具体实施方式
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
相关技术中,显示面板是在显示模组制备完成后,将柔性电路板绑定在显示模组上得到的。为了保证制备得到的显示面板的良率,需要在绑定柔性电路板之前对显示模组进行性能测试,如触控性能测试或显示性能测试。为了测试显示模组的性能,需要在制备显示模组的过程中,预留测试接口和测试电路。其中,测试接口和测试电路连接,测试电路通过连接走线和显示模组中用于与柔性电路板绑定的一个绑定接口连接。测试设备依次通过测试接口,测试电路以及连接走线为显示模组中的绑定接口提供测试信号,实现对显示模组性能的测试。在测试完成后,需要采用切割设备沿着切割道将测试接口切除,切割道位于连接走线上。
但是,在沿着切割道切割的过程中,连接走线容易因高温而产生碳化物质。碳化物质聚集在相邻的连接走线之间,容易导致相邻的连接走线短路,进而导致显示面板的良率较低。
显示模组在制备的过程中,会进行多次点亮去测试发生的各种性能上的不良。如果存在不良就可以不再进行显示模组的后续工艺,避免后续工艺中资材、人力以及产线的浪费。为了进行性能测试,需要在显示模组的外形外围增加测试接口(包括触控测试接口和显示测试接口)。这些测试接口需要绑定接口(绑定接口为后续和柔性电路板绑定的接口),测试完成后再把这些测试接口切割掉。
图1是相关技术中显示模组的局部示意图。参考图1,显示模组中绑定接口和连接走线的宽度相等。如此,参考图2,相邻的连接走线之间的距离较小,在模组切割的过程中,连接走线会因高温而产生碳化物质,该碳化物质会将相邻的连接走线连通,导致信号短路(short)而发生不良。
图3是本申请实施例提供的一种显示模组的俯视图。参考图3,该显示模组(module,MDL)100包括:衬底基板101,多个像素单元102,触控膜层(图3未示出),多个绑定接口(pin)103,以及多条连接走线104。
衬底基板101具有显示区域(可以称为AA区)101a以及围绕显示区域101a的周边区域101b。周边区域101b包括位于显示区域101a一侧的绑定区域101b1。
图4是本申请实施例提供的一种显示模组的局部示意图。结合图3和图4,多个像素单元102可以位于显示区域101a,多个像素单元102可以用于显示图像。触控膜层位于多个像素单元102远离衬底基板101的一侧,触控膜层至少包括触控电极。多个绑定接口103位于绑定区域101b1,且多个绑定接口103和触控膜层中的触控电极连接。连接走线104的第一端z1和绑定接口103连接,且连接走线104的第一目标部分z2的宽度h1小于绑定接口103的宽度h2。另外,相邻的连接走线104的第一目标部分z2之间的距离h3,大于相邻的绑定接口103之间的距离h4。
第一目标部分z2位于连接走线104的第一端z1远离显示区域101a的一侧,且第一目标部分z2远离显示区域101a的一端通过切割得到。
在本申请实施例中,参考图5,在切割得到连接走线104之前,测试电路以及测试接口可以位于绑定区域101b1远离显示区域101a的一侧。测设设备可以和测试接口连接,通过测试接口和测试电路为连接走线104提供测试信号,进而实现对显示模组100性能的测试。在测试完成后,需要采用切割设备沿着切割道将测试接口和测试电路切除,得到连接走线104。连接走线104中第一目标部分z2远离显示区域101a的一端即为切割设备沿着切割道切割得到的端部。
其中,连接走线104的第一目标部分z2的宽度小于绑定接口103的宽度,且相邻的连接走线104的第一目标部分z2之间的距离h3小于相邻的绑定接口103之间的距离h4,可以使得连接走线104的第一目标部分z2的宽度较小,确保相邻的第一目标部分z2之间的距离较大,避免相邻的连接走线104的第一目标部分z2短路。
在沿着切割道切割的过程中,即使连接走线104会因高温而产生碳化物质,但是相邻的连接走线104的第一目标部分z2之间的距离较大,因此切割所产生的碳化物质会聚集在一个较大的间距内。进一步的,碳化物质的总量不足以将该较大的间距填满,可以降低短路的风险。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供了一种显示模组,该显示模组包括衬底基板,位于衬底基板的显示区域的多个像素单元和触控膜层,以及位于衬底基板的绑定区域的多个绑定接口和多条连接走线。多个绑定接口和触控膜层中的触控电极连接,连接走线的第一端和绑定接口连接。连接走线中位于第一端远离显示区域的第一目标部分的宽度小于绑定接口的宽度,且相邻的连接走线的第一目 标部分之间的距离小于相邻的绑定接口之间的距离。由此,在切割得到连接走线时,即使连接走线会因切割时的高温而产生碳化物质,但相邻的连接走线的第一目标部分之间的距离较大,因此碳化物质并不能将相邻的连接走线的第一目标部分之间的间距填满,降低了相邻的连接走线短路的风险,进而提升了显示面板的良率。
