在本申请的一个实施例中,如图1及图2所示,信号线修复模块10设置在第一信号线DL延伸方向的一端,便于与第一信号线DL电连接。一种可实现方式中,如图1所示,第一信号线DL的一端设置驱动芯片30,驱动芯片30通过柔性电路板002与主板003电连接,信号线修复模块10设置在第一信号线DL的另一端。在另一种实现方式中,如图2所示,第一信号线DL的一端绑定覆晶薄膜004,覆晶薄膜004的柔性线路板上设置驱动芯片30且覆晶薄膜004通过柔性电路板002与主板003电连接,信号线修复模块10设置在第一信号线DL的另一端。此外,驱动芯片30可以通过多路选择电路40为第一信号线DL提供信号,即驱动芯片30的一个端口对应多路选择电路40的一个输入端口,多路选择电路40的一个输入端口对应多个与第一信号线DL一一对应的输出端口。
信号线修复模块10与驱动芯片30/多路选择电路40设置在第一信号线DL的相对两端,则信号线修复模块10可以在不妨碍驱动芯片30为第一信号线DL提供信号的同时,对断线的第一信号线DL进行修复。

在本申请的一个实施例中,连接开关12可以为晶体管,则连接开关12的输入端及输出端可以分别为晶体管的源极和漏极,并且信号线修复模块10中的第一移位单元11的移位输出端OUT与晶体管的栅极电连接。
图4为本申请实施例提供的一种移位单元的等效电路图,图5为图4所示实施例提供的移位单元的一种时序图。下面结合图4及图5对本申请实施例中第一移位单元11的结构及工作过程进行举例说明。
如图4所示,第一移位单元11包括输出子单元11a及复位子单元11b,其中,输出子单元11a包括开启信号输入端IN、时钟信号输入端CLK;复位子单元11b包括复位控制信号输入端RET、复位信号输入端off。输出子单元11a用于在开启信号输入端IN的信号、时钟信号输入端CLK的信号的控制下,控制第一移位单元11的移位输出端OUT输出可以使连接开关12导通的使能信号。复位子单元11b用于在复位控制信号输入端RET信号、复位信号输入端off信号的控制下,控制第一移位单元11的移位输出端OUT输出复位信号,复位信号可以使连接开关12关闭。
其中,开启信号输入端IN、时钟信号输入端CLK、复位控制信号输入端RET及复位信号输入端off均与驱动芯片30电连接并从驱动芯片30处获得驱动第一移位单元11工作的信号。
如图4所示,输出子单元11a还包括第一晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2及第一电容C1。第一晶体管T1的栅极及源极均与开启信号输入端IN连接,漏极与第一电容C1的第一极板电连接;第二晶体管T2的栅极与第一电容C1的第一极板电连接,源极与 时钟信号输入端CLK电连接,漏极与移位输出端OUT电连接。第一电容C1的第二极板与移位输出端OUT电连接。如图4所示,复位子单元11b包括第三晶体管T3及第四晶体管T4。第三晶体管T3的栅极与复位控制信号输入端RET电连接,源极与复位信号输入端off电连接,漏极与电容的第一极板电连接;第四晶体管T4的栅极与复位控制信号输入端RET电连接,源极与复位信号输入端off电连接,漏极与移位输出端OUT电连接。
需要说明的是,图4、图5及以下阐述是以T1~T4为N型晶体管为例进行说明的,实际上,T1~T4也可以为P型晶体管。图5示意出了第一移位单元11的三个工作阶段。
在第一阶段P1,开启信号输入端IN接收有效信号,即高电平信号时,第一晶体管T1导通,且开启信号输入端IN接收的有效信号通过导通的第一晶体管T1传输至第一电容C1的第一极板;由于第二晶体管T2的栅极与第一电容C1的第一极板电连接,则第二晶体管T2导通且保持导通状态。此时,时钟信号输入端CLK所接收的脉冲信号为低电平信号或者非有效电平信号,则移位输出端OUT输出低电平信号或者非有效电平信号。
在第二阶段P2,由于第一电容C1的作用第二晶体管T2持续打开,时钟信号输入端CLK所接收的脉冲信号为有效信号,则移位输出端OUT输出使能信号。
在第三阶段P3,复位控制信号输入端RET接收有效信号,即高电平信号时,第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4打开。第三晶体管T3将复位信号输入端off接收的复位信号提供给第一电容C1的第一极板及第二晶体管T2的栅极,第二晶体管T2关断。第四晶体管T4将复位信号输入端off接收的复位信号提供给移位输出端OUT,对移位输出端OUT进行复位。
在本申请的一个实施例中,信号线修复模块10中第一移位单元组内包括的多级第一移位单元11依次级联。

