栅极驱动电路及其单元和一种显示器Gate driving circuit and its unit and a display

技术领域technical field

本申请涉及电子领域,具体涉及一种显示器及其栅极驱动电路和栅极驱动单元电路。The present application relates to the field of electronics, in particular to a display and its gate drive circuit and gate drive unit circuit.

背景技术Background technique

薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)面板显示(Flat Panel Display,FPD)是当今显示技术的主流。近年来,采用TFT集成的栅极驱动电路设计(gate driverin array,GIA)开始被广泛地用于中小尺寸显示面板,甚至大尺寸显示面板中。通过合理的电路设计,即使采用a-Si TFT也可能得到性能良好的GIA电路,在电路响应速度、稳定性、功耗等方面满足显示应用的需求。集成了栅极驱动电路的显示面板具有窄边框、高分辨率、价格低廉等优势。Thin Film Transistor (TFT) panel display (Flat Panel Display, FPD) is the mainstream of display technology today. In recent years, the gate driver circuit design (gate driver in array, GIA) using TFT integration has begun to be widely used in small and medium-sized display panels, and even large-sized display panels. Through reasonable circuit design, even if a-Si TFT is used, it is possible to obtain a GIA circuit with good performance, which can meet the needs of display applications in terms of circuit response speed, stability, and power consumption. The display panel integrated with the gate driving circuit has the advantages of narrow frame, high resolution, and low price.

氧化物晶体管(IGZO TFT)具有高的迁移率,更好的稳定性而更适合于高分辨率、大面积的显示器应用,因此,IGZO TFT更有可能成为未来的主流TFT技术。基于IGZO TFT的新型高性能GIA电路的研制引起了研究者的极大关注。IGZO TFT由于迁移率高等优势能够大幅度地提高电路的性能。在a-Si或者有机TFT等场合,由于迁移率过低,许多电路技术的应用受到局限,例如反馈电路单元等因为速度过慢而无法体现应有的效用。而IGZO TFT的引入则可能以柔性或者透明显示面板为平台让更丰富的电路技术得以实施,使得显示面板系统(System on Paenl,SoP)更为智能。Oxide transistor (IGZO TFT) has high mobility, better stability and is more suitable for high-resolution, large-area display applications. Therefore, IGZO TFT is more likely to become the mainstream TFT technology in the future. The development of new high-performance GIA circuits based on IGZO TFT has attracted great attention of researchers. Due to the advantages of high mobility and other advantages, IGZO TFT can greatly improve the performance of the circuit. In the case of a-Si or organic TFT, due to the low mobility, the application of many circuit technologies is limited. For example, the feedback circuit unit cannot reflect the due effect because the speed is too slow. The introduction of IGZO TFT may use flexible or transparent display panels as a platform to implement richer circuit technologies, making the display panel system (System on Paenl, SoP) more intelligent.

近年来,具备多扫描模式特征的集成栅极驱动电路设计引起了TFT FPD产业界的关注。以双向扫描模式为例,在外围时钟信号配合下,栅极驱动电路不仅能够顺次地从小序号数的栅极线依次扫描到大序号数的栅极线,而且能够从大序号数的栅极线扫描到小序号数的栅极线。增加了双向扫描特征之后,TFTFPD获得如下好处:(1)当FPD在正向、反向扫描模式之间进行切换时,可以在垂直于栅线方向实现显示图像的镜像。这增强了FPD的操作性、趣味性和使用者的好感度。(2)显示面板的配置更加灵活,更方便地满足不同设计者的需求。In recent years, the design of integrated gate drive circuits with multi-scan mode features has attracted the attention of the TFT FPD industry. Taking the bidirectional scanning mode as an example, with the cooperation of the peripheral clock signal, the gate drive circuit can not only sequentially scan the gate lines with the small serial number to the gate lines with the large serial number, but also can scan from the gate line with the large serial number. Line scan to the gate line with a small sequence number. After adding the bidirectional scanning feature, TFTFPD obtains the following benefits: (1) When the FPD is switched between the forward and reverse scanning modes, the mirror image of the displayed image can be realized in the direction perpendicular to the grid lines. This enhances the operability, fun and user's favorability of the FPD. (2) The configuration of the display panel is more flexible, and it is more convenient to meet the needs of different designers.

