具体实施方式
为使本公开实施例的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本公开实施例作进一步详细的说明。
图1示出了一种静电释放电路的原理图。如图1所示,静电释放电路可以包括两个TFT(薄膜晶体管)。其中,一个TFT的栅极连接至第一电压信号端VGH,主要用于释放数据信号线Dada上积聚的例如正电荷(定义为Part1)。另一个TFT的栅极连接数据信号线Dada,主要用于释放数据信号线Dada上积聚的负电荷(定义为Part2)。在例如6.47英寸全高清FHD显示面板中,在剥离上层保护膜(Top Protect Film,TPF)时,激光能量使单元测试区(Cell Test,CT)上方的ESD电路发生灼烧,从而引起AA区(显示区)出现亮线。通过对ESD电路灼烧情况的研究,发明人认为ESD电路中用于释放负电荷的电路连接部分灼烧严重,这是造成整个ESD灼烧的重要因素。发生灼烧的ESD电路部分位于CT单元上方,其在Panel上的位置分布如图2所示,其中Part2部分灼烧严重。此外,由图2可见,这种layout方案占据了panel下部分的空间,不利于空间的合理利用。
参照图3,示出了本公开一个实施例的一种静电释放电路。可以应用于显示面板, 所述显示面板包括AA显示区100和非显示区200。静电释放电路设置在非显示区200中。
图4是本公开一个实施例的一种静电释放电路的结构图。参考图4,静电释放电路可以包括第一电荷释放子电路201和第二电荷释放子电路202。
第一电荷释放子电路201设置在所述非显示区的第一子区域。第一电荷释放子电路201的第一端与数据信号线的布设于所述第一子区域中的第一信号输入端2011耦接,第一电荷释放子电路201的第二端与第一电压输入端耦接。第一电荷释放子电路201被配置为释放所述数据信号线上积聚的第一电荷。
第二电荷释放子电路202设置在所述非显示区的第二子区域。第二电荷释放子电路202的第一端与所述数据信号线的布设于第二子区域中的第二信号输入端2021耦接,第二电荷释放子电路202的第二端与第二电压输入端耦接。第二电荷释放子电路202被配置为释放数据信号线上积聚的第二电荷。
本公开实施例中,针对静电释放电路在释放静电时灼伤严重的情况,将静电释放电路设置为第一电荷释放子电路和第二电荷释放子电路。第一电荷释放子电路用于释放数据信号线上积聚的第一电荷,例如,第一电荷为正电荷。第二电荷释放子电路用于释放数据信号线上积聚的第二电荷,例如,第二电荷为负电荷。第一电荷释放子电路与第一信号输入端耦接,所述第二电荷释放子电路与第二信号输入端耦接。其中,所述第一信号输入端和第二信号输入端都与数据信号线耦接,以便释放数据信号线上积聚的电荷。
本公开实施例将第一电荷释放子电路和第二电荷释放子电路分别设置在所述非显示区的第一子区域中和第二子区域中。通过本公开实施例将所述第一电荷释放子电路和第二电荷释放子电路分开设置,不仅能保证静电电路的应有功能,同时能够实现电路空间的合理利用。
图5是本公开一个实施例的第一电荷释放子电路的电路图。参考图5,第一电荷释放子电路包括第一晶体管T1。第一晶体管T1的控制极及第一极均与第一电压输入端VGH耦接,第一晶体管T1的第二极与第一信号输入端2011耦接。第一电荷可以为正电荷,第一电压输入端可以为正电源电压输入端。
图6是本公开一个实施例的第二电荷释放子电路的电路图。参考图6,第二电荷释放子电路包括第二晶体管T2。第二晶体管T2的控制极及第一极均与第二信号输入端2021耦接,第二晶体管的第二极与第二电压输入端VGL耦接。第二电荷可以为负电荷, 第二电压输入端可以为负电源电压输入端。
第一晶体管T2的第二级与第一信号输入端2011耦接,第一信号输入端2011与数据信号线耦接。第一电压输入端为正电源电压输入端,第一晶体管通过与第一电压输入端耦接,释放数据信号线上积聚的正电荷。第二晶体管的第一级与第二信号输入端2021耦接,第二信号输入端2021与数据信号线耦接。第二电压输入端为负电源电压输入端,第二晶体管通过与第二电压输入端耦接,释放数据信号线上积聚的负电荷。
图7是本公开一个实施例的一种显示面板非显示区域的结构图。参考图7,非显示区的显示面板包括层叠设置的单元测试区701、扇出区702和多路选择开关区703。其中,第一电荷释放子电路201设置在扇出区702与单元测试区701之间,第二电荷释放子电路202设置在所述多路选择开关区703远离所述扇出区702的一侧。
