Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of display technology, in particular to the field of display panel manufacturing technology, and specifically to a display panel and a display device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of display technology, end customers have higher and higher demands for image quality, and the widespread problem of crosstalk has received particular attention.

[0003] Specifically, the common electrode in the display panel originally hopes to maintain the same potential everywhere so as to provide the same common voltage in the pixel circuits of different sub-pixels. However, there is a circuit in the display panel that is arranged opposite to the common electrode. The change of the signal transmitted in the circuit causes the potential of the common electrode to change accordingly through coupling. In addition, the degree of coupling of the common electrode in different areas such as the near end and the far end of the display panel is different, resulting in different potentials of the common electrode in different areas, so that the common voltages provided to sub-pixels at different positions are also different, resulting in crosstalk images.

[0004] In summary, the common electrodes in existing display panels have the above-mentioned problems and are in urgent need of improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the term "connection" means that the two can be directly or indirectly connected, the two can be connected with constant current, non-constant current or disconnected with constant current, and the term "electrical connection" means that the two can be connected with constant current.

[0036] In addition, it should be noted that the drawings only provide structures and / or steps that are closely related to the present invention, and some details that are not closely related to the invention are omitted. The purpose is to simplify the drawings and make the invention clear at a glance, rather than to indicate that the actual device and method are exactly the same as the attached drawings. Figure 1 Furthermore, the values ​​of size, concentration, force, temperature, etc. listed in the present invention are merely illustrations of the distances that can be, but are not limited to, the values. The values ​​can be set according to actual conditions as long as the corresponding effects are achieved.

[0037] The present invention provides a display panel, which includes but is not limited to the following embodiments and combinations of the following embodiments.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 1As shown, the display panel 100 includes: a plurality of regions, the plurality of regions including a first region A1 and a second region A2; an electrode layer 101, including a plurality of electrode portions respectively located in the plurality of regions, the plurality of electrode portions including a first electrode portion 1011 located in the first region A1 and a second electrode portion 1012 located in the second region; a compensator 102, including a plurality of compensation modules respectively corresponding to the plurality of electrode portions, the plurality of compensation modules including a first compensation module 1021 and a second compensation module 1022, the first compensation module 1021 being used to compensate for the first compensation module 1021 and the second compensation module 1022. The voltage of an electrode portion 1011, the second compensation module 1022 is used to compensate for the voltage of the second electrode portion 1012; the selector 103 includes a plurality of sub-selectors corresponding to the plurality of electrode portions respectively, the plurality of sub-selectors include a first sub-selector 1031 and a second sub-selector 1032, the first sub-selector 1031 is used to electrically connect or disconnect the first electrode portion 1011 with the first compensation module 1021, and the second sub-selector 1032 is used to electrically connect or disconnect the second electrode portion 1012 with the second compensation module 1022.

[0039] In this embodiment, the type of display panel 100 and the nature of the electrode layer 101 are not limited. For example, when the display panel 100 is a liquid crystal display panel, the electrode layer 101 may be a common electrode layer. The liquid crystal molecules may deviate by a corresponding angle under the voltage difference between the common electrode layer and the corresponding pixel electrode (whose potential is determined by the data voltage) to transmit a corresponding amount of light, so that the corresponding sub-pixel exhibits a corresponding brightness. For another example, when the display panel 100 is a self-luminous display panel, the electrode layer 101 may be a cathode layer. The light-emitting element may emit a corresponding brightness under the influence of the voltage of the cathode layer, the voltage of the corresponding anode, and the data voltage transmitted by the corresponding data line, so that the corresponding sub-pixel exhibits a corresponding brightness.

[0040] It should be noted that, for the display panel 100, the electrode layer 101 can be provided on the entire surface, or can be provided for each sub-pixel separately. However, in theory, it is expected that the potential of the portions of the electrode layer 101 located in different regions is the same, so as to provide the same potential to the sub-pixels at different positions to ensure that the brightness of the different sub-pixels is determined by the corresponding data voltage. However, in the prior art, due to the limitations of the display panel 100, the electrode layer 101 at different regions such as the proximal end (closer to the driver chip, which may include but is not limited to the compensator and gate mentioned above) and the distal end is subjected to different degrees of coupling of the transmission signal wiring, resulting in differences in the potential of the electrode layer 101 in different regions, which will cause crosstalk.

