[0091] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that, in the drawings, the thicknesses of layers, films, panels, regions and the like are exaggerated for clarity. In the present disclosure, example embodiments are described with reference to cross-sectional views that are schematic but are intended to be as realistic as possible. As such, the shapes of the figures shown in the drawings will be expected to deviate in some aspects from what is shown in the drawings as a consequence of, for example, manufacturing processes and / or tolerances. Thus, embodiments described in the present disclosure are not to be construed as being limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated in the drawings but are to include deviations in shapes that result from, for example, manufacturing. For example, an area illustrated or described as flat can typically have rough and / or nonlinear features; an illustrated sharp angle can be rounded, etc. Thus, the regions shown in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and do not reflect true scales, but are merely intended to schematically illustrate the present disclosure. Like or similar designations in the drawings indicate like or similar elements or elements with like or similar functions. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the present disclosure omits the detailed description of known functions and known components.
[0092] Unless otherwise defined, technical terms or scientific terms used herein shall have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terms "first", "second", and similar terms do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but are used to distinguish one element from another, and the terms "comprises", "comprising", "includes", "including" and the like can be used herein and mean including but not limited to as set out herein. The terms "connected", "coupled", and the like, can be used herein and mean one or more elements or components connected or coupled at least indirectly together, whether connected or coupled directly together or connected or coupled indirectly together, via other elements or components. The terms "inner", "outer", "up", "down", and the like, can be used herein and mean relative positions for clarity only and can change according to different viewpoints or absolute positions of the described objects.
[0093] In the following description, when an element or layer is referred to as being "on" or "connected to" another element or layer, it can be directly on the other element or layer, directly connected to the other element or layer, or an intervening element or layer can be present. When an element or layer is referred to as being "on one side of" another element or layer, it can be directly on the side of the other element or layer, directly connected to the other element or layer, or an intervening element or layer can be present. However, when an element or layer is referred to as being "directly on" another element or layer, "directly connected to" another element or layer, there is no intervening element or layer. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0094] With the popularization of intelligent display, the light and temperature sensor design integrated in the display panel gradually appears in some large-size display panels. This design has higher accuracy and does not affect the size of the frame, and has obvious advantages compared with the existing products integrated on the circuit board or the outer frame.
[0095] In order to save cost and improve yield, the array section and the cell section of the light and temperature sensor integrated in the display panel need to be detected, and if there is a defect, the product needs to be graded. However, since the normal array section and cell section detection is a detection of whether the display function of the display panel is abnormal, the positions of the light and temperature sensor are all outside the display area, and are not related to the normal display function of the display panel. Therefore, the array section and cell section detection of the display panel for normal display cannot detect the light and temperature sensor.
[0096] To solve the above technical problems, the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, can include:
[0097] The substrate 101 includes a display area AA and a non-display area BB surrounding the display area AA. The non-display area BB includes a first non-display area BB1 provided with a binding area BD, a second non-display area BB2 opposite to the first non-display area BB1, and a third non-display area BB3 connecting the first non-display area BB1 and the second non-display area BB2. In some embodiments, the display area AA includes red sub-pixel areas, green sub-pixel areas, blue sub-pixel areas, etc. arranged in an array. The substrate 101 is a substrate allowing visible light to pass through, such as a glass, quartz, plastic, etc.
[0098] A plurality of sensing signal lines 102 and a plurality of transistors 103 are located in the non-display area BB. The plurality of transistors 103 are electrically connected to at least part of the sensing signal lines 102. Each transistor 103 can be composed of a plurality of (for example, 40-10) small-sized transistors in parallel. In some embodiments, FIG. 1 shows three light sensing components S1-S3 composed of the plurality of transistors 103. The first light sensing component S1 of the second non-display area BB2 includes a first transistor S1D covered by a black matrix, a second transistor S1R covered by a red color filter, a third transistor S1G covered by a green color filter, and a fourth transistor S1B covered by a blue color filter. The second light sensing component S2 of the left third non-display area BB3 includes a fifth transistor S2D covered by a black matrix and a sixth transistor S2G covered by a green color filter. The third light sensing component S3 of the right third non-display area BB3 includes a seventh transistor S3D covered by a black matrix and an eighth transistor S3G covered by a green color filter. The plurality of sensing signal lines 102 include a temperature sensing signal line TS, a plurality of first light sensing signal lines ASS electrically connected to the first poles of the different transistors 103, a second light sensing signal line ASD electrically connected to the second poles of all the transistors 103, and a third light sensing signal line ASG electrically connected to the gates of all the transistors 103.