如图3所示,信号线修复模块10所包括的级联的第一移位单元11中相邻两级的第一移位单元11的时钟信号输入端CLK连接不同的时钟信号线。如图3所示,信号线修复模块10中的多级第一移位单元11的时钟信号输入端CLK交替与第一时钟信号线CLK1和第二时钟信号线CLK2电连接,并且第一时钟信号线CLK1与第二时钟信 号线CLK2交替输出脉冲信号,则可以配合开启信号输入端IN接收的信号实现信号线修复模块10中级联的第一移位单元11依次输出使能信号。
如图3所示,信号线修复模块10所包括的第一移位单元11的复位信号输入端off可以均与同一条复位信号线电连接,并且复位信号线可以在信号线修复阶段持续传输复位信号。如与第一复位信号线OFF1电连接,并且第一复位信号线OFF1在信号线修复阶段持续输出复位信号。
图6为图3所示显示装置信号线修复阶段的一种时序图。下面结合图3及图6对本申请中信号线修复模块10的工作过程进行说明。如图3所示,信号线修复模块10中包括m级级联的第一移位单元11,分别为第一级第一移位单元111、第二级第一移位单元112、……、第n-1级第一移位单元11n-1、第n级移位单元11n、……、第m级第一移位单元11m,m为大于等于3的正整数。信号线修复模块10的一个连接开关组中包括m个连接开关12,分别为第一连接开关121、第二连接开关122、……、第n-1连接开关12n-1、第n连接开关12n、……、第m连接开关12m。其中,显示面板001的显示区AA可以包括m条第一信号线DL,分别为第一条第一信号线DL1、第二条第一信号线DL2、……、第n-1条第一信号线DLn-1、第n条第一信号线DLn、……、第m条第一信号线DLm。且一个连接开关组中的m个第一移位单元11的输入端分别与m条第一信号线DL电连接。假设第n条第一信号线DLn发生断线,信号线修复模块10对第n条第一信号线DLn修复的具体工作过程如下:
在时刻t1,信号线修复模块10中的第一级第一移位单元111的开启信号输入端IN接收第一起始信号线STV1传输的有效信号,随后与第一级第一移位单元111的时钟信号输入端CLK连接的第一时钟信号线CLK1传输使能信号,则第一级第一移位单元111的移位输出端OUT输出使能信号,第一级第一移位单元111的移位输出端OUT控制一个连接开关组中的第一连接开关121开启,则第一条第一信号线DL1与一条修复线DUM电连接;
在时刻t2,信号线修复模块10中的第二级第一移位单元112的开启信号输入端IN接收第一级第一移位单元111的移位输出端OUT输出的使能信号,随后与第二级第一移位单元112的时钟信号输入端CLK连接的第二时钟信号线CLK2传输有效信号,则第二级第一移位单元112的移位输出端OUT输出使能信号,第二级第一移位单元112的移位输出端OUT控制一个连接开关组中的第二连接开关122开启,则第二条第一信号线DL2与一条修复线DUM电连接。同时第一级第一移位单元111的复位控制信号输入端RET接收第二级第一移位单元112的移位输出端OUT输出的使能信号,则第一复位信号线OFF1传输的复位信号控制第一级第一移位单元111关断并且第一级第一移位单元111的移位输出端OUT复位,第一级第一移位单元111所控制的一个连接开关组中的第一连接开关121关断,第一条第一信号线DL1与修复线DUM断开连接;
依次类推,在时刻tn,信号线修复模块10中的第n级第一移位单元11n的开启信号输入端IN接收第n-1级第一移位单元111的移位输出端OUT输出的使能信号。随后与第n级第一移位单元11n的时钟信号输入端CLK连接的时钟信号线,例如第一时钟信号线CLK1传输有效信号,则第n级第一移位单元11n的移位输出端OUT输出使 能信号,第n级第一移位单元11n的移位输出端OUT控制一个连接开关组中的第n连接开关12n开启,则第n条第一信号线DLn与一条修复线DUM电连接。同时第n-1级第一移位单元11n-1的复位控制信号输入端RET接收第n级第一移位单元11n的移位输出端OUT输出的使能信号,则第一复位信号线OFF1传输的复位信号控制第n-1级第一移位单元11n-1关断并且第n-1级第一移位单元11n-1的移位输出端OUT复位,第n-1级第一移位单元11n-1所控制的一个连接开关组中的第n-1连接开关12n-1关断,第n-1条第一信号线DLn-1与修复线DUM断开连接;
在时刻tn,信号线修复模块10与第n级第一移位单元11n的时钟信号输入端CLK连接的时钟信号线,例如第一时钟信号线CLK1在信号线修复阶段及显示阶段保持传输使能信号,其他时钟信号线持续输出非使能信号,则第n级第一移位单元11n的移位输出端OUT持续输出使能信号,其他第一移位单元11持续关断。那么,第n条第一信号线DLn与一条修复线DUM持续电连接,因此,可以完成对该第n条第一信号线DLn的修复。
