Description

GOA电路修复方法 技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种GOA电路修复方法。
背景技术
液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)具有机身薄、省电、无辐射等众多优点,得到了广泛的应用。如:液晶电视、移动电话、个人数字助理(PDA)、数字相机、计算机屏幕或笔记本电脑屏幕等,在平板显示领域中占主导地位。
现有市场上的液晶显示器大部分为背光型液晶显示器,其包括液晶显示面板及背光模组(backlight module)。液晶显示面板的工作原理是在薄膜晶体管阵列基板(Thin Film Transistor Array Substrate,TFT Array Substrate)与彩色滤光片基板(Color Filter,CF)之间灌入液晶分子,并在两片基板上施加驱动电压来控制液晶分子的旋转方向,以将背光模组的光线折射出来产生画面。
主动式液晶显示器中,每个像素电性连接一个薄膜晶体管(TFT),薄膜晶体管的栅极(Gate)连接至水平扫描线,漏极(Drain)连接至垂直方向的数据线,源极(Source)则连接至像素电极。在水平扫描线上施加足够的电压,会使得电性连接至该条水平扫描线上的所有TFT打开,从而数据线上的信号电压能够写入像素,控制不同液晶的透光度进而达到控制色彩与亮度的效果。目前主动式液晶显示面板水平扫描线的驱动主要由外接的集成电路板(Integrated Circuit,IC)来完成,外接的IC可以控制各级水平扫描线的逐级充电和放电。而GOA技术(Gate Driver on Array)即集成在阵列基板上的行扫描驱动技术,可以运用液晶显示面板的阵列制程将栅极驱动电路制作在TFT阵列基板上,实现对栅极逐行扫描的驱动方式。GOA技术能减少外接IC的焊接(bonding)工序,有机会提升产能并降低产品成本,而且可以使液晶显示面板更适合制作窄边框或无边框的显示产品。
GOA技术应用于液晶显示器最主要的目的是为了降低成本,但是同时也对制程有比较高的要求。制作GOA电路的工艺过程中容易产生损坏,且GOA电路在损坏后难以修复,大大影响了GOA产品的良率,不符合采用GOA技术降低生产成本的初衷。
