[0015] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It is clear that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments that can be obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0016] The design of the conventional detection circuit has two defects: In order to realize the testing and inspection of multiple display screens, the design structure of the conventional detection circuit is generally complicated and occupies a large frame size; if the structure of the detection circuit is simple and does not occupy a large frame area, it can only test and detect monochrome screens and white screens, and cannot immediately detect display defects that can only detect different grayscales or mixed color screens.
[0017] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a detection circuit of a display panel, and as shown in FIG. 1, the detection circuit includes a first detection sub-circuit 10, a second detection sub-circuit 20, a third detection sub-circuit 30, and a fourth detection sub-circuit 40.
[0018] The first detection subcircuit 10 is electrically connected to the first scanning signal line Gate1, the first data signal line Data1, and the red subpixel R, and the first detection subcircuit 10 outputs a signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red subpixel R by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1.
[0019] The second detection subcircuit 20 is electrically connected to the second scanning signal line Gate2, the first data signal line Data1, and the green subpixel G, and the second detection subcircuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the green subpixel G by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2.
[0020] The third detection subcircuit 30 is electrically connected to the second scanning signal line Gate2, the second data signal line Data2, and the blue subpixel B, and the third detection subcircuit 30 outputs a signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue subpixel B by controlling the second scanning signal line Gate2.
[0021] The fourth detection sub-circuit 40 is connected to the first scanning signal line Gate1, the second data signal line Data2, and the preset sub-pixel Y, and outputs a signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the preset sub-pixel Y by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, where the preset sub-pixel Y is any one of the red sub-pixel R, the green sub-pixel G, and the blue sub-pixel B.
[0022] When the detection subcircuits are electrically connected to the subpixels of the display panel, taking the preset subpixel Y as a green subpixel G as an example, the second detection subcircuit 20 is connected to a part of the green subpixels G of the display panel, and the fourth detection subcircuit 40 is electrically connected to the green subpixels G of the remaining part of the display panel. However, the detection subcircuits being electrically connected to the subpixels means that the detection subcircuits are electrically connected to the data lines in the subpixels. For example, the first detection subcircuit 10 being electrically connected to the red subpixel R means that the first detection subcircuit 10 is electrically connected to the data line in the red subpixel R.
[0023] Based on this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a detection circuit, in which a first detection subcircuit 10 outputs a first data signal line Data1 to a red subpixel R by controlling a first scanning signal line Gate1, a second detection subcircuit 20 outputs a signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to a green subpixel G by controlling a signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, a third detection subcircuit 30 outputs a signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to a blue subpixel B by controlling a signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, and a fourth detection subcircuit 40 outputs a signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to a preset subpixel Y by controlling a signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1. By controlling the signals transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the second scanning signal line Gate2, the first data signal line Data1, and the second data signal line Data2, any one of the first detection subcircuit 10, the second detection subcircuit 20, the third detection subcircuit 30, and the fourth detection subcircuit 40 is operated to input a signal to a subpixel of one color to light up the subpixel of the color, thereby detecting a monochromatic screen, or by simultaneously operating multiple detection subcircuits in the detection subcircuit, signals are input to subpixels of multiple colors to light up the subpixels of the colors, thereby detecting a mixed-color screen or a white screen. In this way, defects in different screens can be immediately found and the manufacturing process of the display panel can be immediately completed, thereby avoiding waste of materials for the module and reducing the manufacturing cost of the display panel.
[0024] 2 is a flow chart of a detection driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the detection driving method 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to a detection circuit including a first detection sub-circuit electrically connected to a first scanning signal line, a first data signal line, and a red sub-pixel, a second detection sub-circuit electrically connected to a second scanning signal line, the first data signal line, and a green sub-pixel, a third detection sub-circuit electrically connected to the second scanning signal line, the second data signal line, and a blue sub-pixel, and a fourth detection sub-circuit electrically connected to the first scanning signal line, the second data signal line, and a preset sub-pixel, where the preset sub-pixel is any one of the red sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel, and the blue sub-pixel. The detection circuit may be the detection circuit shown in FIG. 1.
[0025] As shown in FIG. 2, the detection driving method 200 includes the following steps.
[0026] In step S1, a first control signal is applied to a first scanning signal line to drive a first detection sub-circuit, and a high-level signal is applied to a first data signal line to output the high-level signal to a red sub-pixel via the first detection sub-circuit.
[0027] In step S2, a second control signal is applied to the second scanning signal line to drive the second detection sub-circuit, and a high-level signal is applied to the first data signal line to output the high-level signal to the green sub-pixel via the second detection sub-circuit.