在本申请实施例中,在测试阶段,测试设备需要通过测试接口,测试电路以及连接走线104为绑定接口103传输信号。如果连接走线104的第一目标部分z2的宽度太小,则会影响信号传输的可靠性,性能测试的效果也会较差。由此,可以设计连接走线104的第一目标部分z2的宽度大于或等于1.8μm(微米),如此可以保证信号传输的可靠性。
可选的,连接走线104的第一端z1的宽度大于连接走线104的第一目标部分z2的宽度。由此可以保证连接走线104的第一端z1和绑定接口103具有足够的连接面积,保证连接的可靠性。例如,连接走线104的第一端z1的宽度可以等于绑定接口103的宽度。
参考图4,连接走线104的第一目标部分z2的第一中轴线z21,以及连接走线104的第一端z1的第二中轴线z11均沿连接走线104的延伸方向延伸。也即是,第一中轴线z21和第二中轴线z11平行。
可选的,参考图4,第一中轴线z21和第二中轴线z11共线。也即是,连接走线104的第一目标部分z2可以位于连接走线104的第一端z1的中部。此种情况下,连接走线104的第一目标部分z2中沿其延伸方向的两个边界(z2a和z2b)相对于连接走线104的第一端z1均有内缩,且内缩尺寸相等。
示例的,连接走线104的第一目标部分z2具有相对的第一边界z2a和第二边界z2b。连接走线104的第一端z1具有相对的第三边界z1a和第四边界z1b。第一边界z2a,第二边界z2b,第三边界z1a和第四边界z1b均沿连接走线104的延伸方向延伸。
第一边界z2a相对于第二边界z2b更靠近第三边界z1a,第二边界z2b相对于第一边界z2a更靠近第四边界z1b。第一边界z2a和第三边界z1a沿目标方向M的距离m1,可以等于第二边界z2b和第四边界z1b沿目标方向M的距离m2。其中,目标方向M可以垂直于连接走线104的延伸方向。
可选的,参考图6和图7,第一边界z2a和第三边界z1a共线,且构成连接 走线104的公共边界。第二边界z2b相对于第四边界z1b更靠近公共边界。由此可以使得第二边界z2b和公共边界沿目标方向M的距离,小于第四边界z1b和公共边界沿目标方向M的距离。也即是,可以实现连接走线104的第一目标部分z2的宽度小于连接走线104的第一端z1的宽度。
可选的,多条连接走线104的公共边界可以位于同一侧,而另一侧中第一目标部分z2相对于第一端内缩。示例的,参考图6,多条连接走线104的公共边界均为连接走线104的右侧边界,而左侧边界中第一目标部分z2相对于第一端内缩。或者,参考图7,多条连接走线104的公共边界均为连接走线104的左侧边界,而右侧边界中第一目标部分z2相对于第一端内缩。
可选的,连接走线104的第一端z1的第三边界z1a和第四边界z1b,以及连接走线104的第一目标部分z2的第一边界z2a和第二边界z2b均可以为直线。
在本申请实施例中,参考图4,图6和图7,连接走线104还包括位于第一目标部分z2和连接走线104的第一端z1之间的过渡部分z3。过渡部分z3靠近连接走线104的第一端z1的宽度和连接走线104的第一端z1的宽度相等。过渡部分z3靠近第一目标部分z2的宽度和第一目标部分z2的宽度相等。过渡部分z3的宽度随着和第一端之间的距离的增大而减小。
也即是,连接走线104的第一目标部分z2相对于连接走线104的第一端z1的内缩设计可以是在过渡部分z3处逐渐变化的。由此可以避免应力集中和静电集中,提高连接走线104的可靠性。
可选的,参考图8和图9,过渡部分z3具有相对的第五边界z3a和第六边界z3b。第五边界z3a和第六边界z3b中的至少一个边界和连接走线104的延伸方向相交。
示例的,参考图8,连接走线104的第一目标部分z2相对于连接走线104的第一端z1呈现两侧均内缩的情况下,第五边界z3a以及第六边界z3b均和连接走线104的延伸方向Y相交。或者,参考图9,连接走线104的第一目标部分z2相对于连接走线104的第一端z1呈现单侧内缩的情况下,第五边界z3a可以和第一边界z2a以及第三边界z1a共同构成公共边界,第六边界z3b可以和连接走线104的延伸方向相交。
可选的,第五边界z3a和第六边界z3b均为直线,第五边界z3a以及第六边界z3b中和连接走线104的延伸方向相交的边界,与连接走线104的延伸方向 之间的夹角α为钝角。也即是,第五边界z3a以及第六边界z3b中和连接走线104的延伸方向相交的边界,与连接走线104的延伸方向之间的夹角大于90度。
示例的,在图8中,第五边界z3a以及第六边界z3b和连接走线104的延伸方向之间的夹角均为钝角。或者,在图9中,第六边界z3b和连接走线104的延伸方向之间的夹角为钝角。
可选的,第五边界z3a和第六边界z3b还可以为曲线或折线,本申请实施例对此不做限定。

需要说明的是,参考图10,触控电极S可以位于第一触控层1051和第二触控层1052。示例的,参考图11,触控电极S包括多个第一触控电极s1和多个第二触控电极s2。第一触控层1051和第二触控层1053中的其中一个触控层包括第一触控电极s1的主体电极s11,以及第二触控电极s2。第一触控层1051和第二触控层1052中的另一个触控层包括第一触控电极s1的桥接电极s12。主体电极s11和桥接电极s12通过触控绝缘层1052中的过孔电连接。
