TFT LCD screens may exhibit various adverse phenomena, such as bright spots, dark spots, blurred screens, garbled text, etc. This article will provide a detailed analysis of common defects in TFT LCD screens and propose corresponding solutions.
Analysis of Defects in TFT LCD Screen
1. Highlights, Dark Spots, and Colorful Spots
Bright spots, dark spots, and colored spots usually refer to small abnormal dots that appear on TFT LCD screens in black or white images. Highlight refers to one or more pixels on the screen that always appear fully lit, while dark spots remain unlit. Color dots are points that display colors that are significantly different from the surrounding pixels. These phenomena are usually caused by collisions or squeezes on the screen during production or use, resulting in pixel damage. In addition, short circuits or open circuits inside the screen may also cause the appearance of bright and dark spots.
2. Flower screen
Flower screen refers to the irregular flower dots or stripes displayed on a TFT LCD screen, which cannot display images normally. The phenomenon of screen flickering is usually caused by software or hardware problems. In terms of software, it may be due to program errors or improper initialization code settings; In terms of hardware, it may be due to issues such as virtual soldering of components on FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit), low or high resistance of crystal oscillator, and poor crimping of FPC.
3. garbled characters
Garbled text refers to the content displayed on a TFT LCD screen being chaotic and unrecognizable. The phenomenon of garbled characters is usually caused by the misalignment between the PCB board and the PIN pins of the LCD screen, and the inability of the electrodes to correspond one-to-one. In addition, damage to the PCB substrate, external drying (such as shock waves, static electricity, etc.) interference, and problems with the chip itself may also lead to the occurrence of garbled characters.
4. Uneven grayscale
The uniformity of grayscale ratio is crucial for the display effect of TFT LCD screens. If the grayscale is uneven, it can cause color bands or obvious stair steps in the displayed image, seriously affecting the user experience. Gray scale unevenness is usually caused by insufficient resolution of display devices, improper adjustment of gray scale ratios, or improper use of calibration tools.
5. Color cast
Color cast refers to the deviation between the color displayed on a TFT LCD screen and the actual color. Color cast phenomenon is usually caused by insufficient color management level of display devices, improper daily maintenance, or improper use of color correction tools. Color cast can cause color distortion in the image that users see, affecting their viewing experience.
6. Leakage of light
Leakage refers to the halo appearing at the edge or corner of a TFT LCD screen when displaying a black image. The phenomenon of light leakage is usually caused by the border being pressed against the screen during assembly. Although light leakage is not easily detected in normal use, it is very noticeable when displaying detection images in a completely black environment. Leakage of light can affect the display effect and user experience of the screen.
7. Scratches
Scratches on TFT LCD screens are a sign of poor appearance. Although they do not directly affect the display function, they can affect the display effect. Scratches are usually caused by screens being scratched by hard objects during production or use. Scratches not only affect aesthetics, but may also cause the protective film on the screen surface to peel off, further affecting the display effect.
Solution to poor performance of TFT LCD screen
1. Highlight, Dark Spot, and Color Spot Solutions
For bright and dark spot issues, if the quantity is small and does not affect normal use, the entire screen can be replaced through after-sales service. If the quantity is large or seriously affects use, a new LCD screen needs to be replaced. For color dot issues, you can try adjusting the color settings of the display device or performing color correction, but the effect is usually limited. If the color dots are caused by internal circuit problems of the screen, a new LCD screen needs to be replaced.
2. Flower screen solution
For the issue of screen distortion, the first step is to check whether there are any program errors or improper initialization code settings in the software. If there are no software issues, it is necessary to check whether there are problems such as virtual soldering of FPC components, abnormal crystal resistance, or poor FPC crimping in the hardware. For hardware issues, it is necessary to repair or replace the corresponding components or FPC.
3. Solution to garbled characters
For the problem of garbled characters, the first step is to check whether the connection between the PCB board and the LCD screen PIN pins is firm, and whether the electrodes correspond one-to-one. If the connection is poor or the electrode is misaligned, it needs to be reassembled or adjusted. In addition, it is necessary to check whether the PCB substrate is damaged and whether there are external drying interference issues. For damaged PCB substrates or external interference issues, it is necessary to replace them with new PCB substrates or take corresponding protective measures.
4. Solution for uneven grayscale
For the problem of uneven grayscale, it can be solved by increasing the resolution of the display device, adjusting the grayscale ratio, or using specialized calibration tools. Improving resolution can make the displayed image more delicate; Adjusting the grayscale ratio can achieve overall uniformity; The use of specialized calibration tools can greatly improve the uniformity of grayscale ratios.
5. Color deviation solution
For color cast problems, they can be solved by improving the color management level of display devices, strengthening daily maintenance, or using professional color correction tools. Improving color management level can avoid color deviation; Strengthening daily maintenance can timely detect and solve color deviation problems; Using professional color correction tools can improve the accuracy of color reproduction.
6. Leakage solution
For the problem of light leakage, it is usually necessary to pay attention to the gap control between the frame and the screen and adjust the crimping pressure during the assembly process. If the light leakage phenomenon has already occurred, you can try adjusting the position or pressure of the border to alleviate the light leakage phenomenon. However, it should be noted that the phenomenon of light leakage is usually difficult to completely eliminate and can only be mitigated to a certain extent.
7. Scratch solution
For scratches, they can be solved by replacing the polarizer or the entire screen. If the scratch is minor and does not affect normal use, you can try using a professional screen protector to cover the scratch area; If the scratch is severe or affects the usability, a new polarizer or the entire screen needs to be replaced.
Summary
As an important component of modern electronic devices, the performance and quality of TFT LCD screens are directly related to user experience and overall device quality. However, during production and use, TFT LCD screens may exhibit various adverse phenomena. By analyzing these adverse phenomena and proposing solutions, we can better understand and solve the problems encountered in the use of TFT LCD screens, thereby improving the quality of equipment and user experience. Meanwhile, for manufacturers of TFT LCD screens, strengthening raw material control and quality inspection is also an important means to improve product quality and reduce the occurrence of defects.
