[0057] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the first embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 100, which comprises a substrate 1, a driving circuit layer 2, a plurality of sub-pixels 3 and a pixel definition layer 4. In some embodiments, the display panel 100 is an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display panel.

[0058] Among them, the driving circuit layer 2 is arranged on one side of the substrate 1, and the plurality of sub-pixels 3 are arranged on the side of the driving circuit layer 2 away from the substrate 1. Each sub-pixel 3 comprises an anode 31, a light-emitting layer 32 and a cathode 33 arranged in sequence. The pixel definition layer 4 is arranged on the side of the driving circuit layer 2 away from the substrate 1, and defines the positions of the plurality of sub-pixels 3.

[0059] Among them, the driving circuit layer 2 comprises a plurality of first thermoelectric elements 21 and a plurality of second thermoelectric elements 22, and a plurality of first detection lines 23 and a plurality of second detection lines 24. It should be noted that the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 herein refer to thermoelectric material elements, which are material elements with thermoelectric properties, and are not directly used as thermoelectric devices. The first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 are arranged corresponding to the positions of the pixel definition layer 4, and the Seebeck coefficients of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 are different. The Seebeck coefficient is one of the core parameters for measuring the thermoelectric properties of a material, and its physical meaning is "the thermoelectric potential generated at both ends of the material per unit temperature difference".

[0060] At least one of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 is arranged around each sub-pixel 3, that is, there can be a part of the sub-pixels 3 around which only the first thermoelectric element 21 is arranged, or there can be a part of the sub-pixels 3 around which only the second thermoelectric element 22 is arranged, or there can be a part of the sub-pixels 3 around which both the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 are arranged. In two adjacent sub-pixels 3, one of the sub-pixels 3 is arranged around the first thermoelectric element 21, and the other sub-pixel 3 is arranged around the second thermoelectric element 22, and the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around at least part of the two adjacent sub-pixels 3 are in contact with each other. Specifically, the two different thermoelectric elements around at least part of the two adjacent sub-pixels 3 are in electrical connection with each other. When there is a bad pixel, the temperature of the bad pixel is different from the temperature of the sub-pixel 3 adjacent to the bad pixel, and since the Seebeck coefficients of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 are different, a thermoelectric electromotive force will be generated at the contact point between the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the two adjacent sub-pixels 3.

[0061] Specifically, the first detection line 23 extends along the first direction L1, and a plurality of first detection lines 23 are spaced apart from each other in the second direction L2, and in the second direction L2, at least one sub-pixel 3 is arranged between two adjacent first detection lines 23, and the first detection line 23 is in electrical connection with the contact point of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22. The second detection line 24 extends along the second direction L2, and a plurality of second detection lines 24 are spaced apart from each other in the first direction L1, and in the first direction L1, at least one sub-pixel 3 is arranged between two adjacent second detection lines 24, and the second detection line 24 is in electrical connection with the contact point of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22; the first direction L1 and the second direction L2 intersect.

[0062] Specifically, the first direction L1 and the second direction L2 can be perpendicular or not perpendicular. When the first direction L1 and the second direction L2 are perpendicular to each other, the first direction L1 can be a row direction, and the second direction L2 can be a column direction; or the first direction L1 can be a column direction, and the second direction L2 can be a row direction. In some embodiments, in the second direction L2, only one sub-pixel 3 can be arranged between two adjacent first detection lines 23, or two sub-pixels 3 can also be arranged; in some embodiments, in the first direction L1, only one sub-pixel 3 can be arranged between two adjacent second detection lines 24, or two sub-pixels 3 can also be arranged.

[0063] The first detection line 23 and the second detection line 24 are both used to detect the thermoelectric electromotive force at the contact point position of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22. When a sub-pixel 3 of the display panel 100 has a bad pixel, the temperature of the bad pixel is different from the temperature of the sub-pixels 3 adjacent to the bad pixel in the first direction L1 and the second direction L2. The first detection line 23 and the second detection line 24 corresponding to the contact point position of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the bad pixel output the thermoelectric electromotive force signal, so that the coordinate position of the bad pixel in the first direction L1 and the second direction L2 can be determined, and the bad pixel can be repaired.

