栅极驱动器以及显示面板Gate driver and display panel

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及显示技术领域,具体涉及一种栅极驱动器以及应用该栅极驱动器的显示面板。The present invention relates to the field of display technology, in particular to a gate driver and a display panel using the gate driver.

背景技术Background technique

随着光学技术与半导体技术的发展,液晶显示面板(LiquidCrystalDisplay,LCD)以及有机发光二极管显示面板(OrganicLightEmittingDiode,OLED)等平板显示面板由于具有形体更轻薄、成本和能耗更低、反应速度更快、色纯度和亮度更优以及对比度更高等特点,已经被广泛应用于各类电子产品上。但是,现有技术中的显示产品仍存在有待改进之处。例如:With the development of optical technology and semiconductor technology, flat display panels such as liquid crystal display panels (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD) and organic light emitting diode display panels (Organic Light Emitting Diode, OLED) have thinner and thinner shapes, lower cost and energy consumption, and faster response speeds. , better color purity and brightness, and higher contrast, have been widely used in various electronic products. However, the display products in the prior art still have room for improvement. For example:

显示面板主要通过像素矩阵实现显示,通常而言,各行像素均耦接至对应的扫描栅线。在显示面板工作过程中,通过栅极驱动器将输入的时钟信号等信号经过移位寄存器单元转换成控制像素开启/关断的栅极扫描信号,例如,栅极开启信号和栅极关断信号;将栅极扫描信号顺次施加到显示面板的各行像素的扫描栅线,即可对各行像素进行选通。The display panel mainly implements display through a pixel matrix, and generally speaking, each row of pixels is coupled to a corresponding scanning gate line. During the working process of the display panel, the gate driver converts the input clock signal and other signals through the shift register unit into gate scanning signals that control the on/off of pixels, for example, gate turn-on signals and gate turn-off signals; Each row of pixels can be gated by sequentially applying the gate scanning signal to the scanning gate lines of each row of pixels of the display panel.

如图1中所示,为一种栅极驱动器的结构示意图。该栅极驱动器包括级联的5级移位寄存器单元SR1~SR5,移位寄存器单元SR1的第一输入端VIN1接收起始信号STV,移位寄存器单元SR2~SR5的第一输入端VIN1接收前一级移位寄存器单元的输出信号,移位寄存器单元SR1~SR4的第二输入端VIN2接收后一级移位寄存器单元的输出信号作为复位信号;此外,各移位寄存器单元还接收第一时钟信号CK1以及第二时钟信号CKB1。每一移位寄存器单元根据接收的信号在其输出端VOUT提供一输出信号,因此图1中的栅极驱动器可以提供5行栅极驱动信号。As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a schematic structural diagram of a gate driver. The gate driver includes cascaded 5-stage shift register units SR1-SR5, the first input terminal VIN1 of the shift register unit SR1 receives the start signal STV, and the first input terminal VIN1 of the shift register units SR2-SR5 receives the start signal STV The output signal of the shift register unit of the first stage, the second input terminal VIN2 of the shift register unit SR1~SR4 receives the output signal of the shift register unit of the next stage as the reset signal; in addition, each shift register unit also receives the first clock The signal CK1 and the second clock signal CKB1. Each shift register unit provides an output signal at its output terminal VOUT according to the received signal, so the gate driver in FIG. 1 can provide 5 rows of gate driving signals.

随着平板显示技术的发展,高分辨率以及窄边框产品得到了越来越多的关注,上述栅极驱动器中数量众多的移位寄存器单元会占据很大的版图面积,不利于增加有效显示面积以及窄边框设计。With the development of flat panel display technology, more and more attention has been paid to high-resolution and narrow-frame products. The large number of shift register units in the above-mentioned gate driver will occupy a large layout area, which is not conducive to increasing the effective display area. And narrow bezel design.

此外,由于栅极驱动器最末级的移位寄存器单元,即移位寄存器单元SR5的第二输入端VIN2没有作为复位信号输入信号,因此其输出端可能会输出错误的信号。参考图2中所示,为栅极驱动器最末级(例如第5级)的移位寄存器单元的输出信号的模拟波形,可以明显看出相比前一级(例如第4级)会有多次输出。In addition, because the shift register unit at the last stage of the gate driver, that is, the second input terminal VIN2 of the shift register unit SR5 does not receive a signal as a reset signal, its output terminal may output an erroneous signal. Referring to Figure 2, which is the simulated waveform of the output signal of the shift register unit at the last stage (e.g., stage 5) of the gate driver, it can be clearly seen that there will be more output.

