DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] The scheme of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification.
[0034] In the following description, for the purpose of explanation rather than limitation, specific details such as specific system structures, interfaces, and technologies are provided to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application.
[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0036] The terms "first", "second", "third" in this application are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined as "first", "second", "third" can expressly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. In the embodiments of this application, all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication also changes accordingly. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not limited to the steps or units listed, but optionally also includes steps or units that are not listed, or optionally also includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0037] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0038] The inventor of the present application has found that when performing aging detection on the display panel, the gate opening voltage (Vgatehigh, VGH) of the array substrate is increased. For example, the VGH of the normal shipped product is 30V, and it must be 36V during the aging test, and then shipped after passing the test.

However, for models in which the control circuit board (X board, XB) and CB are bound together for shipment, this method requires first binding the test CB with the XB, then unbinding the test CB from the XB after the test, and finally binding the normal CB with the XB, resulting in a complicated preparation process.

The sensing circuit 22 is used to sense environmental factors and then adjust the resistance value of the sensing circuit 22. The constant current source 23 is connected to the input end of the sensing circuit 22 to deliver a constant current to the sensing circuit 22. The constant current source 23 is also electrically connected to the power management circuit 21.
[0053] In one embodiment, the sensing circuit 22 is a temperature sensing circuit 220, and the temperature sensing circuit 220 includes a thermistor R 0 The resistance of the temperature sensing circuit 220 increases with the thermistor R 0 The lower the ambient temperature of the temperature sensing circuit 220, the lower the thermistor R 0 Since the constant current source 23 inputs a constant current to the temperature sensing circuit 220, the voltage VT at the input end of the temperature sensing circuit 220 changes with the thermistor R 0 The lower the temperature, the greater the voltage VT at the input terminal of the temperature sensing circuit 220.
[0054] In one embodiment, the temperature sensing circuit 220 includes a thermistor R 0 and ordinary resistors. There is at least one ordinary resistor. Multiple ordinary resistors and thermistor R 0 Series and / or parallel. Single thermistor R 0 The precision of adjusting the resistor is not high, the thermistor R 0After being connected in series and / or in parallel with a common resistor, the resistance value of the sensing circuit 22 can be adjusted more finely.

