[0077] The existing display panel 100 can only reserve the test PAD of individual signals, so that only individual signals can be tested, which is not conducive to the technicians to quickly locate the technical problems existing in the display panel 100.
[0078] In view of the above problems, a display panel 100 and a testing method thereof are proposed.

[0080] Those skilled in the art should understand that the display panel 100 also includes fluorescent tubes, light guide plates, polarizing plates, filter plates, glass substrates, alignment films, liquid crystal materials, thin-film transistors, etc., which perform basic functions.
[0081] The present application mainly makes an innovative design for testing the scanning matrix of the display panel 100 , so as to solve the problem in the prior art that all the Gate lines 112 and Source lines 111 cannot be tested.
[0082] Those skilled in the art should understand that the Gate lines 112 of the scan matrix 110 are parallel to each other, the Source lines 111 are parallel to each other, and the Gate lines 112 and the Source lines 111 cross each other and are perpendicular to each other to form the scan matrix 110 .
[0083] The test lines include a vertical test line 122 and a horizontal test line 121; the vertical test line 122 is arranged on the outside of the scan matrix 110 and is parallel to the Source line 111 in the scan matrix 110, and uses SD layer metal wiring above the Gate line 112 in the scan matrix 110; the horizontal test line 121 is arranged on the outside of the scan matrix 110 and is parallel to the Gate line 112 in the scan matrix 110, and uses Gate layer metal wiring below the Source line 111 in the scan matrix 110; one end of at least one vertical test line 122 is staggered with one end of at least one horizontal test line 121; one or more of the vertical test lines 122 or the horizontal test lines 121 are connected to the test PAD.
[0084] The vertical test line 122 is set on the outside of the scanning matrix 110, the horizontal test line 121 is set on the outside of the scanning matrix 110, the vertical test line 122 is set on the outside of the Source line 111 on the left / right edges of the scanning matrix 110, and the horizontal test line 121 is set on the outside of the Gate line 112 on the upper and lower edges of the scanning matrix 110.
[0085] The overlapping parts of the vertical test lines 122 and the horizontal test lines 121 may be connected by vias, or may be connected by laser fusion during testing.
[0086] A reserved interface 123 for connecting to a test PAD may be provided at any end of the vertical test line 122 and the horizontal test line 121 , and the test PAD is connected to test the Gate line 112 and the Source line 111 .
[0087] By pre-setting the vertical test line 122 and the horizontal test line 121 on the outside of the scanning matrix 110, and setting the vertical test line 122 and the horizontal test line 121 above the Gate line 112 and below the Source line 111 respectively, when testing is needed, the corresponding Gate line 112 and Source line 111 are respectively connected to the vertical test line 122 and the horizontal test line 121 by laser fusion, and any Gate line 112 and Source line 111 can be tested through the connected test PAD, which solves the problem that the existing display panel 100 can only test individual signals.
[0088] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 It is a first schematic diagram of a first embodiment of a display panel 100 in the present invention.

The horizontal test line 121 is arranged above the display panel 100; the vertical test line 122 is arranged on the left or right side of the display panel 100; one end of the vertical test line 122 overlaps with one end of the horizontal test line 121; the non-overlapping end of the vertical test line 122 or the horizontal test line 121 is connected to the test PAD.
[0090] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is an enlarged schematic diagram of the staggered overlapping ends 124 of the first embodiment of a display panel 100 in the present invention; the staggered overlapping ends 124 of the vertical test line 122 and the horizontal test line 121 are connected through vias / laser fusion; the vertical test line 122 and the Gate line 112 to be tested are connected through laser fusion; the horizontal test line 121 and the Source line 111 to be tested are connected through laser fusion.
[0091] The vertical test line 122 and the horizontal test line 121 may be connected through vias or not before testing. During testing, the vertical test line 122 and the horizontal test line 121 are laser-fused and connected as needed to complete the display panel 100 test.
[0092] Preferably, when there is only one vertical test line 122 and one horizontal test line, a reserved interface 123 for connecting the test PAD is set at the end that does not overlap, that is, when the vertical test line 122 is set on the left side of the scanning matrix 110, a reserved interface 123 for connecting the test PAD is set at the right end of the horizontal test line 121 and the lower end of the vertical test line 122; when the vertical test line 122 is set on the right side of the scanning matrix 110, a reserved interface 123 for connecting the test PAD is set at the left end of the horizontal test line 121 and the lower end of the vertical test line 122.

[0095] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of a display panel 100 in the present invention.
[0096] The number of the horizontal test line 121 is one, and the number of the vertical test lines 122 is two.

[0099] In this embodiment, the horizontal test line 121 and the vertical test line 122 form an inverted U-shaped structure, which is inverted outside the scanning matrix 110. Adding the vertical test line 122 on both sides of the display panel 100 scanning matrix 110 can improve the test accuracy of the Gate line 112.

Preferably, the horizontal test line on the lower side is arranged between the display IC and the outermost Gate line to test all Gate lines 112, Source lines 111 and their input signals, thereby improving the test accuracy and allowing testers to quickly find problems with the display panel 100.
[0106] Although two vertical test lines 122 and one horizontal test line can also test all Gate lines 112 and Source lines 111 , the input signal conditions close to the IC at the bottom of the scan matrix 110 where there are no test lines cannot be accurately known.