[0028] In step S3, a second control signal is applied to the second scanning signal line to drive the third detection sub-circuit, and a high-level signal is applied to the second data signal line to output the high-level signal to the blue sub-pixel via the third detection sub-circuit.
[0029] In step S4, a first control signal is applied to the first scanning signal line to drive the fourth detection sub-circuit, and a high-level signal is applied to the second data signal line to output the high-level signal to the preset sub-pixel via the fourth detection sub-circuit.
[0030] In the detection and driving method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, steps S1 to S4 may be performed independently to realize detection for a screen of red, green, blue, or a preset color. In addition, in the detection and driving method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, any two or more of steps S1 to S4 may be combined to realize detection for a screen of a combination color. For example, steps S1 and S2 may be performed simultaneously to realize detection for a screen where green + red = yellow. In addition, steps S3 and S4 may be performed simultaneously to realize detection for a screen where green + blue = cyan. In addition, steps S1 and S3 may be performed simultaneously to realize detection for a screen where red + blue = purple.
[0031] Hereinafter, a specific example of the circuit configuration of the detection circuit shown in FIG. 1 will be specifically illustrated by combining specific examples.
[0032] As shown in FIG. 3, the first detection sub-circuit includes a first transistor T1, the first transistor T1 having a control pole electrically connected to the first scanning signal line Gate1, a first pole electrically connected to the first data signal line Data1, and a second pole electrically connected to the red sub-pixel R.
[0033] The second detection subcircuit 20 includes a second transistor T2, the control electrode of which is electrically connected to the second scanning signal line Gate2, the first electrode of which is electrically connected to the green subpixel G, and the second electrode of which is electrically connected to the first data signal line Data1.
[0034] The third detection subcircuit 30 includes a third transistor T3, the third transistor T3 having a control pole electrically connected to the second scanning signal line Gate2, a first pole electrically connected to the blue subpixel B, and a second pole electrically connected to the second data signal line Data2.
[0035] The fourth detection sub-circuit 40 includes a fourth transistor T4, the fourth transistor T4 having a control pole electrically connected to the first scanning signal line Gate1, a first pole electrically connected to the second data signal line Data2, and a second pole electrically connected to the preset sub-pixel Y. In this embodiment, the preset sub-pixel Y is taken as an example to be the green sub-pixel G.
[0036] Based on this, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the transistors constituting the first detection subcircuit 10 and the transistors constituting the third detection subcircuit 30 are the same type, the transistors constituting the second detection subcircuit 20 and the transistors constituting the fourth detection subcircuit 40 are the same type, and the transistors constituting the first detection subcircuit 10 and the transistors constituting the second detection subcircuit 20 are different types. In this embodiment, the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 are the same type of transistor, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are the same type of transistor, and the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are different types of transistor. In FIG. 3, the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 are P-type transistors, and the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are N-type transistors. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, a P-type transistor is turned on at a low level and turned off at a high level, and an N-type transistor is turned on at a high level and turned off at a low level.
[0037] Based on this, the configuration of the detection circuit described in the above embodiment is simple, and the frame size of the display panel can be reduced, which is advantageous for narrowing the frame of the display panel.
[0038] The driving method of the detection circuit of the embodiment will be described below in combination with FIG.
[0039] First stage: The first detection sub-circuit 10 outputs to the red sub-pixel R a signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 under the control of the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1.
[0040] For example, by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 and the second scanning signal line Gate2 are at a first level, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at a second level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at a first level, so that the first detection sub-circuit 10 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red sub-pixel R.
[0041] In this embodiment, an example is given in which the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 are P-type transistors, and the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are N-type transistors. In this case, the first level is a low level, and the second level is a high level.
[0042] 4, Gate1=0, Gate2=0, Data1=1, and Data2=0, where "1" indicates a high level and "0" indicates a low level, the low level on the gate line is a potential of the opposite polarity to the high level, i.e., a negative level, and the low level on the data line is the same as the common level. In this case, the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 are conductive, and the high level transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is output to the red sub-pixel R via the first transistor T1, turning on the red sub-pixel R and realizing detection of a red screen. This stage corresponds to step S1 in FIG. 2.
[0043] Alternatively, second stage P2: By controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the second detection sub-circuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the green sub-pixel G. By controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the first detection sub-circuit 10 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red sub-pixel R.
[0044] For example, by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the second detection subcircuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the green subpixel G, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the first detection subcircuit 10 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red subpixel R, such that the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 is at a first level, the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2 is at a second level, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at a second level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at a first level.
[0045] 4, Gate1=0, Gate2=1, Data1=1, and Data2=0. In this case, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, and a high level transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is output to the red subpixel R via the first transistor T1 and to the green subpixel G via the second transistor T2, turning on the green subpixel G and the red subpixel R, thereby achieving detection of a yellow screen. This stage corresponds to steps S1+S2 in FIG. 2.