图7为本申请实施例提供的另一种显示装置的局部放大图,图8为图7所示显示装置信号线缺陷检测阶段的一种时序图。在一种实现方式中,至少一条修复线DUM可以复用为检测线DET,则复用为检测线的修复线在信号线缺陷检测阶段可以用于将第一信号线DL上的信号传输至驱动芯片30;并且复用为检测线DET的修复线DUM所对应的连接开关复用为检测开关组,则复用为检测开关组的连接开关组中的连接开关复用为检测开关。在信号线缺陷检测阶段,检测开关开启,其输出端所电连接的第一信号线DL上的信号传输至其输出端电连接复用为检测线DET的修复线DUM,进而将第一信号线DL上的信号通过复用为检测线DET的修复线DUM传输至驱动芯片30进行处理。
如图7所示,信号线修复模块10中还包括多个复位开关12’及第二复位信号线REF,第二复位信号线REF用从驱动芯片30获取复位信号并将复位信号传输至复用为检测线的修复线。复位开关12’的输入端与至少一条复用为检测线DET的修复线DUM电连接,输出端与第二复位信号线REF电连接。第二复位信号线REF接收并传输驱动芯片30输出的复位信号,则当复位开关12’导通时,复位开关12’的输入端电连接的修复线DUM上的信号被复位。复位开关12’可以为晶体管,复位开关12’的输入端和输出端分别为晶体管的源极和漏极、控制端为晶体管的栅极。
在本申请的一个实施例中,信号线修复模块10不仅可以对第一信号线DL进行修复,还可以对第一信号线DL的缺陷进行检测。也就是,信号线修复模块10在信号线缺陷检测阶段对第一信号线DL的缺陷进行检测,在信号线修复阶段对第一信号线DL进行修复。并且信号线缺陷检测阶段在信号线修复阶段之前进行,以为信号线修复阶段提供发生断线的第一信号线DL的位置。
在信号线缺陷检测阶段,一个第一移位单元11开启后复用为检测开关组的连接开关组中的对应的连接开关12导通,则该导通的连接开关12将其所电连接的第一信号线DL与一条检测线DET电连接,检测线DET将该第一信号线DL上的信号传输至驱动驱动芯片3030或主板003,驱动驱动芯片3030或主板003通过对该信号进行处理确定该第一信号线DL是否断线。例如,驱动驱动芯片3030或主板接收到该信号后, 将驱动驱动芯片3030提供给该第一信号线DL的信号与该信号进行比较,若两个信号不同则说明第一信号线DL存在缺陷,假设检测线DET传输给驱动驱动芯片3030或主板的信号为零电位则可判断该第一信号线DL存在断线问题。
需要说明的是,在本申请的一个实施例中,如图7所示,在信号线缺陷检测阶段,多级第一移位单元11也是依次开启,实现对第一信号线DL的依次检测。在对不同的第一信号线DL进行检测时,用于对第一信号线DL进行检测的检测线DET上的信号应该与所检测的第一信号线DL上的信号保持一致。那么,在对每一条第一信号线DL进行检测之后,可以对用于进行信号线缺陷检测的检测线DET上的信号进行复位。则一个复位开关12’可以与第一信号线DL一一对应设置,也就是,多个复位开关12’可以与复用为检测开关组的连接开关组中的多个连接开关12一一交替设置,在信号线缺陷检测阶段,多个复位开关12’可以依次开启并且一个复位开关12’可以在对应的一个连接开关12开启并关断后开启,即在对应的第一信号线DL完成检测后开启。
在本申请的一个实施例中,如图7所示,本申请实施例提供的信号线修复模块10还包括多个复位移位单元11’,多个复位移位单元11’与复位开关一一对应设置且可以依次输出使能信号。复位移位单元11’的移位输出端OUT与对应的一个复位开关12’的控制端电连接并且其移位输出端OUT输出的信号能控制复位开关12’导通或关断。在本申请实施例中,信号线修复模块10中的复位移位单元11’的移位输出端OUT依次输出使能信号,可以控制与多级复位移位单元11’分别电连接的复位开关12’依次导通。当完成对一条第一信号线DL的检测时,可以通过复位移位单元11’控制与该第一信号线DL对应的复位开关12’导通,进而使得用于对第一信号线DL进行检测的修复线DUM上的信号得以复位,以保证对下一第一信号线DL进行检测时修复线DUM上的信号准确性。复位移位单元11’的结构及工作原理可以与第一移位单元11相同,在此不再赘述。
在本实施例的一种实现方式中,如图7所示,信号线修复模块10中包括的多级复位移位单元11’与多级第一移位单元11中,复位移位单元11’与第一移位单元11依次交替设置且级联。其中,复位移位单元11’与第一移位单元11的级联方式相同与图3所示的多级第一移位单元11的级联方式相同,在此不再赘述。
图8为图7所示显示面板信号线缺陷检测阶段的一种时序图。下面结合图7及图8对本申请中信号线修复模块10的信号线缺陷检测阶段的工作过程进行说明。如图7所示,信号线修复模块10中包括m级第一移位单元11和m级复位移位单元11’,m级复位移位单元11’,分别为第一级复位移位单元111’、第二级复位移位单元112’、……、第n-1级复位移位单元11n-1’、第n级复位移位单元11n’、……、第m级复位移位单元11m’。信号线修复模块10在信号线缺陷检测阶段的具体工作过程如下:
