Solution Overview

Problem

Existing organic light-emitting display panels often experience stress-detection-miss, leading to serious flickering issues and poor display effects, which are not effectively addressed by current stress image detection methods, resulting in material waste and reduced yield.

Innovation Solution

A display panel with a stress-detection-miss detection circuit that uses high-voltage and low-voltage detection voltages to determine if the panel has passed stress image detection, ensuring prompt information is generated to avoid stress-detection-miss, and includes a structural diagram of the display panel with power signal lines, external stress detection terminals, and a stress-detection-miss detection circuit.

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing stress image detection at multiple voltage levels (high voltage and low voltage) before the display panel leaves the factory. The detection circuit applies high voltage first to stress the panel, then applies low voltage to verify detection accuracy. This preliminary multi-stage detection prevents stress-detection-miss and ensures high display quality before production.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action by performing stress image detection in multiple periodic stages: first applying high voltage detection voltage to stress the panel, then applying low voltage detection voltage to verify detection. This periodic multi-stage detection process ensures both measurement precision and reliability by cross-validating results at different voltage levels.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies feedback by using the low voltage detection results to verify and correct the high voltage detection results. The detection circuit compares the stress image at low voltage with the expected pattern, and if stress-detection-miss is detected, it can trigger re-detection or adjustment. This feedback mechanism ensures both precision and reliability of the stress detection process.
