(inspection method)
Be the inspection method that is used for display device that is applicable to first embodiment below:
The inspection method that is used for display device, described display device comprises:
Effective display part of forming by a plurality of display elements;
The first wiring group, its be set in place in the periphery of the outside of effective display part one distolateral on, and comprise the wiring that is connected with odd-numbered scan lines, the drive signal that is provided to this odd-numbered scan lines is used for the display element of On/Off on odd-numbered line; And
The second wiring group, its be arranged on another of periphery distolateral on, and comprise the wiring that is connected with the even-line interlace line, the drive signal that is provided to this even-line interlace line is used for the display element of On/Off on even number line;
Described inspection method comprises:
Check that with first signal inputs to the first inspection wiring that is connected with first wiring of the first wiring group, check that with second signal inputs to the second inspection wiring that is connected with second wiring (adjacent with first wiring) of the first wiring group, check that with first signal inputs to the first inspection wiring that is connected with the 3rd wiring of the second wiring group, and check that with second signal inputs to the second inspection wiring that is connected with the 4th wiring (adjacent with the 3rd wiring) of the second wiring group; And
According to the input of the first and second inspection signals, check line defct, the line defct in the second wiring group and odd-numbered scan lines in effective display part and the defective in the even-line interlace line in the first wiring group.
Particularly, in this inspection method, the probe 101 of checkout facility 100 is connected with the input pad of the pad part 44 of display panels 1.At predetermined regularly place, stimulus part 103 is divided 102 switching signals that produce to input to switch signal line 54 by signal generator.Input by switching signal, in suitable timing place, the on-off element 61 of start signal ray examination part 41, first sweep trace are checked the first on-off element 62A of part 42 and the 3rd on-off element 63A and the 4th on-off element 63B of second switch element 62B and second sweep trace inspection part 43.
Based on the unlatching of the first on-off element 62A, stimulus part 103 checks that signal inputs to the first inspection wiring 52 that is connected with first wiring 21 of the first wiring group 20 to first.Therefore first check signal provide to first 21 odd-numbered scan lines that are connected that connect up.By first input of checking signal,, open the on-off element 7 that is connected with odd-numbered scan lines in effective display part 6 in suitable timing place.
In addition, based on the unlatching of second switch element 62B, stimulus part 103 checks that signal inputs to the second inspection wiring 53 that is connected with second wiring 22 of the first wiring group 20 to second.Therefore second check signal provide to second 22 odd-numbered scan lines that are connected that connect up.By second input of checking signal, machine is when appropriate opened the on-off element 7 that is connected with odd-numbered scan lines in effective display part 6.
On the other hand, based on the unlatching of the 3rd on-off element 63A, stimulus part 103 checks that signal inputs to the first inspection wiring 52 that is connected with the 3rd wiring 33 of the second wiring group 30 to first.Thereby, check that signal offers and the 3rd wiring 33 even-line interlace lines that are connected to first.By first input of checking signal,, open the on-off element 7 that is connected with even-line interlace line in effective display part 6 in suitable timing place.
In addition, based on the unlatching of the 4th on-off element 63B, stimulus part 103 checks that signal inputs to the second inspection wiring 53 that is connected with the 4th wiring 34 of the second wiring group 30 to second.Therefore second check signal provide to the 4th 34 even-line interlace lines that are connected that connect up.By second input of checking signal,, open the on-off element 7 that is connected with even-line interlace line in effective display part 6 in suitable timing place.
Subsequently, according to first and second inputs of checking signals, can check short circuit and the effectively odd-numbered scan lines in the display part 6 and the short circuit between the even-line interlace line between the 3rd wiring the 33 and the 4th wiring 34 of short circuit between first wiring, 21 and second wiring 22 of the first wiring group 20, the second wiring group 30.In this checks step, signal generator divide 102 by signal wire inspection wiring 51 (B) checking that vision signal inputs to each signal line X, wherein effectively the on-off element 7 in the display part 6 is opened for R, G.Therefore will check that vision signal writes the display element PX in effective display part 6 of display panels 1.By writing the inspection vision signal, can detect the line defct of the various wirings on the display panels 1.
Particularly, as shown in Figure 4, at place regularly when with signal when first wiring 21 of the first wiring group 20 inputs to relevant odd-numbered scan lines, check that from first wiring 52 inputs first check signal, and an inspection vision signal inputed to each signal line X.In this case, if between first wiring, 21 and second wiring 22 of the first wiring group 20, short circuit occurs, if for example between wiring W1 and wiring W3, be short-circuited, first checks that signal not only offers the sweep trace Y1 that is connected with the W1 that connects up, and offers the sweep trace Y3 that is connected with the W3 that connects up.Therefore, open the on-off element 7 of the display element PX be connected with sweep trace Y3 simultaneously, and the on-off element 7 of the display element PX that is connected with sweep trace Y1 of unlatching.Under normal circumstances, open and sweep trace Y1, Y5, Y9 ... the on-off element 7 of the display element PX of connection.Yet, owing to the short circuit between wiring W1 and the W3, can open and sweep trace Y1, Y3, Y5 and Y9 ... the on-off element 7 of the display element PX of connection.
By this way, provide the inspection vision signal, so also open the relevant display element PX on the display panels 1 if open therein under the state of each on-off element 7.By observing the opening of the relevant display element PX on the display panels 1, just can check the short circuit that first wiring 21 and second of the first wiring group 20 is connected up between 22.
Similarly,, check that from second wiring 53 inputs second check signal, and an inspection signal is inputed to each signal line X when when second wiring 22 of the first wiring group 20 inputs to signal relevant odd-numbered scan lines at place regularly.Therefore can detect the short circuit between first wiring, 21 and second wiring 22 of checking the first wiring group 20.