[0046] Alternatively, in the third stage P3, the second detection sub-circuit 20 outputs to the green sub-pixel G a signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2.
[0047] For example, by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at a second level, the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2 is at a second level, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at a second level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at a first level, so that the second detection sub-circuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the green sub-pixel G.
[0048] 4, Gate1=1, Gate2=1, Data1=1, and Data2=0. In this case, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, and the high level transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is output to the green sub-pixel G via the second transistor T2, causing the green sub-pixel G to light up, thereby achieving detection of a green screen. This step corresponds to step S2 in FIG. 2.
[0049] Alternatively, in a fourth stage P4, the third detection sub-circuit 30 outputs to the blue sub-pixel B a signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2.
[0050] For example, by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the signals transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 and the second scanning signal line Gate2 are at a first level, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at a first level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at a second level, so that the third detection sub-circuit 30 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue sub-pixel B.
[0051] 4, Gate1=0, Gate2=0, Data1=0, and Data2=1. In this case, the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 are turned on, and the high level transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is output to the blue sub-pixel B via the third transistor T3, turning on the blue sub-pixel B and achieving blue screen detection. This step corresponds to step S3 in FIG. 2.
[0052] Alternatively, in a fifth stage P5, by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the third detection sub-circuit 30 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue sub-pixel B, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the fourth detection sub-circuit 40 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the preset sub-pixel Y. In this embodiment, a case where the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is output to the green sub-pixel G will be described as an example.
[0053] For example, by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the third detection sub-circuit 30 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue sub-pixel B, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the fourth detection sub-circuit 40 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the preset sub-pixel Y, such that the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 is at a second level, the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2 is at a first level, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at a first level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at a second level.
[0054] 4, Gate1=1, Gate2=0, Data1=0, and Data2=1. In this case, the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, and a high level transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is output to the blue subpixel B via the third transistor T3 and to the green subpixel G via the second transistor T2, thereby lighting up the green subpixel G and the blue subpixel B, thereby achieving detection of a cyan screen. This step corresponds to step S3+S4 in FIG. 2.
[0055] Or, in the sixth stage P6: by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the first detection subcircuit 10 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red subpixel R, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the third detection subcircuit 30 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue subpixel B.
[0056] For example, the signals transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 and the second scanning signal line Gate2 are at a first level, and the signals transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 and the second data signal line Data2 are at a second level, so that by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the first detection subcircuit 10 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red subpixel R, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the third detection subcircuit 30 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue subpixel B.
[0057] 4, Gate1=0, Gate2=0, Data1=1, and Data2=1. In this case, the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 are turned on, and the high level transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is output to the red subpixel R via the first transistor T1, and the high level transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is output to the blue subpixel B via the third transistor T3, so that the red subpixel R and the blue subpixel B are turned on, thereby realizing detection of a purple screen. This step corresponds to step S1+S3 in FIG. 2.
[0058] Or, in the seventh stage P7, the second detection subcircuit 20 outputs a signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the green subpixel G by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, and the fourth detection subcircuit 40 outputs a signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data1 to the green subpixel G by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1. Data 2 is output to the preset sub-pixel Y, that is, the green sub-pixel G.
[0059] For example, the second detection subcircuit 20 outputs a signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the green subpixel G by controlling a signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, and the fourth detection subcircuit 40 outputs a signal transmitted through the second data signal line Gate2 to the green subpixel G by controlling a signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2. Data The signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 and the second scanning signal line Gate2 is at a second level, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at a second level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at a second level, so that the signal transmitted through Gate2 is output to the preset sub-pixel Y, i.e., the green sub-pixel G.
[0060] 4, Gate1=1, Gate2=1, Data1=1, and Data2=1. In this case, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, a high level transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is output to the green subpixel G via the second transistor T2 to light up the green subpixel G, and a high level transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is output to the subset subpixel Y, i.e., the green subpixel G, via the fourth transistor T4 to light up the green subpixel G. This step corresponds to step S2+S4 in FIG. 2.
[0061] Or, 8 In step P8, the fourth detection subcircuit 40 detects the second data signal line Gate1 by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1. Data 2 is output to the preset sub-pixel Y, that is, the green sub-pixel G.
[0062] For example, the fourth detection subcircuit 40 detects the second data signal line Gate1 by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2. Data The signals transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 and the second scanning signal line Gate2 are at a second level, the signal transmitted through the first data line Data1 is at a first level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at a second level, so that the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 and the second scanning signal line Gate2 is output to the preset sub-pixel Y, i.e., the green sub-pixel G.
