DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make objects, technical details and advantages of the embodiments of the disclosure apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments will be described in a clearly and fully understandable way in connection with the drawings related to the embodiments of the disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are just a part but not all of the embodiments of the disclosure. Based on the described embodiments herein, those skilled in the art can obtain other embodiment(s), without any inventive work, which should be within the scope of the disclosure.


Unless otherwise defined, all the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms “first,” “second,” etc., which are used in the description and the claims of the present application for disclosure, are not intended to indicate any sequence, amount or importance, but distinguish various components. Also, the terms such as “a,” “an,” etc., are not intended to limit the amount, but indicate the existence of at least one. The terms “comprise,” “comprising,” “include,” “including,” etc., are intended to specify that the elements or the objects stated before these terms encompass the elements or the objects and equivalents thereof listed after these terms, but do not preclude the other elements or objects. The phrases “connect”, “connected”, “coupled”, etc., are not intended to define a physical connection or mechanical connection, but may include an electrical connection, directly or indirectly. “On,” “under,” “right,” “left” and the like are only used to indicate relative position relationship, and when the position of the object which is described is changed, the relative position relationship may be changed accordingly.


When the manufacturing process of an active matrix display panel is completed, due to the influence of various factors such as process conditions, materials used, etc., movable stray electric charges exist inside the TFT device which acts as a driving component or a switch component, especially inside the active layer, and they can cause the electric leakage and tail-up phenomenon of the TFT, affecting the display quality of the display panel. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct the aging process to the display panel to adjust the stray electric charges inside the device, so as to alleviate the electric leakage and tail-up phenomenon of the TFT device.


An aging method of a display panel with TFT devices comprises applying a large gate bias to the TFT devices during the process of turning on the display panel, but this method is easy to burn the TFT devices, and also because of different voltage drops and manufacturing processes which are caused by different positions of the TFT devices, different materials used and the like, it is difficult to obtain a uniform aging effect all over the display panel, which still causes uneven luminescence of the display panel.


Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an aging device for a display panel and an aging method, and the aging device assists in achieving aging effect by providing an applied electric field for the display panel, which avoids the excessive bias burning TFT devices and allows the TFT devices at different positions to be uniformly aged, also easy to operate and to be implemented. The aging device and the aging method can be used for a flat display panel, a curved display panel and the like.

For example, the aging device 10 can further comprise a cavity 18, and the bearing device 11, the fixture 12, the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 are all disposed inside the cavity 18. The cavity 18 can be in various suitable shapes, comprising side walls, a top ceiling and the like to define an enclosed space, and side walls and the like can be made of a suitable material, such as plastic, glass, metal, etc. If necessary, a transparent window can be further provided for the operator to observe the circumstance inside the cavity 18.


For example, the aging device 10 can further comprise a control device 19, a signal source 191 and a power supply 192.

The driving method of the 2T1C pixel circuit is to allow the brightness and the darkness (gray scale) of the pixel to be controlled through two TFTs and the storage capacitor Cs. When the scanning signal Scan is applied through the gate line to turn on the switch transistor T1, the data voltage (Vdata) transmitted by the data driving circuit through the data line charges the storage capacitor Cs via the switch transistor T1, so as to store the data voltage in the storage capacitor Cs, and the stored data voltage controls the conduction degree of the driving transistor T2, so as to control the magnitude of the current that flows through the driving transistor T2 to drive the OLED to emit light, that is, the current determines the gray scale of the pixel illumination.

This aspect is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.


In the following, an aging method of the aging device 10 provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in connection with FIG. 1 and FIG. 3.


The flat display panel 20 is placed on the bearing device 11, and electrically the connection points 200 of the flat display panel 20 are connected with the plurality of pins 120 of the fixture 12; an electric field is generated between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 and acts on the flat display panel 20; and screen turning-on signals are applied to the flat display panel 20 through the plurality of pins 120 so as to turn on the flat display panel 20.


For example, at the beginning of the aging process, the cavity 18 is opened, and the vacuum chucks 160 of the mechanical arm 16 pick up the flat display panel 20 and are ready to send the flat display panel 20 into the cavity 18.


The vacuum chucks 160 of the mechanical arm 16 face away from the bearing surface 110 and act on a side 202 of the flat display panel 20, which side is opposite to the pattern surface 201, so as to avoid damaging the device wirings formed on the pattern surface 201. The plurality of connection points 200 on the flat display panel 20 face away from the bearing surface 110 towards the pin plate 121.


As illustrated in FIG. 1, before the mechanical arm 16 places the flat display panel 20 on the bearing surface 110, the support plate 17 moves close to the bearing device 11 in the second direction, and drives the support pillars 170 to move along the through holes 140 and to extend out of the bearing surface 110. The height of the support pillars 170 extending out of the bearing surface 110 is enough to accommodate the portion of the mechanical arm 16 that extends over the bearing surface 110, so as to allow the mechanical arm 16 to place the flat display panel 20 on the plurality of support pillars 170.