本公开实施例,将第一电荷释放子电路201设置在扇出区702与单元测试区701之间。第一电荷释放子电路用于释放数据信号线上的正电荷,从而保证数据信号线不受正电荷的影响。将第二电荷释放子电路设置在多路选择开关区703背离扇出区702的一侧。第二电荷释放子电路用于释放数据信号线上的负电荷,从而保证数据信号线不受负电荷的影响。本公开实施例将静电释放电路设置为两个相对独立的部分,分别设置在非显示区的不同区域,能够有效避免因释放负电荷的第二电荷释放子电路发生灼烧而影响整个静电释放电路性能,从而在保证静电释放电路防护功能的前提下降低静电释放电路发生灼烧的概率,提高产品的良率,提高产品的显示效果。并且,基于此,第一电荷释放子电路和第二电荷释放子电路所占用的空间为原来静电释放电路占用空间的一半。在空间有限的情况下,这种分开设置的方式可以不仅可以有效降低静电释放电路发生灼伤的概率,还可以同时实现合理利用空间。
作为一种示例,图8是本公开一个实施例的另一种显示面板非显示区域的结构图。参考图8,非显示区的显示面板可以包括层叠设置的单元测试区701、扇出区702和多路选择开关区703。其中,第一电荷释放子电路201设置在扇出区702与单元测试区701之间,第二电荷释放202子电路设置在多路选择开关区703与扇出区702之间。
作为另一种示例,图9是本公开一个实施例的另一种显示面板非显示区域的结构图。
参考图9,非显示区的显示面板包括层叠设置的单元测试区701、扇出区702和多路选择开关区703。其中,第一电荷释放子电路201设置在扇出区702与单元测试区701之间,第二电荷释放子电路202设置在所述单元测试区701背离所述扇出区702的一侧。
作为另一种示例,图10是本公开一个实施例的另一种显示面板非显示区域的结构图。参考图10,所述非显示区的所述显示面板包括层叠设置单元测试区701、扇出区702和多路选择开关区703。
其中,第一电荷释放子电路201设置在单元测试区701远离扇出区702的一侧,第二电荷释放子电路202设置在扇出区702与多路选择开关区703之间。
在本公开实施例中,第一电荷释放子电路201和第二电荷释放子电路202可以任意放置在单元测试区701、扇出区702、多路选择开关区703之间或者一侧。可以理解,本公开实施例只对第一电荷释放子电路201和第二电荷释放子电路202不设置在同一区域作限制,而不对具体放置在哪两个区域进行限制。
本公开实施例还提供了一种显示面板。图11是本公开另一实施例的多个静电释放电路的布局结构图。参考图11,显示面板110可以包括多个的静电释放电路;各静电释放电路分别与多个数据信号线Data1、Data2、…DataN之一耦接。
本公开实施例中,各静电释放电路都包括用于释放正电荷的第一静电释放子电路和用于释放负电荷的第二静电释放子电路。
本公开实施例将静电释放电路中的第一电荷释放子电路和第二电荷释放子电路分开设置,分别设置在非显示区的第一子区域中和第二子区域中。本公开实施例将所述第一电荷释放子电路和第二电荷释放子电路分开放置不仅能保证静电电路的应有功能,提高良品率,而且还能够实现电路空间的合理利用。
本公开实施例提供了一种显示装置,图12是本公开实施例的显示装置的示意图。如图12所示,显示装置120包括根据本公开实施例的显示面板121。
本公开实施例中,由于显示装置包括了根据本公开实施例的显示面板,而显示面板包括了根据本公开实施例的静电释放电路,故公开实施例同样具有能保证静电电路的应有功能,提高良品率,而且能够实现BP电路空间的合理利用。

在步骤S1301,在数据信号线上积聚的第一电荷满足第一条件时,向第一电压输入端输入第一电压信号,以便对数据信号线上积聚的第一电荷进行静电释放。
在步骤S1302,在数据信号线上积聚的第二电荷满足第二条件时,向第二电压输入端输入第二电压信号,以便对数据信号线上积聚的第二电荷进行静电释放。
本公开实施例中,当数据信号线上积聚的第一电荷满足第一条件时,向第一电荷释放子电路的第一电压输入端输入第一电压信号。例如,第一条件可以为:所述数据信号线上积聚正电荷的量大于第一阈值。其中第一阈值可根据具体的情况而定。例如:第一阈值为能够使静电释放电路产生灼烧的最低正电荷量。利用所述第一电压输入端输入的第一电压信号,对数据信号线上积聚的第一电荷进行静电释放。
当数据信号线上积聚的负电荷满足第二条件时,向所述第二电荷释放子电路的第二电压输入端输入第二电压信号。例如,第二条件可以为:数据信号线上积聚负电荷的量大于第二阈值。其中第二阈值可根据具体的情况而定。例如,所述第二阈值为能够使静电释放电路产生灼烧的最低负电荷的量。利用第二电压输入端输入的第二电压信号,对数据信号线上积聚的第二电荷进行静电释放。