[0099] The plurality of first detection terminals 104 are located in the non-display area BB, for example, the first detection terminals 104 are located in the binding area BD of the first non-display area BB1; the binding area BD can also be provided with data terminals D1, D2 (electrically connected with the data line DL) and common electrode terminals Com (electrically connected with the common electrode line CL) for detecting display functions; optionally, the plurality of first detection terminals 104 are used for detecting whether the plurality of sensing signal lines 102 and the plurality of transistors 103 are normal, and one first detection terminal 104 is arranged corresponding to at least one sensing signal line 102. It should be noted that in the present disclosure, “one first detection terminal 104 is arranged corresponding to at least one sensing signal line 102” can be understood as: in the Cell section, one first detection terminal 104 is electrically connected with the corresponding at least one sensing signal line 102, so that in the detection process, one first detection terminal 104 can load a detection signal for the corresponding at least one sensing signal line 102; after the detection is completed, the first detection terminal 104 is disconnected with the corresponding at least one sensing signal line 102, so as to ensure that the different sensing signal lines 102 are disconnected with each other, thereby avoiding crosstalk between the sensing signal lines 102. In addition, after the detection is completed, the operator can be reminded to judge the product function by a simple signal light alarm and the like. For example, a red signal light indicates that there is a defect, and a green signal light indicates that the product is qualified.
[0100] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the number of the first detection terminals 104 is sufficient, the sensing signal lines 102 can be connected one by one corresponding to the first detection terminals 104; when the number of the first detection terminals 104 is limited, two or more sensing signal lines 102 can share one first detection terminal 104; thereby realizing the sensing function detection of the sensing signal lines 102 and the transistors 103 electrically connected therewith. In some embodiments, the first detection terminals 104 can be idle terminals in the related detection terminal group (used for realizing display function detection), so that the structure of the detection terminal group does not need to be changed, the compatibility with related products is higher, and the cost can be effectively saved.
[0101] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of first detection terminals 104 are divided into two groups, i.e., a first detection assembly CT1 and a second detection assembly CT2. Optionally, the temperature sensing signal line TS, the second light sensing signal line ASD and the third light sensing signal line ASG are signal lines that are broken only in the first non-display area BB1 and surround the display area AA, and therefore, the corresponding first detection terminals 104 can be arranged on the first detection assembly CT1 and the second detection assembly CT2 to detect the disconnection failure of the temperature sensing signal line TS, the second light sensing signal line ASD and the third light sensing signal line ASG. The first light sensing signal line ASS is not a signal line that surrounds the screen, but a signal line that goes in the plane and does not come out, and therefore, the characteristics of the transistor 103 need to be detected in combination with the detection scheme, specifically, if the current of the transistor 103 can be normally detected, it means that the first light sensing signal line ASS has no disconnection; if the current cannot be detected, it means that the first light sensing signal line ASS is disconnected.
[0102] In some embodiments, the first detection assembly CT1 and the second detection assembly CT2 can correspond to half of the first light sensing signal lines ASS, for example, in FIG. 1, the first detection assembly CT1 and the second detection assembly CT2 correspond to 4 first light sensing signal lines ASS. In some embodiments, the more the transistors 103, the more the first light sensing signal lines ASS required, and the more the first light sensing signal lines ASS corresponding to the first detection assembly CT1 and the second detection assembly CT2. The present disclosure takes the first detection assembly CT1 and the second detection assembly CT2 corresponding to 4 first light sensing signal lines ASS as an example to illustrate the specific arrangement scheme of the first detection terminals 104 of a detection assembly (for example, CT1 or CT2) and the sensing signal lines 102.
