[0046] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below. In the detailed description below, many specific details are proposed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present invention by illustrating examples of the present invention.

[0047] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The embodiments will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0048] At present, with the advancement of display technology, OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display panels have gradually become the mainstream development direction. The uneven local brightness display phenomenon of OLED (i.e., Mura phenomenon) is one of the problems that OLED development needs to focus on overcoming. However, due to the differences in the characteristics of TFT (Thin Film Transistor) and light-emitting units in different OLED display panels, the distribution, shape and form of Mura in the display panel are not fixed.

[0049] After long-term research, the inventor found that in order to achieve Mura identification, the relevant technology is mainly to use a lighting machine to light up a single screen to display image data after the OLED array process and evaporation process are completed, and then manually perform subjective identification. However, this Mura identification method has the following problems:

[0050] 1. Although relevant Mura identification personnel have received unified Mura display judgment training, there are large subjective differences between individuals and cannot be quantified. In addition, the visual effect of the human body will deteriorate as attention decreases, which can easily lead to over-detection or missed detection in Mura identification.

[0051] 2. The Mura identification method is to use a lighting machine to make the pixel area in the panel glow after the OLED array process and the evaporation process to achieve identification. Therefore, the Mura display area actually identified is affected by both the array factor and the evaporation material factor. It is difficult to distinguish whether the Mura display area is caused by the electrical factors of the array end or the Mura phenomenon caused by the evaporation material factor.

[0052] In summary, the mura identification method in the related art objectively has the problem of difficulty in finding the fundamental influencing factors of the mura phenomenon in the display area and low mura identification accuracy. In order to solve this technical problem, the inventor of this application explored and discovered the essential cause of electrical mura in the display panel array process based on the quality test of each pixel in the array test link.

[0053] It should be noted that in the related art, the OLED array test link mainly tests the amount of charge in the array circuit within a specified time, and then compares the amount of charge with the set upper limit line to realize a binary judgment on whether the circuit is normally connected or disconnected. The inventor of this application found that although this binary judgment can identify the quality of pixels, when the evaluation of the pixels is good, the electrical characteristics of each pixel are different, which can lead to different output currents of each pixel circuit, so that when the actual light is emitted, the display of different display areas of the display panel is different, resulting in the Mura phenomenon affected by the electrical factors of the array end (hereinafter referred to as "electrical Mura").

[0054] It can be seen that the essence of electrical Mura generated in the OLED array process is that after the array process is completed, the different current values ​​generated by the pixels in each row in each display panel after the same data signal is written. Therefore, after the OLED array test (Array Test) link, the electrical data of each pixel obtained by the array test equipment can be read, and Mura identification can be realized based on the electrical data. Starting from the essence of the occurrence of Mura affected by the electrical factors of the array end, electrical Mura identification is realized with the help of the electrical data obtained from the array test, so as to solve the technical problems of the difficulty in finding the fundamental influencing factors of the Mura phenomenon in the display area and the low accuracy of Mura identification in the prior art.

[0055] The following first introduces the Mura identification method of the embodiment of the present application.

[0056] See also Figure 1 In an optional example, the mura identification method includes:

[0057] S110, acquiring electrical data of each pixel point obtained by performing an array test on the display panel.

[0058] S120, calculating the grayscale value of each pixel area during array testing according to the electrical data of each pixel point. Specifically, the display panel includes a plurality of pixel areas, and each pixel area includes a plurality of pixel points arranged in an array.

[0059] S130 , identifying a Mura display area in each pixel area according to the grayscale value of each pixel area.

[0060] The embodiment of the present application calculates the grayscale value of each pixel area during the array test based on the electrical data of each pixel point, and then identifies the Mura display area in each pixel area based on the grayscale value of each pixel area. Because the parameters used to identify the Mura display area are directly read from the electrical data of each pixel point during the array test, it is not necessary to light up the display panel after the evaporation process to achieve electrical Mura identification, so that electrical Mura identification is no longer affected by evaporation, that is, it directly distinguishes the Mura phenomenon affected by array-side factors, which solves the technical problem that the prior art is difficult to find the fundamental influencing factors of the Mura phenomenon in the display area, and can replace manual identification, can be quantified, and improves the detection speed and accuracy.

