Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a plurality of signal lines and a testing circuit. The testing circuit includes a plurality of output channels electrically connected to some of the plurality of signal lines and a plurality of switches. The plurality of switches are connected to the plurality of signal lines via the plurality of output channels. The overall plurality of output channels of the testing circuit are less than the overall plurality of signal lines in quantity. There are at least two via holes overlapping one of the plurality of output channels.

Claims (14)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a plurality of signal lines; and

a testing circuit, comprising a plurality of output channels electrically connected to some of the plurality of signal lines and a plurality of switches, wherein the plurality of switches are connected to the plurality of signal lines via the plurality of output channels,

wherein the plurality of output channels of the testing circuit are less than the plurality of signal lines in quantity, and there are at least two via holes overlapping one of the plurality of output channels.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein one of the at least two via holes is electrically connected to a first metal layer, and another one of the at least two via holes is electrically connected to a second metal layer, wherein the first metal layer and the second metal layer are not directly electrically connected.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of switches are controlled according to a plurality of control signals.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

an isolation circuit, located between the testing circuit and the plurality of signal lines.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the isolation circuit comprises:

a plurality of other switches, wherein one of the plurality of other switches is electrically connected between one of the plurality of output channels and one of the plurality of signal lines.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein adjacent two of the plurality of other switches are electrically connected to the same one of the plurality of output channels, and are respectively electrically connected to adjacent two of the plurality of signal lines.

7. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein adjacent two of the plurality of other switches are respectively electrically connected to adjacent two of the plurality of output channels.

8. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the isolation circuit comprises:

a control signal input terminal, electrically connected to a control terminal of at least one of the plurality of other switches.