参考图11,多个第一触控电极s1沿第二方向Q排布,多个第二触控电极s2沿第一方向W排布。并且,第一触控电极s1的桥接电极s12位于和第二触控电极s2的正投影重叠的区域。其中,第一方向W可以为显示模组100的像素行方向,第二方向Q可以为显示模组100的像素列方向。
参考图12,假设第一触控层1051包括第一触控电极s1的桥接电极s12,第二触控层1053包括第一触控电极s1的主体电极s11以及第二触控电极s2。此种情况下,位于第二触控层1053的第一触控电极s1的主体电极s11通过触控绝缘层1052中的过孔连接。
可选的,第一触控电极s1和第二触控电极s2中的其中一个电极可以为发射(TX)电极,另一个电极可以为感应(RX)电极。
在显示模组100中,显示模组100还包括位于周边区域101b的触控驱动电路和触控检测电路。触控驱动电路可以和发射电极连接,用于为发射电极提供 触控驱动信号。触控检测电路可以和感应电极连接,用于从感应电极接收到发射电极和感应电极之间的感应信号。若用户的手指靠近显示模组100,则触控检测电路能够检测到用户的手指所在位置的感应信号发生变化,并可以将该感应信号发生变化的位置确定为触控位置。
在本申请实施例中,在测试阶段可以对显示模组的触控功能进行(touch panel,TP)测试。图13是图4沿AA’方向的截面图。参考图13,连接走线104和绑定接口103可以位于显示模组100的多个膜层中的不同膜层。例如,连接走线104位于显示模组100中的栅极层n4,绑定接口103可以位于显示模组100的第二触控层1053。
显示模组100还包括位于第一源漏极层n6的第一连接部106,以及位于第二源漏极层n8的第二连接部107,连接走线104的第一端z1通过第一连接部106和第二连接部107与绑定接口103连接。
具体的,连接走线104的第一端通过层间介电层n5中的过孔和第一连接部106连接,第一连接部106和第二连接部107通过第一平坦层n7中的过孔连接,第二连接部107通过第二平坦层n9,封装层n14以及触控绝缘层1052中的过孔连接。
在本申请实施例中,参考图14,连接走线104的第一目标部分z2可以包括沿连接走线104的延伸方向间隔设置的第一子走线1041和第二子走线1042。显示模组100还包括:开关晶体管T和信号传输线108。
其中,开关晶体管T包括栅极,第一极和第二极。第一极和第一子走线1041连接,第二极和第二子走线1042连接。栅极和信号传输线108连接。开关晶体管T用于在显示阶段接收来自信号传输线108提供的关闭信号,开关晶体管T用于在关闭信号的作用下处于关断状态。
此种情况下,由于开关晶体管T处于关断状态,因此可以阻止第一极和第二极之间进行信号传输。即使相邻的连接走线104的第一目标部分z2远离第一端的一侧短路(即第二子走线1042短路),也不会导致短路信号传输至连接走线104的第一端z1,可以避免不同的绑定接口103短路。
图15是图14沿BB’方向的截面图。参考图15,开关晶体管T包括位于有源层n2的有源图案n21。有源图案n21的第一端在衬底基板101上的正投影和第一子走线1041在衬底基板101上的正投影存在交叠,且有源图案n21的第一 端可以作为开关晶体管T的第一极通过栅极绝缘层n3中的第一过孔k1和第一子走线1041连接。有源图案n21的第二端在衬底基板101上的正投影和第二子走线1042在衬底基板101上的正投影存在交叠,有源图案n21的第二端可以作为开关晶体管T的第二极并通过栅极绝缘层n3中的第二过孔k2和第二子走线1042连接。
可选的,第一过孔k1的数量和第二过孔k2的数量均与连接走线104的第一目标部分z2的宽度负相关。也即是,第一目标部分z2的宽度越小,第一过孔k1的数量和第二过孔k2的数量越多;第一目标部分z2的宽度越大,第一过孔k1的数量和第二过孔k2的数量可以越少。
第一过孔k1是用于连接开关晶体管T的有源图案n21和第一子走线1041的过孔,为了保证有源图案n21和第一子走线1041连接的可靠性,需要使得有源图案n21和第一子走线1041之间具有一定的连接面积。如果第一目标部分z2的宽度较小,则可以通过设计较多数量的第一过孔k1来提高有源图案n21和第一子走线1041之间的连接面积。
第二过孔k2是用于连接开关晶体管T的有源图案n21和第二子走线1042的过孔,为了保证有源图案n21和第二子走线1042连接的可靠性,需要使得有源图案n21和第二子走线1042之间具有一定的连接面积。如果第一目标部分z2的宽度较小,则可以通过设计较多数量的第二过孔k2来提高有源图案n21和第二子走线1042之间的连接面积。
参考图15,显示模组100的栅极绝缘层n3中具有两个第一过孔k1和两个第二过孔k2,有源图案n21和第一子走线1041通过两个第一过孔k1连接,有源图案和第二子走线1042通过两个第二过孔k2连接。
开关晶体管T还包括位于栅极层n4的栅极图案n41,栅极图案n41在衬底基板101上的正投影和有源图案n21在衬底基板101上的正投影存在交叠。并且,栅极图案n41可以作为开关晶体管T的栅极并和信号传输线108连接。