[0103] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, two adjacent sensing signal lines 102 can correspond to different first detection terminals 104, so as to facilitate the short circuit detection of the two adjacent sensing signal lines 102. If the resistance between the two adjacent signal lines 102 is small (for example, less than a preset value), it means that the two are short-circuited, otherwise, it means that there is no short circuit.
[0104] As can be seen from FIGS. 2 to 5, four first light sensing signal lines ASS, one second light sensing signal line ASD, one third light sensing signal line ASG and one temperature sensing signal line TS can be arranged in sequence from left to right, wherein the odd first light sensing signal lines ASS can correspond to the same first detection terminal 104, and the even first light sensing signal lines ASS can correspond to another first detection terminal 104.
[0105] Specifically, in FIG. 2, the number of first detection terminals 104 is sufficient, and four first light sensing signal lines ASS, one second light sensing signal line ASD, one third light sensing signal line ASG, and one temperature sensing signal line TS can be respectively arranged to correspond to one first detection terminal 104, so that not only the short circuit between adjacent sensing signal lines 102 and the short circuit between the source and the drain of the transistor 103 (i.e., channel bridge) can be detected, but also the open circuit of the single sensing signal line 103 and the conduction characteristics of the transistor 103 can be detected. The transistor 103 can be regarded as a fixed source-drain current Ids after a fixed gate voltage Vgs and a fixed source-drain voltage difference Vds are obtained. Therefore, after a fixed Vgs and Vds are given, whether the current size meets the standard can be used as a detection scheme for judging the characteristics of the transistor 103, that is, the test characteristic curve is simplified to a test single-point current value. However, if this detection is to be realized, each light sensing signal line ASS, ASD, and ASG needs to have a corresponding first detection terminal 104, and if the number of first detection terminals 104 is insufficient, the detection cannot be realized.
[0106] In FIG. 3, the first detection terminal 104 is 5, at this time, the temperature sensing signal line TS, the third light sensing signal line ASG, the second light sensing signal line ASD, the odd first light sensing signal line ASS, and the even first light sensing signal line ASS can be respectively arranged to correspond to one first detection terminal 104, so that the connection can detect the short circuit between adjacent sensing signal lines 102, the short circuit between the source and the drain of the transistor 103 (i.e., channel bridge), and the open circuit of the temperature sensing signal line TS, the third light sensing signal line ASG, and the second light sensing signal line ASD.
[0107] In FIG. 4, the first detection terminal 104 is 3, at this time, the second light sensing signal line ASD can be arranged to correspond to one first detection terminal 104, the third light sensing signal line ASG and the odd first light sensing signal line ASS can be commonly arranged to correspond to one first detection terminal 104, and the temperature sensing signal line TS and the even first light sensing signal line ASS can be commonly arranged to correspond to one first detection terminal 104, so that the short circuit between adjacent sensing signal lines 102, the short circuit between the source and the drain of the transistor 103 (i.e., channel bridge), and the open circuit of the temperature sensing signal line TS, the third light sensing signal line ASG, and the second light sensing signal line ASD can be detected.
[0108] In FIG. 5, the first detection terminal 104 is 2, at this time the third light sensing signal line ASG and the odd first light sensing signal line ASS correspond to a first detection terminal 104, the second light sensing signal line ASD and the temperature sensing signal line TS and the even first light sensing signal line ASS correspond to a first detection terminal 104, so that the connection can detect the short circuit between the adjacent sensing signal lines 102, and the temperature sensing signal line TS, the third light sensing signal line ASG and the second light sensing signal line ASD are disconnected.
