[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0032] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details a display module, display method, and electronic device provided in this application through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0033] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a display module provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the display module may include: a display driver module 100, a repair module 200, a source driver line 300, and a display module 400.

[0034] In this configuration, the source drive lines 300 are located within the display module 400. The first ends of the multiple source drive lines 300 are all connected to the display drive module 100, and the second ends of the multiple source drive lines 300 are all connected to the first end of the repair module 200. The second end of the repair module 200 is connected to the display drive module 100. The display drive module 100 is used to drive the multiple source drive lines 300 so that the display module 400 corresponding to the multiple source drive lines 300 can display. In the case of a broken source drive line 300, the display drive module 100 drives the display area corresponding to the broken source drive line 300 through the repair module 200 to display. The display module 400 includes a display area.

[0035] It is worth noting that the source drive lines 300 are distributed within the display module 400, that is... Figure 1 In the AA region, multiple source drive lines 300 can be evenly distributed in the display module 400, or they can be distributed in other ways, depending on the actual application. This embodiment does not limit this. The display driver module 100 can output the display content matching voltage value to the display module 400 via the source drive lines 300.

[0036] In other words, the display module 400 is used to display the content output by the display driver module 100, and the repair module 200 can be located at the top of the electronic device's display screen, i.e., the non-display portion of the screen, such as... Figure 2As shown, the repair module 200 can be positioned above the display module 400, wherein the AA area is used for display.

[0037] The source drive line 300 may include multiple lines, such as S1, S2, S3, etc. The number of source drive lines can be determined according to the size of the display module or other display requirements. This embodiment does not limit the number of lines to the actual application.

[0038] This application discloses a display module including a display driver module 100, a repair module 200, source driver lines 300, and a display module 400. The source driver lines 300 are located within the display module 400. The first ends of multiple source driver lines 300 are connected to the display driver module 100, and the second ends of multiple source driver lines 300 are connected to the first end of the repair module 200. The second end of the repair module 200 is connected to the display driver module 100. The display driver module 100 drives the multiple source driver lines 300, enabling the display module 400 corresponding to each source driver line 300 to display. In the event of an open circuit in a source driver line 300, the display driver module 100 drives the display area corresponding to the open-circuit source driver line 300 through the repair module 200. The display module 400 includes a display area. This application embodiment allows the display driver module 100 to drive the display area corresponding to the open-circuit source driver line 300 through the repair module 200, enabling the repair of vertical line defects in the display module without disassembly, thus improving repair efficiency.

[0039] In one possible implementation of this application, the repair module 200 may include a circuit breaker location unit 210 and a source drive line location unit 220.

[0040] The first end of the source drive line positioning unit 220 is connected to the second end of a plurality of source drive lines 300, the second end of the source drive line positioning unit 220 is connected to the display drive module 100, and the third end of the source drive line positioning unit 220 is connected to the circuit breaker positioning unit 210.

[0041] In this embodiment, the circuit breaker positioning unit 210 is used to control the on / off state of the source drive line positioning unit 220. By controlling the source drive line positioning unit 220 to be on through the circuit breaker positioning unit 210, the source drive line positioning unit 220 can be connected to the source drive line 300 that is in the circuit breaker state. This allows the display driving module 100 to drive the display area corresponding to the source drive line 300 that is in the circuit breaker state through the source drive line positioning unit 220 to display, thus avoiding vertical line defects.

[0042] It is worth noting that the circuit breaker location unit 210 can control the on / off state of multiple source drive line location units 220 to repair multiple source drive lines 300 that are in a broken circuit. For example, time-division multiplexing can be used for control, or other methods can be used. This embodiment does not limit the method, and the actual application shall prevail. For example, the circuit breaker location unit 210 is a shift register.

[0043] Optionally, the circuit breaker positioning unit 210 may include a plurality of circuit breaker positioning subunits 211, each of which is connected to at least one source drive line positioning subunit 221 corresponding to it.

[0044] In other words, multiple source drive lines 300 that are in the open circuit can be repaired simultaneously by multiple circuit breaker positioning subunits 211. The specific control method is as shown in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0045] Optionally, the source drive line positioning unit 220 may include multiple source drive line positioning subunits 221. The first end of the source drive line positioning subunit 221 is connected to the first end of the source drive line 300, the second end of the source drive line positioning subunit 221 is connected to the display module 400 and the display driving module 100 respectively, and the third end of the source drive line positioning subunit 221 is connected to the circuit breaker positioning unit 210.

