Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of display panel technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device, and medium for analyzing display panel driving malfunctions. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of technology, display devices are being used in all aspects of life, bringing great convenience to people's lives.
[0003] Currently, display panel technology is mature, but in actual production, various processes may still produce some defects, which may manifest as defects such as spots, lines, mura, and image defects in the display. Analyzing the types of defects, finding the causes, and classifying them are important for subsequent repairs and improving product yield.
[0004] In related technologies, products with poor performance are classified and repaired based on experience. If they still cannot display normally, they are discarded. This not only causes great waste, but also fails to attribute the cause of the poor display and lacks a unified repair guide for products that fail again, thus reducing repair efficiency and yield. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method, apparatus, device, and medium for analyzing defects in display panel drivers, so as to analyze the causes of defects that occur during the display panel manufacturing process and improve product yield.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] Firstly, a method for analyzing display panel driver malfunctions is provided, including:
[0008] The system acquires the first defective images corresponding to multiple products and classifies them based on a preset defective image library. If the first defective image is the same as or nearly the same as a defective image in the preset defective image library, it is classified as a repairable first-class defective image; otherwise, it is classified as an unrepairable second-class defective image.
[0009] The system obtains a second image to be analyzed after repairing the product corresponding to the first type of defective image. If the second image to be analyzed is different from the normal image, it is classified as the first type of product. The system obtains the first coordinate of the defective location of the first type of product based on the second image to be analyzed. The system then traverses the drive circuit of the display panel along the direction of the first straight line based on the first coordinate and the first preset number of traversal coordinates to analyze the cause of the defect in the first type of product.
[0010] The third image to be analyzed is obtained when the product corresponding to the second type of defective image undergoes a relighting test after the light-lighting machine is replaced. If the third image to be analyzed is the same as the first image to be analyzed, it is classified as the second type of product. Based on the second preset number of traversal coordinates, the drive circuit of the display panel is traversed from the top or bottom corner of the display panel to the opposite corner along the direction of the first straight line to analyze the cause of the defect of the second type of product. The direction of the first straight line is parallel to the direction from the top to the bottom of the display panel.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the display panel driver defect analysis method, the preset defective screen library includes at least a first screen, a second screen, a third screen, and a fourth screen;
[0012] The defect in the first image is a non-lit ray that starts from the left or right side of the display panel and ends in the middle of the display panel;
[0013] The defect in the second image is a rectangular shadow that starts from the left or right side of the display panel, ends at the center of the display panel where there is no light, and radiates outwards to the bottom of the display panel.
[0014] The defect in the third image is a dark straight line running from the left to the right side of the display panel;
[0015] The defect in the fourth image is a dark straight line running from the left to the right of the display panel, radiating from the dark straight line toward the top of the display panel, and simultaneously forming a rectangular shadow radiating from the left or right side of the display panel toward the center of the display panel.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the display panel driver malfunction analysis method, after obtaining the third image to be analyzed—the image of the product corresponding to the second type of malfunction image after the lighting test is repeated following the replacement of the lighting indicator—it further includes:
[0017] If the third image to be analyzed is different from the first image to be analyzed, then for the products corresponding to the second type of defective images, the step of reclassifying and dividing them based on the third image to be analyzed and the preset defective image library is returned, and at the same time the cleaning equipment is controlled to clean the original signal light machine.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the display panel driver defect analysis method, before obtaining the second image to be analyzed after the product corresponding to the first type of defective image has been repaired, the method further includes:
[0019] Based on the first image to be analyzed, obtain the third coordinates of the product corresponding to the first type of defective image;
[0020] The laser repair equipment, controlled by the third coordinate, performs laser repair on the drive circuit of the product corresponding to the first type of defective image.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the display panel driver failure analysis method, the step of traversing the display panel's driver circuit along the direction of the first straight line based on the first coordinate and a first preset number of traversal coordinates to analyze the cause of failure for the first type of product includes:
[0022] Along the direction of the first straight line, the driving circuit of the display panel is traversed upward from the first coordinate by a first preset number of traversal coordinates and / or downward by a first preset number of traversal coordinates to confirm whether any actual defects are found.
