Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种面板的检测技术,且特别涉及一种面板的检测线路布局以及液晶显示面板的制造方法。The invention relates to a detection technology of a panel, and in particular to a detection circuit layout of a panel and a manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display panel.
背景技术 Background technique
多媒体社会的急速进步多半受惠于半导体元件或显示装置的飞跃性进步。就显示器而言,具有高画质、空间利用效率佳、低消耗功率、无辐射等优越特性的液晶显示器(liquid crystal display,LCD)已逐渐成为市场的主流。The rapid progress of the multimedia society is mostly due to the rapid progress of semiconductor devices or display devices. As far as displays are concerned, liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with superior characteristics such as high image quality, good space utilization efficiency, low power consumption, and no radiation have gradually become the mainstream of the market.
图1为公知主动阵列液晶显示面板(active matrix LCD panel,AM-LCD panel)的立体分解示意图。请参照图1,主动阵列液晶显示面板100包括主动元件阵列基板110、液晶层120以及彩色滤光片(color filter,CF)130。其中,彩色滤光片130是位于主动元件阵列基板110上方,而液晶层120则是设置于主动元件阵列基板110与彩色滤光片130之间。主动元件阵列基板110上是设置有多个阵列排列的主动元件112以及与每一个主动元件112对应设置的像素电极(pixelelectrode)114,这些主动元件112是用来作为像素单元的开关元件。而且,为了驱动个别像素单元中的主动元件112,通常会通过扫描线(scan line)116与数据线(data line)118选取特定的像素,并提供此像素适当的操作电压,以显示对应此像素的画面。FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional exploded schematic diagram of a known active matrix LCD panel (active matrix LCD panel, AM-LCD panel). Referring to FIG. 1 , an active array liquid
图2为公知的一种面板单元的检测线路布局示意图。请参照图2,图1的主动阵列液晶显示面板100的制造工艺是先以一大片主动元件阵列基板与一大片彩色滤光片进行组装,以将液晶层密封于其间,进而形成多个阵列排列的面板单元200。之后再进行切裂(cutting)工艺,以形成多个图1所示的主动阵列液晶显示面板100。FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a detection circuit layout of a known panel unit. Please refer to FIG. 2. The manufacturing process of the active matrix liquid
公知面板单元200的电性检测方法是先将各个面板单元200的扫描配线与数据配线,分别通过短路杆(shorting bar)140而与其它面板单元200的扫描配线及数据配线串接在一起,并将短路杆140电连接至接垫210。之后,将探针(probe)(图中未示出)压触在接垫210上,以通过探针输入信号至各面板单元200的扫描配线,而开启图1的主动元件112。然后,再通过探针将检测信号传递至各个面板单元200内的数据配线,而使各个面板单元200依据此检测信号来显示画面。此时,相关人员即可依据面板单元200所显示的画面来判断这些面板单元200是否为合格产品。The electrical detection method of the
以小尺寸显示面板的制造工艺来说,一块玻璃基板可以用来形成数十或数百个的面板单元。如图2所示,如欲同时对这些数量庞大的面板单元200进行电性检测,则必须将这些面板单元200维持在充电的状态下,并通过压触于接垫300上的探针(图中未示出)传递检测信号至每一面板单元200内。也就是说,在检测过程中,这些面板单元200内的主动元件(图中未示出)均处于开启状态,直到所有面板单元200均检测完毕后,才关闭所有面板单元200内的主动元件。In the manufacturing process of small-sized display panels, one glass substrate can be used to form tens or hundreds of panel units. As shown in FIG. 2 , if these
虽然在上述的检测方法中,仅需制造一组探针,并将其压触在接垫210上,即可完成所有面板单元200的检测。然而,若主动元件长时间处于开启状态下,将会导致其元件特性产生变化,因而无法正常工作。Although in the above detection method, it is only necessary to manufacture a set of probes and press them on the pads 210 to complete the detection of all the