[0046] In other words, each source drive line 300 corresponds to a source drive line positioning subunit 221. The circuit breaker positioning unit 210, through the on / off state of the source drive line positioning subunit 221, enables the source drive line 300 that is in a circuit breaker corresponding to the source drive line positioning subunit 221 to be connected to the display driving module 100 through the source drive line positioning subunit 221, so that the display driving module 100 drives the display area corresponding to the source drive line 300 in a circuit breaker to display through the source drive line positioning subunit 221, thereby repairing the vertical line defects caused by the circuit breaker of the source drive line 300.

[0047] like Figures 2-4 As shown, in one possible embodiment of this application, the display driver module 100 may include a first repair output unit 110 and a second repair output unit 120.

[0048] The first repair output unit 110 is connected to the second repair output unit 120 and the second end of the source drive line positioning unit 220, respectively.

[0049] In other words, a first repair output unit 110 and a second repair output unit 120 can be set in the display driver module 100, i.e. Figure 2In the event of a fault in the source drive line 300, D1 and D2 can reconnect the faulty source drive line 300 to the first repair output unit 110 and the second repair output unit 120 through the source drive line positioning unit 220. This allows the first repair output unit 110 and the second repair output unit 120 to drive the display area corresponding to the faulty source drive line 300 through the source drive line positioning unit 220, thereby improving repair efficiency.

[0050] In one possible embodiment of this application, the source drive line positioning unit 220 may include a plurality of source drive line positioning subunits 221, and the source drive line positioning subunits 221 include transistors.

[0051] The transistor's gate is connected to the circuit breaker positioning unit 210, its drain is connected to the second end of the source driving line 300, and its source is connected to the first repair output unit 110 and the second repair output unit 120, respectively.

[0052] In this embodiment, a transistor is used to control the connection between the source drive line 300 and the first repair output unit 110 and the second repair output unit 120.

[0053] When there is no problem with the display, the circuit breaker positioning unit 210 controls the gate of the transistor to be in a high-level state, so that all transistors are in a cut-off state, i.e., in an open-circuit state. When there is a problem with the display and the repair mode is entered, the circuit breaker positioning unit 210 controls the gate of the transistor corresponding to the open-circuit source drive line 300 to be in a low-level state, so that the transistor is in a saturated state, so that the open-circuit source drive line 300 is connected to the first repair output unit 110 and the second repair output unit 120 of the display drive module 100 through the transistor. The first repair output unit 110 and the second repair output unit 120 output driving voltage, which is output to the open-circuit source drive line 300 through the transistor, so that the display area corresponding to the open-circuit source drive line 300 displays.

[0054] Alternatively, the transistor can be a thin-film transistor (TFT).

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment of this application, the source drive line S8 is in an open-circuit state, and the open circuit occurs at open-circuit position 500. When entering repair mode, the open-circuit positioning unit 210 controls the transistor connected to S8 to conduct, and the drive voltages output by D1 and D2 are input to S8 through this transistor to drive the display area corresponding to S8 for display. The voltage transmission path is as follows: Figure 4 The direction of flow indicated by the dashed arrow.

[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, in one possible embodiment of this application, the transistor may include: a substrate layer 601, a buffer layer 602, a doped layer 603, a gate insulating layer 604, a planarization layer 605 and an encapsulation layer 606 stacked sequentially.

[0057] The doped layer 603 includes a P-type doped layer 6031 and an N-type doped layer 6032; the gate insulating layer includes a gate 6041, and source 6042 and drain 6043 located on both sides of the gate; the planarization layer includes a first via 6051 located above the source 6042 and a second via 6052 located above the drain 6043. The first via 6051 is used to connect to the first repair output unit 110 and the second repair output unit 120, and the second via 6052 is used to connect to the second end of the source driving line 300.

[0058] Both the source 6042 and drain 6043 can use metal layer 1, such as molybdenum-aluminum-molybdenum (Mo / Al / Mo), or metal layer 2, such as titanium-aluminum-titanium (Ti / Al / Ti). A photomask corresponding to either metal layer 1 or metal layer 2 can be used to design a connection between the first via 6051 and the first repair output unit 110 and the second repair output unit 120, and a connection between the photomask and the second end of the source drive line 300 via a second via. The transistor provided in this embodiment does not require an additional photomask.