[0064] It can be understood that, by arranging the first thermoelectric element 21 and / or the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3, the Seebeck coefficients of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 are different, and in the adjacent two sub-pixels 3, one of the sub-pixels 3 is arranged with the first thermoelectric element 21, and the other sub-pixel 3 is arranged with the second thermoelectric element 22. The first detection line 23 and the second detection line 24 are respectively electrically connected to the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 along the first direction L1 and the second direction L2. When a sub-pixel 3 of the display panel 100 has a bad pixel, the temperature of the bad pixel is different from the temperature of the sub-pixels 3 adjacent to the bad pixel, and the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 will generate an electromotive force due to the temperature difference. Since the Seebeck coefficients of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 are different, the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 will more easily generate an electromotive force based on the Seebeck effect. The first detection line 23 and the second detection line 24 will detect the thermoelectric electromotive force signal at the contact point position of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22, so as to respectively determine the position of the bad pixel in the second direction L2 and the first direction L1, and accurately determine the specific position of the bad pixel, so as to facilitate the repair of the bad pixel. Through the above arrangement, the problem of low bad pixel detection efficiency and insufficient detection accuracy of the display panel in the related art is solved, and the bad pixel detection can be quickly and accurately realized, the detection cost and time are reduced, the detection efficiency and accuracy are improved, and the targeted repair according to the damage of the sub-pixel 3 is facilitated, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0065] In some embodiments, the plurality of sub-pixels 3 are arranged in an array, and the first direction L1 and the second direction L2 are perpendicular to each other. In a specific embodiment, the first direction L1 is parallel to the column direction, and the second direction L2 is parallel to the row direction. In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the first direction L1 is parallel to the column direction, and the second direction L2 is parallel to the row direction. Figure 1As shown, along the second direction L2, one first detection line 23 is arranged between two adjacent columns of sub-pixels 3, and two columns of sub-pixels 3 are arranged between two adjacent first detection lines 23. That is, the two columns of sub-pixels 3 corresponding to each first detection line 23 and the two columns of sub-pixels 3 corresponding to the first detection line 23 adjacent to it do not overlap. In other embodiments, the first direction L1 can also be parallel to the row direction, the second direction L2 can be parallel to the column direction, or the plurality of sub-pixels 3 can also not be arranged in an array, and the arrangement position of the first detection line 23 can also be adaptively adjusted according to the distribution mode of the sub-pixels 3.

[0066] As shown, for example, Figure 1 As shown, for example, Figure 1 Only four columns of sub-pixels 3 are shown, so two first detection lines 23 are arranged in the four columns of sub-pixels 3. Specifically, along the row direction, the two first detection lines 23 are Test Xn and Test Xn+1 in sequence. Among them, along the row direction, the first first detection line 23, i.e., Test Xn, is located between the first column of sub-pixels 3, i.e., Xn-1, and the second column of sub-pixels 3, i.e., Xn, and the second first detection line 23, i.e., Test Xn+1, is located between the third column of sub-pixels 3, i.e., Xn+1, and the fourth column of sub-pixels 3, i.e., Xn+2.

[0067] Specifically, in an embodiment, in two adjacent rows of sub-pixels 3, only one of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 is arranged around each sub-pixel 3 in one of the rows, which is defined as a single-thermoelectric-material row. The plurality of sub-pixels 3 in the single-thermoelectric-material row constitutes a plurality of pixel groups, each pixel group includes two adjacent sub-pixels 3, the sub-pixels 3 in adjacent two pixel groups do not overlap, and the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the two sub-pixels 3 in the same pixel group are in contact and electrically connected. In an embodiment, each first detection line 23 corresponds to a column of pixel groups, and is located between two columns of sub-pixels 3 in a column of pixel groups, and the first detection line 23 is in sequence Electrically connected to a plurality of contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 in the same column of pixel groups.