现有技术中,实现双向集成栅极驱动电路一般有两种方法:一为设计两套扫描电路,分别用于实现正向、反向扫描;二为增加控制扫描方向的电信号。采用这两种方法来实现栅极驱动电路的效果均不理想。这是因为,第一种方法需采用复杂的电路结构,用到的TFT数量几乎为单向扫描栅极驱动电路中TFT数量的两倍。在任意工作时段,第一种栅极驱动电路中,几乎总是有一半的器件处于闲置状态。上述第二种方法能够减少TFT的数量,但是控制信号的数量却增加了,而且这些新增加的控制信号会增加栅极驱动电路中TFT的电压偏置时间,缩短了栅极驱动电路的使用寿命。In the prior art, there are generally two ways to implement a bidirectional integrated gate drive circuit: one is to design two sets of scanning circuits for forward and reverse scanning respectively; the other is to add electrical signals to control the scanning direction. The effect of using these two methods to realize the gate driving circuit is not ideal. This is because the first method needs to adopt a complicated circuit structure, and the number of TFTs used is almost twice the number of TFTs in the unidirectional scanning gate driving circuit. During any period of operation, half of the devices in the first type of gate drive circuit are almost always idle. The second method above can reduce the number of TFTs, but the number of control signals increases, and these newly added control signals will increase the voltage bias time of TFTs in the gate drive circuit, shortening the service life of the gate drive circuit .

综上所述,IGZO TFT更适于设计多模式的GIA电路。例如,IGZO TFT的泄露电流较小,在显示静态图像时候的,TFT面板阵列的刷新频率可以减小,这不仅可以减少TFT面板的功耗、延长移动TFT面板的电池续航时间,而且对于减少使用者的眼睛疲劳具有优势。于是IGZO TFT的GIA设计提出了新的要求:其一,要求IGZO TFT的GIA电路具有多种扫描模式;其二,既能够输出较高频率的扫描脉冲显示动态图像,又能够以较小的刷新频率来显示静态图像。但是,常规的GIA设计并不支持多扫描模式的功能。因此,需要研究新的IGZOTFT的GIA方案,使得其具有多扫描模式功能,而且电路结构较简单、外围连接线数量较少。In summary, IGZO TFT is more suitable for designing multi-mode GIA circuits. For example, the leakage current of IGZO TFT is small, and the refresh frequency of the TFT panel array can be reduced when displaying static images, which can not only reduce the power consumption of the TFT panel, prolong the battery life of the mobile TFT panel, but also reduce the use of Those with eyestrain have an advantage. Therefore, the GIA design of IGZO TFT puts forward new requirements: first, the GIA circuit of IGZO TFT is required to have multiple scanning modes; frequency to display static images. However, conventional GIA designs do not support the multi-scan mode functionality. Therefore, it is necessary to study the new GIA scheme of IGZOTFT, so that it has multi-scan mode function, and the circuit structure is relatively simple, and the number of peripheral connection lines is small.

Using IGZO TFT to design the GIA circuit may further increase the speed of the circuit, further enhance the stability, and further reduce power consumption. Compared with silicon-based TFTs, IGZO TFTs have a smaller leakage current, so when displaying static images, the refresh frequency of the TFT panel can be reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the TFT panel.

相关研究表明,非晶或者C轴取向的晶态IGZO TFT的泄露电流可能小至10-20A/um,这比硅基半导体器件小若干数量级。而且先进工艺制备的IGZO TFT的亚阈值斜率可以接近甚至突破硅基半导体器件的亚阈值斜率的极限值。换言之,IGZO TFT的重要特性之一是其能够较彻底地关断。利用IGZO TFT的优秀关断特性,TFT面板阵列的刷新频率可能减小,这可能在某些显示场合减少TFT面板的功耗、减少使用者的用眼疲劳。例如,对于彩色电子纸或者彩色电润湿显示器而言,当显示静态图像时,TFT面板的帧频可能减少到0.1Hz甚至更小;当显示动态彩色图像时,TFT面板的帧频则恢复到普通的60Hz或者更高一些。Related studies have shown that the leakage current of amorphous or C-axis-oriented crystalline IGZO TFTs may be as small as 10-20 A/um, which is several orders of magnitude smaller than that of silicon-based semiconductor devices. Moreover, the sub-threshold slope of the IGZO TFT prepared by advanced technology can approach or even break through the limit value of the sub-threshold slope of silicon-based semiconductor devices. In other words, one of the important characteristics of the IGZO TFT is that it can be turned off relatively completely. Utilizing the excellent turn-off characteristics of IGZO TFT, the refresh frequency of the TFT panel array may be reduced, which may reduce the power consumption of the TFT panel and reduce the eye fatigue of users in some display occasions. For example, for color electronic paper or color electrowetting displays, when displaying static images, the frame rate of the TFT panel may be reduced to 0.1Hz or even less; when displaying dynamic color images, the frame rate of the TFT panel is restored to Ordinary 60Hz or higher.