假设信号传输线108为开关晶体管T的栅极提供开启信号,则开关晶体管T的第一极和第二极导通,来自开关晶体管T的第二极的信号可以传输至开关晶体管T的第一极,进而传输至绑定接口103。假设信号传输线108为开关晶体管T的栅极提供关断信号,则开关晶体管T的第一极和第二极之间信号断开,来自开关晶体管T的第二极的信号是无法传输至开关晶体管T的第一极的,也无 法传输至绑定接口103。
在测试阶段,测试设备需要通过测试接口,测试电路以及连接走线104为绑定接口103提供检测信号,因此需要使得信号导通。此种情况下,信号传输线108可以为开关晶体管T的栅极提供开启信号,以使得开关晶体管T处于开启状态,进而使得检测信号能够通过开关晶体管T传输至绑定接口103。
在测试阶段之后,需要采用切割设备沿切割道进行切割,而连接走线104会因切割时的高温而产生碳化物质,可能会导致相邻的连接走线104短路(例如相邻的连接走线104的第二子走线1042短路)。
因此在显示阶段,为了避免短路信号传输至绑定接口103,可以使得信号传输线108为开关晶体管T的栅极提供关断信号,以使得开关晶体管T处于关断状态。
参考图15,连接走线104位于显示模组100的栅极层n4,开关晶体管T的栅极图案n41也位于显示模组100的栅极层n4,且连接走线104的第一子走线1041以及第二子走线1042均和开关晶体管T的栅极图案n41具有间隙。并且,绑定接口103可以位于第二触控层1053,连接走线104的第一端z1通过第一连接部106和第二连接部107与绑定接口103连接。
可选的,由于第一源漏极层n6相对于栅极层n4而言,且电阻更小,更利用传输信号。因此可以使得信号传输线108位于第一源漏极层n6。信号传输线108在衬底基板101上的正投影和栅极图案n41在衬底基板101上的正投影存在交叠,且栅极图案n41通过第二栅极绝缘层n2中的第三过孔k3和信号传输线108连接。
进一步的,参考图14,开关晶体管T的栅极图案n41的宽度可以等于第一目标部分z2的宽度。为了保证信号传输线108和栅极图案n41连接的可靠性,需要使得信号传输线108和栅极图案n41之间具有一定的连接面积。如果栅极图案n41的宽度较小,则可以通过设计较多数量的第三过孔k3来提高栅极图案n41和信号传输线108之间的连接面积。
参考图14,显示模组100还包括信号传输接口109和信号传输连接走线110。其中,信号传输接口109可以和绑定接口103位于同层,如位于第二触控层1053。信号传输连接走线110可以和连接走线104位于同层,如位于栅极层n4。信号传输接口109和信号传输连接走线110可以通过第一连接部106和第二连接部 107连接。信号传输连接走线110远离信号传输接口109的一端还和信号传输线108连接。并且,由于信号传输连接走线110(栅极层n4)和信号传输线108(第一源漏极层n6)位于不同层,因此可以通过层间介电层n5中的第四过孔k4连接。
可选的,信号传输连接走线110中除了和信号传输接口109连接的端部之外,其他部分的宽度以及内缩设计可以和连接走线104相同。也即是信号传输连接走线110的宽度也较小,由此可以通过设计较多数量的第四过孔k4来提高信号传输连接走线110和信号传输线108之间的连接面积,提高连接的可靠性。
可选的,信号传输连接走线110的延伸方向可以和连接走线104的延伸方向平行,信号传输线108的延伸方向和多条连接走线104的排布方向平行。例如,多条连接走线104沿显示模组100的像素行方向排布,信号传输线108的延伸方向为像素行方向。
另外,有源图案n21的宽度也可以等于第一目标部分z2的宽度。本申请实施例对此不做限定。
需要说明的是,信号传输线108还可以位于第二源漏极层n8。此种情况下,信号传输线108可以通过层间介电层以及第二栅极绝缘层n2中的过孔和开关晶体管T的栅极图案n41连接。或者,信号传输线108还可以位于栅极层n4。此种情况下,沿目标方向M排布的多个开关晶体管T的栅极图案n41可以为一体结构,且该一体结构和第一子走线1041以及第二子走线1042间隔设置。
在本申请实施例中,参考图5,显示模组100还包括多条信号走线111,信号走线111的一端和绑定接口103连接,另一端和位于显示区域101a的触控电极连接。由此即可使得触控电极在测试阶段接收到触控测试信号。
可选的,信号走线111可以包括位于第一触控层的第一信号子走线,以及位于第二触控层的第二信号子走线。第一信号子走线和第二信号子走线通过触控绝缘层中的过孔连接。
需要说明的是,在测试阶段还可以对显示模组100的显示功能进行测试。此种情况下,显示模组100还包括包括多个显示绑定接口,多个显示连接走线,以及多个显示信号走线。例如参考图5,将图中的绑定接口103替换为显示绑定接口,将图中的连接走线替换为显示连接走线,将图中的信号走线替换为显示信号走线即可。
示例的,显示连接走线可以和显示绑定接口连接,且显示连接走线的设计可以和连接走线104相同。也即是,显示连接走线中靠近切割道的一部分的宽度小于显示绑定接口的宽度,且相邻的显示连接走线中靠近切割道的一部分之间的距离,大于相邻的显示绑定接口的距离。或者,显示连接走线中设计有开关晶体管,并使得开关晶体管在测试阶段处于开启状态,在显示阶段处于关断状态。