[0068] As shown, for example, Figure 1As shown, the plurality of sub-pixels 3 of the display panel 100 are arranged in five rows and four columns, and each of the sub-pixels 3 in the first, third and fifth rows is provided with only one of the first and second thermoelectric elements 21 and 22, defining the first, third and fifth rows as single-thermoelectric-material rows. Specifically, the thermoelectric elements around the adjacent two sub-pixels 3 in the single-thermoelectric-material row are different, one of the two sub-pixels 3 is provided with the first thermoelectric element 21, and the other sub-pixel 3 is provided with the second thermoelectric element 22. For example, the first and third columns of sub-pixels 3 in the first, third and fifth rows are provided with the first thermoelectric element 21, and the second and fourth columns of sub-pixels 3 are provided with the second thermoelectric element 22. The plurality of sub-pixels 3 in the single-thermoelectric-material row form a plurality of pixel groups, each pixel group includes two adjacent sub-pixels 3, and the sub-pixels 3 in adjacent pixel groups do not overlap. For example, the two sub-pixels 3 in the first and second columns of the single-thermoelectric-material row form a pixel group, and the two sub-pixels 3 in the third and fourth columns form a pixel group, and the four sub-pixels 3 in each row form two pixel groups. The first and second thermoelectric elements 21 and 22 around the two sub-pixels 3 in the same pixel group are in contact and electrically connected with each other, that is, the first thermoelectric element 21 around the first column of sub-pixels 3 in the first, third and fifth rows is in contact and electrically connected with the second thermoelectric element 22 around the second column of sub-pixels 3. Specifically, the contact points of the first and second thermoelectric elements 21 and 22 around the adjacent two sub-pixels 3 in the single-thermoelectric-material row are located between the two sub-pixels 3, that is, the contact points are located at positions corresponding to the pixel definition layer 4.

[0069] Each first detection line 23 corresponds to a column of pixel groups, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 1 As shown, the four columns of sub-pixels 3 in each single-thermoelectric-material row form two columns of pixel groups, and the two columns of pixel groups correspond to two first detection lines 23. The first detection line 23 in each column of pixel groups corresponds to the two columns of sub-pixels 3 in the column of pixel groups, and the first detection line 23 is in contact and electrically connected with a plurality of contact points of the first and second thermoelectric elements 21 and 22 in the same column of pixel groups in sequence. For example, the first first detection line 23, that is, Test Xn, is in contact and electrically connected with the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 around the first column of sub-pixels 3 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the second column of sub-pixels 3 in the first row, the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 around the first column of sub-pixels 3 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the second column of sub-pixels 3 in the third row, and the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 around the first column of sub-pixels 3 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the second column of sub-pixels 3 in the fifth row in sequence.

[0070] It is understood that in this embodiment, since the first detection line 23 in the same column of pixels connects the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around two adjacent columns of sub-pixels 3 in multiple single thermoelectric material rows, when there is a bad pixel in any one or more single thermoelectric material rows in the same column of pixels, the first detection line 23 located in the pixel group can output a thermoelectric electromotive force signal. Based on the thermoelectric electromotive force signal output by the first detection line 23, the coordinates of the bad pixel in the second direction L2, i.e., the row direction, can be determined.

[0071] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, let's take the sub-pixel 3 located in the third row and second column as an example of a defective pixel. Specifically, the sub-pixel 3 located in the third row and second column is Pixel unit (Xn, Yn), where (Xn, Yn) are the coordinates of sub-pixel 3, Xn is the coordinate of sub-pixel 3 in the second direction L2 (row direction), and Yn is the coordinate of sub-pixel 3 in the first direction L1 (column direction). In the second direction L2 (row direction), the sub-pixels 3 adjacent to this defective pixel are the sub-pixel 3 located in the third row and first column and the sub-pixel 3 located in the third row and third column, respectively. Specifically, the sub-pixel 3 located in the third row and first column is Pixel unit (Xn-1, Yn), and the sub-pixel 3 located in the third row and third column is Pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn). The contact point between the first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3 in the third row and first column and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 in the third row and second column is defined as the first contact point D, and the contact point between the first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3 in the third row and third column and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 in the third row and fourth column is defined as the second contact point E.