鉴于此,本申请实施例以晶体管是IGZO TFT为例对本申请作进一步详细说明。需要说明的是,本申请的电路结构也适于采用其它氧化物晶体管或者其他的迁移率较高、关态电流较小的晶体管。In view of this, the embodiment of the present application will further describe the present application in detail by taking the transistor as an example of an IGZO TFT.

低电平维持模块5包括低电平维持使能单元4和第一低电平维持单元51。低电平维持使能单元4包括第六晶体管T6和第二电容C2。第六晶体管T6的控制极耦合到信号输出端,第一极耦合到低电平维持使能端P,第二极耦合到低电平端;第二电容C2的一端耦合到第一时钟信号输入端,另一端耦合到低电平维持使能端P。The low level maintaining module 5 includes a low level maintaining enablingunit 4 and a first lowlevel maintaining unit 51 . The low level maintaining enablingunit 4 includes a sixth transistor T6 and a second capacitor C2. The control pole of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the signal output terminal, the first pole is coupled to the low-level maintenance enabling terminal P, and the second pole is coupled to the low-level terminal; one end of the second capacitor C2 is coupled to the first clock signal input terminal , and the other end is coupled to the low-level maintenance enable end P.

第一低电平维持单元51包括:第四晶体管T4和第七晶体管T7。第四晶体管T4的控制极用于输入第三时钟信号VC,第一极耦合到信号输出端,第二极耦合到低电平端;第七晶体管T7的控制极耦合到低电平维持使能端P,第一极耦合到信号输出端,第二极耦合到低电平端。The first lowlevel maintaining unit 51 includes: a fourth transistor T4 and a seventh transistor T7. The control pole of the fourth transistor T4 is used to input the third clock signal VC , the first pole is coupled to the signal output terminal, and the second pole is coupled to the low-level terminal; the control pole of the seventh transistor T7 is coupled to the low-level maintenance enable Terminal P, the first pole is coupled to the signal output terminal, and the second pole is coupled to the low level terminal.

进一步,在另一种具体实施例中,低电平维持模块5还可以包括第二低电平维持单元52,第二低电平维持单元52包括第五晶体管T5。第五晶体管T5的控制极耦合到低电平维持使能端P,第一极耦合到驱动控制端Q,第二极耦合到低电平端。Further, in another specific embodiment, the low-level maintaining module 5 may further include a second low-level maintaining unit 52, and the second low-level maintaining unit 52 includes a fifth transistor T5. The control electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is coupled to the low-level maintaining enabling terminal P, the first electrode is coupled to the driving control terminal Q, and the second electrode is coupled to the low-level terminal.

在其它实施例中,上述各模块/单元也可以采用现有的其它方案。In other embodiments, the above-mentioned modules/units may also adopt other existing solutions.

在一种具体实施例中,结合第一输入模块1和第二输入模块2,当控制信号VCTR为低电平时,第十五晶体管T15和第十六晶体管T16关断,栅极驱动电路单元具有正常的正向/反向扫描模式功能。由于级联的第一开关晶体管T11的控制极(例如栅极)短接,因此,级联的第一开关晶体管T11可以等效为一个开关晶体管,并由第一脉冲信号VI1控制其导通/断开;同样的,级联的第二开关晶体管T14也可以等效为一个开关晶体管,并由第二脉冲信号VI2控制其导通/断开。In a specific embodiment, in combination with thefirst input module 1 and thesecond input module 2, when the control signal VCTR is at a low level, the fifteenth transistor T15 and the sixteenth transistor T16 are turned off, and the gate drive circuit unit Has normal forward/reverse scan mode functionality. Since the control electrode (for example, the gate) of the cascaded first switching transistor T11 is short-circuited, the cascaded first switching transistor T11 can be equivalent to a switching transistor, and its conduction is controlled by the first pulse signal VI1 Similarly, the cascaded second switching transistor T14 can also be equivalent to a switching transistor, and its on/off is controlled by the second pulse signal VI2 .

当控制信号VCTR为高平时,第十五晶体管T15/第十六晶体管T16导通,级联的第一开关晶体管T11与第十五晶体管T15互连的节点被钳置于低电平端,保持低电位;同样的,级联的第二开关晶体管T14与第十六晶体管T16互连的节点也被钳置于低电平端,保持低电位。因此,无论是正向或者反向扫描模式,驱动控制端Q的电位都无法上升到较高电位。栅极驱动电路单元均输出零电平,停止扫描功能。When the control signal VCTR is high, the fifteenth transistor T15/the sixteenth transistor T16 is turned on, and the interconnection node of the cascaded first switching transistor T11 and the fifteenth transistor T15 is clamped at the low level end, keeping Low potential; similarly, the interconnection node of the second cascaded switch transistor T14 and the sixteenth transistor T16 is also clamped to the low level end to keep the low potential. Therefore, no matter in the forward or reverse scanning mode, the potential of the driving control terminal Q cannot rise to a higher potential. The gate driving circuit units all output zero level, and the scanning function is stopped.