[0023] If an actual defect is found, the type of the actual defect and its location between layers in the display panel are obtained to determine the cause of the defect.
[0024] If no actual defects are found, thermal imaging is performed on the driving circuit of the display panel, and the cause of the defect is identified based on a preset normal thermal imaging image.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment of the display panel driver failure analysis method, the driver circuit of the display panel is traversed from the top or bottom corner of the display panel to the opposite corner along the direction of the first straight line, based on a second preset number of traversal coordinates, to perform failure cause analysis on the second type of product, including:
[0026] From the top corner of the display panel towards the bottom, or from the bottom corner of the display panel towards the top, the driving circuit of the display panel is traversed a second preset number of traversal coordinates to confirm whether any actual defects are found.
[0027] If an actual defect is found, the type of the actual defect and its location between layers in the display panel are obtained to determine the cause of the defect.
[0028] If no actual defects are found, thermal imaging is performed on the driving circuit of the display panel, and the cause of the defect is identified based on a preset normal thermal imaging image.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the display panel driving defect analysis method, after obtaining the type of the actual defect and its interlayer location in the display panel, the method further includes: establishing an actual defect analysis mapping table.
[0030] The establishment of the actual defect analysis mapping table includes:
[0031] Obtain the type and interlayer location of N consecutive historical actual defects in the display panel;
[0032] If the type of actual defect and its interlayer location in the display panel are the same in more than the first threshold number of N detections, or if the type of actual defect and its interlayer location in the display panel are the same in the second consecutive threshold number of detections, then it is determined that the corresponding layer manufacturing process of the display panel has introduced a defect.
[0033] An actual defect analysis mapping table is created based on the type of actual defect, its interlayer location in the display panel, and the manufacturing process, where N is a positive integer.
[0034] Secondly, a display panel driver malfunction analysis device is provided, comprising:
[0035] The classification module is used to acquire the first defective images to be analyzed corresponding to multiple products, and classify the first defective images to be analyzed based on a preset defective image library; wherein, if the first defective image to be analyzed is the same as or nearly the same as the defective images in the preset defective image library, it is classified as a repairable first type of defective image; otherwise, it is classified as an unrepairable second type of defective image.
[0036] The first analysis module is used to obtain the second image to be analyzed after the product corresponding to the first type of defective image has been repaired. If the second image to be analyzed is different from the normal image, it is classified as the first type of product. The first coordinate of the defective position of the first type of product is obtained based on the second image to be analyzed. The driving circuit of the display panel is traversed along the direction of the first straight line based on the first coordinate and the first preset number of traversal coordinates to analyze the cause of the defect of the first type of product.
[0037] The second analysis module is used to obtain the third image to be analyzed of the product corresponding to the second type of defective image after the lighting test is repeated after the lighting machine is replaced. If the third image to be analyzed is the same as the first image to be analyzed, it is classified as the second type of product. Based on the second preset number of traversal coordinates, the drive circuit of the display panel is traversed from the corner of the top or bottom of the display panel to the corner of the opposite side along the direction of the first straight line to analyze the cause of the defect of the second type of product. The direction of the first straight line is parallel to the direction from the top to the bottom of the display panel.
[0038] Thirdly, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device comprising:
[0039] At least one processor; and
[0040] A memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein,
[0041] The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by the at least one processor, which enables the at least one processor to perform the display panel driver malfunction analysis method according to any embodiment of the present invention.
[0042] Fourthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a processor to execute the display panel driver malfunction analysis method according to any embodiment of the present invention.
