[0099] Optionally, the second insulating layer may be provided at the same layer and with the same material as the pixel definition layer.
[0100] In the embodiments of the present application, the number and type of the first test terminals and the second test terminals are various. In some optional embodiments, the number of the first test terminals is more than two, and the number of the second test terminals is more than two. Optionally, the number of the first test terminals is the same as the number of the second test terminals.
[0101] In these optional embodiments, by setting a plurality of first test terminals and second test terminals, the first test terminals and the second test terminals can be used to measure multiple values between the first conductive part 710, the second conductive part 720 and the connecting electrode 740. For example, they can be used to measure the current value and the voltage value between the first conductive part 710, the second conductive part 720 and the connecting electrode 740 to obtain the lap resistance between the first conductive part 710 and the connecting electrode 740 and the lap resistance between the second conductive part 720 and the connecting electrode 740.
[0102] In some optional embodiments, one of the two or more first test terminals is a current terminal and the other is a voltage test terminal, and one of the two or more second test terminals is a current terminal and the other is a voltage test terminal.
[0103] In these optional embodiments, at least part of the first test terminals and at least part of the second test terminals are set as current terminals, so that part of the first test terminals and part of the second test terminals can provide current to the first conductive part 710, the connecting electrode 740 and the second conductive part 720, and the value of the current can be a preset current value, so as to form an electric circuit with a preset current value between the first conductive part 710, the connecting electrode 740 and the second conductive part 720. Specifically, the current terminal can be used as an interface for connecting to an external power source, that is, the external power source can be connected to the current terminal, so as to generate an electric circuit with a preset current value between the first conductive part 710, the connecting electrode 740 and the second conductive part 720 through the current terminal.
[0104] By using at least part of the first test terminal and at least part of the second test terminal as voltage test terminals, part of the first test terminal and part of the second test terminal can be used to measure the voltage between the first conductive part 710, the connecting electrode 740 and the second conductive part 720. Specifically, the voltage test terminal can be used as an interface connected to a voltage measuring device, that is, the voltage measuring device can be connected to the voltage test terminal to test the voltage value of the electrical circuit composed of the first conductive part 710, the connecting electrode 740 and the second conductive part 720.
[0105] Therefore, after knowing that the current between the first conductive part 710, the connecting electrode 740 and the second conductive part 720 is a preset current value and knowing the voltage between the first conductive part 710, the connecting electrode 740 and the second conductive part 720, the sum of the overlapping resistance between the first conductive part 710 and the connecting electrode 740 and the overlapping resistance between the second conductive part 720 and the connecting electrode 740 can be obtained, that is, if the overlapping resistance between the first conductive part 710 and the connecting electrode 740 is the first resistance and the overlapping resistance between the second conductive part 720 and the connecting electrode 740 is the second resistance, by setting the first test terminal and the second test terminal, the sum of the first resistance and the second resistance can be obtained.
[0106] Optionally, in a test element 700, the sum of the overlap area between the first conductive portion 710 and the connection electrode 740 and the overlap area between the second conductive portion 720 and the connection electrode 740 may be the first area. Optionally, in a first opening 500a, the overlap area between the first isolation portion 510 and the first electrode 410 is the second area. By obtaining the sum of the first resistance and the second resistance, and according to the size relationship between the first area and the second area, the overlap resistance between the first isolation portion 510 and the first electrode 410 can be obtained more accurately.
[0107] In these optional embodiments, there are many ways to set the size relationship between the first area and the second area. Optionally, the first area can be set equal to the second area, that is, the sum of the overlapping areas of the connecting electrode 740 and the first conductive part 710 and the second conductive part 720 in a test element 700 can be equal to the overlapping area between the first isolation part 510 and the first electrode 410 in a first opening 500a, so that the overlapping resistance between the first isolation part 510 and the first electrode 410 is equal to the sum of the first resistance and the second resistance.
[0108] Optionally, the first area may be set to be twice the second area, so that the sum of the first resistance and the second resistance is twice the lap resistance between the first isolation portion 510 and the first electrode 410 .
[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, there are many ways to set the shapes of the first conductive part 710 and the second conductive part 720. Optionally, the shapes of the first conductive part 710 and the second conductive part 720 can be set according to the shape of the first opening 500a to improve the simulation effect of the overlapping relationship between the first conductive part 710 and the second conductive part 720 and the connecting electrode 740 on the overlapping relationship between the first electrode 410 and the first isolation part 510.
