Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The terminology used in the embodiments of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a display module in the prior art, and as shown in fig. 1, a driver chip 01 is bound on a display panel 02, and the driver chip 01 includes an input pin 011 and an output pin 012, where the input pin 011 and the output pin 012 are respectively bound and connected with a corresponding binding end (not shown in the figure) on the display panel 02. The flexible circuit board 03 is bound at one end of the display panel 02, and the flexible circuit board 03 includes a connection pin 031, and the connection pin 031 is bound and connected with a corresponding binding end (not shown in the figure) on the display panel 02. The output binding test structure of the driver chip 01 is illustrated in the figure, because signal wiring on the display panel 02 is dense, and there is no space for placing the test structure, the existing design electrically connects two output pins 012, after the two output pins 012 are bound and connected with the binding end on the display panel, the two output pins 012 are respectively connected to the connection pins 031 of the flexible circuit board 03 through wiring 041 on the display panel 02, so as to test the impedance of the binding connection between the output pins 012 and the binding end, and detect the binding condition of the output pins 012. Since the output pin 012 is generally located on a side of the input pin 011, which is far away from the connection pin 031, the length of the trace 041 located on the display panel 02 is longer, and the trace 041 is generally fabricated on the same layer as a metal structure in a film layer structure of the display panel 02, so that the impedance of the trace 041 is higher, which is generally about 110 Ω. And the impedance of the bond connection between the output pin 012 and the bonding terminal is low, typically less than 5 Ω. Therefore, when the bonding impedance is tested, the difference in the impedance of the bonding connection of the output pin 012 cannot be expressed well, and the abnormal bonding of the output pin 012 cannot be detected accurately.
Based on the problems in the prior art, the embodiment of the invention provides a display module, which comprises an output binding test structure, wherein the output binding test structure is used for testing the binding impedance of the binding connection between an output pin and a display panel. The output binding test structure comprises a main test structure and an auxiliary test structure, the main test structure comprises a first test structure and a second test structure, the first test structure comprises two output binding units which are connected in series, and an output pin of the driving chip and a first pin positioned on the display panel are bound and connected to form the output binding unit; the second test structure is connected with the first test structure, and the second test structure is used for transmitting test signals to the first test structure during impedance test, namely when the impedance of the main test structure is tested, the second test structure and the first test structure are in the same circuit structure. And the impedance of the secondary test structure is the same as the impedance of the second test structure. During the impedance test, the bound impedance of the binding connection between the output pin of the driver chip and the display panel is obtained by respectively performing impedance test on the main test structure and the auxiliary test structure and performing comparison calculation instead of directly testing the bound impedance of the binding connection between the output pin of the driver chip and the display panel. The method for testing the bound impedance by using a comparative measurement method can solve the problem that the bound impedance is abnormal and cannot be accurately detected due to overlarge impedance of metal wiring on a panel in the prior art, and realizes accurate detection of the bound impedance.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fact that the impedance of the secondary test structure is the same as the impedance of the second test structure means that the impedances of the secondary test structure and the second test structure are substantially the same, that is, the impedances of the secondary test structure and the second test structure are considered to be the same within a certain error range. Specifically, the impedance of the sub-test structure is Z1, and the impedance of the second test structure is Z2, wherein | Z1-Z2 | ≦ 4 Ω. In the prior art, the binding impedance of a single control output pin and a display panel is usually less than 5 Ω, and the first test structure includes two output binding units connected in series, so that the binding impedance of the main test structure needs to be controlled and less than 2 × 5 Ω during testing. Setting | Z1-Z2 | ≦ 40%. multidot.10Ω, that is, the difference between the impedance of the sub test structure and the impedance of the second test structure is less than 40% of the bound impedance control value, so as to ensure that poor binding of the output pin during the impedance test can be obviously reflected.
Specifically, the embodiment of the invention provides a test method for a display module, which can be used for testing the binding impedance of the binding connection between the output pin of the driver chip and the display panel in the display module provided by the embodiment of the invention. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a testing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the testing method includes:
step S101: and performing impedance test on the main test structure to obtain a first impedance, wherein the main test structure comprises a first test structure and a second test structure, and the first impedance is the sum of the impedance of the first test structure and the impedance of the second test structure.
Step S102: carrying out impedance test on the auxiliary test structure to obtain a second impedance; in the implementation of the invention, the impedance of the secondary test structure is the same as the impedance of the second test structure, i.e. the impedance of the second test structure is low-temperature impedance.
Step S103: and comparing the first impedance with the second impedance to obtain the impedance of the output binding unit. The impedance of the first test structure can be obtained by comparing the difference between the first impedance and the second impedance, wherein the first test structure comprises two output binding units connected in series, i.e. the impedance of the output binding units can be obtained.
According to the testing method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the output bound impedance is tested by using a method of a comparative measurement method, the problem that the bound impedance is abnormal and cannot be accurately detected due to overlarge impedance of metal wires on a panel in the prior art can be solved, and the accurate detection of the bound impedance is realized.

The two output pins 21 are electrically connected inside the driver chip 20 in the main test structure 41 to realize the series connection of the two output binding units C1.
As shown in fig. 3, the sub-test structure 42 includes a second metal trace 52 on the display panel 10, and the resistance of the second metal trace 52 is equal to the sum of the resistances of the two first metal traces 51. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fact that the resistance of the second metal trace 52 is equal to the sum of the resistances of the two first metal traces 51 is understood that the resistance of the second metal trace 52 is approximately the same as the sum of the resistances of the two first metal traces 51, that is, the difference between the resistances of the two first metal traces 51 can be considered as the same resistance within a certain error range. Specifically, the resistance of the second metal trace is R1, and the sum of the resistances of the two first metal traces is R2, where | R1-R2 | ≦ 4 Ω, i.e., so that the difference between the impedance of the sub-test structure and the impedance of the second test structure is less than 40% of the bound impedance control value, thereby ensuring that the poor binding of the output pin during the impedance test can be obviously reflected.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first metal line 51 and the second metal line 52 are connected to the test point on the flexible circuit board 30 to implement the test of the bound impedance. In this way, no test point needs to be disposed on the display panel 10, and the space of the non-display area BA of the display panel 10 can be saved.

The two ends of the second metal trace 52 are respectively connected to a first connection pin 13, and the second metal trace 52 can be connected to the wires 33 on the flexible circuit board 30 through the first connection pin 13 and the second connection pin 31, and then connected to the corresponding test points (not shown) through the wires 33. Specifically, the lengths of the wires 32 and 33 are the same to ensure the accuracy of the bound impedance test.
