The present disclosure relates to a technical field of displays, and more particularly to a display device.
With a demand for full-screen mobile phones, narrowing of lower borders has become a stronger and stronger trend. This trend has also driven a narrow border trend of large-size products. Cell test (CT) detection circuits are of great significance to interception of large-size defective products. Thus, waste of material in subsequent stages is reduced. However, a situation in which CT detection circuits are placed in driving integrated circuit (IC) chips easily causes charging rate differences, resulting in a grayscale split-screen phenomenon. Thus, products may be falsely determined to be positive, affecting detection rates of production line operations.
In a traditional structure, there are some dummy pins in a middle of a driving IC chip, causing coupling a CT detection circuit on both sides of the dummy pins through a longer signal line to be needed. Because of a gap between the CT detection circuit on the both sides of the dummy pins that is caused by the dummy pins, resistance of the CT detection circuit on the both sides of the dummy pins has a larger difference. Thus, signals transmitted by the CT detection circuit on the both sides of the dummy pins to corresponding data lines are different. That is, charging rates of pixels are different, causing the split-screen phenomenon of a display panel.
Thus, it is urgently desired to solve deficiencies of the related art.

Referring to
A plurality of detection pads are disposed in a non-display area 101 on a side of the display panel 10 corresponding to the driving chips IC. The detection pads are electrically coupled to the detection circuits 20. A plurality of detection signals received by the detection pads are transmitted to the data lines through the sub-detection circuits.
The portion of the data lines correspondingly coupled to each of the driving chips IC is grouped into a data line group 104. Resistance of the sub-detection circuits correspondingly coupled to the portion of the data lines in the data line group 104 gradually increases from two sides of the data line group 104 to a middle of the data line group 104; alternatively, resistance of the sub-detection circuits correspondingly coupled to the portion of the data lines in the data line group 104 gradually increases from a middle of the data line group 104 to two sides of the data line group 104.
In the present disclosure, coupling lines between the detection circuits of each adjacent two of the driving chips are disconnected to reduce loads of the detection circuits. A detection signal sending manner is changed to sending to either two sides or a middle of the detection circuit of a single driving chip. The resistance of the sub-detection circuits correspondingly coupled to the portion of the data lines in each of the data line groups is caused to continuously gradually vary. Thus, a problem that a situation in which detection circuits are placed in driving chips IC easily causes pixel charging rate differences, resulting in a split-screen phenomenon of a display panel, is solved.
Hereinafter, the display device of the present disclosure is described in detail in conjunction with the specific embodiments.
Referring to
In the present embodiment, each of the control switch groups 203 includes:
a first control switch T1 that has a control terminal coupled to a detection control signal CTEN, an input terminal receiving a first detection signal CT-1, and an output terminal coupled to one of a first type of data lines, such as one of data lines coupled to red sub-pixels;
a second control switch T2 that has a control terminal coupled to the detection control signal CTEN, an input terminal receiving a second detection signal CT-2, and an output terminal coupled to one of a second type of data lines, such as one of data lines coupled to green sub-pixels; and
a third control switch T3 that has a control terminal coupled to the detection control signal CTEN, an input terminal receiving a third detection signal CT-3, and an output terminal coupled to one of a third type of data lines, such as one of data lines coupled to blue sub-pixels.
The detection control signal CTEN can control on and off of each of the control switches, thereby controlling whether the CT detection circuit operates. The first control switch T1, the second control switch T2, and the third control switch T3 can be thin film transistors. Adjacent two of the data lines are correspondingly coupled to adjacent two of the portion of the control switches in each of the control switch groups 203. The data lines in the panel are divided into the first type of data lines, the second type of data lines, and the third type of data lines according to an arrangement of the sub-pixels coupled to the data lines.
In the present embodiment, each of the detection pad groups 103A includes at least two first detection pads 103 that are in one-to-one correspondence with the detection signal lines 202 and a second detection pad 103′ corresponding to the detection control line 201. Each of the driving chips IC is correspondingly coupled to two of the detection pad groups 103A, and two of the first detection pads 103 in the two of the detection pad groups 103A send one of the detection signals to two ends of each of the detection signal lines 202. That is, two nodes where the one of the detection signals is sent to are located at the two ends of each of the detection signal lines 202. In the present embodiment, two of the detection pad groups 103A that are disposed between each adjacent two of the driving chips are independent. The two independent detection pad groups 103A respectively provide the detection signals to each adjacent two of the driving chips. Thus, there is no need for each adjacent two of the driving chips IC to share one detection pad group 103A. Thus, signal provision ability of the detection circuit 20 is ensured. Also, because the detection circuits 20 of each adjacent two of the driving chips IC are coupled only through the detection control line 201, loads of each of the detection circuits 20 are smaller. Thus, the signal provision ability of the detection circuits 20 of the different driving chips IC is comparable, so between the driving chips IC, signal provision differences that cause a screen to be split into pixels of the display area that correspond to the different driving chips IC are prevented.