[0072] When the sub-pixel 3 in the second column of the third row is a bad pixel, the temperature of the sub-pixel 3 in the second column of the third row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn), is different from that of the sub-pixels 3 adjacent to it. The temperature of the second thermoelectric element 22 around the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn) is greater than that of the first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3 in the first column of the third row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn-1, Yn). A temperature difference electromotive force is generated at the first contact point D, i.e., the contact point between the first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3 in the first column of the third row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn-1, Yn), and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 in the second column of the third row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn). The first first detection line 23, i.e., Test Xn, transmits the temperature difference electromotive force signal generated at the first contact point D. At the same time, since the sub-pixel 3 in the second column of the third row is a bad pixel, the temperature of the sub-pixel 3 in the second column of the third row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn), is high. The temperature of the sub-pixel 3 in the third column of the third row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn), is also high due to the influence of the temperature of the bad pixel. In the second pixel group in the third row, the temperature of the sub-pixel 3 in the fourth column of the third row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn+2, Yn), is lower than that of the sub-pixel 3 in the third column of the third row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn), because the sub-pixel 3 in the fourth column of the third row is farther away from the bad pixel than the sub-pixel 3 in the third column of the third row. The temperature of the first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3 in the third column of the third row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn), is different from that of the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 in the fourth column of the third row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn+2, Yn). A temperature difference electromotive force is generated at the second contact point E. The second first detection line 23, i.e., Test Xn+1, transmits the temperature difference electromotive force signal generated at the second contact point E.

[0073] That is, the first first detection line 23, i.e., Test Xn, and the second first detection line 23, i.e., Test Xn+1, both output a thermoelectric power signal, but since the third row and second column pixel unit (Xn, Yn) is the hottest bad pixel, the temperature of the second thermoelectric element 22 around the bad pixel is higher than the temperature of the first thermoelectric element 21 around the third row and third column sub-pixel 3, i.e., the pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn). Therefore, the thermoelectric power signal output by the first first detection line 23, i.e., Test Xn, is greater than the thermoelectric power signal output by the second first detection line 23, i.e., Test Xn+1. Therefore, based on the size of the thermoelectric power signals output by the first first detection line 23, i.e., Test Xn, and the second first detection line 23, i.e., Test Xn+1, it can be determined that the bad pixel is located in the second column in the second direction L2, i.e., the row direction, and the coordinate of the bad pixel in the row direction is Xn. Through the above arrangement, the coordinate position of the bad pixel in the row direction can be effectively determined, thereby facilitating the repair of the bad pixel.

[0074] In some embodiments, the plurality of sub-pixels 3 are arranged in an array, the first direction L1 is perpendicular to the second direction L2, the first direction L1 is parallel to the column direction, and the second direction L2 is parallel to the row direction. Along the first direction L1, i.e., the column direction, one second detection line 24 is arranged between every two adjacent rows of sub-pixels 3, and two rows of sub-pixels 3 are arranged between every two adjacent second detection lines 24. In the adjacent two rows of sub-pixels 3, each sub-pixel 3 in one of the rows is surrounded by a first thermoelectric element 21 and a second thermoelectric element 22, defining a double-thermoelectric-material row. Specifically, in the plurality of sub-pixels 3 in the double-thermoelectric-material row, the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around each sub-pixel 3 are in contact with each other, and the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around adjacent two sub-pixels 3 do not contact each other.

[0075] Specifically, in an embodiment, the second detection line 24 is located between the adjacent two rows of sub-pixels 3, and the plurality of second detection lines 24 are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the plurality of double-thermoelectric-material rows. Each second detection line 24 is electrically connected to the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the plurality of sub-pixels 3 in the corresponding double-thermoelectric-material row in sequence, i.e., the same second detection line 24 connects a plurality of contact points in the same double-thermoelectric-material row in series.

[0076] For example, Figure 1As shown, the illustration uses a display panel 100 with multiple sub-pixels 3 arranged in a five-row, four-column configuration as an example. Along the first direction L1 (column direction), a second detection line 24 is positioned between two adjacent rows of sub-pixels 3. Two rows of sub-pixels 3 are positioned between two adjacent second detection lines 24. One of the adjacent rows of sub-pixels 3 is a row of dual thermoelectric materials, and the multiple second detection lines 24 correspond one-to-one with the multiple rows of dual thermoelectric materials. Figure 1 Only five rows of sub-pixels 3 are shown. The first, third, and fifth rows are single thermoelectric material rows. Therefore, there are two rows of double thermoelectric material rows in the five rows of sub-pixels 3. Specifically, the second and fourth rows are double thermoelectric material rows. Two second detection lines 24 are set in the five rows of sub-pixels 3.