下文将以第三种栅极驱动电路单元为例针对图1阐述本申请技术方案的工作过程。对于第一种和第二种栅极驱动电路单元工作过程,本领域技术人员可以很容易根据本实施例公开的内容分析得出,因此不再赘述。如图2所示为本实施例中移位寄存器单元正向扫描模式的时序图,对于反向扫描模式,原理相同,在此不再另绘时序图。该移位寄存器单元的工作过程可以分为五个阶段:(1)预充电阶段,(2)上拉阶段,(3)下拉阶段,(4)放电阶段,(5)低电平维持阶段。下面将详细说明这五个阶段的工作过程。The working process of the technical solution of the present application will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 by taking the third gate driving circuit unit as an example. Those skilled in the art can easily analyze the working process of the first and second gate drive circuit units based on the content disclosed in this embodiment, so details are not repeated here. As shown in FIG. 2 , the timing diagram of the forward scanning mode of the shift register unit in this embodiment is shown. For the reverse scanning mode, the principle is the same, and no further timing diagram is drawn here. The working process of the shift register unit can be divided into five stages: (1) pre-charging stage, (2) pull-up stage, (3) pull-down stage, (4) discharge stage, (5) low-level maintenance stage. The working process of these five stages will be described in detail below.

(1)预充电阶段t1(1) Precharge phase t1

在预充电阶段,第一输入模块1或第二输入模块2给驱动控制端Q充电提供高电平电压,驱动模块3在自举动作触发之前被预先打开。在此阶段,必须提供足够高的开启电压给驱动模块3,避免因驱动模块3的驱动能力不足,使后续的上拉/下拉过程中出现较严重的拖尾现象。In the pre-charging stage, thefirst input module 1 or thesecond input module 2 charges the drive control terminal Q to provide a high-level voltage, and the drive module 3 is pre-opened before the bootstrap action is triggered. At this stage, a sufficiently high turn-on voltage must be provided to the driving module 3 to avoid serious tailing phenomenon in the subsequent pull-up/pull-down process due to insufficient driving capability of the driver module 3 .

在此阶段,控制信号VCTR为低电平,第十五晶体管T15和第十六晶体管T16被关断。在正向扫描模式情况下,第一脉冲信号VI1和第四时钟信号VD为高电平,于是级联的第一开关晶体管T11被导通,驱动控制端Q被充电到高电平状态;在反向扫描模式情况下,第二脉冲信号VI2和第二时钟信号VB为高电平,于是级联的第十四晶体管T14被导通,驱动控制端Q被充电到高电平状态。At this stage, the control signal VCTR is at a low level, and the fifteenth transistor T15 and the sixteenth transistor T16 are turned off. In the forward scanning mode, the first pulse signal VI1 and the fourth clock signal VD are at high level, so the cascaded first switching transistor T11 is turned on, and the drive control terminal Q is charged to a high level state ; In the case of reverse scan mode, the second pulse signal VI2 and the second clock signal VB are high level, so the fourteenth transistor T14 in cascade is turned on, and the drive control terminal Q is charged to high level state.

总之,无论是正向或者反向扫描,在预充电阶段t1,驱动控制端Q被充电到高电平状态,第二晶体管T2被充分打开。这为接下来的上拉阶段做好了准备。第二晶体管T2被打开的程度越充分,接下来的上拉/下拉阶段中,第二晶体管T2的驱动能力越强。In a word, regardless of forward scanning or reverse scanning, in the pre-charging phase t1, the driving control terminal Q is charged to a high level state, and the second transistor T2 is fully turned on. This sets the stage for the next pull-up phase. The more fully the second transistor T2 is turned on, the stronger the driving capability of the second transistor T2 will be in the subsequent pull-up/pull-down phase.

(2)上拉阶段t2(2) Pull-up phase t2

继预充电阶段t1之后是上拉阶段t2。在上拉阶段t2,第一时钟信号VA为高电平,在第一时钟信号VA的作用下,通过自举原理,驱动模块3以较强的驱动能力将信号输出端上拉到高电平。在扫描过程中,平板显示阵列中的开关器件的开启程度与扫描脉冲的幅度以及有效扫描脉冲时间密切相关。所以上拉阶段时,驱动模块3的响应速度必须足够快。Following the pre-charge phase t1 is the pull-up phase t2. In the pull-up phase t2, the first clock signal VA is at a high level, and under the action of the first clock signal VA , through the bootstrap principle, the driving module 3 pulls the signal output terminal to a high level with a strong driving capability level. During the scanning process, the turn-on degree of the switching devices in the flat panel display array is closely related to the amplitude of the scanning pulse and the effective scanning pulse time. Therefore, during the pull-up phase, the response speed of the driving module 3 must be fast enough.

