通过结合附图的以下描述, 将会更容易地理解本发明的实施例并且更 容易地理解其伴随的优点和特征, 其中:
图 1示出了根据本发明第一实施例的显示面板的构造的示意图; 图 2示出了根据本发明第二实施例的显示面板的构造的示意图; 以及 图 3示出了根据本发明第三实施例的显示面板的构造的示意图。 具体实施方式
为了使本发明实施例的内容更加清楚和易于理解, 下面结合附图对本 发明的具体实施例进行详细描述。 在本发明实施例中, 以示例方式, 对本 发明实施例提出的显示面板进行了说明, 但是本发明不限于所公开的具体 容对本发明实施例进行修改和变型, 这些修改和变型也应当属于由权利要 求限定的本发明保护的范围。

由于这里采用的开关晶体管的源极、 漏极是对称的, 所以其源极、 漏 极是可以互换的。 在本发明实施例中, 为区分晶体管除栅极之外的两极, 将其中一极称为源极, 另一极称为漏极。 若选取源极作为信号输入端、 则 漏极作为信号输出端, 反之亦然。
图 1示出了根据本发明第一实施例的显示面板 100的构造的示意图。 如图 1所示, 根据本发明第一实施例的显示面板 100包括处于中央的像素 区域 A、 像素区域 A外部的周边布线区域(包括栅线布线区域 5和数据线 布线区域 9 )、 像素区域 A内的数据线 10和栅线 11、 短路环 14、 栅极数 据线防静电电路 6和线路图案(pattern on line, PLG ) 8。 其中, 像素区域 A内的数据线 10和栅线 11分别与周边布线区域内的数据线布线区域 9和 栅线布线区域 5的信号线连接。 在显示面板 100上还设置了共用电极布线 7。 短路环 14和与其相连的防静电电路 6是用于防止显示面板制造过程中 产生的静电而设置在显示面板的像素区域边缘的短路图形, 其与本发明实 施例提出的利用在像素区域和周边布线区域之间设置的检测开关来对短 路 /断路进行检测的发明思想无关, 在此不进行详细描述。
为了使得本发明实施例的显示面板能够进行开关式检测从而对显示 面板 100上的线路问题进行检测, 在本发明第一实施例中的显示面板 100 上还设置了第一薄膜晶体管 12、 第三薄膜晶体管 3、 第四薄膜晶体管 4。
其中, 第一薄膜晶体管 12的栅极与第一外接信号线 GS连接, 第一薄 膜晶体管 12的源极与所述栅线布线区域的信号线连接, 所述第一薄膜晶 体管 12的漏极与所述像素区域的栅线连接。 第三薄膜晶体管 3和第四薄 膜晶体管 4设置在显示面板 100上, 且设置在与第一薄膜晶体管 12相对 的一侧, 第三薄膜晶体管 3的栅极与评估指示信号端子 EN连接, 第三薄 膜晶体管 3的源极与第三外接信号线 GO连接, 第三薄膜晶体管 3的漏极 与奇数行栅线连接; 第四薄膜晶体管 4的栅极与评估指示信号端子 EN连 接, 所述第四薄膜晶体管 4的源极与第四外接信号线 GE连接, 所述第四 薄膜晶体管 4的漏极与偶数行栅线连接。
应用本显示面板进行检测的过程具体如下:
第一步: 检测显示面板中是否有短路 /断路不良;
具体过程为:
1、 给第一外接信号线 GS施加信号, 使第一薄膜晶体管 12导通;
2、 给评估指示信号端子 EN施加信号, 使第三薄膜晶体管 3和第四 薄膜晶体管 4导通;
3、 给第三外接信号线 GO和第四外接信号线 GE交替施加脉沖信号, 观察是否有相邻两行像素单元同时显示的现象或施加信号的对应行是否 有不能正常显示的像素单元。
例如: 在给第三行像素单元施加信号使第三行像素单元显示的同时, 第四行像素是否与第三行同时显示, 如同时显示, 说明这相邻的两行像素 有短路, 如相邻两行像素单元与第三外接信号线 GO和第四外接信号线 GE同频率交替显示, 则说明该相邻两行像素没有短路。 或在给第三行像 素单元施加信号使第三行像素单元显示时, 第三行像素单元中有一个或多 个像素单元不能正常显示, 则说明有断路存在。
如为断路情况, 则对不能正常显示的像素进行扫描检测 (或寸动检 测), 确定断路发生的具体位置, 并进行修复。
如有短路情况, 则进行第二步和第三步:
第二步: 判断是像素区域 A短路还是周边布线区域短路;
具体过程如下:
1、 给第一外接信号线 GS施加信号, 使第一薄膜晶体管 12截止;
2、 给评估指示信号端子 EN施加信号, 使第三薄膜晶体管 3和第四 薄膜晶体管 4导通;
3、 给第三外接信号线 GO和第四外接信号线 GE交替施加脉沖信号, 同时, 输入使各像素单元显示相同灰度的数据信号, 观察在第一步中出现 短路的相邻两行像素单元是否还同时显示, 如同时显示, 说明短路发生在 像素区域, 如不再同时显示, 说明短路发生在周边布线区域。
第三步: 对短路区域进行修复。 如短路发生在像素区域, 对像素区域 发生短路的相邻的两条栅线进行扫描, 确定具体短路位置, 对短路位置进 行修复; 如短路发生在周边布线区域, 则对周边布线区域中与像素区域短 路的栅线对应的信号线进行扫描, 确定短路的具体位置, 对短路位置进行 修复。
以上所述的所有薄膜晶体管可以为 N型薄膜晶体管,也可以为 P型薄 膜晶体管, 若为 N型薄膜晶体管, 则在需要薄膜晶体管导通时, 施加高电 平, 在需要薄膜晶体管截止时施加低电平; 如为 P型薄膜晶体管, 则在需 要薄膜晶体管导通时施加低电平, 在需要薄膜晶体管截止时施加高电平。
采用上述的液晶面板设计, 能够准确、 快速的检测是否有短路或断路 不良及不良发生的具体位置, 在检测过程中仅需对小区域的信号线进行寸 动检测, 节省了检测时间, 提高了检测效率。
对于 8"的 1280x800的显示面板而言, 外接信号端子 GS的高电压一 般在 15V至 50V的范围内, 而低电压在 -20V至 0V的范围内; 第三外接 信号线 GO和第四外接信号线 GE的电压与显示面板工作时栅极电压相同。