[0063] 4, Gate1=1, Gate2=1, Data1=0, and Data2=1. In this case, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, and the high level transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is output to the preset sub-pixel Y, i.e., the green sub-pixel G, via the fourth transistor T4, causing the green sub-pixel G to light up. This step corresponds to step S4 in FIG. 2.
[0064] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that when the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 are N-type transistors, and the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are P-type transistors, the first level is a high level and the second level is a low level. In this case, the on / off status of each transistor and the principle of lighting the color of the pixel are the same as those described above, and will not be described here in detail.
[0065] On this basis, the detection circuit provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can realize the detection of monochrome screen and mixed-color screen.
[0066] Different from the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, in the detection circuit provided in another embodiment, the transistors constituting the first detection subcircuit 10 and the transistors constituting the fourth detection subcircuit 40 are the same type, the transistors constituting the second detection subcircuit 20 and the transistors constituting the third detection subcircuit 30 are the same type, and the transistors constituting the first detection subcircuit 10 and the transistors constituting the second detection subcircuit 20 are different types.

FIG. 5 shows as an example that the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are P-type transistors, and the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4 are N-type transistors.
[0067] In the following, in combination with FIG. 6, the driving method of the detection circuit described in another embodiment will be described, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0068] First stage P1: The first detection sub-circuit 10 outputs to the red sub-pixel R a signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 under the control of the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1.
[0069] For example, by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 and the second scanning signal line Gate2 is at a second level, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at a second level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at a first level, so that the first detection sub-circuit 10 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red sub-pixel R.
[0070] In this embodiment, the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4 are N-type transistors, and the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are P-type transistors. In this case, the first level is a low level, and the second level is a high level.
[0071] 6, Gate1=1, Gate2=1, Data1=1, and Data2=0, where "1" indicates a high level and "0" indicates a low level, the low level on the gate line is a potential of the opposite polarity to the high level, i.e., a negative level, and the low level on the data line is the same as the common level. In this case, the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4 are conductive, and the high level transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is output to the red sub-pixel R via the first transistor T1, lighting up the red sub-pixel R and realizing detection of a red screen. This step corresponds to step S1 in FIG. 2.
[0072] Alternatively, in the second stage P2, the second detection sub-circuit 20 outputs to the green sub-pixel G a signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2.
[0073] For example, by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 and the second scanning signal line Gate2 is at a first level, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at a second level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at a first level, so that the second detection sub-circuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the green sub-pixel G.
[0074] 6, Gate1=0, Gate2=0, Data1=1, and Data2=0. In this case, the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are turned on, and the high level transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is output to the green sub-pixel G via the second transistor T2, turning on the green sub-pixel G and achieving green screen detection. This step corresponds to step S2 in FIG. 2.
[0075] Or, third stage P3: under the control of the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the fourth detection sub-circuit 40 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the preset sub-pixel Y, where the preset sub-pixel Y is one of the red sub-pixel R, the green sub-pixel G, and the blue sub-pixel B. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the preset sub-pixel Y is the green sub-pixel G.
[0076] Illustratively, by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the fourth detection sub-circuit 40 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the preset sub-pixel Y, where the signals transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 and the second scanning signal line Gate2 are at a second level, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at a first level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at a second level, such that the preset sub-pixel Y is one of a red sub-pixel R, a green sub-pixel G, and a blue sub-pixel B.
[0077] 6, Gate1=1, Gate2=1, Data1=0, and Data2=1. In this case, the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, and the high level transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is output to the green sub-pixel G via the fourth transistor T4, so that half of the green sub-pixel G is turned on to realize green screen detection. This step corresponds to step S4 in FIG. 2.
[0078] Alternatively, in a fourth stage P4, the third detection sub-circuit 30 outputs to the blue sub-pixel B a signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2.
[0079] For example, by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the signals transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 and the second scanning signal line Gate2 are at a first level, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at a first level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at a second level, so that the third detection sub-circuit 30 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue sub-pixel B.
[0080] 6, Gate1=0, Gate2=0, Data1=0, and Data2=1. In this case, the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are turned on, and the high level transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is output to the blue sub-pixel B via the third transistor T3, turning on the blue sub-pixel B and achieving blue screen detection. This step corresponds to step S3 in FIG. 2.
[0081] Or, in the fifth stage P5: by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the first detection subcircuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red subpixel R, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the second detection subcircuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the green subpixel G.
[0082] For example, by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the first detection sub-circuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red sub-pixel R, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the second detection sub-circuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the green sub-pixel G, such that the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 is at a second level, the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2 is at a first level, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at a second level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at a first level.