在上拉阶段t2,第一脉冲信号VI1和第二脉冲信号VI2均为低电平,因此,与驱动控制端Q相连的第一开关晶体管T11和T14均处于断开状态。换言之,在上拉阶段t2,驱动控制端Q是一种悬浮的状态。In the pull-up phase t2, both the first pulse signal VI1 and the second pulse signal VI2 are at low level, therefore, the first switching transistors T11 and T14 connected to the driving control terminal Q are both in an off state. In other words, during the pull-up phase t2, the drive control terminal Q is in a suspended state.

此外,由于第二晶体管T2已经在预充电阶段t1被开启而处于闭合导通状态,而且驱动控制端Q几乎是悬浮的,故第二晶体管T2在上拉阶段保持为导通状态。由于第二晶体管T2已经在预充电阶段t1被开启而处于闭合状态,第二晶体管T2的CGD2(第一极和控制极之间的电容,例如栅极-漏极电容)等于CGS2(控制极和第二极之间的电容,例如栅极-源极电容),且均为栅极介质层电容的一半。且第二晶体管T2的第一极(例如漏极)耦合的第一时钟信号VA变成高电平,此情况带来了下面两种变化:(1)第二晶体管T2的CGD2将第一时钟信号VA的高电平耦合到驱动控制端Q,驱动控制端Q上的电位因为耦合而迅速地抬高。因此,第二晶体管T2的控制极-第二极(例如栅极-源极)电压差增加,第二晶体管T2的上拉驱动能力增强。(2)较强的电流从处于高电平状态的第一时钟信号VA通过保持闭合的第二晶体管T2流到栅极驱动电路单元的信号输出端。因此与信号输出端耦合的负载电容CL上因为正电荷的积累,其上的电平被抬高。且驱动控制端Q上的电位也随着输出脉冲驱动信号VO的电平抬高而上升。最终,输出脉冲驱动信号VO被无电压损失地上拉到第一高电平电压VH。上述过程即为电压自举效应。In addition, since the second transistor T2 has been turned on in the pre-charging phase t1 and is in the closed conduction state, and the driving control terminal Q is almost suspended, the second transistor T2 remains in the conduction state in the pull-up phase. Since the second transistor T2 has been turned on in the pre-charging phase t1 and is in the closed state, the CGD2 (capacitance between the first electrode and the control electrode, such as gate-drain capacitance) of the second transistor T2 is equal to CGS2 (control The capacitance between the pole and the second pole, such as the gate-source capacitance), is half of the capacitance of the gate dielectric layer. And the first clock signal VA coupled to the first pole (for example, the drain) of the second transistor T2 becomes a high level, which brings about the following two changes: (1) CGD2 of the second transistor T2 changes the first The high level of a clock signal VA is coupled to the drive control terminal Q, and the potential on the drive control terminal Q rises rapidly due to the coupling. Therefore, the voltage difference between the control electrode and the second electrode (for example, the gate-source electrode) of the second transistor T2 increases, and the pull-up driving capability of the second transistor T2 is enhanced. (2) A strong current flows from the first clock signal VA in a high level state to the signal output terminal of the gate drive circuit unit through the second transistor T2 kept closed. Therefore, the level of the load capacitorCL coupled to the signal output terminal is raised due to the accumulation of positive charges. And the potential on the driving control terminal Q also rises as the level of the output pulse driving signal VO rises. Finally, the output pulse driving signal VO is pulled up to the first high-level voltage VH without voltage loss. The above process is the voltage bootstrap effect.

(3)下拉阶段t3(3) Pull-down stage t3

继上拉阶段t2之后的是下拉阶段t3。在下拉阶段t3,信号输出端被下拉到低电平VL。在下拉阶段结束时,信号输出端也应将保持低电平电压VL不变。Following the pull-up phase t2 is a pull-down phase t3. In the pull-down phase t3, the signal output terminal is pulled down to a low level VL . At the end of the pull-down phase, the signal output terminal should also keep the low-level voltage VL unchanged.