[0061] In some embodiments, in S110, the electrical data of each pixel can be read directly from the array test device, or the method can also be directly executed by the array test device. In other embodiments, the electrical data of each pixel reported by the array test device can also be read from the server. Exemplarily, the server can be an FTP server (File Transfer Protocol Server, File Transfer Protocol Server), and the electrical data of each pixel can be stored in the DFS (Distributed File System, Distributed File System) directory of the FTP server. When Mura identification is required, the electrical data of each pixel of the display panel at that time can be found and read from the DFS directory through the fast posting operation (Track Out) time in the OLED Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

[0062] It should be noted that the electrical data of each pixel point includes at least one of the voltage value, current value and accumulated charge amount of each pixel point during the charging and discharging process during the array test. Taking the electrical data as the accumulated charge amount as an example, the array test equipment can scan the display panel line by line, and then integrate the accumulated charge amount of each pixel point during the charging and discharging process measured in the array test link by sampling the charge amount of each pixel point, and the accumulated charge amount is the electrical data of the pixel point. Therefore, by extracting the electrical data of the pixel points of the entire display panel during the array test, the final Mura identification covers the entire display area, ensuring the data integrity of the Mura identification.

[0063] In some embodiments, the grayscale value of each pixel area in the display panel can be calculated based on the electrical data of each pixel point by a software program. For example, the software program can be implemented in a programming language such as Java or Python.

[0064] The pixel regions can be divided according to actual needs. Each display panel includes a plurality of pixel regions, the plurality of pixel regions do not overlap, and each pixel region includes a plurality of pixel points arranged in an array.

[0065] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the plurality of pixel regions may be divided according to the display region sizes of different display panels. For example, the display panel may be divided into 20*30 pixel regions.

[0066] Exemplarily, the display panel can be divided into 20*20 pixel areas, each pixel area includes n*n pixel points, n is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and the grayscale value of the corresponding pixel area can be obtained based on the electrical data of each pixel point in each pixel area.

[0067] See also Figure 2 In some optional examples, in S120, the process of calculating the grayscale value of each pixel area during the array test according to the electrical data of each pixel point may include:

[0068] S221, performing convolution processing on the electrical data of multiple pixel points in each pixel area respectively to obtain regional electrical data of each pixel area.

[0069] S222, obtaining an average value of the regional electrical data of each pixel region, and a maximum value and a minimum value of the regional electrical data of each pixel region.

[0070] S223, calculating the grayscale value of each pixel area during the array test according to the regional electrical data, the maximum value, the minimum value and the average value of each pixel area.

[0071] This example provides a method for obtaining the grayscale value of each pixel area during array testing based on the electrical data of each pixel point. It provides effective electrical characteristic parameters for the subsequent identification of Mura display areas and helps to achieve quantitative identification of electrical Mura phenomena with high repeatability and accuracy.

[0072] Among them, the convolution processing can be used to blur the electrical data of each pixel in the pixel area, thereby eliminating the display differences caused by a small number of electrical data deviations or bad pixels, achieving the uniformity of a single pixel area, and then helping to accurately find the phenomenon of local display unevenness of the display panel in the subsequent process.

[0073] The electrical data of a single pixel point may be expressed in a matrix form, and then the electrical data of all the pixels in a single pixel area may be added up in a matrix to obtain the regional electrical data of the single pixel area.

[0074] For example, the regional electrical data of the pixel region A may be calculated according to the following formula (1).

[0075]

[0076] Among them, I A is the regional electrical data of pixel area A, n∈N, N is the convolution value corresponding to the convolution processing, that is, the set of pixels in pixel area A, i A is the electrical data of a pixel in the pixel area A.

[0077] It should be noted that the regional electrical data corresponds to the type of electrical data of the pixel point, and represents the electrical data value after the electrical data of multiple pixel points in a single pixel area are homogenized. On this basis, the maximum and minimum values ​​can be found, and the average value of the regional electrical data of each pixel area can be calculated.

[0078] The grayscale value of each pixel area during the array test can be calculated by combining the maximum value, minimum value and average value obtained through the regional electrical data of each pixel area through formula (2).

[0079]

[0080] in, is the grayscale value of pixel area A during array testing, I A is the regional electrical data of pixel area A, avg(I) is the average value, MAX(I) is the maximum value, and MIN(I) is the minimum value.