参考图3中所示,一种解决方案是在栅极驱动器最末级的移位寄存器单元之后设置一虚拟(Dummy)移位寄存器单元DSR1,利用虚拟移位寄存器单元DSR1的输出信号DS1向最末级的移位寄存器单元SR5提供复位信号;同时,由于在反向扫描时,原本第1级的移位寄存器单元SR1将成为最末级的移位寄存器单元,因此,在栅极驱动器第1级的移位寄存器单元SR1之前同样需要设置一虚拟移位寄存器单元DSR2。这样无疑进一步增加了栅极驱动器的面积;而且虚拟移位寄存器单元的输出信号DS1以及DS2无法作为有效栅极扫描信号输入至显示区域,即为无效栅极扫描信号,因此还需要为虚拟移位寄存器单元的输出信号DS1以及DS2额外设置负载。Referring to Fig. 3, a solution is to set a dummy (Dummy) shift register unit DSR1 after the shift register unit of the last stage of the gate driver, and use the output signal DS1 of the dummy shift register unit DSR1 to the last The last-stage shift register unit SR5 provides a reset signal; at the same time, since the original first-stage shift register unit SR1 will become the last-stage shift register unit during reverse scanning, therefore, in the first stage of the gate driver A dummy shift register unit DSR2 also needs to be set before the shift register unit SR1 of the first stage. This will undoubtedly further increase the area of the gate driver; and the output signals DS1 and DS2 of the virtual shift register unit cannot be input to the display area as valid gate scanning signals, that is, invalid gate scanning signals, so it is necessary to provide a virtual shift The output signals DS1 and DS2 of the register unit additionally set the load.

需要说明的是,在上述背景技术部分发明的信息仅用于加强对本发明的背景的理解,因此可以包括不构成对本领域普通技术人员已知的现有技术的信息。It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present invention, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions of the present invention may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or that other methods, steps, structures, etc. may be employed.

本示例实施方式中首先提供了一种栅极驱动器。栅极驱动器包括至少一个移位寄存器组。参考图4,图4是本发明实施例提供的一种栅极驱动器的结构示意图,其中,栅极驱动器包括一个移位寄存器组,移位寄存器组包括级联的N级移位寄存器单元,其中,N为正整数,且N≥3;图4中以N等于5为例进行说明,即移位寄存器组包括级联的第1级移位寄存器单元SR1至第5级移位寄存器单元SR5;但本领域技术人员容易理解的是,N实际上可以为任意大于2的正整数。In this example embodiment, a gate driver is firstly provided. The gate driver includes at least one shift register bank. Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a gate driver provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the gate driver includes a shift register group, and the shift register group includes cascaded N-stage shift register units, wherein , N is a positive integer, and N≥3; Figure 4 takes N equal to 5 as an example for illustration, that is, the shift register group includes cascaded first-stage shift register unit SR1 to fifth-stage shift register unit SR5; However, those skilled in the art can easily understand that N can actually be any positive integer greater than 2.

每一上述移位寄存器单元均包括第一输入端VIN1、第二输入端VIN2、时钟信号端CK1、时钟信号端CKB1以及输出端VOUT,其中,每一移位寄存器单元的第一输入端VIN1可以接收一第一输入信号,第二输入端VIN2可以接收一第二输入信号,时钟信号端CK1以及时钟信号端CKB1可以用于接收第一时钟信号CK1以及第二时钟信号CKB1,并且,每一移位寄存器单元根据接收的第一输入信号、第二输入信号以及时钟信号在其输出端VOUT提供一输出信号。本示例实施方式中,移位寄存器单元可以由多个开关晶体管以及电容等元件构成,移位寄存器单元可以为非晶硅(AlphaSilica)半导体移位寄存器单元,即其中的开关晶体管为非晶硅型薄膜晶体管(a-SiTFT);也可以是氧化物(Oxide)半导体移位寄存器单元,即其中的开关晶体管为氧化物型薄膜晶体管(oxideTFT);或者是低温多晶硅(LTPS)半导体移位寄存器单元,即其中的开关晶体管为低温多晶硅型薄膜晶体管(LTPS-TFT)等其他类型的移位寄存器单元,本示例性实施例中对此不做特殊限定。Each of the shift register units includes a first input terminal VIN1, a second input terminal VIN2, a clock signal terminal CK1, a clock signal terminal CKB1, and an output terminal VOUT, wherein the first input terminal VIN1 of each shift register unit can be Receiving a first input signal, the second input terminal VIN2 can receive a second input signal, the clock signal terminal CK1 and the clock signal terminal CKB1 can be used to receive the first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal CKB1, and each shift The bit register unit provides an output signal at its output terminal VOUT according to the received first input signal, second input signal and clock signal. In this exemplary embodiment, the shift register unit may be composed of a plurality of switching transistors and capacitors, and the shift register unit may be an amorphous silicon (AlphaSilica) semiconductor shift register unit, that is, the switching transistors thereof are amorphous silicon type Thin-film transistor (a-SiTFT); it can also be an oxide (Oxide) semiconductor shift register unit, that is, the switch transistor is an oxide-type thin-film transistor (oxideTFT); or a low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) semiconductor shift register unit, That is, the switching transistors are other types of shift register units such as low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors (LTPS-TFT), which are not specifically limited in this exemplary embodiment.