在时刻t1,第一级第一移位单元111的开启信号输入端IN接收第一起始信号线STV1传输的使能信号,随后与第一级第一移位单元111的时钟信号输入端CLK连接的第一时钟信号线CLK1传输有效信号,则第一级第一移位单元111的移位输出端OUT输出使能信号,第一级第一移位单元111的移位输出端OUT控制第一连接开关121开启,第一条第一信号线DL1上的信号传输至检测线DET;
在时刻t2,第一级复位移位单元111’的开启信号输入端IN接收第一级第一移位单元111的移位输出端OUT输出的有效信号,随后与第一级复位移位单元111’的时钟信号输入端CLK连接的第二时钟信号线CLK2传输有效信号,则第一级复位移位单元111’的移位输出端OUT输出使能信号,控制第一级复位移位单元111’的移位输出端OUT所电连接的复位开关12’开启,第二复位信号线REF上传输的复位信号传输至检测线DET;同时第一级第一移位单元111的复位控制信号输入端RET接收第一级复位移位单元111’的移位输出端OUT输出的使能信号,则第一复位信号线OFF1传输的复位信号控制第一级第一移位单元111关断并且第一级第一移位单元111的移位输出端OUT复位,第一级第一移位单元111的移位输出端OUT所控制第一连接开关121关断,第一信号线DL1与检测线DET断开电连接;
在时刻t3,第二级第一移位单元112的开启信号输入端IN接收第一级复位移位单元111’的移位输出端OUT输出的使能信号,随后与第二级第一移位单元112的时钟信号输入端CLK连接的第一时钟信号线CLK1传输有效信号,则第二级第一移位单元112的移位输出端OUT输出使能信号,第二级第一移位单元112的移位输出端OUT所控制的第二连接开关122开启,第二条第一信号线DL2上的信号传输至检测线DET;同时第一级复位移位单元111’的复位控制信号输入端RET接收第二级第一移位单元112的移位输出端OUT输出的使能信号,则第一复位信号线OFF1传输的复位信号控制第一级复位移位单元111’关断并且第一级复位移位单元111’的移位输出端OUT复位,第一级复位移位单元111’的移位输出端OUT所电连接的复位开关12’关断,检测线DET与第二复位信号线REF断开连接;
在时刻t4,第二级复位移位单元112’的开启信号输入端IN接收第二级第一移位单元112的移位输出端OUT输出的有效信号,随后与第二级复位移位单元112’的时钟信号输入端CLK连接的第二时钟信号线CLK2传输有效信号,则第二级复位移位单元112’的移位输出端OUT输出使能信号,控制第二级复位移位单元112’的移位输出端OUT所电连接的复位开关12’开启,第二复位信号线REF上传输的复位信号传输至检测线DET;同时第二级第一移位单元112的复位控制信号输入端RET接收第二级复位移位单元112’的移位输出端OUT输出的使能信号,则第一复位信号线OFF1传输的复位信号控制第二级第一移位单元112关断并且第二级第一移位单元112的移位输出端OUT复位,第二级第一移位单元112的移位输出端OUT所控制的第二连接开关122关断,第二信号线DL2与检测线DET断开电连接;
依次类推,完成对所有第一信号线DL的缺陷检测。
图9为图7所示显示装置信号线修复阶段的一种时序图。仍然假设第n条第一信号线DLn发生断线,下面结合图7及图9对本申请中信号线修复模块10的信号线修复阶段的工作过程进行说明。
信号线修复模块10在信号线修复阶段的具体工作过程如图9所示,与图8所示的信号线检测阶段的不同之处在于,在时刻t2n-1,第n级第一移位单元11n的开启信号输入端IN接收第n-1级复位移位单元111’的移位输出端OUT输出的使能信号,随后与第n级第一移位单元11n的时钟信号输入端CLK连接的时钟信号线,例如第一时钟信号线CLK1传输有效信号,则第n级第一移位单元11n的移位输出端OUT输出使 能信号,第n级第一移位单元11n的移位输出端OUT所控制的一个连接开关组中的第n连接开关12n开启,第n条第一信号线DLn和一条修复线DUM电连接。且在该时刻,与第n级第一移位单元11n的时钟信号输入端CLK连接的时钟信号线,例如第一时钟信号线CLK1在信号线修复阶段及显示阶段保持传输有效信号,其他时钟信号线持续输出非有效信号,则第n级第一移位单元11n的移位输出端OUT持续输出使能信号,其他第一移位单元11持续关断。那么,第n条第一信号线DLn和一条修复线DUM持续电连接,完成对第n条第一信号线DLn的修复。