[0059] This application also provides an electronic device, including the display module provided in any of the above embodiments. It achieves the same technical effects, and to avoid repetition, it will not be described again here.

[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, this application provides a display method applied to the electronic device provided in the above embodiments. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the display method may include the content shown in S601 to S602.

[0061] In S601, when an electronic device receives a display request, the display driver module drives multiple source driver lines within the display module to enable the display module to perform a display.

[0062] In other words, when an electronic device receives a display request and there is no malfunction, the display driver module directly drives multiple source driver lines within the display module to enable the display module to perform a display.

[0063] In S602, when an open circuit is detected in the first source drive line, the display drive module drives the display area corresponding to the first source drive line to display through the repair module. The display module includes the display area.

[0064] In other words, when a display problem occurs, such as a faulty vertical line, and a break in the first source drive line is detected, the display driver module can use the repair module to drive the display area corresponding to the first source drive line to display.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the electronic device receives a display request, the display driver module drives multiple source driver lines within the display module to enable the display module to display. If a first source driver line is detected to be open-circuited, the display driver module uses a repair module to drive the display area corresponding to the first source driver line to display. This embodiment allows the display driver module to drive the display area corresponding to the open-circuited source driver line through the repair module, thus repairing vertical line defects in the display module without disassembly, improving repair efficiency.

[0066] In one possible implementation of this application, when an open circuit is detected in the first source drive line, the display drive module drives the display area corresponding to the first source drive line to display through the repair module. This may include: when an open circuit is detected in the first source drive line, controlling the first source drive line positioning subunit corresponding to the first source drive line to be turned on through the open circuit positioning unit in the repair module; and the display drive module drives the display area corresponding to the first source drive line to display through the first source drive line positioning subunit.

[0067] In this embodiment, the circuit breaker positioning unit is used to control the on / off state of each source drive line positioning subunit. By controlling the source drive line positioning subunit corresponding to the broken source drive line to be turned on by the circuit breaker positioning unit, the source drive line positioning subunit can be connected to the broken source drive line, thereby enabling the display driving module to drive the display area corresponding to the broken source drive line through the source drive line positioning subunit to display, thus avoiding vertical line defects.

[0068] In one possible embodiment of this application, the display driving module drives the display area corresponding to the first source driving line to display through the first source driving line positioning subunit. This may include: the first repair output unit and the second repair output unit in the display driving module outputting voltage signals; and transmitting the voltage signals to the first source driving line through the first source driving line positioning subunit to drive the display area corresponding to the first source driving line to display.

[0069] In other words, a first repair output unit and a second repair output unit can be set in the display driver module. In the event of a source drive line failure, the faulty source drive line can be reconnected to the first repair output unit and the second repair output unit through the source drive line positioning subunit. This allows the first repair output unit and the second repair output unit to drive the display area corresponding to the faulty source drive line through the source drive line positioning subunit, thereby improving repair efficiency.

[0070] In one possible embodiment of this application, the display method may further include: when the electronic device receives a display request, the circuit breaker positioning unit in the repair module controls each transistor in the source drive line positioning unit to be in a cut-off state; when a first source drive line is detected to be open, the circuit breaker positioning unit controls the first transistor in the source drive line positioning unit corresponding to the first source drive line to be turned on, and the first repair output unit and the second repair output unit in the display driving module output voltage signals, which are transmitted to the first source drive line through the first transistor.

[0071] In other words, this embodiment uses the switching on and off of transistors to control the connection between the open-circuit source drive line and the display drive module. When there is no display problem, the open-circuit positioning unit controls the transistor gate to be at a high level, causing all transistors to be in the off state, i.e., in an open-circuit state. When a display problem occurs and the repair mode is entered, the open-circuit positioning unit controls the gate of the transistor corresponding to the open-circuit source drive line to be at a low level, causing the transistor to be in a saturated state. This allows the open-circuit source drive line to connect to the first repair output unit and the second repair output unit of the display drive module through the transistor. The first and second repair output units output drive voltages, which are then output to the open-circuit source drive line through the transistor, enabling the display area corresponding to the open-circuit source drive line to display.

[0072] like Figure 7 As shown, this application provides a display device applied to the electronic device provided in the above embodiments. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the display device includes a first driving module 701 and a second driving module 702.

