具体实施方式
这里将详细地对示例性实施例进行说明,其示例表示在附图中。下面的描述涉及附图时,除非另有表示,不同附图中的相同数字表示相同或相似的要素。以下示例性实施例中所描述的实施方式并不代表与本公开相一致的所有实施方式。相反,它们仅是与如所附权利要求书中所详述的、本公开的一些方面相一致的装置和方法的例子。
相关技术中,在显示面板制造过程以及可靠性测试中,显示面板内部电路金属或其他材料(例如无机材料)由于承受应力的能力不足,往往会令显示面板产生断裂,尤其是可弯折显示面板,断裂的风险更高。因此,为了防止显示面板在生产或可靠性测试过程中产生断裂,通常在显示面板中设置裂纹检测(Panel Crack Detection,简称PCD)机制。
如图1所示,可以围绕显示面板11的显示区12设置一根金属线13,金属线13与显示区12边缘基本平行,金属线13的两端设有测点14、15,可以通过测点14、15检测金属线13的电阻来检测显示面板上是否存在裂纹。当金属线13的电阻无穷大或者比处于完好状态的金属线13的电阻大时,可确定显示面板上存在裂纹。
如图2所示,也可以在基板21上的显示区22外周的非显示区23设置金属线24,金属线24一端设有测点25,另一端通过晶体管T与测点26连接,晶体管T还与驱动 芯片27连接。其中,显示区22内设有像素组成的像素阵列,测点26通过晶体管T与像素阵列中的一列像素连接。通过测点25、26可以检测晶体管T对应的一列像素是否失控。当失控时,可以确定存在裂纹。
本公开实施例提供一种显示面板及显示装置,可以有效提高检测到裂纹的概率。
图3~图5是根据本公开实施例示出的一种显示面板31。该显示面板31包括非显示区32、显示区33以及金属线34。
如图3~图5所示,非显示区32位于所述显示区33的外周,环绕显示区33设置。金属线34位于所述非显示区32。所述金属线34包括往复弯折区段A。在所述往复弯折区段A内,所述金属线34的多个线段中的至少两个线段在延伸方向上的延伸线相交。例如,线段421沿第一方向X延伸,线段422沿第二方向Y延伸。线段421在延伸方向上的延伸线与线段422在延伸方向上的延伸线相交。线段421可以用于检测沿第二方向Y延伸的裂纹,线段422可以用于检测沿第一方向X延伸的裂纹。如果只设置沿第二方向Y延伸的金属线段,则可能会漏检沿第二方向Y延伸的裂纹。因此,与在金属线34上设置单一延伸方向的金属线段相比,在金属线34上设置不同延伸方向的金属线段,可以有效地检测出金属线被裂纹截断的事件发生,进而,可以有效提高检测到裂纹的概率,从而可以高效地检测出显示面板上是否存在裂纹。
本实施例中,由于在显示区外周的非显示区设置有包括至少一个往复弯折区段的金属线,且在该至少一个往复弯折区段中的至少一个内,金属线的多个线段中的至少两个线段在延伸方向上的延伸线相交。这样,可以提高金属线被裂纹截断的概率,进而提高检测到裂纹的概率,实现了裂纹的有效检测,提高了裂纹检测的灵敏度,从而可以高效地检测出显示面板上是否存在裂纹。
在一个实施例中,如图4所示,所述往复弯折区段A可包括第一子区段41与第二子区段42。所述第一子区段41与所述第二子区段42串联。在所述第一子区段41中,包括多个沿第一方向X延伸的线段411与多个沿第二方向Y延伸的线段412,其中,沿第一方向X延伸的线段411的长度小于沿第二方向Y延伸的线段412的长度,且多个沿第二方向Y延伸的线段412沿第一方向X依次排列。在所述第二子区段42中,包括多个沿第一方向X延伸的线段421与多个沿第二方向Y延伸的线段422。沿第二方向Y延伸的线段422的长度小于沿第一方向X延伸的线段421的长度。多个沿第一方向X延伸的线段421沿第二方向Y依次排列。所述第一方向X与所述第二方向Y相交。进一步地,所述第一方向X与所述第二方向Y垂直。由于在第一子区段41内在第二方向 Y上延伸的多个线段412较长,且沿第一方向X依次排列,因此,可以提高检测到沿第一方向X延伸的裂纹的概率,同理,第二子区段42可以提高检测沿第二方向Y延伸的裂纹的概率。综上所述,本实施例的技术方案可以有效提高检测到显示面板上在两个维度上延伸的裂纹的概率。