在本申请的一个实施例中,如图3及图7所示,信号线修复模块10包括一个连接开关组及一条修复线DUM,则第一移位单元11的移位输出端OUT与连接开关12的控制端电连接,当第一移位单元11的移位输出端OUT输出使能信号时则控制其连接开关12导通。
图10为本申请实施例提供的又一种显示装置的局部放大图,如图10所示,在本申请的一个实施例中,信号线修复模块10包括多个连接开关组及多条修复线DUM,多个连接开关组与多条修复线DUM一一对应。连接开关组中包括多个连接开关12,同一连接开关组中的多个连接开关12的输入端分别与不同的第一信号线DL电连接,同一连接开关组中的多个连接开关12的输出端与对应的一条修复线DUM电连接并且不同连接开关组中的连接开关12与不同的修复线DUM电连接。
当信号线修复模块包括多组连接开关组和多条修复线DUM时,信号线修复模块10中还包括与连接开关组一一对应的选择开关组、一一对应的选择信号线SEL及一一对应的存储电容组。
多条选择信号线SEL与多个选择开关组一一对应设置选择信号线SEL与对应的选择开关组中的多个选择开关13的控制端电连接。
存储电容组内包括多个存储电容C3,每一个存储电容组中的多个存储电容C3与对应的连接开关组中的多个连接开关12一一对应,且存储电容C3的第一极板与对应的连接开关12的控制端电连接。
选择开关组内包括多个选择开关13,每一个选择开关组中的多个选择开关13与对应的存储电容组中的多个存储电容C3一一对应,并且对应设置的选择开关组、存储电容组中,选择开关13的输出端与对应的存储电容C3的第二极板电连接,选择开关13的输入端与对应的第一移位单元11的移位输出端OUT电连接,选择开关13的控制端与对应的选择信号线SEL电连接,并且不同选择开关组中的选择开关13的控制端与不同的选择信号线SEL电连接。当一个选择开关13导通时,与该选择开关13电连接的第一移位单元11的移位输出端OUT输出的使能信号通过该选择开关13传输至与该选择开关13电连接的连接开关12的控制端,则在本申请的一种实现方式中,选择开关13可以为晶体管,晶体管的源极作为其输入端、漏极作为其输出端、栅极作为其控制端。
驱动芯片30向信号线修复模块10发送控制信号包括,向选择信号线SEL发送选择信号,则传输选择信号的选择信号线SEL所电连接的选择开关13开启,第一移位单元11输出的使能信号传输至对应的连接开关12的控制端,使对应的连接开关12开启。当多条第一信号线发生断线时,一条断线的第一信号线DL对应的第一移位单 元11输出使能信号时,其中一组选择开关组中对应的选择开关开启,则使能信号可以控制一组连接开关组中对应的连接开关开启,该断线的第一信号线DL可以与一条修复线DUM电连接;另一条断线的第一信号线DL对应的第一移位单元11输出使能信号时,另一组选择开关组中对应的选择开关开启,则使能信号可以控制另一组连接开关组中对应的连接开关开启,实现对该断线的第一信号线DL可以与另一条修复线DUM电连接。
具体地,假设多条第一信号线DL发生了断线,则多级第一移位单元11的移位输出端OUT依次输出的使能信号,当发生断线的一条第一信号线DL对应的那一级第一移位单元11输出使能信号时,将一个选择开关组中的选择开关13开启,则该级第一移位单元11输出的使能信号传输至存储电容,拉高或者拉低连接开关12的栅极的电位,进而控制连接开关12开启,根据上述对第一信号线DL的修复方式可以完成对一条第一信号线DL的修复,一条第一信号线DL修复完成后,将开启的选择开关13关闭,由于存储电容的存在,开启的连接开关12仍然开启;然后通过上述方法,将另一个选择开关组中的选择开关13开启,则可以实现对另一条第一信号线DL的修复。通过设置多组连接开关组、多条修复线、多组选择开关组及存储电容组,可以将多条断线的第一信号线DL与多条修复线DUM一一电连接,从而实现对多条第一信号线DL的修复。
图10为本申请实施例提供的又一种显示装置的局部放大图,下面结合图10对多条第一信号线DL的修复进行说明。需要说明的是,图10仅以信号线修复模组10可以对两条第一信号线DL进行修复进行说明,根据本申请的发明构思,信号线修复模组10中选择开关组、连接开关组及修复线的数量不同,则可以对不同数量的第一信号线DL进行修复。选择开关组、连接开关组及修复线的数量相同且与可修复的第一信号线DL的数量相同。
