[ technical field ] A method for producing a semiconductor device

[ background of the invention ]

Loads (loading) of different panels are different, and even in the case where the same scanning signal is input, actual waveforms on the scanning lines are different. How to detect the output wave of the scan line therefore forms a hot spot for research.

Because the in-plane signals are isolated from the outside by the MOS, the in-plane signals cannot be directly tested, and are fragile, and are easily interfered and bring ESD risks if the in-plane signals are directly connected with the outside. Therefore, the charging condition of the in-plane scanning line can be estimated roughly only by simulating a clock signal, but the actual charging condition of the scanning line cannot be obtained accurately, so that a great deal of invariance is brought to debugging and repairing, and the product yield is reduced.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for testing a display panel to solve the problems of the prior art.