[0043] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: According to the real-time display panel driver defect analysis method, apparatus, device, and medium provided by the present invention, the method includes: acquiring a first screen to be analyzed corresponding to defects of multiple products, and classifying the first screen to be analyzed based on a preset defect screen library; wherein, if the first screen to be analyzed is the same as or nearly the same as a defect screen in the preset defect screen library, it is classified as a repairable first type of defect screen; otherwise, it is classified as an unrepairable second type of defect screen; acquiring a second screen to be analyzed after repairing the product corresponding to the first type of defect screen; if the second screen to be analyzed is different from the normal screen, it is classified as a first type of product; and acquiring the first type of product defects based on the second screen to be analyzed. The system firstly identifies the location's coordinates and then traverses the display panel's drive circuit along the direction of a first straight line based on these coordinates and a preset number of traversal coordinates to analyze the causes of defects in the first category of products. It then obtains the third image to be analyzed for the second category of defective images, obtained after the product undergoes a re-lighting test following a replacement of the indicator light. If the third image is identical to the first image, it is classified as a second category product. Finally, based on a second preset number of traversal coordinates, the system traverses the display panel's drive circuit from the top or bottom corner of the display panel towards the opposite corner along the direction of the first straight line to analyze the causes of defects in the second category of products. The direction of the first straight line is parallel to the direction from the top to the bottom of the display panel. This allows for timely identification and classification of defect causes, enabling repairs and improving product yield.

[0053] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0054] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0055] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for analyzing display panel driving malfunctions; Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a display panel driver malfunction analysis method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the analytical method includes:
[0056] S101, obtain the first defective screen to be analyzed corresponding to multiple products, and classify the first defective screen to be analyzed based on the preset defective screen library; if the first defective screen to be analyzed is the same as or nearly the same as the defective screen in the preset defective screen library, it is classified as a repairable first type of defective screen; otherwise, it is classified as an unrepairable second type of defective screen.
[0057] The preset defective image library contains representative defective images caused by dead pixels in the display panel's drive circuit, collected based on historical experience. After the lamp test, a first defective image to be analyzed can be obtained. If this first image is one of those in the preset defective image library, or similar to one of those images (for example, if one image in the library is a straight line from left to right, then if they are identical, the first image to be analyzed will display exactly the same image, i.e., the coordinates of the line are the same; if they are similar, then the defect in the first image to be analyzed will also be a straight line from left to right, but the coordinates of the line will be different from those in the preset defective image library), then it indicates that the product corresponding to this first image to be analyzed has a defect caused by the drive circuit. The drive circuit can then be repaired immediately. Therefore, this type of repairable first image to be analyzed is classified as a first category of defective images.
[0058] Furthermore, if the first screen to be analyzed is completely different from or dissimilar to any screen in the preset defective screen library, it indicates that the product corresponding to the first screen to be analyzed has a defect caused by other reasons. Since the cause cannot be clearly identified, it cannot be repaired temporarily. Therefore, this type of temporarily unrepairable second screen to be analyzed is classified as a second type of defective screen, and the cause of the defect will be further analyzed later.
[0059] S102, obtain the second screen to be analyzed after repairing the product corresponding to the first type of defective screen. If the second screen to be analyzed is different from the normal screen, it is classified as the first type of product. Obtain the first coordinate of the defective position of the first type of product based on the second screen to be analyzed. Traverse the driving circuit of the display panel along the direction of the first straight line based on the first coordinate and the first preset traversal coordinate number to analyze the cause of the defect of the first type of product.
[0060] Understandably, after classifying the first set of defective images to be analyzed, products corresponding to the first category of defective images that can be repaired immediately are repaired. After repair, a re-lighting test is performed to obtain the corresponding second set of defective images to be analyzed. If the second set of defective images is the same as the normal image, it indicates that the display is normal, meaning the defective pixels in the display panel's drive circuit have been repaired, and the product is considered a good product. Here, the normal image is the display image of a good product. If the second set of defective images is different from the normal image, for example, if it is still the same as the first set of defective images, it indicates that although the drive circuit of the display panel has been repaired, the repair has not resolved the display defect. This suggests that there may be other reasons for the display defect, or that the repaired drive circuit is not located at the location of the drive circuit causing the display defect.