如图10所示,信号线修复模组10包括两个选择开关组,一个选择开关组中包括的多个选择开关为第一类选择开关13a,另一个选择开关组中包括的多个选择开关为第二类选择开关13b;信号线修复模组10包括两个连接开关组,一个连接开关组中包括的多个连接开关为第一类连接开关12a,另一个选择开关组中包括的多个连接开关为第二类连接开关12b;信号线修复模组10包括两条修复线DUM,分别为第一修复线DUM1和DUM2;信号线修复模组10包括两条选择信号线SEL,分别为第一选择信号线SEL1和第二选择信号线SEL2,信号线修复模组10包括两个存储电容组,一个存储电容组中包括的多个存储电容为第一类存储电容C2,另一个存储电容组中包括的多个存储电容为第二类存储电容C3。其中,第一类选择开关13a的控制端与第一选择信号线SEL1电连接,第二类选择开关13b的控制端与第二选择信号线SEL2电连接;第一类连接开关12a的输出端与第一修复线DUM1电连接,第二类连接开关12b的输出端与第二修复线DUM2电连接;一条第一信号线DL与一个第一类连接开关12a的输入端电连接并同时与一个第二类连接开关12b的输入端电连接;与同一条第一信号线DL电连接的第一类连接开关12a对应的第一类选择开关13a的输入端和第二类连接开关12b对应的第二类选择开关13b的输入端与同一个移位单元11的移位输出端电连接。
假设第n条第一信号线DLn和第n-1条第一信号线DLn-1均发生了断线,首先对其中一条第一信号线DL进行修复,然后再对另一条第一信号线DL进行修复。
例如先对第n条第一信号线DLn进行修复,当第n级第一移位单元11输出使能信号时,一条选择信号线SEL传输使能信号,一个选择开关组中的选择开关13全部开启,如第一选择信号线SEL1传输使能信号使得所有的第一类选择开关13a开启,则对应的一个存储电容组中所有第一类存储电容C2的第一极板与第一移位单元11的移位输出端OUT电连接,也就包括第n条第一信号线DLn与第一修复线DUM1电连接,则第n级第一移位单元11输出使能信号传输至对应的第一类存储电容C2,完成对第n条第一信号线DLn的修复,然后第一选择信号线SEL1传输关断信号使得所有的第一选择开关13a关断,但是由于第一类存储电容C2的存在,第n条第一信号线DLn对应的第一类连接开关12a仍然开启并保持对第n条第一信号线DLn的修复。
然后对第n-1条第一信号线DLn-1进行修复,当第n-1级第一移位单元输出使能信号时,另一条选择信号线SEL传输使能信号,则另一个选择开关组中的选择开关13全部开启,如第二选择信号线SEL2传输使能信号使得所有的第二类选择开关13b开启,则对应的另一个存储电容组中的所有的第二类存储电容C3的第一极板与第一移位单元11的移位输出端OUT电连接。与第n条第一信号线DLn与第一修复线DUM1电连接的原理相同,则第n-1条第一信号线DLn-1与第二修复线DUM2电连接,完成对第n-1条第一信号线DLn-1的修复,然后第二选择信号线SEL2传输关断信号使得所有的第二类选择开关13b关断,但是保持对第n-1条第一信号线DLn-1的修复。
需要说明的是,当信号线修复模块10中包括多个选择开关组、多个选择信号线SEL及多个存储电容组,在对第n条第一信号线DLn进行修复的过程中,选择信号线SEL传输信号使选择开关13开启的时间可以同时于或者略晚于第n级第一移位单元11输出使能信号的时间,避免对其他第一信号线DL进行误修复。
图11为本申请实施例提供的再一种显示装置的局部放大图。图11所示显示装置与图10所示显示装置的不同在于,信号线修复模块10还包括多级复位移位单元11’和多个复位开关12’,并且一条修复线DUM复用为检测线DET,即图11所示的信号线修复模块10即可以对多条第一信号线DL进行复位且可以进行信号线缺陷进行检测。
图11所示复位移位单元11’与第一移位单元11的级联方式与图7所示实施例相同,复位开关12’与复位移位单元11’及第二复位信号线REF的连接方式与图7所示实施例也相同。需要说明的是,图11所示信号线修复模块10对第一信号线DL的缺陷进行检测时,需要将复用为检测线DET的修复线DUM对应的连接开关12所对应的选择开关13开启,以保证第一移位单元11的移位输出端OUT输出的信号可以控制复用为检测线DET的修复线DUM所对应的连接开关12开启,接下来的信号线缺陷检测过程与图7所示实施例的检测过程相同。如图11所示,假设第二修复线DUM2复用为检测线DET,则在信号线缺陷检测阶段,首先将第二类选择开关13b开启,使得第一移位单元11的移位输出端OUT输出的使能信号可以传递至第二类存储电容C2,并控制第二类连接开关12b。
图11所示信号线修复模块10与图10所示信号线修复模块10在信号线修复阶段 的基本过程相同,区别点在于,复用为检测线DET的修复线DUM在其他修复线DUM完成对第一信号线DL进行修复后再开始对第一信号线DL进行修复,即复用为检测线DET的修复线DUM为对第一信号线DL进行修复的最后的选择。也就是,在信号线修复阶段,复用为检测线DET的修复线DUM与断线的第一信号线DL电连接且修复的时间晚于其他修复线DUM与断线的第一信号线DL电连接且修复的时间。在本申请的实施例中,在一个时间段可以依次对多条第一信号线DL进行修复。但是当多条第一信号线DL不是同时发生断线时,则需要在不同的时间段对不同的第一信号线DL进行缺陷检测并对检测出的新发生断线的第一信号线DL进行修复,因此复用为检测线DET的修复线DUM最后对第一信号线DL修复,可以保证其在不同时间段中其他修复线对第一信号线DL进行修复前对第一信号线DL进行缺陷检测。