[0041] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by setting the compensator 102 to include multiple compensation modules, and each compensation module controls whether it is electrically connected to the corresponding electrode part through the corresponding sub-selector, multiple compensation modules and corresponding multiple sub-selectors and corresponding multiple compensation modules can be set in the process of manufacturing the display panel 100. In the later debugging process, a large number of compensation modules can be available for debugging, and the potential of which electrode part in which area can be adjusted according to the display situation of the test screen, that is, which sub-selectors are set to be used to electrically connect the corresponding electrode part and the corresponding compensation module, thereby avoiding the risk of display abnormalities in certain areas (caused by potential abnormalities of the corresponding electrode part) but the area is not provided with corresponding sub-selectors and corresponding compensation modules, or avoiding the need to make the corresponding sub-selectors and corresponding compensation modules again, which increases the difficulty of the process technology.

[0042] The number of the regions, the number of the electrode portions, and the number of the sub-gates are all greater than or equal to 3, and at least one of the sub-gates is used to electrically disconnect the corresponding first electrode portion from the corresponding compensation module. As discussed above, the regions, electrode portions, and sub-gates are set in a one-to-one correspondence, and the number of the three is the same. According to the debugging process of the display panel 100 before leaving the factory, it is possible to determine which sub-gates need to electrically connect or disconnect the corresponding first electrode portion from the corresponding compensation module, and perform the corresponding "electrical connection or disconnection" settings. That is, the role of the sub-gate of this embodiment is different from that of a wire that can only be used for electrical connection. Instead, it can determine whether to electrically connect or disconnect the corresponding first electrode portion from the corresponding compensation module based on the display status of the test screen. If the display of a certain area in the test screen is normal, it can be considered that the corresponding first electrode portion and the corresponding compensation module are electrically disconnected through the corresponding sub-gate, rather than electrically connected.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the gate 103 is connected between the electrode layer 101 and the input end of the compensator 102, and is used to electrically connect or disconnect the electrode layer 101 and the input end of the compensator 102; or, different from the Figure 1 As shown, the gate 103 is connected between the output end of the compensator 102 and the electrode layer 101 , and is used to electrically connect or disconnect the output end of the compensator 102 from the electrode layer 101 .

[0044] It can be understood that if the gate 103 is connected to the electrode layer 101 and the input end of the compensator 102, that is, each sub-gate is connected between the corresponding electrode part and the input end I (which may include the first input end I1 and the second input end I2) of the corresponding compensation module, if a certain area of ​​the debugging process displays normally, the sub-gate makes the input end I of the corresponding compensation module suspended, which can avoid the compensation module from performing corresponding compensation calculations based on the potential of the electrode part, and the power consumption is low; if the gate 103 is connected to the output end of the compensator 102 and the electrode layer 101, that is, each sub-gate is connected between the output end O of the corresponding compensation module and the corresponding electrode part, if a certain area of ​​the debugging process displays normally, the sub-gate makes the output end O of the corresponding compensation module suspended, which can avoid the compensation voltage after the compensation module performs corresponding compensation calculations based on the potential of the electrode part to act on the corresponding electrode part.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sub-selector includes: a first wire 1041, electrically connected to the corresponding electrode part; a second wire 1042, electrically connected to the corresponding compensation module; an optional conductive part 1043, connected between the first wire 1041 and the second wire 1042, for electrically connecting or disconnecting the first wire 1041 and the second wire 1042.