As illustrated in FIG. 3, the support plate 17 moves away from the bearing device 11 in the first direction, and drives the support pillars 170 to move along the through holes 140 and to move in the first direction until below the bearing surface 110, so as to allow the flat display panel 20 to be placed on the bearing surface 110.


Under the control of the lifting device 122, the pin plate 121 moves close to the flat display panel 20 in the first direction and contacts the flat display panel 20, and the plurality of pins 120 on the pin plate 121 contact the plurality of the connection points 200 on the flat display panel 20 and establish an electrical connection.


The cavity 18 is closed and the power supply 192 is turned on, so as to allow an electric field E to be generated between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 to age the flat display panel 20.


The embodiments of the present disclosure use an externally formed electric field instead of a large gate voltage to age a TFT device, so as to adjust the stray electric charges inside the TFT device and alleviate the electric leakage and tail-up phenomenon of the TFT. The external electric field direction comprises a first direction D1 and a second direction D2. For example, the TFT comprises a top gate structure and/or a bottom gate structure; the gate electrode of the TFT with the top gate structure is closer to the substrate than the active layer, and the gate electrode of the TFT with the bottom gate structure is farther away from the substrate than the active layer. The TFTs with different structures require the aging electric fields in different directions according to the type of the stray electric charges.


Please refer to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a partial structure schematic diagram corresponding to the pixel circuit illustrated in FIG. 5, but the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the specific structure. The circuit comprises the switch transistor T1, the driving transistor T2 and the capacitor Cs. The switch transistor T1 is with a top gate structure, and a gate electrode 311 of the switch transistor T1 is farther away from a substrate 300 than an active layer 312. The driving transistor T2 is with a bottom gate structure, and a gate electrode 321 of the driving transistor T2 is closer to the substrate 300 than an active layer 322. The switch transistor T1 and the driving transistor T2 are both enhancement N-type TFTs. For example, due to the reasons of the manufacturing process, the material and so on, negative stray electric charges may occur in the channel region of the active layer 312 of the switch transistor T1 that is close to a gate insulating layer 313 and in the channel region of the active layer 322 of the driving transistor T2 that is close to a gate insulating layer 323. These stray electric charges can cause the electric leakage and tail-up phenomenon of the thin film transistor and influence the performance of the thin film transistor, therefore, the driving circuit needs to be aged to allow the stray electric charges to move to the body region of the active layer away from the channel region. For the switch transistor T1, it is necessary to apply an electric field in the second direction D2 for aging, and for the driving transistor T2, it is necessary to apply an electric field in the first direction D1 for aging.


Therefore, the direction of the aging electric field needs to involve the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, so as to allow each of the TFTs to be aged. First, the operation of generating the electric field E between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 comprises: an electric field generated between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 in the first direction D1, and with the direction of the electric field being changed after a period of time, an electric field to be generated between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 in the second direction.


The signal source 191 is switched on, and screen turning-on signals are provided for the flat display panel 20 through the fixture 12. With observing of the turning-on condition of the device, if the luminescence of the flat display panel 20 is uneven, the amplitude of the electric field can be adjusted.


For example, the amplitude of the electric field can be changed by changing the distance between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14, or by changing the position of the flat display panel 20 between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14.


The embodiments of the present disclosure achieve aging by providing an electric field for the flat display panel 20, which avoids the burning of the TFT device caused by the excessive bias and allows the TFTs at different positions to be uniformly aged, also easy to operate and implement.

The mechanical arm 16 places the flat display panel 20 on the surface of the pin plate 121, and the plurality of connection points 200 on the flat display panel 20 directly contact the plurality of pins 120 on the pin plate 121 and establish an electrical connection.


The vacuum chucks 160 of the mechanical arm 16 face the bearing surface 110 and act on the side 202 of the flat display panel 20 opposite the pattern surface 201, so as to avoid damaging the device lines formed on the pattern surface 201. The plurality of connection points 200 on the flat display panel 20 face the bearing surface 110 and are connected with the pin plate 121.


The embodiments of the present disclosure achieve aging by providing an electric field for the flat display panel 20, which avoids the burning of the TFT device caused by the excessive bias and allows the TFTs at different positions to be uniformly aged, also easy to operate and implement.


Although the above embodiments are described by taking the display panel to be aged as a flat display panel as an example, those skilled in the art should understand that the aging device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can also be used for a curved display panel. For example, according to the shape, the degree of curve (such as the radius of curvature) and the like of the curved display panel to be aged, adaptive changes to the aging device described above can be made, such as adaptive changes to the bearing surface and the fixture, and then the aging method described above can be used to age the curved display panel.