[0109] In some embodiments, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are another enlarged structure diagram of the Z2 region in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in the array substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of first connection lines 105 can also be included, one end of the plurality of first connection lines 105 is integrally arranged on the same first detection terminal 104 away from the display area AA, and the other end of the plurality of first connection lines 105 is disconnected from each other on different sensing signal lines 102 away from the display area AA. In the Cell section detection scheme, these first connection lines 105 can connect one first detection terminal 104 and a plurality of sensing signal lines 102, so that the detection signal of the first detection terminal 104 is transmitted to the plurality of sensing signal lines 102 for detection through the plurality of first connection lines 105. After detection is completed, the first connection line 105 needs to be disconnected from the first detection terminal 104 and the sensing signal line 102, which does not affect subsequent use. Of course, in some embodiments, the first connection line 105 can also be cut off to ensure that the plurality of sensing signal lines 102 and the corresponding first detection terminal 104 are disconnected from each other.
[0110] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, a plurality of second connection lines 106 can also be included, which are arranged in a layer different from the plurality of first connection lines 105. Optionally, the first connection line 105 is located in the gate metal layer (Gate), and the second connection line 106 is located in the source-drain metal layer (SD); one end of the plurality of second connection lines 106 is integrally arranged on the same first detection terminal 104 away from the display area AA, and the other end of the plurality of second connection lines 106 is disconnected from each other on different sensing signal lines 102 away from the display area AA; and the plurality of second connection lines 106 correspond to different first detection terminals 104 and different sensing signal lines 102 of the plurality of first connection lines 105.
[0111] In the cell segment detection scheme, the second connection lines 106 can connect the first detection terminal 104 and the plurality of sensing signal lines 102, so that the detection signal of the first detection terminal 104 is transmitted to the plurality of sensing signal lines 102 through the plurality of second connection lines 106 for detection. After the detection is completed, the second connection lines 106 need to be disconnected from the first detection terminal 104 and the sensing signal lines 102, without affecting the subsequent use. Of course, in some embodiments, the second connection lines 106 can also be cut off to ensure that the plurality of sensing signal lines 102 and the corresponding first detection terminal 104 are disconnected from each other.
[0112] In addition, compared with the first connection line 105 and the second connection line 106 arranged in the same layer, the first connection line 105 and the second connection line 106 arranged in different layers in the present disclosure can reduce the width of the first non-display area BB1, and realize the narrow frame design. Optionally, the orthogonal projection of the first connection line 105 on the substrate 101 and the orthogonal projection of the second connection line 106 on the substrate 101 are arranged alternately, which can increase the spacing of the wiring in the same layer, reduce the short-circuit probability of the wiring in the same layer, and avoid the coupling capacitance caused by the opposite arrangement of the wiring in different layers, and cause signal mutual interference.
[0113] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the temperature sensing signal line TS can be arranged corresponding to a first detection terminal 104 through a wire TSL, and the wire TSL and the first connection line 105 are arranged in the same layer and the same material (for example, in the gate metal layer). In order to avoid the short circuit of the first connection line 105 and the wire TSL, the first connection line 105 can be arranged to be disconnected at the wire TSL, and the disconnected first connection line 105 is connected by a jumper JW. Optionally, the jumper JW and the second connection line 106 are arranged in the same layer and the same material (for example, in the source-drain metal layer).
[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 13, in the array segment, the first detection terminal 104 can also be connected to the sensing signal line 102 one by one through the seventh connection line 114; before the detection of the cell segment is completed, the first detection terminal 104 can still be connected to the sensing signal line 102 one by one through the seventh connection line 114; after the detection of the cell segment is completed, the seventh connection line 114 needs to be cut off, or the electrical connection relationship between the first connection line 114 and the first detection terminal 104 and the sensing signal line 102 is disconnected.