[0110] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the second conductive part 720 is arranged around at least a portion of the first conductive part 710, so that the test space 730 formed by the first conductive part 710 and the second conductive part 720 can be annular or an unclosed annular, similar to the annular shape of the first isolation part 510 that encloses the first opening 500a.
[0111] Optionally, the connecting electrode 740 is arranged around at least a portion of the first conductive part 710, so that the shape of the overlapping area between the connecting electrode 740 and the first conductive part 710 and the second conductive part 720 can be more similar to the shape of the overlapping area between the first electrode 410 and the first isolation part 510, so as to enhance the simulation effect of the overlapping relationship between the first conductive part 710, the second conductive part 720 and the connecting electrode 740 on the overlapping relationship between the first electrode 410 and the first isolation part 510.
[0112] Optionally, the second conductive part 720 is arranged in a closed ring shape around the first conductive part 710, and the connecting electrode 740 is arranged in a closed ring shape around the first conductive part 710. Since the overlapping area between the first electrode 410 and the first isolation part 510 is often in a ring shape, the second conductive part 720 is arranged in a closed ring shape around the first conductive part 710, and the connecting electrode 740 is arranged in a closed ring shape around the first conductive part 710, so that the overlapping area between the connecting electrode 740 and the first conductive part 710 and the second conductive part 720 can be in a ring shape, so as to improve the simulation effect of the overlapping relationship between the first conductive part 710, the second conductive part 720 and the connecting electrode 740 on the overlapping relationship between the first electrode 410 and the first isolation part 510.
[0113] Optionally, the first conductive portion 710 has a first contour line 711 on the side facing the test space 730, and a shape enclosed by the first contour line 711 is the same as a projection shape of the first opening 500a in the thickness direction Z, and / or the second conductive portion 720 has a second contour line 721 on the side facing the test space 730, and a shape enclosed by the second contour line 721 is the same as a projection shape of the first opening 500a in the thickness direction Z.
[0114] In these optional embodiments, the shape formed by the first contour line 711 is set to be the same as the projection shape of the first opening 500a in the thickness direction Z, so that the shape of the overlapping area between the first conductive part 710 and the connecting electrode 740 can be similar to the overlapping shape between the first isolation part 510 and the first electrode 410, so as to improve the simulation effect of the overlapping relationship between the first conductive part 710 and the connecting electrode 740 on the overlapping relationship between the first electrode 410 and the first isolation part 510. The shape formed by the second contour line 721 is set to be the same as the projection shape of the first opening 500a in the thickness direction Z, so that the shape of the overlapping area between the second conductive part 720 and the connecting electrode 740 can be similar to the overlapping shape between the first isolation part 510 and the first electrode 410, so as to improve the simulation effect of the overlapping relationship between the second conductive part 720 and the connecting electrode 740 on the overlapping relationship between the first electrode 410 and the first isolation part 510.
[0115] Optionally, the first opening 500a has a first perimeter, the length of the first contour line 711 is greater than or equal to 0.5 times the first perimeter, and the length of the first contour line 711 is less than or equal to 1 times the first perimeter, and / or the sum of the lengths of the first contour line 711 and the second contour line 721 is greater than or equal to 2 times the first perimeter, and the sum of the lengths of the first contour line 711 and the second contour line 721 is less than or equal to 3 times the first perimeter.
[0116] By reasonably setting the relationship between the length of the first contour line 711 and the length of the second contour line 721 and the first perimeter of the first opening 500a, the first area can be preferably set to be greater than or equal to twice the second area, so that the sum of the first resistance and the second resistance is greater than or equal to twice the overlap resistance between the first isolation portion 510 and the first electrode 410. When the measured sum of the first resistance and the second resistance is smaller, it can better represent that the overlap resistance between the first isolation portion 510 and the first electrode 410 is smaller. When the measured sum of the first resistance and the second resistance happens to be a bad overlap resistance value, the actual overlap resistance between the first isolation portion 510 and the first electrode 410 may also be smaller than the bad overlap resistance. This allows the operator to determine the accurate overlap resistance through further testing, thereby improving the manufacturing yield of the display panel.
[0117] In these optional embodiments, the projection shape of the first opening 500a in the thickness direction Z has various shapes. Optionally, the projection shape of the first opening 500a in the thickness direction Z may be a polygon such as a triangle or a quadrilateral, or a shape with curved edges such as an arc edge. Optionally, the projection shape of the first opening 500a in the thickness direction Z may be a symmetrical shape or an asymmetrical shape.