[0081] In the example of the present application, the regional electrical data of each pixel area is obtained by the electrical data of each pixel point of the display panel, and then converted into the grayscale value of each pixel area during the array test. Therefore, the Mura display area can be identified from multiple pixel areas based on the grayscale value of each pixel area, thereby realizing electrical Mura recognition with low interference.

[0082] In an optional embodiment, in S130, the process of identifying the Mura display area in each pixel area according to the grayscale value of each pixel area during the array test can be to compare the grayscale value of each pixel area with the set specification, and select the pixel area where the grayscale value that does not meet the specification is located as the Mura display area.

[0083] Specifically, the set specification may be a reference grayscale, which is considered normal display grayscale data, and may be an average grayscale calculated based on the grayscale values ​​of each pixel area, or may be the median of the grayscale values ​​of each pixel area, etc. The grayscale value of each pixel area may be further compared with the reference grayscale, and the pixel area whose difference with the reference grayscale is far from the set threshold range may be considered as a mura display area.

[0084] The Mura display rate of the grayscale value of each pixel area relative to the reference grayscale can also be calculated, and the Mura display rate represents the probability of the electrical Mura phenomenon in each pixel area. The pixel area where the target grayscale value is located can be identified as the Mura display area, where the target grayscale value is the grayscale value where the Mura display rate exceeds the preset value. The preset value can be 90%, 88%, 92% or other values, and its specific value can be set according to the actual situation.

[0085] Specifically, the process of calculating the Mura display rate may include: respectively calculating the absolute value of the difference between the grayscale value of each pixel area and the reference grayscale; and calculating the Mura display rate of the grayscale value of each pixel area relative to the reference grayscale according to formula (3).

[0086]

[0087] Among them, g A is the Mura display rate of pixel area A relative to the reference grayscale, is the absolute value of the difference between the grayscale value of the pixel area A and the reference grayscale.

[0088] In this embodiment, by setting a reference grayscale to calculate the Mura display rate, the probability of electrical Mura phenomenon display in each pixel area can be obtained, which helps to accurately identify the Mura display position based on the grayscale value, so that the Mura phenomenon affected by the electrical factors of the array end can be directly identified, thereby solving the technical problem in the prior art that it is difficult to find the fundamental influencing factors of the Mura phenomenon in the display area, and can replace manual identification, can be quantified and executed, and improves the detection speed and accuracy.

[0089] In another optional embodiment, in S130, a grayscale image displayed by the display panel may be simulated according to the grayscale value of each pixel area; and then the Mura display area may be identified from the grayscale image.

[0090] The process of simulating the grayscale image displayed by the above-mentioned display panel may include: inputting the grayscale value of each pixel area into the image processing program, and the image processing program performs a simulated output of the image. Among them, the image processing program can be a program that can process and output according to the grayscale value of each pixel area. Exemplarily, the image processing program can be implemented with the help of OpenCV, which is a cross-platform computer vision and machine learning software library. After obtaining the grayscale image, the software can capture the area with uneven local brightness display, and then identify the Mura display area.

[0091] The embodiment of the present application realizes visual electrical Mura recognition by simulating the grayscale image of the display panel, and the recognition of the electrical Mura is not affected by the vapor deposition material.

[0092] In order to enhance the accuracy of electrical Mura identification, the above-mentioned image output identification scheme can also be combined with the above-mentioned Mura identification scheme based on Mura display rate. With the help of image output identification, the Mura display area identified based on the Mura display rate is verified. Only when both schemes are verified, it is confirmed as a Mura display area. In this way, identification is performed from both image and program algorithm aspects, thereby improving the accuracy of electrical Mura identification.

[0093] In some optional examples of the present application, the above-mentioned image output recognition scheme and the aforementioned Mura recognition scheme based on Mura display rate can be verified as a Mura display area, that is, it is considered to be a Mura display area, and comprehensive Mura recognition can be achieved.

[0094] It is understandable that the mura identification method may further include sending a reminder message to the tester, such as sending an email to the tester, so that the tester can analyze and process the mura display area with the help of the monitoring system. If the mura display area is not identified, the production operation (such as tape-out, etc.) can continue.