The portion of the data lines correspondingly coupled to each of the driving chips IC is grouped into the data line group 104. Because the two of the detection pad groups 103A respectively provide the detection signals to two ends of the detection signal lines 202, the resistance of the sub-detection circuits correspondingly coupled to the portion of the data lines in the data line group 104 gradually increases from the two sides of the data line group 104 to the middle of the data line group 104. If a data line D3 and a data line Dn−2 are two adjacent data lines, resistance of the sub-detection circuits coupled to a data line D1 to the data line D3 gradually increases, i.e., has smaller differences. Resistance of the sub-detection circuits coupled to a data line Dn to the data line Dn−2 gradually increases, i.e., has smaller differences. Resistance of the sub-detection circuits coupled to the data line D3 and the data line Dn−2 is same or comparable (i.e., has a smaller difference). That is, the resistance of the sub-detection circuits correspondingly coupled to the portion of the data lines in the data line group 104 consistently vary from the two sides of the data line group to the middle of the data line group. Thus, a signal provision difference between the adjacent sub-detection circuits is reduced, thereby reducing a pixel charging rate difference between the sub-pixels corresponding to the adjacent data lines. Thus, resistance of sub-detection circuits respectively on two sides of an area A corresponding to dummy pins has a smaller difference or is comparable, so in each of the driving chips IC, signal provision differences that cause a screen to be split at pixels of the display area that correspond to a middle of each of the driving chips IC are prevented.
In addition, this design causes resistance of adjacent sub-detection circuits respectively of each adjacent two of the driving chips IC to have a smaller difference or to be comparable, so signal provision differences that cause a screen to be split into pixels of the display area that correspond to the different driving chips IC are prevented.
Referring to
A node where the one of the detection signals of the detection circuit 20 of one of the driving chips IC is sent to is located at the middle of each of the detection signal lines. Further, a number of sub-detection circuits of the sub-detection circuits is same or comparable for each of two sides of the node where the one of the detection signals is sent to.
If a data line D3 and a data line Dn−2 are two adjacent data lines, resistance of the sub-detection circuits coupled to a data line Di to the data line D3 gradually decreases, i.e., has smaller differences. Resistance of the sub-detection circuits coupled to a data line Dn and the data line Dn−2 gradually decreases, i.e., has smaller differences. Resistance of the sub-detection circuits coupled to the data line D3 and the data line Dn−2 is same or comparable (i.e., has a smaller difference). That is, the resistance of the sub-detection circuits correspondingly coupled to the portion of the data lines in the data line group 104 consistently vary from the middle of the data line group to the two sides of the data line group. Thus, a signal provision difference between the adjacent sub-detection circuits is reduced, thereby reducing a pixel charging rate difference between the sub-pixels corresponding to the adjacent data lines. Thus, resistance of sub-detection circuits respectively on two sides of an area A corresponding to dummy pins has a smaller difference or is comparable, so in each of the driving chips IC, signal provision differences that cause a screen to be split at pixels of the display area that correspond to a middle of each of the driving chips IC are prevented.
In addition, this design causes resistance of adjacent sub-detection circuits respectively of each adjacent two of the driving chips IC to have a smaller difference or to be comparable, so signal provision differences that cause a screen to be split into pixels of the display area that correspond to the different driving chips IC are prevented.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, each of a second detection pad group 103A of the detection pad groups to an Nth detection pad group 103A of the detection pad groups provide a portion of the detection signals simultaneously to adjacent two of the driving chips corresponding to each of the second detection pad group 103A of the detection pad groups to the Nth detection pad group 103A of the detection pad groups. That is, in the present embodiment, each adjacent two of the driving chips IC can share one of the detection pad groups 103A. In the present embodiment, because of a design of a signal sending manner, sharing one of the detection pad groups 103A between each adjacent two of the driving chips IC does not affect signal provision ability of the detection circuits 20. Thus, compared with the aforementioned first embodiment, the present embodiment does not increase a number of the detection pads, thereby saving space and reducing probe contact difficulty.
For the display device of the present disclosure, coupling lines between the detection circuits of each adjacent two of the driving chips are disconnected. The detection pad groups two of which send a portion of the detection signals to two sides of the detection circuit of each of the driving chips are independent; alternatively, a portion of the detection signal are sent to a middle of the detection circuit of each of the driving chips. The resistance of the sub-detection circuits correspondingly coupled to the portion of the data lines in each of the data line groups is caused to continuously gradually vary. Thus, the problem that the situation in which the detection circuits are placed in the driving IC chips easily causes the pixel charging rate differences, resulting in the split-screen phenomenon of the display panel, is solved.
In summary, although the present disclosure has been described with the preferred embodiments thereof above, it is not intended to be limited by the foregoing preferred embodiments. Persons of ordinary skill in the art can carry out many changes and modifications to the described embodiments without departing from the scope and the spirit of the present disclosure. Thus, the protection scope of the present disclosure is in accordance with the scope defined by the claims.