[0061] Therefore, for the first type of product that still displays poorly after repair, it is necessary to traverse the display panel's drive circuit along the direction of the first straight line based on the first coordinate and the first preset number of traversal coordinates to find the true cause of the display malfunction. How to find the true cause of the display malfunction will be explained further in the following content.
[0062] S103, obtain the third image to be analyzed for the product corresponding to the second type of defective image after the light-lighting machine is replaced and the light-lighting test is performed again. If the third image to be analyzed is the same as the first image to be analyzed, it is classified as the second type of product. Based on the second preset number of traversal coordinates, traverse the drive circuit of the display panel from the corner point of the top or bottom of the display panel to the corner point on the opposite side along the direction of the first straight line to analyze the cause of the defect for the second type of product. The direction of the first straight line is parallel to the direction from the top to the bottom of the display panel.
[0063] Understandably, for products corresponding to the second type of defective display, the cause of the defect is analyzed by replacing the indicator light and retesting these products to rule out whether the defect is caused by poor contact between the indicator light and the product or other reasons. If, after replacing the indicator light, the third image to be analyzed for the products corresponding to the second type of defective display still displays poorly and is the same as the first image to be analyzed, then it indicates that the display defect is not caused by the indicator light, but by other internal reasons within these products. As for the cause, based on the second preset number of traversal coordinates, the drive circuit of the display panel is traversed from the top or bottom corner of the display panel to the opposite corner along the direction of the first straight line to analyze the cause of the defect for the second type of product. This part will be further introduced in the following content.
[0064] In addition, as a preferred embodiment of the display panel driver malfunction analysis method, after obtaining the third image to be analyzed (the image corresponding to the second type of malfunction, after the product undergoes a re-lighting test following replacement of the light-emitting device), the method further includes:
[0065] If the third screen to be analyzed is different from the first screen to be analyzed, then for the products corresponding to the second type of defective screen, the process of reclassifying and dividing them based on the third screen to be analyzed and the preset defective screen library is returned, and at the same time the cleaning equipment is controlled to clean the origin light machine.
[0066] In other words, if the product still displays poorly after replacing the signal ignition machine, but the displayed image (the third image to be analyzed) differs from the first image to be analyzed on the same display panel previously tested, then the poor display on that panel is partly due to a problem with the signal ignition machine. Therefore, the original signal ignition machine needs to be cleaned. That is, after identifying the cause of the problem, the signal ignition machine causing the display malfunction is repaired to prevent further display problems caused by the signal ignition machine. Simultaneously, the products that still display poorly are reclassified based on the third image to be analyzed and a preset database of faulty images to reassess whether they are repairable or not.
[0067] In other words, if the third image to be analyzed is one of the images in the preset defective image library, or is similar to one of the images in the preset defective image library, then it indicates that the product corresponding to the third image to be analyzed has a defect caused by the drive circuit, and is classified as a first-class defective image. After repair and re-evaluation, if the product still displays a defective image, it is classified as a first-class defective image. If the third image to be analyzed is completely different from or completely dissimilar to an image in the preset defective image library, then it is classified as a second-class defective image. Since a lamp-lighting test has just been performed, if a different lamp-lighting machine is used for testing, the displayed image will most likely be the same as the third image to be analyzed. Therefore, the product corresponding to the second-class defective image can be directly classified as a second-class product without changing the lamp-lighting test.
[0068] Next, the reasons for the display defects of the first and second types of products will be further analyzed.
[0069] In summary, by using a pre-set defective image library, defective images were categorized, and different causes of defects were analyzed for each category. During this process, repairable defective products were repaired, while unrepairable defective products were analyzed for external causes, specifically whether the indicator light machine was causing the display failure. Further analysis was then conducted on the first and second categories of products that still exhibited display failures. Consequently, some products with display failures were repaired, and some were re-inspected with replaced indicator lights. This process identified products that displayed correctly after repair, as well as those that were falsely detected despite already having good display quality, thus improving the product yield.