并且,显示信号走线的一端和显示绑定接口连接,另一端用于和像素单元连接。由此即可使得像素单元在测试阶段接收到显示测试信号。
可选的,显示连接走线可以位于栅极层,显示绑定接口可以位于第二触控层。显示信号走线可以包括位于第一栅极层的第一显示信号子走线,位于第一源漏极层的第二显示信号子走线,以及位于第二源漏极层的第三显示信号子走线。第一显示信号子走线和第二显示信号子走线通过第二栅极绝缘层中的过孔连接,第二显示信号子走线和第三显示信号子走线通过层间介电层中的过孔连接。
在本申请实施例中,显示模组可以为有机发光二极管(organic light emitting diode,OLED)搭载柔性多层on cell触控技术(flexible multi-layer on cell,FMLOC)得到的显示模组。此种显示模组更轻更薄便于适应折叠及卷曲产品。
参考图3可以看出,显示模组100还可以包括驱动集成电路(integrated circuit,IC)112。该驱动集成电路可以称为驱动芯片,驱动集成电路112可以和多个像素单元102以及绑定接口103连接,主要功能是用于控制来自柔性电路板为像素单元102提供的信号。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供了一种显示模组,该显示模组包括衬底基板,位于衬底基板的显示区域的多个像素单元和触控膜层,以及位于衬底基板的绑定区域的多个绑定接口和多条连接走线。多个绑定接口和触控膜层连接,连接走线的第一端和绑定接口连接。连接走线中位于第一端远离显示区域的第一目标部分的宽度小于绑定接口的宽度,且相邻的第一目标部分之间的距离小于相邻的绑定接口之间的距离。由此,在切割得到连接走线时,即使连接走线会因切割时的高温而产生碳化物质,但相邻的连接走线的第一目标部分之间的距离较大,因此碳化物质并不能将相邻的连接走线的第一目标部分的间距填满,降低了相邻的连接走线短路的风险,进而提升了显示面板的良率。
图16是本申请实施例提供的再一种显示模组的示意图。参考图16,该显示模组100包括:衬底基板101,多个像素单元102,触控膜层(图16未示出),多个绑定接口103,以及多条连接走线104。
参考图2,衬底基板101具有显示区域101a以及围绕显示区域101a的周边区域101b。周边区域101b包括位于显示区域101a一侧的绑定区域101b1。
结合图5,图11以及图16,多个像素单元102可以位于显示区域101a,多个像素单元102可以用于显示图像。触控膜层位于多个像素单元102远离衬底基板101的一侧,触控膜层至少包括触控电极。多个绑定接口103位于绑定区域101b1,且多个绑定接口103和触控膜层中的触控电极连接。连接走线104的第一端z1和绑定接口103连接。连接走线104的第一目标部分z2包括沿连接走线104的延伸方向间隔设置的第一子走线1041和第二子走线1042。第一目标部分z2位于连接走线104的第一端z1远离显示区域101a的一侧,且第一目标部分z2远离显示区域101a的一端通过切割得到。
在本申请实施例中,参考图5,在切割得到连接走线104之前,测试电路以及测试接口可以位于绑定区域101b1远离显示区域101a的一侧。测设设备可以和测试接口连接,通过测试接口和测试电路为连接走线104提供测试信号,进而实现对显示模组100性能的测试。在测试完成后,需要采用切割设备沿着切割道将测试接口和测试电路切除,得到连接走线104。连接走线104中第一目标部分z2远离显示区域101a的一端即为切割设备沿着切割道切割得到的端部。
显示模组100还包括:开关晶体管T以及信号传输线108。开关晶体管T包括栅极,第一极和第二极。第一极和第一子走线1041连接,第二极和第二子走线1042连接。栅极和信号传输线108连接,开关晶体管T用于在显示阶段接收来自信号传输线108提供的关闭信号,且在关闭信号的作用下处于关断状态。
在测试阶段,测试设备需要通过测试接口,测试电路以及连接走线104为绑定接口103提供检测信号,因此需要使得信号导通。此种情况下,信号传输线108可以为开关晶体管T的栅极提供开启信号,以使得开关晶体管T处于开启状态,进而使得检测信号能够通过开关晶体管T传输至绑定接口103。
在测试阶段之后,需要采用切割设备沿切割道进行切割,而连接走线104会因切割时的高温而产生碳化物质,可能会导致相邻的连接走线104中靠近切 割道的部分短路(例如相邻的连接走线104的第二子走线1042短路)。
