor layer, the packaging layer 503 and the touch layer 504 are cracked, so that water vapor and oxygen in the air can enter the thin film transistor, the OLED light-emitting devices are damaged, the light-emitting efficiency of the OLED light-emitting devices is affected, and even black spots or black spots appear. Therefore, the detection of whether the substrate, the encapsulation layer 503 and the touch layer 504 have cracks is important for the detection of the quality of the display panel.
As shown in fig. 5, in an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate may provide a flexible carrier substrate for the thin-film transistor layer, which may include, but is not limited to, a plurality of organic and inorganic layers arranged in a stack. Since the organic layer is made of an organic material, the organic layer has good toughness and is less likely to crack than the inorganic layer, and thus, cracking of the substrate generally occurs in the inorganic layer. Illustratively, when the first sensing line 501 is specifically disposed, at least one inorganic layer may exist between the layer structure for disposing the first sensing line 501 and the thin film transistor layer. So that when the inorganic layer cracks, the dielectric constant of the medium between the first sensing line 501 and the second sensing line 502 changes, thereby affecting the capacitance value of the capacitance between the first sensing line 501 and the second sensing line 502.
In addition, the first sensing line 501 may also be disposed on the inorganic layer, so that when the inorganic layer cracks, the first sensing line 501 disposed thereon is broken, so that the facing area between the first sensing line 501 and the second sensing line 502 is changed, thereby affecting the capacitance value of the capacitance between the first sensing line 501 and the second sensing line 502. It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, as long as there is a certain medium between two detection lines, when crack or any one of the detection lines breaks appears in this medium, it can lead to the appearance value between two detection lines to change.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the first detection line 501 can be disposed on the same layer with other metal traces of the substrate, so as to form patterns of other metal traces and the first detection line 501 simultaneously through a metal layer deposition and a mask process. For example, the first sensing line 501 may be disposed at the same layer as the gate electrode, so that the pattern of the first sensing line 501 may be formed around the edge region of the display panel while the gate electrode pattern is formed. This can provide convenience in manufacturing the first detection line 501, and thus can effectively reduce the processing cost. Since the metal for forming the gate pattern is generally molybdenum, when the first sensing line 501 is disposed at the same level as the gate, the first sensing line 501 is also formed of molybdenum metal. The molybdenum metal is brittle metal, so when the layer structure of the first detection line 501 formed by the molybdenum metal cracks, the first detection line 501 can be broken, the capacitance between the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 can be influenced by the change of the dielectric constant of the medium and the positive area of the electrode, and the detection precision of whether the cracks occur on the display panel or not can be improved. It is understood that the first sensing line 501 may also be formed of other brittle materials, such as molybdenum aluminum neodymium molybdenum (mo), Indium Tin Oxides (ITO), etc. In addition, the first sensing line 501 may also be formed by metal deposition, etching, or the like, so that the arrangement position thereof is more flexible.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a plan view of the display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the first detection line 501 is disposed around the edge region of the display panel, the first detection line 501 may be, but is not limited to, formed as a closed rectangle indicated by a dotted line in fig. 6. In other embodiments, the first detection line 501 may be divided into two disconnected portions, each of which may have a U-shape formed by a sine or cosine curve, for example, as shown in fig. 8; or each part has a U-shape formed by straight lines, such as in fig. 9; or each portion may be U-shaped, such as in fig. 10, formed by a twist-like curve. It is understood that, when the first detection line 501 is divided into two parts for setting, the two parts may be divided into two parts for setting, i.e., a left part and a right part as shown in fig. 8 to 10, or an upper part and a lower part; the arrangement may be divided into two parts which are arranged uniformly, or may be divided into two parts which are not arranged uniformly. In the above embodiment, when the first detection line 501 is provided in two divided portions, the two portions are the same in shape. In addition, in some alternative embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 11a, when the first detection line 501 is divided into two parts for setting, the shapes of the two parts may be different. It can be understood that the specific position of the first detection line 501 can be adjusted according to the detection position of the display panel, and if which position of the display panel needs to be detected, the first detection line 501 may be disposed at the corresponding position of the display panel. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 11a, the first detection line 501 may be divided into two left and right parts along the central axis of the display panel to detect the two left and right parts of the display panel.
Referring to fig. 6 and 7 together, in forming the first sensing line 501, it is also possible to have the first sensing line 501 have a first lead-out line 601, the first lead-out line 601 extending to the bonding region 402 of the display panel. In the technical field, the circuit structures in the display panel can be led to an area of the display panel, and then bound to the corresponding functional module of the electronic device through the flexible circuit board, and the area can be defined as a binding area. The binding area 402 may be disposed at any position of the display panel, for example, as shown in fig. 6, the binding area 402 is disposed at the bottom of the display panel. In one possible embodiment of the present invention, after the first detection line 501 is led to the binding area 402 through the first outgoing line 601, the first outgoing line 601 may be led to the detection device through a flexible circuit board or the like. Referring to fig. 8 to 10, by providing the first detection line 501 in two parts, one first lead line 601 (see fig. 6) can be provided for each part of the first detection line 501, so that two parts (e.g., left and right parts in fig. 6) of the display panel can be detected separately, thereby improving detection accuracy. Of course, the first detection line 501 may be divided into more (two or more) broken portions to improve the detection accuracy of the position where the crack occurs.