图 2示出了根据本发明第二实施例的显示面板 200的构造的示意图。 图 2所示的根据本发明第二实施例的显示面板 200与图 1所示的根据 本发明第一实施例的显示面板 100的构造不同之处在于,显示面板 200中, 在像素区域 A与周边布线区域中的数据线布线区域 9之间设置了第二薄膜 晶体管 13。 第二薄膜晶体管 13的栅极与第二外接信号端子 DS相连, 以 通过在第二外接信号端子 DS上施加信号来控制第二薄膜晶体管 13的开关 状态。 第二薄膜晶体管 13用于控制数据线周边布线区与像素区域的连接 与断开。

具体过程为:
1、 给第一外接信号线 DS施加信号, 使第二薄膜晶体管 13导通; 2、 给评估指示信号端子 EN施加信号, 使第五薄膜晶体管 1和第六 薄膜晶体管 2导通;
3、 给第五外接信号线 DO和第六外接信号线 DE交替施加脉沖信号, 同时给栅线输入信号, 使各行中用于控制像素显示的像素薄膜晶体管均导 通, 观察是否有相邻两列像素单元同时显示的现象或是否有像素单元不能 正常显示。
例如: 在给第三列像素单元施加信号使第三列像素单元显示的同时, 第四列像素是否与第三列同时显示, 如同时显示, 说明这相邻的两列像素 有短路, 如相邻两列像素单元与第五外接信号线 DO和第六外接信号线 DE同频率交替显示, 则说明该相邻两列像素没有短路。 如在给第三列像 素单元施加信号使第三列像素单元显示时, 第三列中有一个或多个像素单 元不能正常显示, 则说明有断路现象存在。
如有断路情况, 则对该不能正常显示的像素单元进行扫描检测(或寸 动检测), 确定断路的具体位置, 并进行修复。
如有短路情况, 则进行第二步和第三步:
第二步: 判断是像素区域 A短路还是周边布线区域短路;
具体过程如下:
1、 给第二外接信号线 DS施加信号, 使第二薄膜晶体管 13截止;
2、 给评估指示信号端子 EN施加信号, 使第五薄膜晶体管 1和第六 薄膜晶体管 2导通;
3、 给第五外接信号线 DO和第六外接信号线 DE交替施加脉沖信号, 观察在第一步中出现短路的相邻两列像素单元是否还同时显示, 如同时显 示, 说明短路发生在像素区域, 如不再同时显示, 说明短路发生在周边布 线区域。
第三步: 对短路区域进行修复。 如短路发生在像素区域, 对像素区域 发生短路的相邻的两条数据线进行扫描, 确定具体短路位置, 对短路位置 进行修复; 如短路发生在周边布线区域, 则对周边布线区域中与像素区域 短路的数据线对应的信号线进行扫描, 确定短路的具体位置, 对短路位置 进行修复。
采用上述的液晶面板设计, 能够准确、 快速的检测是否有短路或断路 不良及不良发生的具体位置, 在检测过程中仅需对小区域的信号线进行寸 动检测, 节省了检测时间, 提高了检测效率。
本发明的实施例提供的第三种显示面板, 包括像素区域和周边布线区 域, 像素区域和周边布线区域之间设置有检测开关, 检测开关与像素区域 的栅线和数据线均——对应, 检测开关用于控制像素区域和周边布线区域 的连接与断开。