在下拉阶段t3的开始时,第一时钟信号VA变为低电平。第一脉冲信号VI1和第二脉冲信号VI2仍然保持为低电平,因此第一开关晶体管T11和T14仍然保持为断开状态。从而驱动控制端Q在下拉阶段仍然保持为悬浮状态,所以在下拉阶段t3半段,第二晶体管T2仍然保持为导通。而第一时钟信号VA已经变成为低电平VL,从而栅极驱动电路单元的信号输出端被下拉到低电平电压VLAt the beginning of the pull-down period t3, the first clock signal VA becomes low level. The first pulse signal VI1 and the second pulse signal VI2 are still kept at low level, so the first switching transistors T11 and T14 are still kept in an off state. Therefore, the driving control terminal Q remains suspended during the pull-down phase, so the second transistor T2 remains turned on during the half of the pull-down phase t3. However, the first clock signal VA has changed to a low level VL , so that the signal output end of the gate driving circuit unit is pulled down to a low level voltage VL .

(4)放电阶段t4(4) Discharge stage t4

继下拉阶段t3之后的是放电阶段t4。在放电阶段t4,驱动控制端Q放电下拉到低电平状态。Following the pull-down phase t3 is the discharge phase t4. In the discharging phase t4, the driving control terminal Q is discharged and pulled down to a low level state.

在放电阶段t4,第一时钟信号VA保持为低电平,因此,信号输出端也保持低电平电压VL不变。在正向扫描模式的情况下,第二脉冲信号VI2变为高电平,从而导通第二开关晶体管T14,而第二时钟信号VB变为低电平,因此,驱动控制端Q由第二时钟信号VB通过导通的第二开关晶体管T14放电下拉到低电平状态;在反向扫描模式的情况下,第一脉冲信号VI1变为高电平,从而导通第一开关晶体管T11,而第四时钟信号VD变为低电平,因此,驱动控制端Q由第四时钟信号VD通过导通的第一开关晶体管T11放电下拉到低电平状态。In the discharge phase t4, the first clock signal VA remains at a low level, therefore, the signal output terminal also maintains a low level voltage VL unchanged. In the case of the forward scanning mode, the second pulse signal VI2 becomes high level, thereby turning on the second switching transistor T14, and the second clock signal VB becomes low level, therefore, the driving control terminal Q is controlled by The second clock signal VB is pulled down to a low level state through the discharge of the turned-on second switch transistor T14; in the case of the reverse scan mode, the first pulse signal VI1 becomes high level, thereby turning on the first switch Transistor T11, and the fourth clock signal VD becomes low level, therefore, the drive control terminal Q is pulled down to a low level state by the fourth clock signal VD through the first switching transistor T11 which is turned on.

总之,无论是正向或者反向扫描模式,在放电阶段t4,驱动控制端Q被放电下拉到低电平状态,第二晶体管T2被关断。In short, regardless of the forward or reverse scanning mode, in the discharge phase t4, the driving control terminal Q is discharged and pulled down to a low level state, and the second transistor T2 is turned off.

(5)低电平维持阶段t5(5) Low level maintenance stage t5

继放电阶段t4之后,栅极驱动电路单元进入低电平维持阶段t5。在低电平维持阶段t5,信号输出端应该保持为低电平电压VL。只有当栅极驱动电路单元的信号输出端保持为低电平电压VL,才能保证:(1)与栅极驱动电路单元的信号输出端耦合的栅极扫描线上的像素中开关薄膜晶体管保持为关闭状态,相应的像素中编程得到的像素电荷不会严重地泄露。(2)与本级栅极驱动电路单元相连的前后各级栅极驱动电路单元不会受到影响,相邻各级的驱动控制端Q不会受到本级栅极扫描信号的影响而导致错误地充电或者放电动作。Following the discharge phase t4, the gate drive circuit unit enters a low-level maintenance phase t5. In the low-level maintaining phase t5, the signal output terminal should maintain a low-level voltage VL . Only when the signal output terminal of the gate drive circuit unit is maintained at the low-level voltage VL can it be guaranteed that: (1) the switching thin film transistor in the pixel on the gate scanning line coupled with the signal output terminal of the gate drive circuit unit remains In the off state, the pixel charge programmed in the corresponding pixel will not be seriously leaked. (2) The front and rear gate drive circuit units connected to the gate drive circuit unit of this stage will not be affected, and the drive control terminals Q of adjacent stages will not be affected by the gate scan signal of this stage, resulting in incorrect charging or discharging action.

因此,本实施例中用到两路互补的时钟信号:第一时钟信号VA和第三时钟信号VC来交替地给信号输出端放电,保证信号输出端总是保持为低电平电位。Therefore, in this embodiment, two complementary clock signals are used: the first clock signalVA and the third clock signalVC to alternately discharge the signal output terminal to ensure that the signal output terminal is always kept at a low level potential.

