在本实施例中,通过设置数据开关线102在开关晶体管101的有源层所在平面上的垂直投影与开关晶体管的有源层不交叠,即使数据开关线102上的电荷释放,也不会导致数据开关线102与数据线111短路,降低显示面板显示不良的风险,保证显示面板具有较高的显示效果。
可选地,参考图5,显示面板还包括与多个开关晶体管101一一对应的多条分支线201,每条分支线201的一端与数据开关线102电连接,另一端与开关晶体管101的栅极电极202电连接。
通过设置分支线201,使得数据开关线102的控制信号能够传输至开关晶体管101的栅极电极202,进而控制开关晶体管101的第一端与第二端之间导通,使得测试数据信号写入显示面板的数据线111,进而完成测试功能。
可选地,分支线201包括第一金属走线2011和第二金属走线2012,第一金属走线2011沿第一方向X延伸并与开关晶体管101的栅极电极202电连接;第二金属走线2012与第一金属走线2011电连接,第二金属走线2012沿第二方向Y延伸并与数据开关线102电连接;其中,第一方向X与第二方向Y垂直。
开关晶体管101的栅极电极202可沿第一方向X延伸,分支线201与栅极电极202可构成“L”字型结构,在多个开关晶体管101的有源层所在的区域, 多个栅极电极202等效于分成了多个小段,相对于栅极电极202为沿第一方向X贯通的金属走线的情况,能够减少长走线电荷的累积风险。同时,第二金属走线2012沿第二方向Y延伸,其在工艺制程中为垂直于基板运送的方向,可降低工艺累积的电荷在第二金属走线2012上累积的风险,从而防止数据开关线102与数据线111发生短路的风险。本实施例中,因数据开关线102短路而造成显示面板显示区中数据线111不良的不良率降低了99.5%以上,避免了显示不良。
可选地,图6为一实施例提供的沿图5中A5-A6方向的膜层剖面图,图7为一实施例提供的沿图5中A7-A8方向的膜层剖面图,结合图5至图7,分支线201与开关晶体管101的栅极电极202同层设置。这样设置,可降低分支线201与栅极电极202的连接难度,分支线201和栅极电极202可为同一金属走线。在本实施例中,开关晶体管101的栅极电极202与显示区AA中薄膜晶体管的栅极电极位于同一层,如图7中所示,可通过设置第四过孔2013实现第二金属走线2012与数据开关线102的电连接。
可选地,图8为一实施例提供的又一种显示面板的膜层结构示意图,参考图8,数据开关线102在开关晶体管101的有源层所在平面上的垂直投影与开关晶体管101的有源层交叠;显示面板还包括与有源层连接的过孔301,数据开关线102与过孔301沿第二方向Y的距离d大于4微米;其中,第二方向Y与第一方向X垂直。
过孔301可为开关晶体管101的有源层与其源极或漏极连接的过孔。数据开关线102上的电荷需要有高低电位差才能够释放,黄光及干刻工艺制程中在数据开关线102上产生的电荷与该过孔301制作工艺中的剥离工艺形成高低电位,从而释放出电荷。通过设置距离d大于4微米,降低电荷释放的风险,进而降低数据开关线102与数据线111短路的风险,降低显示面板显示不良的风险。本实施例中,因数据开关线102短路而造成显示面板显示区中数据线111不良的不良率降低了99.0%以上,提升了显示效果。在本实施例中,数据开关线102也可与显示区中薄膜晶体管的栅极电极同层设置,可根据实际情况进行设置,在此不做限定。
可选地,数据开关线102与过孔301沿第二方向Y的距离d可以大于或等于13微米,通过将距离d设置在此范围内,能够降低电荷释放的风险,使得数据开关线102短路的风险降低。本实施例中,因数据开关线102短路而造成显示面板显示区中数据线111不良的不良率降低了99.3%以上,提高了显示面板的显示效果。
数据开关线102与过孔301沿第二方向Y的距离d可以小于16微米,若所述的距离d过大,相应的开关晶体管101对应地有源层的面积也较大,由于开 关二极管101设置于非显示区NAA,这样将会增加非显示区NAA的宽度,进而导致显示面板的边框增加。而通过设置所述的距离d小于16微米,有利于显示面板实现窄边框。
可选地,参考图1,测试电路还包括测试焊盘401,数据开关线102与测试焊盘401电连接。
在显示面板需要进行测试时,可将测试设备与测试焊盘401电连接,进而向数据开关线102上输入控制信号,以控制相应的开关晶体管101导通或关断,方便后续将测试数据信号通过开关晶体管101写入到数据线111中。
可选地,数据开关线102的材料为Ti/Al/Ti(钛铝钛)。Ti/Al/Ti合金上电荷积累的风险较小,这样设置,可降低数据开关线102上电荷积累的风险,降低显示面板显示不良的风险,提升显示效果。
采用本公开的技术方案,数据开关线短路的风险降低,因数据开关线短路而造成显示面板显示区中数据线不良的不良率降低了99%以上,极大地提升了显示效果。
图9为一实施例提供的一种显示装置的结构示意图,参考图9,本实施例提供的显示装置包括上述任意实施例提供的显示面板,因此也具有相同的效果,在此不再赘述。显示装置可为手机、平板、显示器、智能手表、动态图像专家组音频层3(Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer 3,MP3)播放器、MP4播放器或者其他可穿戴设备等。
