The testing metal line starts with a first test point and ends with a second test point, and the first test point and the second point are not connected with each other to form an open circuit. The first test point and the second test point are configured to electrically connect to an external resistance test instrument to detect a resistance value of the test metal line. | 2020-03-19 |
20200090565 | CORRECTION DATA GENERATING DEVICE, COMPUTER PROGRAM, METHOD FOR GENERATING CORRECTION DATA, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING DISPLAY PANEL - A correction data generating device is a device generating correction data for correcting input grayscale level vs. luminance characteristics of a plurality of pixels included in a display region of a display panel, and includes a display controller supplying each of the plurality of pixels with display signal voltages corresponding to two or more grayscale levels; an acquisition portion acquiring two or more luminances of each of the plurality of pixels supplied with the display signal voltages respectively corresponding to the two or more grayscale levels; a specification portion specifying, among the plurality of pixels, at least one abnormal pixel, the input grayscale level vs. luminance characteristic of which needs to be corrected and also specifying at least one correction target grayscale level including a grayscale level that needs to be corrected, based on the two or more luminances of each of the plurality of pixels acquired by the acquisition portion; and a generation portion generating correction data based on the at least one abnormal pixel and the at least one correction target grayscale level specified by the specification portion. | 2020-03-19 |
20200090566 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND A TESTING METHOD THEREOF - A display device including: a substrate including a display area and a peripheral area peripheral to the display area; a plurality of pads disposed in a pad area, wherein the pad area is disposed in the peripheral area and the pad area includes an integrated circuit (IC); and a first crack detecting line connected to a first pad and a second pad at a first node, and a third pad at a second node, wherein the first crack detecting line is disposed in the peripheral area between the first node and the second node. | 2020-03-19 |