在一个实施例中,金属线34的所述多个线段可分为多个金属线段组,每个金属线段组内的线段的延伸方向平行;不同的金属线段组内的线段的延伸方向相交。其中,金属线段组的延伸方向为金属线段组内线段的延伸方向。在一个示例性实施例中,如图4所示,所述多个线段组可为第一金属线段组L1与第二金属线段组L2。所述第一金属线段组L1的延伸方向与第二金属线段组L2的延伸方向垂直。第一金属线段组L1可包括线段411与线段421,线段411与线段421的延伸方向为第一方向X。所述第二金属线段组L2可包括线段412与线段422,线段412与线段422的延伸方向为第二方向Y。
在一个实施例中,不同金属线段组的线段交替排布并且首尾顺次相连。如图4所示,继续上述的示例性实施例,第一金属线段组L1内的线段与第二金属线段组L2内的线段交替排布并且首尾顺次相连。具体地,在第一子区段41中,第一金属线段组L1中的线段411与第二金属线段组L2中的线段412交替排布并且首尾顺次相连。在第二子区段42中,第一金属线段组L1中的线段421与第二金属线段组L2中的线段422交替排布并且首尾顺次相连。
在一个实施例中,如图3所示,所述往复弯折区段A的数目可为多个,并且依次串联。在一个示例中,多个所述往复弯折区段A可在所述金属线34上均匀分布。这样,可以对显示面板边缘多处的裂纹进行检测。而且,当检测结果为显示面板上存在裂纹时,可以通过定位存在断点的往复弯折区段来定位裂纹。又由于多个往复弯折区段在金属线上均匀分布,因此,有利于定位存在断点的往复弯折区段。综上所述,多个往复弯折区段在金属线上均匀分布,有利于在检测到裂纹时及时定位裂纹,提高检测效率。
在一个实施例中,所述往复弯折区段A的位置可与所述非显示区32远离所述显示区33的侧边的等分位置相对应。例如,如图3所示,侧边B为所述非显示区32远离所述显示区33的一条侧边,往复弯折区段A的位置可与侧边B的五等分位置相对应,也可以与侧边B的三等分位置相对应。这样,有利于在检测到裂纹时及时定位裂纹,提高检测效率。
在实际应用时,往复弯折区段A的位置也可与所述非显示区32远离所述显示区33的侧边的等分位置不对应。
在一个实施例中,所述多个线段的宽度可相同。例如,如图4所示,线段411、412、421、422的宽度w可相同。在一个示例中,线段的宽度范围可以为2微米~4微米。这样,可便于制备金属线。
在一个实施例中,在同一往复弯折区段内的同一金属线段组中,相邻线段之间的距离大于或者等于所述线段的宽度。例如,在同一往复弯折区段A内的第一金属线段组L1中,相邻的线段411之间的距离大于或者等于线段411的宽度,相邻的线段421之间的距离大于或者等于线段421的宽度。这样,既便于制备,减小工艺难度,也可以减小相邻金属线段之间的相互影响,提高裂纹检测的准确性。
在一个实施例中,所述多个线段组为第一金属线段组L1与第三金属线段组(未示出);所述第一金属线段组L1在延伸方向上的延伸线与第三金属线段组在延伸方向上的延伸线相交,且夹角为第一夹角。为避免内容冗余,下面以第二子区段42为例进行说明。
如图6所示,在所述第二子区段42中,第一金属线段组L1中的线段421与第三金属线段组中的线段423交替排布并且首尾顺次相连。线段421沿所述第一方向X延伸,所述第一方向X可以为由所述显示区33的第一侧边a指向第二侧边c的方向,所述第一侧边a与所述第二侧边c相对,如图3所示。在本实施例中,第一方向X垂直于第一侧边a,也就是平行于显示区33的第三侧边b与第四侧边d。线段423的延伸方向与第一方向X之间的夹角为第一夹角。
在实际应用中,所述多个线段组可被分为三个金属线段组或者三个以上的金属线段组。在一个实施例中,所述多个线段组可为第一金属线段组L1、第三金属线段组(未示出)以及第四金属线段组(未示出)。所述第一金属线段组L1的延伸方向与第三金属线段组的延伸方向相交,且夹角为第一夹角,所述第一金属线段组L1的延伸方向与第四金属线段组的延伸方向相交,且夹角为第二夹角。为避免内容冗余,下面以第二子区段42为例进行说明。
如图7所示,在所述第二子区段42中,第一金属线段组L1中的线段421、第三金属线段组中的线段423以及第四金属线段组中的线段424交替排布并且首尾顺次相连。