因此在显示阶段,为了避免短路信号传输至绑定接口103,可以使得信号传输线108为开关晶体管T的栅极提供关断信号,以使得开关晶体管T处于关断状态。此种情况下,由于开关晶体管T处于关断状态,因此可以阻止第一极和第二极之间进行信号传输。即使相邻的连接走线104的第二子走线1042短路,也不会导致短路信号传输至连接走线104的第一端z1,可以避免不同的绑定接口103短路。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供了一种显示模组,该显示模组包括衬底基板,位于衬底基板的显示区域的多个像素单元和触控膜层,以及位于衬底基板的绑定区域的多个绑定接口和多条连接走线。多个绑定接口和触控膜层中的触控电极连接,连接走线的第一端和绑定接口连接。在切割得到连接走线时,即使连接走线因切割时的高温而产生碳化物质导致靠近切割道的第二子走线短路,但在显示阶段,连接走线的第一目标部分包括的第一子走线和第二子走线之间的开关晶体管处于关断状态。由此,可以避免短路信号传输至绑定接口,避免不同的绑定接口短路,进而提升了显示面板的良率。
参考图16,连接走线104中的各个位置的宽度相等。也即是,连接走线104的第一目标部分z2相对于第一端可以无需进行内缩设计。可选的,连接走线104的宽度可以等于绑定接口103的宽度。
图17是图16沿CC’方向的截面图。参考图17,连接走线104和绑定接口103可以位于显示模组100的多个膜层中的不同膜层。例如,参考图11,显示模组100包括依次层叠的缓冲层(buffer)n1,有源层(poly)n2,栅极绝缘层(gate insulator,GI)n3,栅极层(gate)n4,层间介电层(inter level dielectric,ILD)n5,第一源漏极层n6,第一平坦层(planarization layer,PLN)n7,第二源漏极层n8,第二平坦层n9,阳极层n10,像素界定层n11,发光层n1,2,阴极层n13以及封装层n14。触控膜层105包括第一触控层1051,触控绝缘层1052以及第二触控层1053。

参考图13,假设第一触控层1051包括第一触控电极s1的桥接电极s12,第二触控层1053包括第一触控电极s1的主体电极s11以及第二触控电极s2。此种情况下,位于第二触控层1053的第一触控电极s1的主体电极s11通过触控绝缘层1052中的过孔连接。
可选的,第一触控电极s1和第二触控电极s2中的其中一个电极可以为发射(TX)电极,另一个电极可以为感应(RX)电极。
在显示模组中,显示模组100还包括位于周边区域101b的触控驱动电路和 触控检测电路。触控驱动电路可以和发射电极连接,用于为发射电极提供触控驱动信号。触控检测电路可以和感应电极连接,用于从感应电极接收到发射电极和感应电极之间的感应信号。若用户的手指靠近显示模组,则触控检测电路能够检测到用户的手指所在位置的感应信号发生变化,并可以将该感应信号发生变化的位置确定为触控位置。
在本申请实施例中,在测试阶段可以对显示模组100的触控功能进行测试。参考图17,连接走线104位于显示模组100中的栅极层n4,绑定接口103可以位于显示模组100的第二触控层1053。显示模组100还包括位于第一源漏极层n6的第一连接部106,以及位于第二源漏极层n8的第二连接部107,连接走线104的第一端z1通过第一连接部106和第二连接部107与绑定接口103连接。
具体的,连接走线104的第一端通过层间介电层n5中的过孔和第一连接部106连接,第一连接部106和第二连接部107通过第一平坦层n7中的过孔连接,第二连接部107通过第二平坦层n9,封装层n14以及触控绝缘层1052中的过孔连接。
参考图17,开关晶体管T包括位于有源层n2的有源图案n21。有源图案n21的第一端在衬底基板101上的正投影和第一子走线1041在衬底基板101上的正投影存在交叠,且有源图案n21的第一端可以作为开关晶体管T的第一极通过栅极绝缘层n3中的第一过孔k1和第一子走线1041连接。有源图案n21的第二端在衬底基板101上的正投影和第二子走线1042在衬底基板101上的正投影存在交叠,有源图案n21的第二端可以作为开关晶体管T的第二极并通过栅极绝缘层n3中的第二过孔k2和第二子走线1042连接。
参考图17,显示模组100的栅极绝缘层n3中具有一个第一过孔k1和一个第二过孔k2。有源图案和第一子走线1041通过一个第一过孔k1连接,有源图案和第二子走线1042通过一个第二过孔k2连接。
开关晶体管T还包括位于栅极层n4的栅极图案n41,栅极图案n41在衬底基板101上的正投影和有源图案n21在衬底基板101上的正投影存在交叠。并且,栅极图案n41可以作为开关晶体管T的栅极并和信号传输线108连接。
假设信号传输线108为开关晶体管T的栅极提供开启信号,则开关晶体管T的第一极和第二极导通,来自开关晶体管T的第二极的信号可以传输至开关晶体管T的第一极,进而传输至绑定接口103。假设信号传输线108为开关晶体管 T的栅极提供关断信号,则开关晶体管T的第一极和第二极之间信号断开,来自开关晶体管T的第二极的信号是无法传输至开关晶体管T的第一极的,也无法传输至绑定接口103。
在测试阶段,测试设备需要通过测试接口,测试电路以及连接走线104为绑定接口103提供检测信号,因此需要使得信号导通。此种情况下,信号传输线108可以为开关晶体管T的栅极提供开启信号,以使得开关晶体管T处于开启状态,进而使得检测信号能够通过开关晶体管T传输至绑定接口103。