[0077] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first thermoelectric element 21 and a second thermoelectric element 22 are simultaneously disposed around each sub-pixel 3 in the second and fourth rows, and the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around each sub-pixel 3 in the second and fourth rows are electrically connected to each other. For example, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the shape of sub-pixel 3 is rectangular. The first thermoelectric element 21 around each sub-pixel 3 in the second and fourth rows is arranged corresponding to one side of the sub-pixel 3, and the second thermoelectric element 22 around each sub-pixel 3 is arranged corresponding to three sides of the sub-pixel 3. The contact point of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around each sub-pixel 3 in the second row is located between the sub-pixel 3 in the second row and the sub-pixel 3 in the third row. The contact point of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around each sub-pixel 3 in the fourth row is located between the sub-pixel 3 in the fourth row and the sub-pixel 3 in the fifth row.

[0078] In the column direction, the two second detection lines 24 are Test Yn and Test Yn+1 in sequence. In an embodiment, in the column direction, the first second detection line 24, i.e., Test Yn, is located between the second row of sub-pixels 3, i.e., Yn-1, and the third row of sub-pixels 3, i.e., Yn, and is arranged corresponding to the second row of sub-pixels 3, and the second first detection line 23, i.e., Test Yn+1, is located between the fourth row of sub-pixels 3, i.e., Yn+1, and the fifth row of sub-pixels 3, i.e., Yn+2, and is arranged corresponding to the fourth row of sub-pixels 3. The first second detection line 24, i.e., Test Yn, is electrically connected to the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the plurality of sub-pixels 3 in the second row in sequence, and the second second detection line 24, i.e., Test Yn+1, is electrically connected to the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the plurality of sub-pixels 3 in the fourth row in sequence. The contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around each sub-pixel 3 in the second row are located between the second row of sub-pixels 3 and the third row of sub-pixels 3 in correspondence, and the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around each sub-pixel 3 in the fourth row are located between the fourth row of sub-pixels 3 and the fifth row of sub-pixels 3 in correspondence, so that when there is a defective pixel in the double thermoelectric material row, the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the defective pixel generate a thermoelectric electromotive force, and the thermoelectric electromotive force signal is output by the second detection line 24 corresponding to the row where the defective pixel is located, so as to determine the coordinate of the defective pixel in the first direction L1, i.e., the column direction, and further determine the specific coordinate position of the defective pixel, and facilitate the repair of the defective pixel.

[0079] In other embodiments, the first thermoelectric element 21 around each sub-pixel 3 in the second row and the fourth row can also be arranged corresponding to two side edges of the sub-pixel 3, or can be arranged corresponding to any three or half side edges of the sub-pixel 3, the second thermoelectric element 22 around each sub-pixel 3 can be arranged corresponding to two side edges of the sub-pixel 3, or can be arranged corresponding to any one or half side edge of the sub-pixel 3, and the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around each sub-pixel 3 can also not be located between the adjacent two rows of sub-pixels 3, for example, the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around each sub-pixel 3 can be arranged corresponding to the middle position of the sub-pixel 3 in the column direction. The arrangement position and manner of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 can be designed as needed, and the arrangement position of the second detection line 24 can be adaptively adjusted according to the arrangement position of the contact points of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around each row of sub-pixels 3, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, as long as the coordinate of the defective pixel in the first direction L1, i.e., the column direction, can be detected by the second detection line 24.

[0080] For example, the contact point of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around each sub-pixel 3 in the second row can be set at the middle position of each sub-pixel 3 in the column direction, or it can be set at the position between the sub-pixels 3 in the first row and the second row; similarly, the contact point of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around each sub-pixel 3 in the fourth row can be set at the middle position of each sub-pixel 3 in the column direction, or it can be set at the position between the sub-pixels 3 in the third row and the fourth row; one or three rows of sub-pixels 3 can be set between two adjacent second detection lines 24.

[0081] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, single thermoelectric material rows and double thermoelectric material rows are alternately arranged along the first direction L1, i.e., the column direction, which makes it easier to determine the coordinate position of the defect.