[0046] For ease of description, this embodiment uses an example in which the number of regions, the number of electrode portions, and the number of sub-selectors are all equal to 8, and each sub-selector is connected between the corresponding electrode portion and the input terminal I of the corresponding compensation module. For example, the eight regions A1 to A8 can be divided as follows: the first region A1 to the fourth region A4 are arranged in sequence from the far end to the near end in the left half of the display panel 100, and the fifth region A5 to the eighth region A8 are arranged in sequence from the far end to the near end in the right half of the display panel 100, A1 and A5 are at the same horizontal position, A2 and A6 are at the same horizontal position, A3 and A7 are at the same horizontal position, and A4 and A8 are at the same horizontal position. Of course, the present invention does not limit the number of the above-mentioned multiple regions and the division method, and the above is only an example.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in the four sub-selectors (first sub-selector 1031 to fourth sub-selector 1034) corresponding to the first area A1 to the fourth area A4, the corresponding four first wires 1041 are respectively electrically connected to the corresponding four electrode parts (first electrode part 1011 to fourth electrode part 1014), and the corresponding four second wires 1042 are respectively electrically connected to the corresponding four compensation modules (first compensation module 1021 to fourth compensation module 1024); similarly, in the four sub-selectors (fifth sub-selector 1035 to eighth sub-selector 1038) corresponding to the fifth area A5 to the eighth area A8, the corresponding four first wires 1041 and the corresponding four second wires 1042 can also refer to the relevant settings in the first sub-selector 1031 to the fourth sub-selector 1034.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first wire 1041 and the second wire 1042 in the same sub-gate can be connected by means of resistor connection. For example, the two can be connected by welding a resistor R with a low impedance (close to or equal to 0 ohm) therebetween, or disconnected by not welding the resistor R. The welding process can be performed according to the debugging result during the debugging process. At this time, the optional conductive portion 1043 is referred to as whether the resistor is welded between the first wire 1041 and the second wire 1042; Figure 3 As shown, the first wire 1041 and the second wire 1042 in the same sub-selector can be turned on or off by setting a switch. For example, a transistor M can be set between the two. One of the source and the drain of the transistor M is electrically connected to one of the first wire 1041 and the second wire 1042, and the other of the source and the drain of the transistor M is electrically connected to the other of the first wire 1041 and the second wire 1042. The gate of the transistor M is loaded with a corresponding control signal, and the corresponding transistor M is turned on or off by setting the control signal. The setting process of the above-mentioned control signal can be executed according to the debugging result in the above-mentioned debugging process. At this time, the optional conductive part 1043 is called transistor M.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the sub-selector includes: multiple input wires 1051, which correspond to the multiple electrode parts respectively, and each input wire 1051 is electrically connected to the corresponding electrode part; an output wire 1052, which is electrically connected to the corresponding compensation module; and a conduction control part 1053, which is used to electrically connect one of the multiple input wires 1051 to the output wire 1052.

[0050] Taking the number and division method of the above-mentioned multiple regions as an example, each of the four sub-selectors (the first sub-selector 1031 to the fourth sub-selector 1034) corresponding to the first region A1 to the fourth region A4 includes four input wires 1051, and one input wire 1051 is selected from each of the four sub-selectors to be electrically connected to the first electrode portion 1011, and another input wire 1051 is selected from each of the four sub-selectors to be electrically connected to the second electrode portion 1012, and another input wire 1051 is selected to be electrically connected to the third electrode portion 1012. The electrode portion 1013, and then the remaining input wire 1051 is electrically connected to the fourth electrode portion 1014, and an output wire 1052 of each of the four sub-selectors is electrically connected to a corresponding compensation module (selected from the first compensation module 1021 to the fourth compensation module 1024). The conduction control portion 1053 of each of the four sub-selectors can be a 4-to-1 data selector, which has two control terminals SW1 and SW2 (respectively loaded with two corresponding control signals, which can both be digital signals).

[0051] For any sub-gate, theoretically, the two control signals corresponding to SW1 and SW2 can be set in the following four ways:

[0052] (1) The two control signals corresponding to SW1 and SW2 are 0 and 0 respectively, indicating that the input wire 1051 corresponding to the first electrode portion 1011 is electrically connected to the output wire 1052;

[0053] (2) When the two control signals corresponding to SW1 and SW2 are 0 and 1 respectively, it means that the input wire 1051 corresponding to the second electrode portion 1012 is electrically connected to the output wire 1052;

[0054] (3) When the two control signals corresponding to SW1 and SW2 are 1 and 0 respectively, it means that the input wire 1051 corresponding to the third electrode portion 1013 is electrically connected to the output wire 1052;

[0055] (4) When the two control signals corresponding to SW1 and SW2 are 1 and 1 respectively, it means that the input wire 1051 and the output wire 1052 corresponding to the fourth electrode portion 1014 are electrically connected.

[0056] It should be noted that, in order to avoid compensation anomalies caused by the action of two or more compensation modules on the same electrode portion, each electrode portion can only be electrically connected to its corresponding compensation module at most. In this embodiment, in order to reduce the difficulty of setting, the electrical connection between the first electrode portion 1011 and the first compensation module 1021 can be achieved by setting the two control signals of the first sub-selector 1031 to the above-mentioned method (1), and the electrical connection between the second electrode portion 1012 and the second compensation module 1022 can be achieved by setting the two control signals of the second sub-selector 1032 to the above-mentioned method (2), the electrical connection between the third electrode portion 1013 and the third compensation module 1023 can be achieved by setting the two control signals of the third sub-selector 1033 to the above-mentioned method (3), and the electrical connection between the fourth electrode portion 1014 and the fourth compensation module 1024 can be achieved by setting the two control signals of the fourth sub-selector 1034 to the above-mentioned method (4); if any electrode portion and the corresponding compensation module are to be electrically disconnected, the corresponding two control signals can be unloaded with voltage (i.e., SW1 and SW2 are left floating).