[0083] 6, Gate1=1, Gate2=0, Data1=1, and Data2=0. In this case, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, and the high level transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is output to the red subpixel R via the first transistor T1 and to the green subpixel G via the second transistor T2, so that the red subpixel R and some of the green subpixels G are turned on, thereby realizing detection of a yellow screen. This step corresponds to step S1+S2 in FIG. 2.
[0084] Or, in the sixth stage P6: by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the third detection subcircuit 30 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue subpixel B, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the fourth detection subcircuit 40 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the preset subpixel Y, i.e., the green subpixel G.
[0085] For example, by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the third detection subcircuit 30 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue subpixel B, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the fourth detection subcircuit 40 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the preset subpixel Y, i.e., the green subpixel G, such that the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate is at the second level, the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2 is at the first level, the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is at the first level, and the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is at the second level.
[0086] 6, Gate1=1, Gate2=0, Data1=0, and Data2=1. In this case, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, and the high level transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is output to the blue subpixel B via the third transistor T3 and to some of the green subpixels G via the fourth transistor T4, so that the blue subpixel B and some of the green subpixels G are turned on to detect a cyan screen. This step corresponds to step S2+S4 in FIG. 2.
[0087] Or, in the seventh stage P7: by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the first detection subcircuit 10 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red subpixel R, the fourth detection subcircuit 40 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the preset subpixel Y, i.e., half of the green subpixel G, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the second detection subcircuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the remaining half of the green subpixel G, and the third detection subcircuit 30 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue subpixel B.
[0088] For example, by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the first detection subcircuit 10 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red subpixel R, the fourth detection subcircuit 40 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the preset subpixel Y, i.e., half of the green subpixel G, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the second detection subcircuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the remaining half of the green subpixel G, and the third detection subcircuit 30 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue subpixel B, so that the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 is at the second level, the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2 is at the first level, and the signals transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 and the second data signal line Data2 are at the second level.
[0089] Specifically, according to Fig. 6, Gate1 = 1, Gate2 = 0, Data1 = 1, and Data2 = 1. In this case, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, and the fourth transistor T4 are conductive, and a high level transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is output to the red subpixel R via the first transistor T1 and to half of the green subpixel G via the second transistor T2, and a high level transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is output to the blue subpixel B via the third transistor T3 and to the remaining half of the green subpixel G via the fourth transistor T4, so that the red subpixel R, the green subpixel G, and the blue subpixel B are turned on, thereby realizing detection of a white screen. This step corresponds to steps S1 + S2 + S3 + S4 in Fig. 2.
[0090] Or, in the eighth stage P8: by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the second detection subcircuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the green subpixel G, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the third detection subcircuit 30 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue subpixel B.
[0091] For example, the signals transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1 and the second scanning signal line Gate2 are at a first level, and the signals transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 and the second data signal line Data2 are at a second level, so that by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the second detection subcircuit 20 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the green subpixel G, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the second scanning signal line Gate2, the third detection subcircuit 30 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the blue subpixel B.
[0092] 6, Gate1=0, Gate2=0, Data1=1, and Data2=1. In this case, the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are turned on, the high level transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is output to the green subpixel G via the second transistor T2, and the high level transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is output to the blue subpixel B via the third transistor T3, so that the green subpixel G and the blue subpixel B are turned on to realize detection of a cyan screen. This step corresponds to step S2+S3 in FIG. 2.
[0093] Or, in the ninth stage P9: by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the first detection subcircuit 10 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red subpixel R, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the fourth detection subcircuit 40 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the preset subpixel Y, i.e., the green subpixel G.
[0094] For example, the signals transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the second scanning signal line Gate2, the first data signal line Data1, and the second data signal line Data2 are all at the second level, so that by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the first detection subcircuit 10 outputs the signal transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 to the red subpixel R, and by controlling the signal transmitted through the first scanning signal line Gate1, the fourth detection subcircuit 40 outputs the signal transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 to the preset subpixel Y, i.e., the green subpixel G.
[0095] 6, Gate1=1, Gate2=1, Data1=1, and Data2=1. In this case, the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, a high level transmitted through the first data signal line Data1 is output to the red subpixel R via the first transistor T1, and a high level transmitted through the second data signal line Data2 is output to the green subpixel G via the fourth transistor T4, so that the red subpixel R and the green subpixel G are turned on, thereby realizing detection of a yellow screen. This step corresponds to step S1+S4 in FIG. 2.
[0096] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that when the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4 are N-type transistors, and the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are P-type transistors, the first level is a high level and the second level is a low level.