在测试阶段之后,需要采用切割设备沿切割道进行切割,而连接走线104会因切割时的高温而产生碳化物质,可能会导致相邻的连接走线104短路(例如相邻的连接走线104的第二子走线1042短路)。
因此在显示阶段,为了避免短路信号传输至绑定接口103,可以使得信号传输线108为开关晶体管T的栅极提供关断信号,以使得开关晶体管T处于关断状态。
参考图17,连接走线104位于显示模组100的栅极层n4,开关晶体管T的栅极图案n41也位于显示模组的栅极层n4,且连接走线104的第一子走线1041以及第二子走线1042均和开关晶体管T的栅极图案n41具有间隙。并且,绑定接口103可以位于第二触控层1053,连接走线104的第一端z1通过第一连接部106和第二连接部107与绑定接口103连接。
可选的,由于第一源漏极层n6相对于栅极层n4而言,且电阻更小,更利用传输信号。因此可以使得信号传输线108位于第一源漏极层n6。信号传输线108在衬底基板101上的正投影和栅极图案n41在衬底基板101上的正投影存在交叠,且栅极图案n41通过第二栅极绝缘层n2中的第三过孔k3和信号传输线108连接。
进一步的,参考图17,开关晶体管T的栅极图案n41的宽度可以等于第一目标部分z2的宽度。为了保证信号传输线108和栅极图案n41连接的可靠性,需要使得信号传输线108和栅极图案n41之间具有一定的连接面积。如果栅极图案n41的宽度较小,则可以通过设计较多数量的第三过孔k3来提高栅极图案n41和信号传输线108之间的连接面积。
参考图17,显示模组100还包括信号传输接口109和信号传输连接走线110。其中,信号传输接口109可以和绑定接口103位于同层,如位于第二触控层1053。 信号传输连接走线110可以和连接走线104位于同层,如位于栅极层n4。信号传输接口109和信号传输连接走线110可以通过第一连接部106和第二连接部107连接。信号传输连接走线110远离信号传输接口109的一端还和信号传输线108连接。并且,由于信号传输连接走线110(栅极层n4)和信号传输线108(第一源漏极层n6)位于不同层,因此可以通过层间介电层n5中的第四过孔k4连接。
可选的,信号传输连接走线110的宽度可以和连接走线104的宽度相同。图18是图16沿DD’方向的截面图。参考图18,有源图案n21的宽度可以和栅极图案n41的宽度相等。另外,有源图案n21的宽度可以等于第一目标部分z2的宽度。本申请实施例对此不做限定。
可选的,信号传输连接走线110的延伸方向可以和连接走线104的延伸方向平行,信号传输线108的延伸方向和多条连接走线104的排布方向平行。例如,多条连接走线104沿显示模组的像素行方向排布,信号传输线108的延伸方向为像素行方向。
需要说明的是,信号传输线108还可以位于第二源漏极层n8。此种情况下,信号传输线108可以通过层间介电层以及第二栅极绝缘层n2中的过孔和开关晶体管T的栅极图案n41连接。或者,信号传输线108还可以位于栅极层n4。此种情况下,沿目标方向M排布的多个开关晶体管T的栅极图案n41可以为一体结构,且该一体结构和第一子走线1041以及第二子走线1042间隔设置。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供了一种显示模组,该显示模组包括衬底基板,位于衬底基板的显示区域的多个像素单元和触控膜层,以及位于衬底基板的绑定区域的多个绑定接口和多条连接走线。多个绑定接口和触控膜层中的触控电极连接,连接走线的第一端和绑定接口连接。在切割得到连接走线时,即使连接走线因切割时的高温而产生碳化物质导致靠近切割道的第二子走线短路,但在显示阶段,连接走线的第一目标部分包括的第一子走线和第二子走线之间的开关晶体管处于关断状态。由此,可以避免短路信号传输至绑定接口,避免不同的绑定接口短路,进而提升了显示面板的良率。
图19是本申请实施例提供了一种显示模组的制备方法的流程图。该方法可以应用于制备上述实施例所提供的显示模组。参考图19,该方法包括:
步骤S101、获取初始显示模组。
在本申请实施例中,参考图20,初始显示模组100a包括:初始衬底基板101c,多个像素单元102,触控膜层(图20未示出),多个绑定接口103,多条初始连接走线104a,多个测试电路和多个测试接口。
参考图20,初始衬底基板101c具有显示区域101a以及围绕显示区域101a的周边区域101b,周边区域101b包括位于显示区域101a一侧的绑定区域101b1,以及位于绑定区域101b1远离显示区域101a的一侧的待切割区域101b2。
多个像素单元102位于显示区域101a,多个像素单元102用于显示图像。触控膜层位于多个像素单元102远离衬底基板101的一侧,触控膜层至少包括触控电极。多个绑定接口103位于绑定区域101b1,且多个绑定接口103和多触控膜层中的触控电极连接。初始连接走线104a的第一端z1和绑定接口103连接,初始连接走线104a的第一端z1和第一目标部分z2位于绑定区域101b1。多个测试电路,多个测试接口以及初始连接走线104a的第二端z3和第二目标部分z4位于待切割区域101b2。测试电路和初始连接走线104a的第二端z3连接,且和测试接口连接。