Referring to fig. 5, when the second detection line 502 is specifically set, it can be understood that the second detection line 502 has a portion that is set directly opposite to the first detection line 501, that is, a projection portion of the second detection line 502 in the direction of the first detection line 501 or all of it falls within the setting range of the first detection line 501. For example, the portion of the second detection line 502 opposite to the first detection line 501 may be a portion having a length L as shown in fig. 5, so that the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 can satisfy the requirement of two electrodes as capacitances, respectively, when the capacitances are formed therebetween. In addition, when the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 are specifically provided, in the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the dimension in the L direction of the first detection line 501 is larger than the dimension in the L direction of the second detection line 502, and the projection of the second detection line 502 in the direction of the first detection line 501 falls entirely within the range in which the first detection line 501 is provided. In other embodiments of the present invention, the dimension of the first detection line 501 along the L direction may be smaller than the dimension of the second detection line 502 along the L direction, so that the projection of the first detection line 501 along the second detection line 502 all falls within the setting range of the second detection line 502; alternatively, the first detection lines 501 and the second detection lines 502 may be alternately arranged in the stacking direction of the display panels, so that the projection portions of the second detection lines 502 in the direction of the first detection lines 501 fall within the arrangement range of the first detection lines 501.
In order to detect the encapsulation layer 503 and the touch layer 504, part or all of the encapsulation layer 503 and the touch layer 504 needs to be disposed between the second detection line 502 and the first detection line 501. Since the touch layer 504 may include the stacked touch buffer layer 5041 and touch dielectric layer 5042, with continued reference to fig. 5, the second detection lines 502 may be disposed between the touch buffer layer 5041 and the touch dielectric layer 5042. In this way, the whole layer structure of the encapsulation layer 503 and part of the layer structure of the touch layer 504 can be located between the second detection line 502 and the first detection line 501, so that when one or more structures of the substrate, the encapsulation layer 503 and the touch layer 504 are cracked, the capacitance value of the capacitance between the two detection lines can be changed, and the detection precision can be effectively improved.
In addition, there are touch electrode traces in the touch layer 504, and the touch electrode traces are usually formed by etching sequentially deposited titanium, aluminum and titanium metal layers. Thus, when the second detection line 502 is specifically disposed, the second detection line 502 and the touch electrode trace may be disposed on the same layer. The pattern of the second detection line 502 is formed in the edge area of the display panel while the touch electrode routing pattern is formed through the primary metal layer deposition and the mask process. Therefore, convenience can be provided for manufacturing the second detection line 502, and the processing cost can be effectively reduced. It is understood that the second sensing line 502 may be formed of other metals than the above-described titanium, aluminum and titanium metal layers. In addition, the second sensing lines 502 may also be formed separately through processes such as metal deposition, etching, and the like, so that the arrangement positions thereof are more flexible.
Referring to fig. 6, when the second detection lines 502 are disposed around the edge area of the display panel, the second detection lines 502 may be, but are not limited to, formed in a closed rectangle in fig. 6. In other embodiments, the second detection line 502 may be divided into two disconnected portions, each of which may have a U-shape formed by a sine or cosine curve, for example, as shown in fig. 8; or each part has a U-shape formed by straight lines, such as in fig. 9; or each portion may be U-shaped, such as in fig. 10, formed by a twist-like curve. In the above embodiment, when the second detection line 502 is provided in two divided portions, the two portions are identical in shape. In addition, in some alternative embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 11a, when the second detection line 502 is divided into two parts for setting, the shapes of the two parts may be different. It can be understood that the specific position of the second detection line 502 can be adjusted according to the detection position of the display panel, and if it is necessary to detect the position of the display panel, the second detection line 502 may be disposed at the corresponding position of the display panel.
Referring to fig. 6 and 7 together, in forming the second sensing line 502, it is also possible to have a second lead line 602 for the second sensing line 502, the second lead line 602 extending to the bonding area 402 of the display panel. Referring to fig. 8 to 10, by providing the second detection lines 502 in two parts, one second lead 602 (see fig. 6) can be provided for each part of the second detection lines 502, so that two parts (e.g., the left and right parts in fig. 6) of the display panel can be detected separately, thereby improving detection accuracy. Of course, the second detection line 502 may be divided into more (two or more) broken portions to improve the detection accuracy of the position where the crack occurs.