在一个实施例中,如图3所示,金属线34可环绕所述显示区33设置。其中,可在显示区33的第一侧边a、第二侧边c、第三侧边b对应的非显示区32设置所述金属线34。第一侧边a、第二侧边c、第三侧边b各自对应的非显示区32内可以分别设置多个 往复弯折区段A。金属线34的两个端点35、36可同位于所述显示区33的第四侧边d的一侧。
在本公开实施例中,如图3~图4所示,所述金属线34包括多个线段;所述多个线段之间依次串联。具体地,金属线34可包括多个依次串联的往复弯折区段,每个往复弯折区段内的线段也依次串联。在本实施例中,不但金属线布线简单,易于制备,而且,使得裂纹检测结果简单,有利于提高裂纹检测的正确率,避免因检测结果复杂引入的误判。
在一个实施例中,所述金属线34的材料可为钼。当在显示面板上制备的金属线的材料为钼时,这种材料的金属线容易随着显示面板产生裂纹而发生裂纹,因此,可以提高裂纹检测的准确性。
在一个实施例中,显示面板31可包括多层无机层,金属线34可设置在最下层的无机层与最上层的无机层之间的任意一侧无机层上。
在一个实施例中,显示面板31还包括:驱动芯片(未示出)。所述驱动芯片包括高电平引脚,所述金属线34的两个端点35、36与所述高电平引脚电连接。一方面,金属线的端点引脚悬空后,由于天线效应,会吸引周围的电荷,对显示面板造成静电击伤;因此,金属线的端点连接在驱动芯片的高电平引脚上,可以避免天线效应,防止在金属线的端点处电荷积累击伤显示面板。另一方面,显示面板处于各种电信号比较复杂的环境中,外界电信号会对显示面板内的电信号产生干扰。因此,金属线的端点连接在驱动芯片的高电平引脚上后,外界电信号遇到金属线上的恒压高电平信号会被中和,外界电信号会融合到恒压高电平信号中去,呈现高电平的电压,显示面板内的电路环境会变得相对安静。所以,金属线的端点连接在驱动芯片的高电平引脚上后,可以为显示面板内相应的电信号提供相对安静的信号环境,防止外部电信号干扰。
当检测上述显示面板31上的裂纹时,可以通过检测金属线34的电阻值来检测显示面板上是否存在裂纹。具体地,可以在对显示面板进行切割或者进行可靠性测试前,将两个端点35、36分别接入万用表,检测金属线34的电阻值,作为参考电阻值。在对显示面板进行切割后或者在进行可靠性测试后,可以再次将两个端点35、36分别接入万用表,检测金属线34的电阻值,作为测试电阻值。当测试电阻值与参考电阻值相同时,表示金属线上不存在断点,显示面板上不存在裂纹。当测试电阻值比参考电阻值大,且测试电阻值与参考电阻值的差值大于预设阈值,但小于无穷大时,表示金属线未完全断裂,显示面板上存在细小裂纹。当测试电阻值为无穷大(比如测试电阻值为1MΩ)时, 表示金属线完全断裂,显示面板上存在裂纹。
在本公开中,虽然往复弯折区段A的数目可以为多个,但是,往复弯折区段A的具体数目还需要根据检测机台的检测极限设置,因为,如果往复弯折区段A的数目过多,会导致金属线的电阻值过大,进而导致不能实现裂纹检测的目的,或者导致检测结果不准确。
本公开的实施例还提出了一种显示装置,包括显示模组,还包括上述任一实施例所述的显示面板。
在一个实施例中,显示装置可以是LTPS(Low Temperature Poly-silicon,低温多晶硅)柔性屏,但不限于此。
本实施例中,由于在显示区外周的非显示区设置包括往复弯折区段的金属线,且在往复弯折区段内,金属线的多个线段中的至少两个的延伸方向相交,这样,可以提高金属线被裂纹截断的概率,进而提高检测到裂纹的概率,从而可以高效地检测出显示面板上是否存在裂纹。
本公开实施例提供的显示装置,不仅可以在生产或可靠性测试中进行裂纹检测,即使在形成产品后也可以进行裂纹检测,实用性强。
本实施例中的显示装置可以为:电子纸、手机、平板电脑、电视机、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
在本公开的附图中,为了图示的清晰可能夸大了层和区域的尺寸。当元件或层被称为在另一元件或层“上”时,它可以直接在其他元件上,或者可以存在中间的层。另外,当元件或层被称为在另一元件或层“下”时,它可以直接在其他元件下,或者可以存在一个以上的中间的层或元件。另外,当层或元件被称为在两层或两个元件“之间”时,它可以为两层或两个元件之间唯一的层,或还可以存在一个以上的中间层或元件。通篇相似的参考标记指示相似的元件。