为此,公知技术提出另一种检测方法,以解决上述问题。图3为公知的另一种面板单元的检测线路布局示意图。请参照图3,此种检测方法是将这些面板单元200分为多组,且各组面板单元200是分别电连接至其所对应的接垫300。因此,在进行面板单元200的检测时,仅需对欲进行检测的某组面板单元200进行充电,并将探针(图中未示出)压触至此组面板单元200所对应的接垫300上,即可将检测信号传递至此组面板单元200内。而且,于此组面板单元200检测完毕后,即可关闭此组面板单元200内的主动元件。换言之,此种检测方法可缩短主动元件处于开启状态下的时间。For this reason, the known technology proposes another detection method to solve the above-mentioned problems. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a detection circuit layout of another known panel unit. Referring to FIG. 3 , in this detection method, the
然而,由于此种检测方法一次仅能针对一组面板单元进行检测,因此每测完一组面板单元,则需将探针移至对应于另一组面板单元的接垫上,且每移动一次探针需再对位一次,以使探针能确实压触在接垫上。当面板单元数量多时,即需要较长的检测时间才能完成所有面板单元的检测。虽然可以增加探针组数,以同时进行多组面板单元的检测,进而缩短检测时间,但相对的检测成本亦需提高。However, since this detection method can only detect one group of panel units at a time, each time a group of panel units is tested, the probes need to be moved to the pads corresponding to another group of panel units, and each time the probe is moved The needle needs to be aligned again so that the probe can actually press down on the pad. When the number of panel units is large, it takes a long detection time to complete the detection of all the panel units. Although the number of probe sets can be increased to simultaneously inspect multiple groups of panel units, thereby shortening the inspection time, the relative inspection cost also needs to be increased.

由上述可知,如欲检测A1组的面板单元502,可将一组探针(图中未示出)压触在检测接垫520与选择信号接垫530上,以便于通过探针分别将检测信号IS与选择信号SS由外部电路传输至检测线路布局500内。多路复用器510是依据选择信号SS而施加电压至与A1组面板单元502电连接的控制晶体管512的栅极G1,进而开启此控制晶体管512。如此一来,检测信号IS即可从检测接垫520依次通过控制晶体管512的漏极D1、源极S1以及第一信号线504a,而传输至待检测的A1组面板单元502内。在此,由于本实施例的第一信号线504a为扫描线,因此当检测信号IS传输至A1组面板单元502内之后,此组面板单元502的各个像素会被开启,后续只要输入数据信号至A1组所有面板单元502的数据线中,相关人员即可依据各个面板单元502的工作情形,来判断A1组中的这些面板单元502是否均为合格产品。It can be known from the above that if the
特别的是,本实施例的多路复用器510还可以包括多个刷新晶体管514,其中各个刷新晶体管514的源极S2是电连接于对应的控制晶体管512的源极S1与第一信号线504a,而漏极D2则是电连接于一刷新信号供应单元560。在检测完A1组的面板单元502后,如欲进行下一组面板单元502的检测,则可将连接至A1组的控制晶体管512关闭,并开启刷新晶体管514,以使刷新信号供应单元560所输出的刷新信号(refresh signal)RS依次通过刷新晶体管514的漏极D2、源极S2而传输至A1组面板单元502内,进而刷新(refresh)A1组面板单元502内的检测信号。In particular, the
承上述,在将A1组面板单元502内的检测信号刷新完毕后,即可关闭A1组所对应的刷新晶体管514,之后再以相同的方法接着进行其它组面板单元502的检测。特别值得一提的是,在下一组面板单元502的检测过程中,毋须移动压触于检测接垫520上的探针,只要通过多路复用器510来选择欲开启的控制晶体管512即可。Based on the above, after refreshing the detection signals in the
由此可知,在检测A1组面板单元502的过程中,由于检测信号并不会传输至其它组面板单元502内,因此毋须开启其它组面板单元502内的主动元件,仅有检测中的A1组面板单元502内的主动元件需处于开启状态。换言之,本发明的检测线路布局500可以对面板单元502进行分组检测,以缩短各个面板单元502内的主动元件处于开启状态的时间,进而避免面板单元502内的主动元件因长时间处于开启状态而损坏。It can be seen that, in the process of detecting the A1