[0082] For example, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, taking the sub-pixel 3 located in the third row and second column, i.e., pixel unit (Xn, Yn), as a defective pixel as an example, the sub-pixel 3 adjacent to this defective pixel in the first direction L1, i.e., the column direction, are the sub-pixel 3 located in the second row and second column and the sub-pixel 3 located in the fourth row and second column, respectively. Specifically, the sub-pixel 3 located in the second row and second column is pixel unit (Xn, Yn-1), and the sub-pixel 3 located in the fourth row and second column is pixel unit (Xn, Yn+1). The contact point between the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 in the second row and second column, i.e., pixel unit (Xn, Yn-1), is defined as the third contact point F, and the contact point between the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 in the fourth row and second column, i.e., pixel unit (Xn, Yn+1), is defined as the fourth contact point G.

[0083] When the sub-pixel 3 in the second column of the third row is a bad pixel, the temperature of the sub-pixel 3 in the second column of the third row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn), is higher. The first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3 in the second column of the second row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn-1), is closer to the bad pixel than the second thermoelectric element 22, and the temperature of the first thermoelectric element 21 is higher than that of the second thermoelectric element 22. A thermoelectric power is generated at a contact point, i.e., the third contact point F, between the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 in the second column of the second row. A first second detection line 24, i.e., Test Yn, arranged corresponding to the sub-pixel 3 in the second row outputs the thermoelectric power signal. Meanwhile, the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 in the second column of the fourth row, i.e., the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn+1), is closer to the bad pixel than the first thermoelectric element 21, and the temperature of the second thermoelectric element 22 is higher than that of the first thermoelectric element 21. A thermoelectric power is generated at a contact point, i.e., the fourth contact point G, between the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 in the second column of the fourth row. A second second detection line 24, i.e., Test Yn+1, arranged corresponding to the sub-pixel 3 in the fourth row also outputs the thermoelectric power signal. Based on the fact that the first second detection line 24, i.e., Test Yn, and the second second detection line 24, i.e., Test Yn+1, both output the thermoelectric power signal, it can be determined that the bad pixel is located in the third row in the first direction L1, i.e., the column direction, and the coordinate of the bad pixel in the column direction is Yn. Through the above arrangement, the coordinate position of the bad pixel in the column direction can be effectively determined, thereby facilitating the repair of the bad pixel.

[0084] In other embodiments, when the bad pixel is located in the double thermoelectric material row, for example, the sub-pixel 3 in the second row and the second column, Pixel unit (Xn, Yn-1), when the sub-pixel 3 in the second row and the second column, Pixel unit (Xn, Yn-1), is a bad pixel, the contact point of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 in the second row and the second column, Pixel unit (Xn, Yn-1), i.e. the third contact point F, will generate a thermoelectric power, and the first second detection line 24, Test Yn, corresponding to the second row of sub-pixels 3 will output the thermoelectric power signal; and since the sub-pixel 3 in the fourth row and the second column, Pixel unit (Xn, Yn+1), is far away from the sub-pixel 3 in the second row and the second column, Pixel unit (Xn, Yn-1), therefore, the temperature of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 in the fourth row and the second column, Pixel unit (Xn, Yn+1), will not change greatly, and the contact point of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 in the fourth row and the second column, Pixel unit (Xn, Yn+1), i.e. the fourth contact point G, will not generate a thermoelectric power, and the second second detection line 24, Test Yn+1, corresponding to the fourth row of sub-pixels 3 will not output the thermoelectric power signal, therefore, it can be directly determined that the bad pixel is located in the second row in the first direction L1, i.e. the column direction.