[0115] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, a plurality of third connection lines 107 can also be included, one end of each of the third connection lines 107 is integrally arranged with a different first detection terminal 104, and the other end of each of the third connection lines 107 is disconnected from each other at the boundary of the array substrate. The third connection lines 107 can electrically connect the first detection terminals 104 with the detection terminals on the motherboard (i.e., array test pads located at the periphery of the array substrate), so that the sensing signal lines 102 and the transistors 103 are subjected to yield detection by loading the detection signal to the AT detection terminals on the motherboard. During the process of cutting the motherboard into a plurality of small boards, the AT detection terminals at the periphery of the array substrate and the local part of the plurality of third connection lines 107 at the periphery of the array substrate are cut off.
[0116] In some embodiments, in the case that the number of AT detection terminals is insufficient but the number of CT detection terminals (i.e., the first detection terminals 104) is sufficient, the scheme of reserving all the CT detection terminals (i.e., the first detection terminals 104) and short-circuiting the AT detection terminals in an odd-even manner can be adopted. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 2, the array substrate can also include a plurality of fourth connection lines 108 arranged in the same layer as the plurality of first detection terminals 104, and a plurality of fifth connection lines 109 arranged in different layers from the plurality of first detection terminals 104; one end of each of the fourth connection lines 108 is integrally arranged with a different first detection terminal 104, one end of each of the fifth connection lines 109 is electrically connected with a different first detection terminal 104, and the corresponding first detection terminals 104 of the fourth connection lines 108 and the fifth connection lines 109 are arranged alternately; the other end of each of the fourth connection lines 108 and the other end of each of the fifth connection lines 109 are disconnected from each other at the boundary of the array substrate. In the array segment, the plurality of fourth connection lines 108 connect some of the first detection terminals 104 to the same AT detection terminal, and the plurality of fifth connection lines 109 connect some of the first detection terminals 104 to another AT detection terminal, so that a small number of AT detection terminals can be used to detect the sensing signal lines 102 and the transistors 103. Optionally, in order to reduce the short-circuiting probability of the wiring in the same layer and the coupling capacitance of the wiring in different layers, the orthogonal projection of the fourth connection lines 108 on the substrate 101 and the orthogonal projection of the fifth connection lines 109 on the substrate 101 can be arranged alternately inside the array board.
[0117] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the array substrate provided by the present disclosure can further include a sixth connection line 110 arranged in the same layer as the plurality of fourth connection lines 108, one end of the sixth connection line 110 being integrally arranged with the first detection terminal 104 that does not correspond to the plurality of fourth connection lines 108 and the plurality of fifth connection lines 109, and the other end of the sixth connection line 110 being disconnected from the other end of the plurality of fourth connection lines 108 and the other end of the plurality of fifth connection lines 109 at the boundary of the array substrate. In this way, in the array section, the corresponding one first detection terminal 104 and one AT detection terminal can be connected by using the sixth connection line 110, so as to realize detection of the sensing signal line 102 and the transistor 103. In the cell section, the fourth connection line 108, the fifth connection line 109 and the sixth connection line 110 are disconnected, which does not affect the normal use of the sensing signal line 102.
[0118] In some embodiments, the transistor 103 and the sensing signal line 102 are located inside the gate driving circuit area GOA (provided with a gate driving circuit and a gate driving circuit signal line electrically connected with the gate driving circuit) and close to the AA area, which makes the output signal line Gout (electrically connected with the gate line GL) of the gate driving circuit overlap with the sensing signal line 102. If a short circuit occurs at the overlapping position, the GOA output will be affected, and the risk of quality problems will greatly increase. At the same time, the sensing signal line 102 overlaps with the Gout line more, and is more likely to generate electrostatic ESD, which can cause product problems.
[0119] In order to solve the above problems, FIG. 8 shows another structure diagram of the array substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8, in the third non-display area BB3, the light sensing assembly S2&S3 composed of the sensing signal line 102 and the plurality of transistors 103 are located on the side of the gate driving circuit area GOA away from the display area AA, so as to avoid the yield problem caused by the intersection of the sensing signal line 102 and the gate driving circuit signal line.