In one possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the first detection line 501 may be provided as a closed rectangle shown by a dotted line, the second detection line 502 may be provided as two left and right portions, the first detection line 501 is provided with two first lead lines 601 extending to the bonding region 402 of the display panel, and each portion of the second detection line 502 has one second lead line 602 extending to the bonding region 402 of the display panel. In this way, one first lead wire 601 of the first detection line 501 and the second lead wire 602 of the second detection line 502 disposed on the same side can be used as two terminals of two electrodes for capacitance detection, respectively, so that the capacitance value of the capacitance between the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 on that side can be detected. In addition, it can be understood that when the first lead wire 601 and/or the second lead wire 602 disposed on the same side are broken, the capacitance between the two detection lines may also be changed, which is beneficial to improve the detection accuracy of the display panel.
In the above-described embodiment, the detection of both the left and right sides of the display panel can be realized by setting the first detection line 501 as a closed rectangle indicated by a dotted line in fig. 6 and setting the second detection line 502 as two left and right portions. In the utility model discloses in other embodiments, can also set up first detection line 501 as the closed rectangle that the dotted line shows, set up second detection line 502 as the closed rectangle that is enclosed by the twist form curve that is shown in fig. 11b simultaneously, can regard as two joints of two electrodes that electric capacity detected respectively with first lead-out wire 601 of first detection line 501 and second lead-out wire 602 of second detection line 502 like this to can realize the marginal area's of whole panel detection. It is understood that the specific arrangement positions of the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 can be adjusted according to the detection position of the display panel, and which position of the display panel needs to be detected, the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 may be arranged at corresponding positions of the display panel, which is not listed here.
Further, the presence or absence of a crack in the layer structure in which the first detection line 501 is located can be detected solely by the first lead wire 601 led out from the first detection line 501, due to a change in resistance of the first detection line 501. Similarly, the detection of the presence or absence of a crack in the layer structure in which the second detection line 502 is located may be achieved solely by the second lead line 602 led out from the second detection line 502, by a change in the resistance of the second detection line 502.
Adopt the utility model discloses display panel, the accessible forms first detection line 501 and second detection line 502 respectively in display panel's different layer structures to form electric capacity between first detection line 501 and second detection line 502. Thus, whether the display panel cracks or not is detected by the capacitance value change of the capacitance between the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502. By adopting the detection mode, the existence of cracks on the display panel can be detected through the capacitance value change of the capacitor when the substrate has cracks, and the capacitance value change of the capacitor can also be caused when the packaging layer 503 or the touch layer 504 has cracks, so that the conclusion that the display panel has cracks can be obtained. Therefore, the detection precision of the display panel can be effectively improved, and the product yield is improved.
In order to further understand the utility model discloses the display panel's of embodiment mode of setting, the utility model also provides a display panel's manufacturing method. For convenience of description, in this embodiment, the first detection line 501 and the gate are disposed at the same layer, and the second detection line 502 and the touch trace are disposed at the same layer, for example, to describe the disposing manner of the display panel.
First, referring to fig. 12, when forming a gate electrode of a substrate, a gate pattern is formed by one mask process, and a pattern of a first sensing line 501 is formed in an edge region of a display panel, and only a layer structure of the edge region of the display panel is shown in fig. 12. In the embodiment of the present invention, the size of the first detection line 501 is not specifically limited, and for example, the thickness of the first detection line 501 may be 200nm to 300nm, such as 208nm, 210nm, 220nm, 230nm, 250nm, 255nm, 260nm, 280nm, or 295 nm; the width of the first detection line 501 can be selected within 7-10 um, for example, 8um, 8.5um, 9um, 9.5um, etc.
Then, referring to fig. 13, the substrate 1301, the thin-film transistor layer (not shown) and the encapsulation layer 503 are prepared, and the preparation processes of the substrate 1301, the thin-film transistor layer and the encapsulation layer 503 are well known to those skilled in the art and therefore will not be described herein again.
Thereafter, referring to fig. 14, after the substrate 1301, the thin film transistor layer, and the encapsulation layer 503 are prepared, a touch buffer layer 5041 is formed on the encapsulation layer 503, and titanium, aluminum, and titanium are sequentially deposited on the touch buffer layer 5041 to form a metal layer. While the metal layer is etched to form a touch electrode trace pattern, a second detection line 502 is formed in the edge region. In the embodiment of the present invention, the size of the second detection line 502 is not specifically limited, and for example, the thickness of the second detection line 502 may be 200nm to 350nm, such as 210nm, 220nm, 230nm, 235nm, 250nm, 255nm, 260nm, 280nm, 300nm, 315nm, 330nm, or 340 nm; the width of the second detection line 502 can be 7.5-10um, for example, 8um, 8.5um, 9um, 9.5um, etc.