[0085] Meanwhile, the temperatures of the other sub-pixels 3 around the sub-pixel 3 at the defective point, i.e., the sub-pixel 3 at the second row and the second column, Pixel unit (Xn, Yn-1), are affected by the defective point. Therefore, the temperature of the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 at the first row and the second column, Pixel unit (Xn, Yn-2), and the temperature of the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 at the third row and the second column, Pixel unit (Xn, Yn), are both increased. As a result, a thermoelectric electromotive force signal is generated at the contact point of the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 at the first row and the second column, Pixel unit (Xn, Yn-2), and the first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3 at the first row and the first column, Pixel unit (Xn-1, Yn-2), and at the contact point of the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 at the third row and the second column, Pixel unit (Xn, Yn), and the first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3 at the third row and the first column, Pixel unit (Xn-1, Yn), i.e., the first contact point D. The first first detection line 23, Test Xn, outputs the thermoelectric electromotive force signal. Meanwhile, the temperature of the first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3 at the first row and the third column, Pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn-2), and the temperature of the first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3 at the third row and the third column, Pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn), are also increased due to the defective point. As a result, a thermoelectric electromotive force signal is generated at the contact point of the first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3 at the first row and the third column, Pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn-2), and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 at the first row and the fourth column, Pixel unit (Xn+2, Yn-2), and at the contact point of the first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3 at the third row and the third column, Pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn), and the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3 at the third row and the fourth column, Pixel unit (Xn+2, Yn), i.e., the second contact point E. The second first detection line 23, Test Xn+1, outputs the thermoelectric electromotive force signal.

[0086] However, since the distance between the sub-pixel 3, i.e. the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn-1) in the second row and the second column, and the sub-pixel 3, i.e. the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn-2) in the first row and the second column, and the sub-pixel 3, i.e. the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn) in the third row and the second column, is smaller than the distance between the sub-pixel 3, i.e. the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn-1) in the second row and the second column, and the sub-pixel 3, i.e. the Pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn-2) in the first row and the third column, and the sub-pixel 3, i.e. the Pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn) in the third row and the third column, the temperature of the second thermoelectric element 22 around the sub-pixel 3, i.e. the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn-2) in the first row and the second column, and the sub-pixel 3, i.e. the Pixel unit (Xn, Yn) in the third row and the second column, is greater than the temperature of the first thermoelectric element 21 around the sub-pixel 3, i.e. the Pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn-2) in the first row and the third column, and the sub-pixel 3, i.e. the Pixel unit (Xn+1, Yn) in the third row and the third column, and the thermoelectric electromotive force signal output by the first first detection line 23, i.e. Test Xn, is greater than the thermoelectric electromotive force signal output by the second first detection line 23, i.e. Test Xn+1, so that, based on the size of the thermoelectric electromotive force signals output by the first first detection line 23, i.e. Test Xn, and the second first detection line 23, i.e. Test Xn+1, the position of the bad pixel in the second direction L2, i.e. the row direction, can be determined to be in the second column. According to the position of the bad pixel in the first direction L1, i.e. the column direction, and in the second direction L2, i.e. the row direction, the coordinates of the bad pixel can be finally determined as (Xn, Yn-1).

[0087] It can be understood that when the bad pixel is located at other coordinate positions, the specific coordinate position of the bad pixel can also be determined based on the same judgment logic as the above-mentioned manner, so as to facilitate the repair of the bad pixel, which will not be listed here.

[0088] In other embodiments, the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 and the first detection line 23 and the second detection line 24 around each of the sub-pixels 3 can also adopt other layouts and arrangements as long as the coordinate position of the bad pixel can be detected. For example, the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 can be arranged around each of the sub-pixels 3 in each row of the sub-pixels 3 of the display panel 100, i.e., each row of the sub-pixels 3 can be a double thermoelectric material row, one second detection line 24 is arranged corresponding to each row of the sub-pixels 3, and one first detection line 23 is arranged corresponding to each column of the sub-pixels 3; or only one of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 is arranged around each of the sub-pixels 3 in each row of the sub-pixels 3 of the display panel 100, and one of the first thermoelectric element 21 is arranged around one of the adjacent two sub-pixels 3, and the second thermoelectric element 22 is arranged around the other sub-pixel 3, i.e., each row of the sub-pixels 3 can be a single thermoelectric material row, one second detection line 24 is arranged corresponding to each row of the sub-pixels 3, and one first detection line 23 is arranged corresponding to each column of the sub-pixels 3, and two columns of the sub-pixels 3 are arranged between the adjacent two first detection lines 23. The specific arrangement of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 and the first detection line 23 and the second detection line 24 around the sub-pixels 3 can be designed as needed, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the same.