其中,第m级移位寄存器单元的第一输入端VIN1接收的第一输入信号为第m-1级移位寄存器单元输出端的输出信号,第m级移位寄存器单元的第二输入端VIN2接收的第二输入信号为第m+1级移位寄存器单元输出端VOUT的输出信号,其中,m为正整数,且1<m<N。例如,第2级移位寄存器单元的第一输入端VIN1接收的第一输入信号为第1级移位寄存器单元输出端VOUT的输出信号,第2级移位寄存器单元的第二输入端VIN2接收的第二输入信号为第3级移位寄存器单元输出端VOUT的输出信号;第3级移位寄存器单元的第一输入端VIN1接收的第一输入信号为第2级移位寄存器单元输出端VOUT的输出信号,第3级移位寄存器单元的第二输入端VIN2接收的第二输入信号为第4级移位寄存器单元输出端VOUT的输出信号等等。Wherein, the first input signal received by the first input terminal VIN1 of the shift register unit of the mth stage is the output signal of the output terminal of the shift register unit of the m-1th stage, and the second input terminal VIN2 of the shift register unit of the mth stage receives The second input signal of is the output signal of the output terminal VOUT of the shift register unit of the m+1st stage, wherein, m is a positive integer, and 1<m<N. For example, the first input signal received by the first input terminal VIN1 of the second-stage shift register unit is the output signal of the output terminal VOUT of the first-stage shift register unit, and the second input terminal VIN2 of the second-stage shift register unit receives The second input signal of the second input signal is the output signal of the output terminal VOUT of the third-stage shift register unit; the first input signal received by the first input terminal VIN1 of the third-stage shift register unit is the output terminal VOUT of the second-stage shift register unit The output signal of the second input terminal VIN2 of the third-stage shift register unit receives the second input signal is the output signal of the output terminal VOUT of the fourth-stage shift register unit, and so on.

继续参考图4,本示例实施方式中,第1级移位寄存器单元SR1的第一输入端VIN1接收的第一输入信号为一第一起始信号STV1,第1级至第5级移位寄存器单元输出端VOUT的输出信号均用作有效栅极扫描信号,即栅极扫描信号S2~S6;本示例实施方式中,有效栅极扫描信号是指输入到显示区域,用于开启/关断与栅极驱动电路连接的像素行中的开关晶体管的扫描信号,即区别于背景技术中的无效栅极扫描信号。进一步的,本示例实施方式中还可以利用第一起始信号STV1提供一有效栅极扫描信号,因此,参考图5,图5是图2中栅极驱动器输出信号的波形示意图,从图中可知,图4中的栅极驱动器可以利用5级移位寄存器单元生成6个有效栅极扫描信号S1~S6。Continuing to refer to FIG. 4 , in this exemplary embodiment, the first input signal received by the first input terminal VIN1 of the shift register unit SR1 of the first stage is a first start signal STV1, and the shift register units of the first stage to the fifth stage The output signals of the output terminal VOUT are all used as effective gate scanning signals, that is, gate scanning signals S2 to S6; The scanning signal of the switch transistor in the pixel row connected to the electrode driving circuit is different from the invalid gate scanning signal in the background art. Further, in this exemplary embodiment, the first start signal STV1 can also be used to provide an effective gate scanning signal. Therefore, referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic waveform diagram of the output signal of the gate driver in FIG. 2. It can be seen from the figure that The gate driver in FIG. 4 can generate 6 effective gate scan signals S1-S6 by using a 5-stage shift register unit.