Finally, referring to fig. 6, the layer structure of the touch layer 504 is continuously configured, and the preparation process of the touch layer 504 is well known to those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described herein again.
Further, when the display panel is cracked or cracked, the change in capacitance between the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 having different widths is compared with each other: adopt the embodiment of the utility model provides a display panel who obtains, when display panel crackle and crackle-free condition appear, the appearance value of the electric capacity between first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 changes comparatively obviously. Since the capacitance value of the capacitance between the first sensing line 501 and the second sensing line 502 may fluctuate within a certain threshold range in the case of a display panel without cracks. Therefore, the capacitance value of the capacitance between the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 can be used for comparison with the threshold range, and when the capacitance value of the capacitance between the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 falls within the threshold range, it is determined that no crack occurs in the display panel; when the capacitance value of the capacitance between the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 exceeds the threshold range, it is judged that the display panel has a crack.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the display panel may include a substrate, a thin film transistor layer, and an encapsulation layer. At this time, the specific arrangement of the first detection line 501 can be performed with reference to the above embodiments, and will not be described herein again. In the setting of the second sensing line 502, since the display panel of this embodiment does not have a touch layer, the second sensing line 502 may be provided in a layer structure of the encapsulation layer 503 in order to enable the detection of the encapsulation layer 503.
In other embodiments, since the anode of the thin film transistor layer may be disposed on the substrate, the second inspection line 502 may also be disposed on the same layer as the anode, and the encapsulation layer 503 encapsulates the second inspection line 502. Thus, when the package layer 503 is cracked and the second sensing line 502 is broken, the capacitance value of the capacitance between the first sensing line 501 and the second sensing line 502 is also changed. Thereby concluding that the display panel has cracks. Therefore, the detection precision of the display panel can be effectively improved, and the product yield is improved.
In addition, in order to detect the capacitance between the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502, a detection device needs to be provided. The detection device may be integrated in an existing chip of the electronic device (for example, the integrated circuit chip 1041b in fig. 1 or the driving chip 1041a of the display panel); alternatively, the setting may be performed separately. It can be understood that the detection device, whether designed integrally with an existing chip or separately, can be disposed on a printed circuit board of the electronic device, so that the detection of the display panel can be achieved through the electronic device itself.
Referring to fig. 15, the present invention provides a detection device that may include an excitation signal generator 1501, a capacitance acquisition circuit 1502, an amplifier 1503, an a/D converter 1504, and an interface circuit 1505. The excitation signal generator 1501 is configured to generate an excitation signal for the capacitance value acquisition circuit 1502 to start capacitance value signal acquisition. With continued reference to fig. 15, CX denotes a capacitance formed between the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 (refer to fig. 6), which is connected to the capacitance value acquisition circuit 1502. Specifically, when the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 are connected to the capacitance value acquisition circuit 1502, referring to fig. 6, the first lead line 601 and the second lead line 602 extending to the bonding area 402 may be connected to the capacitance value acquisition circuit 1502 through connection lines. In addition, the capacitance value acquired by the capacitance value acquisition circuit 1502 may be amplified by the amplifier 1503, converted by the a/D converter 1504, and finally output via the data interface 15051 of the interface circuit 1505.
The detection device may further include a processor connected to the data interface 15051, and the processor may be integrated in the integrated circuit chip 1041b of the electronic device provided with the display panel of the embodiment of the present invention, or may be disposed in a testing machine outside the electronic device. When the processor is integrated in the integrated circuit chip 1041b of the electronic device, the data detected by the detection device may be received and processed by the integrated circuit chip 1041b, so as to determine whether the display panel has a crack by a self-test. And when the collected capacity value exceeds the set threshold range, an alarm is generated. And when the acquired capacity value is within the set threshold value range, reporting that the display panel is normal and has no cracks.
In addition, when the processor is arranged in the external tester, the processor can receive and process the data detected by the detection device, so that whether the display panel has cracks or not can be judged in an external test mode. And when the collected capacity value exceeds the set threshold range, an alarm is generated. And when the acquired capacity value is within the set threshold value range, reporting that the display panel is normal and has no cracks.
The embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for detecting a display panel, which can refer to fig. 16, fig. 16 shows a flowchart of a method for detecting a display panel, and the steps of detecting a display panel can be known by referring to fig. 15 and fig. 16. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
step 001: the capacitance value acquisition circuit 1502 acquires capacitance between the first detection line 501 and the second detection line 502 (see fig. 6), and converts the acquired capacitance value of the capacitance into a pressure value;
step 002: converting the pressure value from an analog signal to a digital signal through the a/D converter 1504 so as to be recognized by a subsequent processor;
step 003: buffering the digital signal by the interface circuit 1505 and outputting to the processor;