[0070] As a preferred solution for display panel driver malfunction analysis methods, such as Figures 2 to 5As shown, the preset bad screen library includes at least the first screen, the second screen, the third screen, and the fourth screen;
[0071] The defects in the first screen start from the left or right side of the display panel and end at the dark ray in the middle of the display panel;
[0072] The defects in the second image are rectangular shadows that start from the left or right side of the display panel, end at the center of the display panel where no light shines, and radiate outwards to the bottom of the display panel.
[0073] The defect in the third image is a dark straight line running from the left to the right side of the display panel;
[0074] The defect in the fourth image is a dark straight line running from the left to the right of the display panel, radiating from the dark straight line to the top of the display panel, and simultaneously forming a rectangular shadow radiating from the left or right side of the display panel to the center of the display panel.
[0075] Understandable, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the first screen in the preset defective screen library in the display panel driver defect analysis method provided in this embodiment of the invention. Figure 2 As shown, in the first image, the defect starts at point A on the right side of the display panel and ends at the unlit ray in the center of the display panel. Since the driving circuits in the display panel are generally located on the left and right sides, when the first image or a similar image appears in the first image to be analyzed, it can be assumed that point A in the right-side driving circuit of the display panel is faulty. Figure 2 The malfunction in the display is assumed to be caused by a fault at point A in the right-side drive circuit of the display panel.
[0076] In another example, the defect in the first image could also be a non-lit ray starting from the left side of the display panel and ending in the center of the display panel. This defect is assumed to be caused by a fault at that point in the left-side drive circuit of the display panel. It should be noted that the defect in the first image is a line defect caused by a fault at point A. For example, it could be due to a problem with the voltage transmitted to the faulty row in the drive circuit, preventing the pixels in that row from lighting up.
[0077] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the second screen in the preset defective screen library in the display panel driver defect analysis method provided in this embodiment of the invention. Figure 3 As shown, in the second image, the defect originates from point B on the right side of the display panel, ends at a non-lit ray in the center of the display panel, and radiates outwards to the bottom of the display panel, forming a rectangular shadow. Therefore, when the second image or a similar image appears on the first image to be analyzed, it can be assumed that point B in the right-side drive circuit of the display panel is faulty. Figure 3 The malfunction in the display is assumed to be caused by a fault at point B of the right-side drive circuit in the display panel.
[0078] In another example, the defect in the second image could also be a rectangular shadow formed by a non-lit ray starting from the left side of the display panel, ending in the center of the display panel, and radiating towards the bottom of the display panel. This defect is assumed to be caused by a fault at that point in the left-side drive circuit of the display panel. It should be noted that the defect in the second image is a surface defect caused by a fault at point B. For example, it's possible that a component in the drive circuit that transmits signals downwards has an open circuit, preventing the corresponding signal from being transmitted downwards from point B.
[0079] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the third screen in the preset defective screen library in the display panel driver defect analysis method provided in this embodiment of the invention. Figure 4 As shown, the defect in the third image is a non-lit straight line running from the left to the right side of the display panel. When the first image to be analyzed displays a third image or a similar third image, it can be assumed that point E in the left-side drive circuit and / or point F in the right-side drive circuit of the display panel is faulty. In other words, Figure 4 The default cause of the defective display is assumed to be a fault in point E of the left-side drive circuit and / or point F of the right-side drive circuit in the display panel. It should be noted that the defect in the third display is a line defect caused by a fault in point E and / or point F.
[0080] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the fourth screen in the preset defective screen library in the display panel driver defect analysis method provided in this embodiment of the invention. Figure 5 As shown, the defect in the fourth image is a non-lit straight line running from the left to the right of the display panel, radiating towards the top of the display panel, and simultaneously forming a rectangular shadow radiating from the right side of the display panel towards the center. In this case, when the first image to be analyzed displays a fourth image or a similar fourth image, it can be assumed that point D in the left-side drive circuit of the display panel may be faulty, and point C in the right-side drive circuit may be faulty. That is to say, Figure 5 The default assumption for a defective display is that a fault may be present at point D in the left-side drive circuit of the display panel, or at point C in the right-side drive circuit. It should be noted that the defect in the fourth display is caused by a fault at point C, or a fault at both points C and D.