[0120] In some embodiments, the present disclosure can further include a sealant (Seal) surrounding the display area AA, the sealant (Seal) covering at least the connection position of the transistor 103 and the sensing signal line 102, so as to avoid water and oxygen corrosion of the via at the connection position. Optionally, the gate driving circuit signal line includes a clock signal line (CLK) located on the side of the gate driving circuit away from the display area AA, and the sealant (Seal) further covers the connection position of the clock signal line (CLK) and the gate driving circuit, so as to avoid water and oxygen corrosion of the via at the connection position.
[0121] In some embodiments, FIG. 9 shows another structural schematic diagram of an array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, FIG. 10 is an enlarged structural schematic diagram of the Z3 region in FIG. 9, and FIG. 11 is an enlarged structural schematic diagram of the Z4 region in FIG. 10. As shown in FIGS. 9-11, the first non-display area BB1 can include a plurality of fan-out areas FA, and the adjacent two fan-out areas FA have a common electrode line 111 therebetween. The sensing signal line 102 and the transistor 103 can be located between the fan-out area FA (provided with a plurality of fan-out lines FL) and the common electrode line 111, so as to avoid the intersection of the sensing signal line 102 and the fan-out line FL, and the gate driving circuit signal line. Optionally, in order to save space, the transistor 103 can be arranged obliquely along the edge of the fan-out area FA. In some embodiments, the gates G of the plurality of transistors 103 are arranged approximately in steps along the edge of the fan-out area FA, and the gates G of the plurality of transistors are integrally provided through a sensing line (i.e., a third light sensing signal line ASG). In some embodiments, the gate G of the transistor 103 is in a rectangular shape, and the adjacent gates G are arranged staggeredly, with a sensing line (i.e., a third light sensing signal line ASG) connecting the adjacent gates G, and the staggered trend of the plurality of adjacent gates G is the same as the extending trend of the edge of the fan-out area FA. It should be noted that, in order to improve the detection accuracy, the transistor 103 can be simultaneously provided between the fan-out areas FA, and in the second non-display area BB2 and the third non-display area BB3.
[0122] In some embodiments, in order to improve the process uniformity, as shown in FIGS. 9-11, a dummy transistor 112 can be provided between the fan-out areas FA where no transistor 103 is provided, and between the transistors 103. The structure of the dummy transistor 112 can be the same as that of the transistor 103, for example, both can include a plurality of small-size separate transistors TFT as shown in FIG. 11, and the difference is that the first pole of the dummy transistor 112 is not connected to the first light sensing signal line ASS, and the second pole of the dummy transistor 112 is not connected to the second light sensing signal line ASD. Moreover, in the case where one transistor 103 is composed of a plurality of (for example, 40-100) small-size separate transistors TFT in parallel, the wiring space can be fully utilized, which is conducive to achieving a narrow frame effect.
[0123] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be configured to achieve the following purposes. In the array substrate, the sensing signal line 102 is connected to the driving circuit (for example, the circuit with the COF) through bonding, and the first detection terminal 104 is configured to receive the detection signal provided by the detection device. In the bonding area BD, the sensing signal line 102 and the first detection terminal 104 are respectively provided with corresponding switching electrodes 113. Optionally, the switching electrodes 113 are configured in the same layer and of the same material as the transparent electrodes (pixel electrodes and / or common electrodes) on the top layer of the array substrate. The sensing signal line 102 (which can be located in the gate metal layer) in the bonding area BD and the corresponding switching electrode 113 together serve as a bonding terminal, and the sensing signal line 102 and the corresponding switching electrode 113 in the bonding area BD are connected through a via. The first detection terminal 104 can be located in the gate metal layer, and the first detection terminal 104 and the corresponding switching electrode 113 together serve as a detection pad, and the first detection terminal 104 is electrically connected to the corresponding switching electrode 113 through a via. In addition, in order to improve the etching uniformity, dummy lines DY of the same layer and of the same material as the switching electrodes 113 and / or the sensing signal lines 102 can be arranged between the sensing signal lines 102 in the bonding area BD, between the first detection terminals 104, and in other large blank areas without effective patterns (for example, for achieving sensing function, display function, etc.).