[0073] The first driving module 701 is used to drive multiple source driving lines in the display module to enable the display module to display when the electronic device receives a display request; the second driving module 702 is used to drive the display area corresponding to the first source driving line to display through a repair module when a first source driving line is detected to be open-circuited. The display module includes a display area.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the electronic device receives a display request, the first driving module 701 drives multiple source driving lines within the display module to enable the display module to display. If an open circuit is detected in the first source driving line, the second driving module 702 drives the display area corresponding to the first source driving line to display via a repair module. This embodiment allows the second driving module to drive the display area corresponding to the open-circuited source driving line via the repair module, thus repairing vertical line defects in the display module without disassembly, improving repair efficiency.

[0075] It is worth noting that the electronic device may include a display module, which includes a display driver module. The display driver module may include the first driver module and the second driver module in this embodiment.

[0076] In one possible embodiment of this application, the second driving module 702 is used to: control the first source driving line positioning subunit corresponding to the first source driving line to be turned on by the circuit breaker positioning unit in the repair module when the first source driving line is detected to be open; and drive the display area corresponding to the first source driving line to be displayed by the first source driving line positioning subunit.

[0077] In one possible embodiment of this application, the second driving module 702 is used to: display voltage signals output by the first repair output unit and the second repair output unit in the display driving module; and transmit the voltage signals to the first source driving line through the first source driving line positioning subunit to drive the display area corresponding to the first source driving line to display.

[0078] In one possible implementation of this application, the first driving module 701 is configured to: when the electronic device receives a display request, control the circuit breaker positioning unit in the repair module to ensure that each transistor in the source driving line positioning unit is in a cut-off state.

[0079] The second driving module 702 is used to: when a first source driving line is detected to be open, the open circuit positioning unit controls the first transistor corresponding to the first source driving line in the source driving line positioning unit to be turned on, and the first repair output unit and the second repair output unit in the display driving module output voltage signals, which are then transmitted to the first source driving line through the first transistor.

[0080] The display device in this application embodiment can be a device, or a component, integrated circuit, or chip in a terminal. The device can be a mobile electronic device or a non-mobile electronic device. For example, mobile electronic devices can be mobile phones, tablets, laptops, PDAs, in-vehicle electronic devices, wearable devices, ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPCs), netbooks, or personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc., while non-mobile electronic devices can be servers, network-attached storage (NAS), personal computers (PCs), televisions (TVs), ATMs, or self-service machines, etc. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0081] The display device in this application embodiment can be a device with an operating system. This operating system can be Android, iOS, or other possible operating systems; this application embodiment does not specifically limit the specific operating system used.

[0082] The display device provided in this application embodiment can achieve... Figure 6 The various processes implemented in the method embodiments achieve the same technical effect, and will not be described again here to avoid repetition.

[0083] Optionally, such as Figure 8 As shown, this application embodiment also provides an electronic device 800, including a processor 801, a memory 802, and a program or instructions stored in the memory 802 and executable on the processor 801. When the program or instructions are executed by the processor 801, they implement the various processes of the above-described display method embodiment and achieve the same technical effect. To avoid repetition, they will not be described again here.

[0084] It should be noted that the electronic devices in the embodiments of this application include the mobile electronic devices and non-mobile electronic devices described above.

[0085] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of an electronic device according to various embodiments of this application.

[0086] The electronic device 900 includes, but is not limited to, components such as: radio frequency unit 901, network module 902, audio output unit 903, input unit 904, sensor 905, display unit 906, user input unit 907, interface unit 908, memory 909, and processor 910.

[0087] Those skilled in the art will understand that the electronic device 900 may also include a power supply (such as a battery) for supplying power to various components. The power supply may be logically connected to the processor 910 through a power management system, thereby enabling functions such as managing charging, discharging, and power consumption through the power management system. Figure 9 The electronic device structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the electronic device. The electronic device may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements, which will not be elaborated here.

[0088] The processor 910 is configured to, when the electronic device receives a display request, drive multiple source drive lines within the display module to enable the display module to display; and when a first source drive line is detected to be open-circuited, drive the display area corresponding to the first source drive line to display via a repair module. The display module includes a display area.

[0089] In this embodiment, when the electronic device receives a display request, the display driver module drives multiple source driver lines within the display module to enable the display module to display. If a first source driver line is detected to be open-circuited, the display driver module uses a repair module to drive the display area corresponding to the first source driver line to display. This embodiment allows the display driver module to drive the display area corresponding to the open-circuited source driver line through the repair module, thus repairing vertical line defects in the display module without disassembly, improving repair efficiency.