[0081] In another example, the defect in the fourth frame could also be a dark straight line running from the left to the right of the display panel, radiating from the dark straight line toward the top of the display panel, and simultaneously forming a rectangular shadow radiating from the left side of the display panel toward the center of the display panel.
[0082] Understandably, the aforementioned pre-set fault image library is compiled based on historical experience by collecting fault images commonly encountered in drive circuit malfunctions. Whether the fault is caused by a single point (line or image), or by two points (line or image), the specific causes can be predicted in advance based on experience. Therefore, when the first image to be analyzed matches the image type in the pre-set fault image library, the fault in the drive circuit can be identified and repaired promptly.
[0083] As a preferred embodiment of the display panel driver defect analysis method, before obtaining the second image to be analyzed after repairing the product corresponding to the first type of defective image, the method further includes:
[0084] Based on the first image to be analyzed, obtain the third coordinate of the product corresponding to the first type of defective image (this can be obtained by observation under a microscope);
[0085] The laser repair equipment based on the third coordinate control performs laser repair on the drive circuit of the product corresponding to the first type of defective image.
[0086] After obtaining the third coordinate, the row position in the drive circuit can be accurately located, thereby controlling the laser repair equipment to perform laser repair on the drive circuit of the product corresponding to the first type of defective image.
[0087] The following is a cause analysis for the first type of products that still exhibit display problems after repair.
[0088] As a preferred embodiment of the display panel driver failure analysis method, the driver circuit of the display panel is traversed along the direction of the first straight line based on the first coordinate and the first preset number of traversal coordinates to analyze the cause of failure for the first type of product, including:
[0089] Along the direction of the first straight line, the driving circuit of the display panel is traversed upward from the first coordinate by a first preset number of traversal coordinates and / or downward by a first preset number of traversal coordinates to confirm whether any actual defects are found.
[0090] If an actual defect is found, the type of the defect and its location between layers in the display panel are obtained to determine the cause of the defect.
[0091] If no actual defects are found, thermal imaging is used to perform thermal imaging on the driving circuit of the display panel, and the cause of the defect is identified based on the preset normal thermal imaging image.
[0092] In other words, if a second image to be analyzed still displays a defect after repair (likely the same as the first image), then the laser repair location may not be the cause of the fault. Therefore, using the first coordinate (obtained through microscopic observation, where the third coordinate is the same as the first when the second image is identical) as a baseline, the search area is expanded upwards or downwards. If the actual defect is found after expanding the search area, its type and interlayer location in the display panel can be analyzed to determine the cause of the defect. This defect type might be foreign matter or static electricity; foreign matter could be dust or metal particles. After discovering the defect, its type needs to be analyzed (through component analysis and microscopic observation) for classification. Otherwise, thermal imaging is used to determine the cause of the defect.
[0093] For example, the first preset number of traversal coordinates can be 5 pixels. If the first coordinate point is the 50th pixel from top to bottom, and the defective image is the first image, then the traversal can proceed sequentially upwards from the 50th pixel, traversing up to a maximum of 5 pixels. If an actual defect is found (which can be confirmed by microscopic observation), the actual defect type and its interlayer location in the display panel are obtained to determine the cause of the defect. If no actual defect is found (which can be confirmed by microscopic observation), the traversal continues sequentially downwards from the 50th pixel, traversing up to a maximum of 5 pixels. If an actual defect is found, the actual defect type and its interlayer location in the display panel are obtained to determine the cause of the defect. If no actual defect is found, the cause of the defect is determined using thermal imaging.
[0094] The following is a cause analysis for the second type of products that still have display problems after relighting the lights.
[0095] As a preferred embodiment of a display panel driver defect analysis method, based on a second preset number of traversal coordinates, the driver circuit of the display panel is traversed from the top or bottom corner of the display panel to the opposite corner along the direction of the first straight line to analyze the cause of defects in the second type of product, including:
[0096] From the top corner of the display panel towards the bottom, or from the bottom corner of the display panel towards the top, the driving circuit of the display panel is traversed a second preset number of traversal coordinates to confirm whether any actual defects are found.