[0057] Similarly, the setting process of the two control signals of each sub-gate in this embodiment can also be performed according to the debugging result during the debugging process. In this case, the conduction control unit 1053 is called a 4-to-1 data selector.

[0058] Similarly, the configuration of the multiple input conductors 1051, the output conductor 1052, and the conduction control unit 1053 of each of the four sub-gates (fifth sub-gate 1035 to eighth sub-gate 1038) corresponding to the fifth to eighth regions A5 to A8 in this embodiment can also refer to the relevant configuration of the first to fourth sub-gates 1031 to 1034. Furthermore, each of the eight sub-gates can also be configured to include eight input conductors 1051, one output conductor 1052, and a conduction control unit 1053 (in this case, it is essentially an 8-to-1 data selector). The specific configuration principles can refer to the configuration principles of the 4-to-1 data selector described above.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the display panel 100 also includes: a power manager 106 for providing an initial voltage to the electrode layer 101; a first input terminal I1 of the compensation module is connected to the first sub-electrode portion 01 in the corresponding electrode portion, a second input terminal I2 of the compensation module is electrically connected to the power manager 106 to obtain the initial voltage, and an output terminal O of the compensation module is electrically connected to the second sub-electrode portion 02 in the corresponding electrode portion, and the first sub-electrode portion 01 and the second sub-electrode portion 02 in the same electrode portion are the same or different.

[0060] As discussed above, it can be seen that the initial voltage must first be provided to the electrode layer 101 by the power manager 106 (which may also be included in the aforementioned driver chip or provided independently of the aforementioned driver chip). Then, as described in the prior art, the potential differences between portions of the electrode layer 101 located in different areas are caused by the degree of signal coupling. Based on this, in this embodiment, the input terminal I of the compensation module is further configured to include a first input terminal I1 and a second input terminal I2. The former obtains the potential of the first sub-electrode portion O1 in the electrode portion, and the latter obtains the initial voltage generated by the power manager 106. The compensation module generates a compensation voltage based on the two, which can be applied to the second sub-electrode portion O2 in the electrode portion through its output terminal O.

[0061] Among them, the first sub-electrode part 01 and the second sub-electrode part 02 in the electrode part can be different. It can be considered that the distance between the two is far, resulting in a difference in the potential presented by the two at the same time. At this time, it is understood that the compensation module uses the initial voltage as a reference and compensates the potential of the second sub-electrode part 02 according to the potential of the first sub-electrode part 01. Considering that the entire electrode layer 101 is electrically connected everywhere, the potentials of the two can be improved after compensation. After multiple detections and compensations, the potentials of the two can be closer to the initial voltage. Of course, it can also be considered that the distance between the two is close, or even that the two are the same, that is, the two are the same part located at the same position, so the first input The potential obtained by the terminal I1 can simultaneously represent the potentials of the two, and the voltage output by the output terminal O of the compensation module can be considered to compensate for the potentials of the two at the same time. Each output of the output terminal O of the compensation module is based on the potential obtained by the first input terminal I1 this time, and each time the potential obtained by the first input terminal I1 is also based on the voltage output by the output terminal O of the compensation module last time after compensating the electrode part, that is, there is always a detection before there is a corresponding compensation. Therefore, even if the first sub-electrode part 01 and the second sub-electrode part 02 are the same, at the same time, the voltage output by the output terminal O of the compensation module will not interfere with the accuracy of the potential detected by the first input terminal I1.

[0062] In some embodiments, combined Figure 5 and Figure 1The content in the figure is used as a reference. The power manager 106 is electrically connected to the electrode layer 101 through the wire 091 to provide the initial voltage to the corresponding second sub-electrode portion 02. Specifically, the display panel 100 may include a peripheral trace arranged near the edge of the electrode layer 101 as the above-mentioned "wire 091" (electrically connected to the power manager 106), and the electrode portions at different positions in the electrode layer 101 can be electrically connected to the nearest portion of the peripheral trace to receive the initial voltage. In this embodiment, it can be considered that the power manager 106 is always electrically connected to the electrode layer 101 to provide the initial voltage. Therefore, the setting of the compensation module needs to satisfy the requirement that when the voltage output by the output terminal O of the compensation module, the initial voltage, and the above-mentioned coupling effect act together on the electrode portion, the actual voltage presented by the electrode portion can be approximately equal to the initial voltage.