在低电平维持阶段t5,无论正向或者反向扫描模式,当第三时钟信号VC为高电平时,第四晶体管T4被导通,信号输出端通过第四晶体管T4被耦合到低电平端,其电位被下拉到低电平电压VL;在第一时钟信号VA为高电平时,低电平维持使能端P通过第二电容C2被耦合到高电平电压,于是第五晶体管T5导通,将信号输出端耦合到低电平端,其电位被下拉到低电平电压VLIn the low-level maintenance phase t5, regardless of the forward or reverse scanning mode, when the third clock signal VC is at a high level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, and the signal output terminal is coupled to a low level through the fourth transistor T4. flat terminal, its potential is pulled down to low level voltage VL ; when the first clock signal VA is high level, the low level maintenance enabling terminal P is coupled to the high level voltage through the second capacitor C2, so the fifth The transistor T5 is turned on, and the signal output terminal is coupled to the low-level terminal, and its potential is pulled down to the low-level voltage VL .

在另一种实施例中,在第一时钟信号VA为高电平时,低电平维持使能端P获得高电平电位后,还将第五晶体管T5打开,将驱动控制端Q耦合到低电平端,从而使得在低电平维持阶段t5,能够更好地将驱动控制端Q的电位维持在低电平电压VL,有效地维持了驱动控制端Q的低电平电位。In another embodiment, when the first clock signal VA is at a high level, after the low-level maintenance enabling terminal P obtains a high-level potential, the fifth transistor T5 is also turned on, and the driving control terminal Q is coupled to The low-level end, so that in the low-level maintaining phase t5, the potential of the driving control terminal Q can be better maintained at the low-level voltage VL , effectively maintaining the low-level potential of the driving control terminal Q.

本实施例中,第六晶体管T6的作用在信号输出端为高电平时,将低电平维持使能端P下拉到低电平。可以有效地防止在信号输出端输出脉冲驱动信号VO过程中,低电平维持使能端P不被期望地上拉升压,从而导致低电平维持模块5开始工作。In this embodiment, the function of the sixth transistor T6 is to pull down the low-level maintaining enabling terminal P to a low level when the signal output terminal is at a high level. It can effectively prevent the low-level maintaining enable terminal P from being pulled up unexpectedly during the process of outputting the pulse driving signal VO at the signal output terminal, thereby causing the low-level maintaining module 5 to start working.

需要说明的是,在一种具体实施例中,级联的第一开关晶体管T11可以是1个、2个或者多个:It should be noted that, in a specific embodiment, there may be one, two or more cascaded first switch transistors T11:

请参考图3(a),为当级联的第一开关晶体管T11只有一个时第一输入模块1的结构图。该结构是一种分压结构,在第一脉冲信号VI1和控制信号VCTR同时为高电平时,第一开关晶体管T11和第十五晶体管T15均处于导通状态,于是驱动控制端Q的电位由第一开关晶体管T11和第十五晶体管T15的分压决定。在控制信号VCTR为高电平时,希望驱动控制端Q处于低电平状态,才能使得驱动模块3处于非使能状态,输出信号端保持为低电平。因此为了使得第十五晶体管T15分得的电压足够小,必须使得第十五晶体管T15的导通能力远大于第一开关晶体管T11,换言之,第十五晶体管T15的尺寸应该取得足够大。这一方面会增加第十五晶体管T15占用的面积,增加控制信号VCTR的负载量;另一方面,第十五晶体管T15的泄露电流将由于第十五晶体管T15尺寸的增加而增加。于是,尺寸过大的第十五晶体管T15可能会降低驱动控制端Q的电压幅度,从而影响扫描模式的正常工作。Please refer to FIG. 3( a ), which is a structural diagram of thefirst input module 1 when there is only one cascaded first switching transistor T11 . This structure is a voltage dividing structure. When the first pulse signal VI1 and the control signal VCTR are at high level at the same time, both the first switch transistor T11 and the fifteenth transistor T15 are in the conduction state, thus driving the control terminal Q The potential is determined by the voltage division of the first switching transistor T11 and the fifteenth transistor T15. When the control signal VCTR is at a high level, it is hoped that the driving control terminal Q is at a low level state, so that the driving module 3 is in a non-enabled state, and the output signal terminal remains at a low level. Therefore, in order to make the voltage divided by the fifteenth transistor T15 small enough, the turn-on capability of the fifteenth transistor T15 must be much greater than that of the first switch transistor T11 . In other words, the size of the fifteenth transistor T15 should be sufficiently large. On the one hand, this will increase the area occupied by the fifteenth transistor T15 and increase the load of the control signal VCTR ; on the other hand, the leakage current of the fifteenth transistor T15 will increase due to the increase in size of the fifteenth transistor T15 . Therefore, the oversized fifteenth transistor T15 may reduce the voltage amplitude of the driving control terminal Q, thereby affecting the normal operation of the scan mode.