如图11所示,第二修复线DUM2复用为检测线DET时,则在对第一信号线DL进行修复时,首先利用第一类选择开关13a、第一类连接开关12a、第一选择信号线SEL1及第一修复线DUM1对第一信号线DL进行修复;最后再利用第二类选择开关13b、第二类连接开关12b、第二选择信号线SEL2及第二修复线DUM2对第一信号线DL进行修复。
图12为本申请实施例提供的还一种显示装置的局部放大图。图12所示显示面板与图11所示显示面板的不同之处在于,所有的修复线DUM均复用为检测线DET,则可以利用一条检测线DET确定一次第一信号线DL的断线情况并利用该检测线DET所复用的修复线DUM对一条断线的第一信号线DL进行修复,然后再利用另一条检测线DET确定一次第一信号线DL的断线情况并利用该检测线DET所复用的修复线DUM对另一条断线的第一信号线DL进行修复。依次类推,所有的修复线DUM均用于对第一信号线DL进行修复。
如图12所示,第一修复线DUM1复用为检测线DET,且第二修复线DUM2也复用为检测线DET。则可以先利用复用第一修复线DUM1的检测线DET、第一选择信号线SEL1、第一类选择开关13a、第一类存储电容C2及第一类连接开关12a对所有的第一信号线DL进行检测并对确认断线的一条第一信号线DL进行修复;然后再利用复用第二修复线DUM2的检测线DET、第二选择信号线SEL2、第二类选择开关13b、第二类存储电容C3及第二类连接开关12b对所有的第一信号线DL进行检测并对确认断线的另一条第一信号线DL进行修复。
需要说明的是,当所有修复线DUM均复用为检测线DET时,复位开关12’与复位移位单元11’仍然一一对应设置,并且复位移位单元11’与第一移位单元11一一交替设置,则一个复位开关12’的输出端可以与多条复用为检测线DET的修复线电连接。
图13为本申请实施例提供的又一种显示装置的局部放大图。如图13所示,显示装置的显示面板001中非显示区BB还设置有信号线缺陷检测模块20,信号线缺陷检测模块20与第一信号线DL电连接,用于对第一信号线DL进行缺陷检测。
信号线缺陷检测模块20包括检测线DET、第二复位信号线REF、多个检测开关22、多个复位开关12’、多个第二移位单元21及多个复位移位单元11’。图13所示实施例与图7、图11及图12所示实施例的不同之处在于,用于信号线缺陷检测的结 构为独立于信号线修复模块10的信号线缺陷检测模块20。
检测线DET用于接收第一信号线DL上的信号,并传输至驱动芯片30,由驱动芯片30判断某条第一信号线DL上的信号与参考信号是否一致,若结果为不一致,则判断该第一信号线DL存在缺陷,若某条第一信号线DL上的不存在信号,则判断第一信号线DL发生了断线。
第二复位信号线REF用于从驱动芯片30获取复位信号,并将该复位信号传输至检测线DET,对检测线DET上的信号进行复位。
多个检测开关22与多条第一信号线DL一一对应设置,且检测开关22的输入端与一条第一信号线DL电连接,输出端与检测线DET电连接,检测开关22开启时可以将其输入端所电连接的第一信号线DL上的信号传输至其输出端所电连接检测线DET上,则第一信号线DL上的信号可以通过检测线DET传输至驱动驱动芯片3030或主板003,通过对该信号进行处理,确认第一信号线DL是否存在缺陷。
复位开关12’的输出端与检测线DET电连接,输入端与第二复位信号线REF电连接,复位开关12’开启时,其输入端所电连接的复位线REF上传输的复位信号传输至检测线DET,可以将检测线DET上的信号进行复位。
检测开关22与第二移位单元21一一对应设置且第二移位单元21的移位输出端OUT与检测开关22的控制端电连接,复位开关12’与复位移位单元11’一一对应设置且复位移位单元11’的移位输出端OUT与复位开关12’的控制端电连接,并且第二移位单元21的移位输出端OUT输出的信号及复位移位单元11’的移位输出端OUT输出的信号分别用于控制其所电连接的检测开关22与复位开关12’的导通或关断。检测开关22可以为晶体管,检测开关22的源极为晶体管的源极、漏极为晶体管的漏极、栅极为晶体管的控制端。
由于一个检测开关22导通后,检测线DET上的信号为该检测开关22所电连接的第一信号线DL上的信号,为了保证对下一条第一信号线DL的检测准确度,需对检测线DET上的信号进行复位。因此,复位开关12’可以与检测开关22一一交替设置,并且复位开关11’在对应的检测开关22导通并关断后导通。