需要一提的是,虽然上述实施例的多路复用器是用来选择性地导通检测接垫与面板单元的扫描线,但所属技术领域的技术人员应该知道,检测线路布局500中所设置的多路复用器510亦可用来选择性地导通检测接垫520与面板单元502的数据线(也就是第二信号线504b),如图6所示。而且,本发明的检测线路布局还可以利用两个多路复用器来分别选择性地导通检测接垫与面板单元的扫描线与数据线,以个别检测各个面板单元。下文将举实施例说明之。It should be mentioned that although the multiplexer in the above embodiment is used to selectively connect the detection pads and the scan lines of the panel unit, those skilled in the art should know that the
图7为本发明第三实施例中检测线路布局的示意图。请参照图7,构成检测线路布局700的元件除了前述实施例的多路复用器510与检测接垫520以外,还包括有多路复用器710与检测接垫720。在本实施例中,这些面板单元502是排列成行列式的矩阵。其中,多路复用器510是用以选择性地导通检测接垫520与某行(column)面板单元502的第一信号线504a(扫描线),多路复用器710则是用以选择性地导通检测接垫720与某列(row)面板单元502的第二信号线504b(数据线)。而且,如图8所示,多路复用器710内部的电子元件大致上与多路复用器510内部的电子元件相同,其亦包括有控制晶体管712以及与刷新信号供应单元760电连接的刷新晶体管714。Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of the detection circuit layout in the third embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 7 , the components constituting the
请同时参照图5、图7与图8,在本实施例中,检测线路布局700可以用来检测单一面板单元502。举例来说,如欲检测位于第一行第一列的面板单元502,则先将探针(图中未示出)压触在检测接垫520、选择信号接垫530、检测接垫720与选择信号接垫730上,以便于通过探针分别将检测信号IS、IS’与选择信号SS、SS’由外部电路传输至检测线路布局700内。Please refer to FIG. 5 , FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 at the same time. In this embodiment, the
承上述,多路复用器510是依据选择信号SS而施加电压至与第一行面板单元502电连接的控制晶体管512的栅极G1,进而开启此控制晶体管512。如此一来,检测信号IS即可从检测接垫520依次通过控制晶体管512的漏极D1、源极S1以及第一信号线504a,而传输至位于第一列的面板单元502内。另一方面,多路复用器710是依据选择信号SS’而施加电压至与第一列面板单元502电连接的控制晶体管712的栅极G1’,进而开启控制晶体管712。如此一来,检测信号IS’即可从检测接垫720依次通过控制晶体管712的漏极D1’、源极S1’以及第二信号线504b,而传输至位于第一行的面板单元502内。Based on the above, the
在此,由于本实施例的第一信号线504a为扫描线,因此当检测信号IS传输至第一行的面板单元502内后,此行的面板单元502中的各个像素会被开启。但由于本实施例是将检测信号IS’传输至第一列的面板单元502内,因此仅有位于第一行第一列的面板单元502能够依据检测信号IS’来显示画面。此时,相关人员即可依据此面板单元502所显示的画面来判断其是否为合格产品。Here, since the
由上述可知,本发明的检测线路布局是利用多路复用器来导通欲进行检测的面板单元与检测接垫,以便于分组或个别检测面板单元。因此,在检测过程中无须移动探针,即可完成所有面板单元的检测。As can be seen from the above, the detection circuit layout of the present invention utilizes a multiplexer to connect the panel units to be detected and the detection pads, so as to group or individually detect the panel units. Therefore, the detection of all panel units can be completed without moving the probe during the detection process.
在液晶显示面板的制造过程中,若使用本发明的检测线路布局搭配液晶的滴下式注入制造工艺,将可大幅缩短工艺时间。下文将说明此液晶显示面板的制造流程。In the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display panel, if the detection circuit layout of the present invention is used in conjunction with the liquid crystal drop injection manufacturing process, the process time can be greatly shortened. The manufacturing process of this liquid crystal display panel will be described below.