[0063] In some embodiments, combined Figure 6 and Figure 1 For reference, the power manager 106 is connected to the electrode layer 101 via a switch 092 to provide the initial voltage to the corresponding second sub-electrode portion 02. The switch 092 is used to electrically disconnect the power manager 106 from the electrode layer 101 when the compensation module output terminal provides the compensation voltage to the corresponding second sub-electrode portion 02. This embodiment differs from the above embodiments in that the power manager 106 can be electrically connected and disconnected from the electrode layer 101 via the switch 092. The switch 092 can also be connected to the electrode layer 101 via a connection line 093. For example, during the above debugging process, the switch 092 can be closed only when the display panel 100 is powered on to transmit the initial voltage generated by the power manager 106 to the electrode layer 101, so that the electrode layer 101 has a corresponding potential. Then, the compensation module can detect the potential of the corresponding electrode portion and generate the corresponding compensation voltage to output to the second sub-electrode portion 02. At this time, the switch 092 can be disconnected so that the electrode portion is powered only through the output terminal O of the compensation module.

[0064] It should be noted that in this embodiment, if a sub-selector is in the on state after the display panel 100 leaves the factory, then during use, the switch connected between the power manager 106 and the corresponding electrode portion can be controlled to be closed only once when the display panel 100 is powered on, and the subsequent power supply of the electrode layer 101 is provided by the corresponding compensation module; if a sub-selector is in the off state after the display panel 100 leaves the factory, then during use, the switch connected between the power manager 106 and the corresponding electrode portion is controlled to be closed all the time so that the power manager 106 supplies power to the electrode portion.

[0065] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1As shown, the gate 103 is connected between the electrode layer 101 and the input end of the compensator 102; the power manager 106 is used to provide the initial voltage to the corresponding second sub-electrode part 02 through the compensation module when no voltage is loaded on the first input end I1 of the compensation module and the corresponding first sub-electrode part 01. Different from the connection method between the power manager 106 and the electrode layer in the above two embodiments, in this embodiment, under the premise that the power manager 106 is originally electrically connected to the second input terminal I2 of the compensation module, the compensation module is configured to form a voltage follower when the electrode layer 101 is not loaded with the initial voltage (the electrode part and the corresponding first input terminal I1 also have no potential and are in a suspended state. At this time, it can be considered that the display panel 100 is just powered on before or after leaving the factory). Specifically, at this time, the voltage output by the output terminal O of the compensation module is the initial voltage loaded by the second input terminal I2. After the initial voltage acts on the electrode layer 101, each electrode part can have an actual potential to be detected by the first input terminal I1. From then on, the compensation module enters a repeated detection and compensation process, and the potential of the electrode part can be improved.

[0066] It can be understood that in this embodiment, if the sub-selector is in the on state after the display panel 100 leaves the factory, then during use, when the display panel 100 is powered on, the power manager 106 provides an initial voltage to the electrode part through the compensation module that forms a "voltage follower", and then outputs the compensation voltage to the electrode part through the compensation module; if the sub-selector is in the off state after the display panel 100 leaves the factory, then during use, the power manager 106 constantly forms the compensation module that forms a "voltage follower" to constantly provide an initial voltage to the electrode part.

[0067] Specifically, the compensation module may include an operational amplifier, and one of the inverting input terminal "-" and the non-inverting input terminal "+" of the operational amplifier may be set to one of the above-mentioned first input terminal I1 and the second input terminal I2, and the other of the inverting input terminal "-" and the non-inverting input terminal "+" may be set to the other of the above-mentioned first input terminal I1 and the second input terminal I2, and the second input terminal I2 may be electrically connected to the output terminal O through a wire. According to the working principle of the operational amplifier, during the debugging process, the resistance of the branch where the first input terminal I1 is located and the resistance of the branch where the output terminal O is located are set to be equal at the moment the display panel 100 is powered on. Since the first sub-electrode portion 01 is not loaded with voltage, the first input terminal I1 of the operational amplifier is in a floating state, and the voltage of the output terminal O (equal to the initial voltage) is transmitted to the second sub-electrode portion 02, so that the operational amplifier can detect the corresponding potential thereafter to compensate the electrode portion. During the detection and compensation process, at least one of the resistance of the branch where the first input terminal I1 is located and the resistance of the branch where the output terminal O is located can be adjusted to set a suitable compensation voltage.