请参考图3(b),为当级联的第一开关晶体管T11为两个时第一输入模块1的结构图。该结构是一种分流结构,在控制信号VCTR为高电平时,第十五晶体管T15处于导通状态,于是在第一脉冲信号VI1为高电平时,首级第一开关晶体管T11的输入电流通过第十五晶体管T15被旁路分流。即使尾级第一开关晶体管T11被开启,然而其第一极(例如漏极)因为分流的缘故电压较低,所以几乎没有充电电流经过尾级第一开关晶体管T11给驱动控制端Q充电。于是驱动控制端Q因为充电电流不足而维持在较低的水平。在这种分流结构中,第十五晶体管T15的尺寸不需要很大就可以有效地响应控制信号VCTR,将驱动控制端Q维持在低电平。Please refer to FIG. 3( b ), which is a structural diagram of thefirst input module 1 when there are two cascaded first switching transistors T11 . This structure is a shunt structure. When the control signal VCTR is at a high level, the fifteenth transistor T15 is in a conduction state, so when the first pulse signal VI1 is at a high level, the input of the first switching transistor T11 The current is shunted through the fifteenth transistor T15. Even if the tail-stage first switch transistor T11 is turned on, its first electrode (such as the drain) has a lower voltage due to shunting, so almost no charging current passes through the tail-stage first switch transistor T11 to charge the drive control terminal Q. Therefore, the driving control terminal Q is maintained at a lower level due to insufficient charging current. In this shunt structure, the size of the fifteenth transistor T15 does not need to be very large to effectively respond to the control signal VCTR and maintain the driving control terminal Q at a low level.

综上所述,图3(b)所示意的分流结构相比于图3(a)的分压结构,可能具有如下几项优势:(1)更有效地响应控制信号VCTR的高电平,将驱动控制端Q稳定于更低电位,起到停止扫描的作用。(2)减少了由于第十五晶体管T15漏电等对于正常扫描功能的副作用。(3)减少了由于泄露电流而可能造成的栅极驱动电路单元级间噪声电压的逐级传递和累积。To sum up, compared with the voltage divider structure shown in Figure 3(a), the shunt structure shown in Figure 3(b) may have the following advantages: (1) It responds more effectively to the high level of the control signal VCTR , to stabilize the drive control terminal Q at a lower potential to stop scanning. (2) The side effects on the normal scanning function caused by the leakage of the fifteenth transistor T15 are reduced. (3) The stage-by-stage transfer and accumulation of noise voltage between stages of gate drive circuit units that may be caused by leakage current is reduced.

在其它实施例中,级联的第一开关晶体管T11还可以是多个,但是输入路径上串联的晶体管数量更多。这样可能带来的弊端是输入路径上串联电阻太大,这样可能影响驱动控制端Q的充电效果,造成栅极驱动电路单元正常扫描功能的失效。此外,实际上,图3(b)的结构已经能够将自举阶段或者低电平维持阶段通过第一开关晶体管T11的泄漏电流抑制到较小的值,因此在输入路径上增加更多的晶体管反而会增加电路的复杂程度,而且影响正常扫描功能。In other embodiments, there may be multiple cascaded first switching transistors T11, but the number of transistors connected in series on the input path is larger. The possible disadvantage of this is that the series resistance on the input path is too large, which may affect the charging effect of the driving control terminal Q, resulting in failure of the normal scanning function of the gate driving circuit unit. In addition, in fact, the structure of Figure 3(b) has been able to suppress the leakage current through the first switching transistor T11 to a small value during the bootstrap phase or the low-level maintenance phase, so more transistors are added to the input path On the contrary, it will increase the complexity of the circuit and affect the normal scanning function.

因此,本实施例中,级联的第一开关晶体管T11个数为2。同样的,对于级联的第二开关晶体管T14也优选为2个。Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of cascaded first switch transistors T11 is two. Likewise, there are preferably two cascaded second switching transistors T14.

采用这种简化的电路结构是基于以下物理事实,根据栅极驱动电路逐级扫描的特点,无论是正向扫描模式还是反向扫描模式,各级栅极驱动电路单元是否工作依附于相邻级栅极驱动电路单元信号输出。决定栅极驱动电路是否开始工作的是首级栅极驱动电路单元或尾级栅极驱动电路单元。因此,对于第n级栅极驱动电路单元可以不必额外增设控制信号VCTR,第n级栅极驱动电路单元只需等待相邻级栅极驱动电路单元的激励即可启动响应的扫描模式。The use of this simplified circuit structure is based on the following physical facts. According to the characteristics of the gate drive circuit scanning step by step, whether it is in the forward scanning mode or the reverse scanning mode, whether the gate drive circuit units of each level work depends on the adjacent gates.