[0097] If an actual defect is found, the type of the defect and its location between layers in the display panel are obtained to determine the cause of the defect.
[0098] If no actual defects are found, thermal imaging is used to perform thermal imaging on the driving circuit of the display panel, and the cause of the defect is identified based on the preset normal thermal imaging image.
[0099] Unlike the first type of product, analyzing the causes of defects in the second type of product requires traversing the display panel's driving circuitry a second preset number of coordinates, either from the top corner of the display panel towards the bottom or from the bottom corner towards the top, to confirm whether any actual defects are found. For example, the second type of product typically exhibits full-screen display failure and a cluttered image, which may indicate problems with the driving circuitry on both sides of the display panel.
[0100] Then, starting from the top left corner of the display panel, traverse 10 pixels downwards. If an actual defect is found (which can be confirmed by observation with a microscope), obtain the type of the actual defect and its location between layers in the display panel to clarify the cause of the defect.
[0101] If no actual defect is found, continue traversing 10 pixels upwards from the bottom left corner of the display panel. If an actual defect is found (which can be confirmed by observation with a microscope), obtain the type of the actual defect and its location between layers in the display panel to determine the cause of the defect.
[0102] If no actual defect is found, traverse 10 pixels downwards from the top right corner of the display panel. If an actual defect is found (which can be confirmed by observation with a microscope), obtain the type of the actual defect and its location between layers in the display panel to determine the cause of the defect.
[0103] If no actual defect is found, traverse 10 pixels upwards from the top right corner of the display panel. If an actual defect is found (which can be confirmed by observation with a microscope), obtain the type of the actual defect and its location between layers in the display panel to determine the cause of the defect.
[0104] If no actual defect is found, the cause of the defect is determined based on the preset normal thermal imaging image.
[0105] In the two examples above, as a preferred embodiment of the display panel driver defect analysis method, after obtaining the type of actual defect and its interlayer location in the display panel, the method further includes: establishing an actual defect analysis mapping table.
[0106] The establishment of the actual defect analysis mapping table includes:
[0107] Obtain the type and interlayer location of N consecutive historical actual defects in the display panel;
[0108] If the type of actual defect and its interlayer location in the display panel are the same in more than the first threshold number of N detections, or if the type of actual defect and its interlayer location in the display panel are the same in the second consecutive threshold number of detections, then it is determined that the corresponding layer manufacturing process of the display panel has introduced a defect.
[0109] An actual defect analysis mapping table is created based on the type of actual defect, its interlayer location in the display panel, and the manufacturing process, where N is a positive integer.
[0110] In other words, during the historical discovery of actual defects, the type of the defect and its interlayer location in the display panel can be recorded, along with its sequence number. For example, if there are N samples, and the type of the historical actual defect and its interlayer location in the display panel are the same for two consecutive historical actual defects (a second threshold number of times), or if the type of the historical actual defect and its interlayer location in the display panel are detected more than the first threshold number of times in the N total samples, then the defect is categorized, and it is inferred that the actual defect may originate from the process of preparing that layer. This allows for adjustments to the process of preparing that layer to repair that type of actual defect. The first and second thresholds can be set based on the total number of samples. No specific limitations are specified here.
[0111] For example, in 100 sample display panels, samples 20 through 80 have a dust defect. Looking at a cross-section of the display panel, the dust is located at the same position between the fourth and fifth layers from top to bottom. It can be inferred that the dust originated from the process between the fourth and fifth layers. The process between the fourth and fifth layers can then be detected and adjusted to repair the dust at that location. Alternatively, in 100 sample display panels, 50 samples, not consecutively, have a dust defect, and looking at a cross-section of the display panel, the dust is located at the same position between the fourth and fifth layers from top to bottom. It can be inferred that the dust originated from the process between the fourth and fifth layers. The process between the fourth and fifth layers can then be detected and adjusted to repair the dust at that location.