在本实施例中,第二移位单元21的结构可以与第一移位单元11的结构相同且工作原理相同。
如图13所示,信号线缺陷检测模块200所包括的第二移位单元21的复位信号输入端off可以均与同一条复位信号线电连接,并且复位信号线可以在信号线修复阶段持续传输复位信号。如与第二复位信号线OFF2电连接,并且第二复位信号线OFF2在信号线修复阶段持续输出复位信号。
为了实现对各第一信号线DL的依次检测,则各第一信号线DL上的信号应该依次由检测线DET传输至驱动驱动芯片3030或主板004,则第二移位单元21应该依次开启,使得对应的检测开关22顺序导通。对应地,复位移位单元11’也应该依次开启,使得对应的复位开关12’顺序导通。
在本申请的一个实施例中,第二移位单元21与复位移位单元11’依次交替设置且级联,即第二移位单元21与复位移位单元11’级联的方式可以与图7、图11及图12所示实施例中第一移位单元11与复位移位单元11’的级联方式相同。第一移位单 元11的级联方式相同,并且第一级第二移位单元21的开启信号输入端IN与起始信号线,例如第二起始信号线STV2电连接,第二起始信号线STV2为第一级第二移位单元21的开启信号输入端IN提供使能信号。级联的第二移位单元21与复位移位单元11’中,相邻的第二移位单元21与复位移位单元11’的时钟信号输入端CLK连接不同的时钟信号线。如图13所示,第二移位单元21及复位移位单元11’的时钟信号输入端CLK交替与第三时钟信号线CLK3和第四时钟信号线CLK4电连接,并且第三时钟信号线CLK3与第四时钟信号线CLK4交替输出脉冲信号,则可以配合开启信号输入端IN接收的信号实现级联的的第二移位单元21与复位移位单元11’依次输出使能信号。则一个第二移位单元21输出使能信号后,完成对一条第一信号线DL的检测;随后第二移位单元21关断且与其级联并相邻的复位移位单元11’输出使能信号,完成对检测线DET的复位,且上一级第二移位单元21关断;下一级第二移位单元21输出使能信号,完成对另一条第一信号线DL的检测;……;如此重复完成对所有第一信号线DL的检测。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,第二移位单元21依次级联且复位移位单元11’依次级联。则一个第二移位单元21输出使能信号后,完成对一条第一信号线DL的检测,随后该级第二移位单元21关断且复位移位单元11’输出使能信号,完成对检测线DET的复位;随后与上一个第二移位单元21级联且相邻的第二移位单元21输出使能信号,完成对一条第一信号线DL的检测;……;如此重复完成对所有第一信号线DL的检测。
在本申请实施例中,对第一信号线DL的缺陷检测无需借助检测软件或者显微镜等检测设备,能够降低检测成本,提高检测效率。
显示装置的工作阶段还包括信号线缺陷检测阶段,在信号线缺陷检测阶段,信号线缺陷检测模块20工作并定位存在缺陷的第一信号线DL。当检测到存在断线缺陷的第一信号线DL时,则可以启动信号线修复模块10,信号线修复模块10对第一信号线DL修复的工作过程与上述任意一个实施例相同,完成对发生断线的第一信号线DL的修复。
本申请实施例还提供一种驱动芯片,能够用于对本申请实施例提供的显示面板进行信号线修复的控制,图14为本申请实施例提供的驱动芯片的结构示意图。如图14所示,驱动芯片包括控制单元311和输入输出单元312。
驱动芯片在确定存在断线的第一信号线时,提供控制信号,使得断线的第一信号线与信号线修复模块10中的修复线DUM电导通。其中,提供控制信号,使得断线的第一信号线与信号线修复模块10中的修复线DUM电导通包括:控制单元311指示输入输出单元312向信号线修复模块10的多级第一移位单元11发送控制信号,控制发生断线的第一信号线DL对应的第一移位单元11的移位输出端输出使能信号,使得以组连接开关组中对应的连接开关开启,使得断线的第一信号线DL与一条修复线DUM电导通。例如,向起始信号线提供使能信号、向复位信号线提供复位信号、向时钟信号线提供脉冲信号,向时钟信号线输出多个脉冲信号之后持续输出使能信号或非使能信号。
当信号线修复模块10包括一一对应的多条修复线、多组连接开关组、多组存储电 容组、多组选择开关组及多条选择信号线,芯片在确定存在断线的第一信号线DL时,控制单元311还用于指示输入输出单元312向多条选择信号线分别输出选择信号,以分别启动选择开关组进而分别启动连接开关组,进而分别控制断线的多条第一信号线DL与不同的修复线DUM电导通。
驱动芯片还提供信号给多个第一信号线DL,以控制子像素P0进行发光显示。
参考上述图1或图2的示意,图1或图2中驱动芯片为本申请图14实施例提供的驱动芯片30。