[0068] Similarly, in this embodiment, if the sub-selector is in the on state after the display panel 100 leaves the factory, then during use, the resistance of the branch where the first input terminal I1 is located and the resistance of the branch where the output terminal O is located can be controlled to be equal only when the display panel 100 is powered on, and the ratio of the two is subsequently set to the ratio determined during the debugging process, so that the compensation module provides the corresponding compensation voltage to the electrode part; if the sub-selector is in the off state after the display panel 100 leaves the factory, then during use, the resistance of the branch where the first input terminal I1 is located and the resistance of the branch where the output terminal O is located can be controlled to be equal at all times, so that the power manager 106 supplies power to the electrode part.

[0069] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the first compensation module 1021 is used to generate a first compensation depth and to compensate the voltage of the first electrode portion 1011 according to the initial voltage and the first compensation depth. The second compensation module 1022 is used to generate a second compensation depth and to compensate the voltage of the second electrode portion 1012 according to the initial voltage and the second compensation depth. Further, for multiple sub-gates that are turned on, each of the corresponding multiple compensation modules can generate a corresponding compensation depth, and the two compensation depths of two different compensation modules can be the same or different. For example, when the distance between the first electrode portion 1011 and the second electrode portion 1012 is relatively far, it can be considered that the first compensation depth and the second compensation depth are different. When the distance between the two is relatively close, it can be considered that the first compensation depth and the second compensation depth are the same.

[0070] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the compensation module may include an operational amplifier, the inverting input terminal "-" of the operational amplifier may be electrically connected to the first input terminal I1 via an input resistor R2, the non-inverting input terminal "+" of the operational amplifier may be electrically connected to the second input terminal I2, and the output terminal of the operational amplifier is set to the output terminal O. The inverting input terminal "-" and the output terminal O are electrically connected via a feedback resistor R1. According to the working principle of the operational amplifier, when the inverting input terminal "-" and the non-inverting input terminal "+" are respectively loaded with corresponding voltages, the compensation voltage output by the output terminal O may be determined by combining the ratio of the input resistor R2 and the feedback resistor R1 (i.e., the corresponding compensation depth). For example, when the initial voltage (applied to the non-inverting input terminal "+") is 0 volts, the compensation voltage output by the output terminal O may be determined solely by the potential of the corresponding first sub-electrode portion O1 and the ratio of the input resistor R2 and the feedback resistor R1. During the debugging process of the display panel 100 before leaving the factory, at least one of the input resistor R2 and the feedback resistor R1 may be adjusted to adjust the corresponding compensation depth.

[0071] Of course, since compensation modules corresponding to other sub-gates that are ultimately disconnected may also participate in the debugging process, even in the display panel 100 after shipment, the corresponding compensation depth for the disconnected sub-gates may not be limited. However, in the aforementioned "voltage follower" embodiment, for the disconnected sub-gate, in order to ensure that the power manager 106 supplies power to the electrode portion, the resistance of the branch where the first input terminal I1 is located (i.e., the input resistor R2) and the resistance of the branch where the output terminal O is located (the feedback resistor R1) must be set to be equal.

[0072] Further, such as Figure 7 As shown, the compensation module may further include a first capacitor C1 electrically connected between the input resistor R2 and the first input terminal I1, and utilizing the property that the voltage difference between its two ends cannot change suddenly, the inverting input terminal "-" can extract the change in the potential of the corresponding first sub-electrode portion 01; the compensation module may further include a second capacitor C2 electrically connected between the ground and the positive input terminal "+", and the second capacitor C2 may be a filter capacitor to filter out noise in the signal containing the initial voltage output by the power manager 106; the compensation module may further include a dummy load resistor R3 electrically connected between the ground and the output terminal O. When the display panel 100 is powered off, the residual charge in the electrode layer 101 can be quickly released through the load resistor R3, thereby reducing the risk of flickering of the display panel 100.

By providing a plurality of compensation modules corresponding to the plurality of electrode parts and a plurality of sub-selectors corresponding to the plurality of compensation modules, each selector can electrically connect or disconnect the corresponding electrode part with the corresponding compensation module, so that during the debugging process before leaving the factory, a larger number of compensation modules can be selected for compensating the electrode layer, thereby increasing the flexibility and reliability of debugging and avoiding the increase in cost caused by additionally making compensation modules for debugging. After leaving the factory, the potential of at least one corresponding electrode part can be compensated according to the status of the plurality of selectors.