[0089] In some embodiments, the materials of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 are both semiconductor thermoelectric materials, one of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 is a P-type semiconductor material, and the other is an N-type semiconductor material. It can be understood that the Seebeck coefficient of the P-type semiconductor material is usually positive, and the Seebeck coefficient of the N-type semiconductor is usually negative. Through the above arrangement, when there is a bad pixel, there is a temperature difference between the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22, a thermoelectric electromotive force signal is generated at the contact position of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22, the thermoelectric potential of the P-type semiconductor material and the N-type semiconductor material is superimposed, the output voltage is improved, the thermoelectric electromotive force signal is more obvious, and the coordinate position of the bad pixel is more convenient to determine. In other embodiments, the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 can also be other metals, conductors or other materials with thermoelectric effect.

[0090] In some embodiments, the P-type semiconductor material comprises a P-type Bi2Te3-based semiconductor material; and / or, in some embodiments, the N-type semiconductor material comprises an N-type Bi2Te3-based semiconductor material, or an N-type SnS-based semiconductor material. It can be appreciated that the P-type Bi2Te3-based semiconductor material, the N-type Bi2Te3-based semiconductor material and the N-type SnS-based semiconductor material are all semiconductor thermoelectric materials with excellent room-temperature thermoelectric properties, and are more conducive to generating a strong thermoelectric voltage signal. Specifically, the Seebeck coefficient is denoted by S, and at room temperature, for example, at a temperature of 300 K, the Seebeck coefficient of the P-type Bi2Te3-based semiconductor material is S = 228 μV / K, the Seebeck coefficient of the N-type Bi2Te3-based semiconductor material is generally in the range of -200 μV / K to -250 μV / K, and the Seebeck coefficient of the N-type SnS-based semiconductor material is S = -522 μV / K.

[0091] When there are bad pixels in the plurality of sub-pixels 3, the local temperature at the position of the bad pixel can reach 500 K, while the normal sub-pixels 3 are at room temperature, for example, 300 K, and the temperature difference between the bad pixel and the normal sub-pixel 3 is T, specifically, T can reach 200 K. In an embodiment, the P-type semiconductor material is a P-type Bi2Te3-based semiconductor material, the N-type semiconductor material can be an N-type SnS-based semiconductor material, and the difference between the Seebeck coefficients of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 is S, specifically, S is equal to the Seebeck coefficient of the P-type Bi2Te3-based semiconductor material minus the Seebeck coefficient of the N-type SnS-based semiconductor material, and specifically is about 750 μV / K. According to the formula for calculating the thermoelectric voltage: V = S * T, S* T, the calculated thermoelectric voltage at the contact position of the first thermoelectric element 21 and the second thermoelectric element 22 is 0.15 V, which can be detected by a conventional detection tool.

[0092] Specifically, in some embodiments, the specific type of the abnormality can be further confirmed according to the electrical signals output by the first detection line 23 and the second detection line 24, by comparing the electrical signal waveform of the normal sub-pixel 3 with the abnormal waveform library, and then targeted repair can be performed according to the damage of the sub-pixel 3 to avoid affecting the surrounding sub-pixels 3.

[0093] Through the above setting mode, the electrical signal generated by capturing the temperature difference between the normally displayed sub-pixel 3 and the abnormally displayed sub-pixel 3 (bad point) can be accurately positioned to the coordinates of the bad point through positioning twice in the first direction L1 and the second direction L2, and different types of abnormal signals can be collected to reasonably speculate the abnormal type of the bad point, which can improve the repair efficiency.

[0094] Specifically, the conventional bad point detection usually adopts visual detection technology, and the detection of the visual detection technology follows the row-by-row scanning and gray scale contrast principle, and the working time is relatively long. Specifically, the working time is expected to reach two minutes. The above structure and the corresponding detection method provided by the embodiment of the application make up for the shortcomings of the long detection time and the insufficient accuracy of the traditional machine vision detection technology, can quickly and accurately find out the bad points of other types of abnormal sub-pixels 3 and the bad points that cannot be detected by the visual detection technology, and the searching time is relatively short, which is expected to be within 5 seconds, and the further iteration of the bad point detection function of the sub-pixel 3 can be realized.