由上述描述可知,本示例实施方式中的栅极驱动器通过利用起始信号提供有效栅极扫描信号,可以有效减少移位寄存器单元的数量,进而可以使得栅极驱动器的版图面积减小,为实现更高分辨率和更窄边框的显示面板提供了技术支持;同时,由于节省了移位寄存器单元的数量,从而可以简化制备工艺,压缩制备成本。It can be seen from the above description that the gate driver in this exemplary embodiment can effectively reduce the number of shift register units by using the start signal to provide an effective gate scan signal, thereby reducing the layout area of the gate driver, and achieving The display panel with higher resolution and narrower frame provides technical support; at the same time, because the number of shift register units is saved, the manufacturing process can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

参考图6,图6是本发明实施例提供的又一种栅极驱动器的结构示意图,如图中所示,在反向扫描时,原本第1级的移位寄存器单元SR1将成为最末级的移位寄存器单元;此时,图示中VIN2为第一输入端,VIN1为第二输入端,并且原本最末级的移位寄存器单元SR5将成为第1级移位寄存器单元,其输入端VIN2接收第一起始信号STV1。如上所述,本示例实施方式中可以利用第一起始信号STV1提供有效栅极扫描信号。即无论在正向扫描还是反向扫描中,凡是利用起始信号提供有效栅极扫描信号均属本发明的保护范围。Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of another gate driver provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, during reverse scanning, the shift register unit SR1 of the first stage will become the last stage At this time, VIN2 in the figure is the first input terminal, VIN1 is the second input terminal, and the original last-stage shift register unit SR5 will become the first-stage shift register unit, and its input terminal VIN2 receives the first start signal STV1. As described above, the effective gate scan signal may be provided using the first start signal STV1 in this example embodiment. That is, no matter in forward scanning or reverse scanning, any use of the start signal to provide an effective gate scanning signal falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

本发明的其他示例实施方式中,还可以在正向扫描结束时利用一第二起始信号STV2输入至最末级,即第N级移位寄存器单元的第二输入端VIN2。例如,参考图7,图7是本发明实施例提供的又一种栅极驱动器的结构示意图,其中,第5级移位寄存器单元接收的第二输入信号为一第二起始信号STV2。通过利用第二起始信号STV2作为最末级移位寄存器单元的第二输入信号,则可以无需在第N级移位寄存器单元之后设置虚拟移位寄存器单元提供第二输入信号,进而可以使得栅极驱动器的版图面积进一步的减小。In other exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a second start signal STV2 may also be used to input to the last stage, ie, the second input terminal VIN2 of the shift register unit of the Nth stage, at the end of the forward scan. For example, refer to FIG. 7 , which is a schematic structural diagram of another gate driver provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the second input signal received by the fifth-stage shift register unit is a second start signal STV2 . By using the second start signal STV2 as the second input signal of the last-stage shift register unit, it is not necessary to set a dummy shift register unit after the N-stage shift register unit to provide the second input signal, thereby making the gate The layout area of the pole driver is further reduced.

本示例实施方式中,第二起始信号STV2与第一起始信号STV1间隔一帧(Frame),例如,第一起始信号STV1为第X帧的起始信号,第二起始信号STV2为第X+1帧的起始信号。本示例实施方式中,一帧是指栅极驱动器从第1级到第N级移位寄存器单元全部正向扫描一次或者全部反向扫描一次。在画面显示上,可以是图像刷新一次。In this exemplary embodiment, the second start signal STV2 is separated from the first start signal STV1 by one frame (Frame). For example, the first start signal STV1 is the start signal of the Xth frame, and the second start signal STV2 is the Xth frame. +1 start signal for frame. In this example embodiment, one frame means that the gate driver scans all the shift register units from the first stage to the Nth stage once in the forward direction or scans all the shift register units in the reverse direction once. On the screen display, the image may be refreshed once.

进一步的,本示例实施方式中还可以利用第二起始信号提供一有效栅极扫描信号,即除了所有移位寄存器本身输出的有效栅极扫描信号,本示例实施方式中还可以利用第一起始信号以及第二起始信号额外提供两个有效栅极扫描信号。例如,图7中的栅极驱动器可以利用5级移位寄存器单元生成7个有效栅极扫描信号。相比现有技术,可以在避免设置虚拟(Dummy)移位寄存单元的同时,进一步有效减少移位寄存器单元的数量,可以使得栅极驱动器的版图面积进一步的减小。Further, in this example embodiment, the second start signal can also be used to provide an effective gate scan signal, that is, in addition to the effective gate scan signal output by all shift registers themselves, the first start signal can also be used in this example embodiment signal and the second start signal additionally provide two valid gate scan signals.