图9A至图9C为本发明的一实施例中液晶显示面板的制造流程俯视示意图。请参照图9A,首先在第一基板610上形成液晶层620。其中,第一基板610上例如是已形成有以阵列方式排列的多个主动元件(图中未示出)、像素电极(图中未示出)以及框胶614,且框胶614是在第一基板610上围出多个液晶注入区616。液晶层620即是以滴下式注入的方式,形成于这些液晶注入区616内。9A to 9C are schematic top views of the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display panel in an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 9A , firstly, a
请参照图9B,接着提供第二基板630,并将其设置于第一基板610上方。其中,第二基板630例如是彩色滤光片。之后,将第二基板630与第一基板610组装,以使液晶层620密封于第一基板610、框胶614与第二基板630之间,而形成多组面板单元502。而且,组装第一基板610与第二基板630的方法例如是先施力压合第一基板610与第二基板630,接着在固化框胶614,以使第一基板610与第二基板630确实地与彼此黏合。在本实施例中,框胶614可以是热固化胶,也可以是紫外光固化胶。换言之,本实施例例如是以热固化或紫外光固化的方式来固化框胶614。Referring to FIG. 9B , a
在形成面板单元502之后,接着即是形成图4、图6或图7的检测线路布局,并输入点灯信号至检测线路布局,以便于对这些面板单元502分组进行点灯测试。其中,在点灯测试过程中,检测线路布局的各个元件及面板单元502的工作情形如同前文所述,此处不再赘述。After the
请参照图9C,在完成所有面板单元502的点灯测试后,即可进行切裂(cutting)工艺,以将图9B的组装后的第一基板610与第二基板630切割成多个液晶显示面板600,而这些液晶显示面板600的后续制造工艺为所属技术领域的技术人员所熟知,此处不再赘述。Referring to FIG. 9C, after the lighting test of all
综上所述,本发明具有下列特点:In summary, the present invention has the following characteristics:
1.本发明的检测线路布局是以多路复用器来选择欲进行检测的单一或多个面板单元,因此在使用本发明的检测线路布局来检测面板单元的过程中,毋须移动压触于检测接垫上的探针即可完成所有面板单元的检测。所以,使用本发明的检测线路布局可以有效地缩短检测过程中所需耗费的时间,进而降低时间成本。而且,若使用本发明的检测线路布局,则检测过程中仅需使用一组探针,即可完成所有面板单元的检测。换言之,使用本发明的检测线路布局可以节省制造探针所需花费的成本。1. The detection circuit layout of the present invention uses a multiplexer to select a single or multiple panel units to be detected, so in the process of using the detection circuit layout of the present invention to detect panel units, it is not necessary to move the pressing contact The detection of all panel units can be completed by detecting the probes on the pads. Therefore, using the detection circuit layout of the present invention can effectively shorten the time spent in the detection process, thereby reducing the time cost. Moreover, if the detection circuit layout of the present invention is used, only one set of probes can be used in the detection process to complete the detection of all panel units. In other words, using the detection circuit layout of the present invention can save the cost of manufacturing probes.
2.在使用本发明的检测线路布局来检测面板单元的过程中,仅有检测中的面板单元内的主动元件处于开启状态下,其余面板单元内的主动元件均可以处于关闭状态。也就是说,利用本发明的检测线路布局可以分组检测多个面板单元,以缩短面板单元内的主动元件处于开启状态下的时间,进而延长主动元件的使用寿命。2. In the process of using the detection circuit layout of the present invention to detect panel units, only the active components in the panel unit being detected are in the on state, and the active components in the other panel units can be in the off state. That is to say, the detection circuit layout of the present invention can be used to detect multiple panel units in groups, so as to shorten the time that the active elements in the panel units are in the on state, thereby prolonging the service life of the active elements.
3.在本发明的液晶显示面板的制造工艺中,是在未切裂前先对多个面板单元进行点灯测试,之后再进行切裂制造工艺而形成多个液晶显示面板。与公知技术中先将大基板切裂为多个显示面板后再进行点灯测试的作法相比之下,本发明可以同时对多个面板单元进行点灯测试,进而大幅缩短同批液晶显示面板进行点灯测试所需耗费的时间。3. In the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display panel of the present invention, a lighting test is performed on a plurality of panel units before cutting, and then a cutting manufacturing process is performed to form a plurality of liquid crystal display panels. Compared with the conventional method of first cutting a large substrate into multiple display panels and then performing a lighting test, the present invention can simultaneously perform a lighting test on multiple panel units, thereby greatly shortening the time required for lighting the same batch of liquid crystal display panels. The time it takes to test.