In this embodiment, the sensing circuit 22 is a temperature sensing circuit 220. In other embodiments, the sensing circuit 22 may be a light sensing circuit or a pressure sensing circuit.
[0055] The power management circuit 21 includes a voltage detection module 211 and a gate voltage setting module 212. The voltage detection module 211 is electrically connected to the gate voltage setting module 212, and the voltage detection module 211 is electrically connected to the input end of the sensing circuit 22. The voltage detection module 211 is used to detect the voltage VT at the input end of the sensing circuit 22, and the gate voltage setting module 212 obtains the voltage VT detected by the voltage detection module 211 and outputs the gate opening voltage VGH to the display panel 100. Among them, a preset voltage threshold is set in the gate voltage setting module 212, and the corresponding gate opening voltage VGH is output according to whether the voltage VT obtained by the gate voltage setting module 212 meets the preset voltage threshold. Among them, the preset voltage threshold is V a and V b .
[0056] In one embodiment, in response to the voltage VT at the input terminal of the sensing circuit 22 being less than or equal to the first preset voltage V a , the gate voltage setting module 212 outputs a voltage equal to V 1 The gate opening voltage VGH; the voltage VT at the input terminal of the sensing circuit 22 is greater than or equal to the second preset voltage V b , the gate voltage setting module 212 outputs a voltage equal to V 2 The gate opening voltage VGH, where V a <V b , V 2 >V 1 In response to the voltage VT at the input terminal of the sensing circuit 22 being between Va and Vb, the gate voltage setting module 212 outputs a voltage at V to the display panel 100. 1 With V 2 The voltage VT obtained by the gate voltage setting module 212 satisfies a voltage less than or equal to V aUnder the condition of , the display panel 100 works normally; at room temperature, the voltage VT obtained by the gate voltage setting module 212 is forced to satisfy a value greater than or equal to V b When the condition is met, the display panel 100 can perform aging detection. It should be understood that the detection circuit that changes the output voltage of the gate opening voltage VGH by changing the voltage VT at the input terminal of the sensing circuit 22 is also applicable to other circuits that need to change the gate opening voltage of the display panel 100 for detection.
[0057] In one embodiment, V a is 2V, V b is 3V, V 1 is 30V, V 2 The voltage VT at the input terminal of the sensing circuit 22 is greater than or equal to V b , that is, when the voltage VT is greater than or equal to 3V, the gate voltage setting module 212 outputs a gate opening voltage VGH equal to 36V to the display panel 100, and the aging detection of the display panel 100 can be performed. It should be understood that when performing the aging detection, it is necessary to keep the ambient temperature of the display panel 100 at room temperature, that is, to keep the ambient temperature of the display panel 100 to meet the room temperature condition, so as to force the voltage VT of the input terminal of the sensing circuit 22 to be greater than or equal to 3V. In other embodiments, V a 、V b 、V 1 and V 2 Other preset values can be set according to actual needs.
[0058] In one embodiment, a first temperature threshold is set in the temperature sensing circuit 220. When the ambient temperature of the temperature sensing circuit 220 is equal to the first temperature threshold, the voltage VT at the input terminal of the temperature sensing circuit 220 is less than or equal to V a , V a is 2V, and the gate opening voltage VGH of the display panel 100 is V 1 , V 1 When the ambient temperature of the temperature sensing circuit 220 is lower than the first temperature threshold, the total resistance value of the temperature sensing circuit 220 increases, and the voltage VT at the input terminal of the temperature sensing circuit 220 is greater than V b , V b The gate voltage setting module 212 outputs a gate opening voltage VGH of 36 V to the display panel 100. When performing aging detection, the ambient temperature of the temperature sensing circuit 220 is lower than the first temperature threshold and the ambient temperature of the display panel 100 is kept at a normal temperature. For example, cold wind or ice cubes are used to force the temperature of the surrounding area of the temperature sensing circuit 220 to drop below the first temperature threshold.
[0059] In other optional embodiments, when performing aging detection, a voltage greater than or equal to 3V can be directly input to the input end of the sensing circuit 22 through an external circuit, forcing the voltage VT obtained by the gate voltage setting module 212 to meet the condition of being greater than or equal to 3V, thereby outputting a gate opening voltage VGH equal to 36V to the display panel 100.

One end of the first connection terminal 30 connected to the power management circuit 21 is connected to VDD.
[0062] When the display panel 100 works normally, VDD is not connected to the sensing circuit 22 .
[0063] In one embodiment, the first connection terminal 30 and the second connection terminal 40 are gold fingers 50. The gold fingers 50 are arranged at the edge of the central control board 200. When the panel is detected, the first connection terminal 30 and the second connection terminal 40 are short-circuited through the connector on the central control board 200, so that the input end of the sensing circuit 22 and VDD are turned on, and the voltage VT of the input end of the sensing circuit 22 is equal to the voltage of VDD, that is, VT is equal to 3.3V; therefore, the voltage VT of the input end of the sensing circuit 22 is greater than 3V, and the gate voltage setting module 212 outputs a gate opening voltage VGH equal to 36V to the display panel 100, and the display panel 100 can perform aging detection. Since the central control board 200 usually has a connector (not shown) and a spare gold finger 50, this structure does not increase the cost of the central control board 200.
[0064] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a structural diagram of the third embodiment of the central control circuit provided in this application.
[0065] In one embodiment, the first connection terminal 30 and the second connection terminal 40 are two ends of a switch 60, and the switch 60 is disposed on the central control board 200. When the panel is detected, the switch 60 is closed to conduct the input end of the sensing circuit 22 and VDD, and the voltage VT of the input end of the sensing circuit 22 is the voltage of VDD, that is, VT is equal to 3.3V; therefore, the voltage VT of the input end of the sensing circuit 22 is greater than 3V, and the gate voltage setting module 212 outputs a gate opening voltage VGH equal to 36V to the display panel 100, and the display panel 100 can perform aging detection.
[0066] In other embodiments, a voltage greater than or equal to 3V can be directly input to the input end of the temperature sensing circuit 220 through a test circuit outside the central control circuit 20, so that the voltage VT at the input end of the sensing circuit 22 is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold V in the gate voltage setting module 212. b , V b The gate voltage setting module 212 outputs a gate-on voltage of 36V to the display panel 100.

In particular, for the centralized shipment after XB and CB are bound, shipment can be made after testing without unbinding, which greatly simplifies the process.