在本申请实施例中,初始显示模组100a可以为沿切割道切割之前的显示模组100。切割道可以位于初始连接走线104a的第一端z1和第二端z3之间。
步骤S102、测试设备依次通过测试接口,测试电路,初始连接走线以及绑定接口为触控电极提供检测信号,以对显示模组的触控性能进行测试。
在本申请实施例中,对于图21至图23所示的方案而言,测试设备可以直接通过测试接口,测试电路,初始连接走线104a以及绑定接口103为触控电极提供检测信号。对于图24和图25所示的方案而言,信号传输线108可以为开关晶体管T的栅极提供开启信号,开关晶体管T在开启信号的作用下处于开启状态。此种情况下,开关晶体管T的第二极和第一极导通。测试设备提供的信号可以从开关晶体管T的第二极传输至第一极,进而为触控电极提供检测信号。
步骤S103、采用切割设备沿初始连接走线的第一端和初始连接走线的第二端之间的切割道切割。
在本申请实施例中,沿着切割道切割后即可得到显示模组100。其中,切割之后可以将初始衬底基板101c的待切割区域101b2,测试电路,测试接口以及初始连接走线104a位于待切割区域101b2的部分切除。
其中,初始连接走线104a中未被切除的部分为显示模组100中的连接走线104。例如,切割道位于第一目标部分z2和第二目标部分之间,初始连接走线104a中未被切除的部分包括第一端z1和第一目标部分z2,被切除的部分包括第二端z3和第二目标部分z4。
可选的,在切割之前,第一目标部分z2和第二目标部分z4直接连接,且第一目标部分z2的宽度和第二目标部分z4的宽度相等。
参考图21至图24,第一目标部分z2的宽度和第二目标部分z4的宽度可以均小于绑定接口103的宽度。或者,参考图25,第一目标部分z2的宽度和第二目标部分z4的宽度可以等于绑定接口103的宽度。
可选的,第一目标部分z2的第一中轴线z21和第二目标部分z4的第三中轴线共线。例如,在图21所示的方案中,第一目标部分z2和第二目标部分z4沿其延伸方向的两个边界相对于初始连接走线104a的端部(第一端和第二端)均有内缩。在图22和图23所示的方案中,第一目标部分z2和第二目标部分z4沿其延伸方向的其中一个相对于初始连接走线104a的端部(第一端和第二端)存在内缩。
参考图20以及图21至图25,初始显示模组100a还包括:多条过渡走线。过渡走线的第一端和初始连接走线104a的第二端z3连接,过渡走线的第二端和测试电路连接。其中,过渡走线的宽度可以大于或等于初始连接走线104a的第二目标部分z4的宽度。过渡走线的宽度可以和绑定接口103的宽度相等,且大于初始连接走线104a的第二目标部分的宽度。由于切割道和过渡走线的距离较远,因此切割时的高温对过渡走线的影响较小。
参考图26,过渡走线可以位于初始显示模组100a的第一源漏极层n6,该过渡走线的第一端可以通过第二栅极绝缘层n2中的第五过孔k5和初始连接走线104a的第二端连接。其中图26示出了两个第五过孔k5。
综上所述,本申请实施例提供了一种显示模组的制备方法,该方法制备得到的显示模组包括衬底基板,位于衬底基板的显示区域的多个像素单元和触控膜层,以及位于衬底基板的绑定区域的多个绑定接口和多条连接走线。多个绑定接口和触控膜层中的触控电极连接,连接走线的第一端和绑定接口连接。
连接走线中位于第一端远离显示区域的第一目标部分的宽度小于绑定接口的宽度,且相邻的第一目标部分之间的距离小于相邻的绑定接口之间的距离。 由此,在切割得到连接走线时,即使连接走线会因切割时的高温而产生碳化物质,但碳化物质的总量不足以将相邻的连接走线的第一目标部分之间的间距填满,降低了相邻的连接走线短路的风险,进而提升了显示面板的良率。
或者,在切割得到连接走线时,即使连接走线因切割时的高温而产生碳化物质导致连接走线中靠近切割道的第二子走线短路,但在显示阶段,连接走线的第一目标部分包括的第一子走线和第二子走线之间的开关晶体管处于关断状态。由此,可以避免短路信号传输至绑定接口,避免不同的绑定接口短路,进而提升了显示面板的良率。
图27是本申请实施例提供的一种显示面板的结构示意图。参考图27,显示面板包括:柔性电路板(flexible printed circuit,FPC)200,以及如上述实施例所提供的显示模组100。显示模组100具有相对的显示侧a和非显示侧b。柔性电路板200包括位于显示侧a的多个信号接口201,多个信号接口201和显示模组100中多个绑定接口103对应连接。柔性电路板200的至少部分位于显示模组200的非显示侧b。
从图27可以看出,柔性电路板200的一部分位于显示模组100的显示侧a,用于和显示模组100进行绑定,另一部分从显示模组100的侧边弯折至显示模组100的非显示侧b。由此可以减小显示面板的边框的尺寸,便于实现窄边框的产品。
由于显示面板可以与前面实施例描述的显示模组具有基本相同的技术效果,因此,出于简洁的目的,此处不再重复描述显示面板的技术效果。
