Description

栅线驱动方法、 移位寄存器、 栅线驱动装置及显示设备 技术领域
本发明涉及液晶显示技术领域, 尤其涉及一种栅线驱动方法、 移位寄存 器、 栅线驱动装置及显示设备。 背景技术
液晶显示的像素阵列包括交错的多行栅线和多列数据线。 其中, 对栅线 的驱动可以通过贴附的集成驱动电路实现。 然而近几年随着非晶硅薄膜工艺 的不断提高, 也可以将栅线驱动电路集成在薄膜晶体管阵列基板上构成移位 寄存器来对栅线进行驱动。
由多个移位寄存器构成的栅线驱动装置为像素阵列的多行栅线提供开关 信号, 从而控制多行栅线依序打开, 并由数据线向像素阵列中对应行的像素 电极充电, 以形成显示图像的各灰阶所需要的灰度电压, 进而显示每一帧图 像。
在每个移位寄存器中, 需要薄膜晶体管的开启和关断来实现对应行的栅 线的打开或关闭。 但在实际工作过程中, 使用一段时间后薄膜晶体管会因为 发生阔值电压偏移(这里指正向偏移, 即阔值电压的增加)而无法正常开启。
开启薄膜晶体管的阔值电压的增加与其源极和栅极上加载的电压有关, 源极和栅极上加载的电压越大、 时间越长, 开启薄膜晶体管的阔值电压的增 加就越大。 因此如果一直为一个薄膜晶体管加压, 则该薄膜晶体管的阔值电 压偏移也会一直增大, 使得该薄膜晶体管无法正常打开, 最终导致移位寄存 器电路无法正常工作。 发明内容

本发明实施例提供了一种栅线驱动方法、 移位寄存器、 栅线驱动装置和 显示设备, 如果长时间为一个薄膜晶体管的栅极加压, 则容易在该薄膜晶体 管的栅绝缘层中形成并积累电子, 从而导致该薄膜晶体管的阔值电压偏移。 通过在薄膜晶体管的源极加载高电平、 栅极加载低电平, 根据隧道效应和量 子力学的原理, 能够使栅绝缘层中形成并积累的电子穿过势垒而到达薄膜晶 体管的源极, 从而降低与每行栅线对应的移位寄存器内薄膜晶体管的阔值电 压偏移, 最终能够使移位寄存器电路正常工作, 提高了移位寄存器工作的稳 定性, 延长了移位寄存器的工作寿命。 附图说明

下面结合附图对本发明实施例栅线驱动方法、 移位寄存器、 栅线驱动装 置和显示设备进行详纟田; ^述。
应当明确, 所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明的一部分实施例, 而不是全部 的实施例。 基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性 劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。
需要说明的是: 本发明实施例中定义的源极、 漏极其实名称是可以互换 的, 而且图中的箭头方向仅表示 TFT导通, 并不表示导通方向。
如图 1所示, 为本发明栅线驱动方法的示意图。所述栅线驱动方法包括: 步骤 11 , 降低与一行栅线对应的移位寄存器内薄膜晶体管的阔值电压偏 移;
步骤 12, 为所述移位寄存器内的薄膜晶体管的栅极加载电压以开启薄膜 晶体管, 从而为与该行栅线提供行扫描信号以驱动该行栅线打开。
本发明实施例提供的栅线驱动方法, 由于如果一直为一个薄膜晶体管加 压, 则容易在该薄膜晶体管的栅绝缘层中形成并积累电子, 从而导致该薄膜 晶体管的阔值电压偏移。 通过降低与每行栅线对应的移位寄存器内薄膜晶体 管的阔值电压偏移, 能够使移位寄存器电路正常工作, 提高了移位寄存器工 作的稳定性, 延长了移位寄存器的工作寿命。
由上面所述可知, 薄膜晶体管上阔值电压的偏移一般是由于在该薄膜晶 体管的栅绝缘层上形成和积累的电子造成的, 因此上述步骤 11 , 降低与一行 栅线对应的移位寄存器内薄膜晶体管的阔值电压偏移可以包括:
步骤 111 , 使在该薄膜晶体管的栅绝缘层上积累的电子到达该薄膜晶体 管的源极, 以降低该薄膜晶体管的阔值电压偏移。
需要说明的是, 除了在薄膜晶体管的栅绝缘层上形成并积累电子能够造 成薄膜晶体管的阔值电压偏移之外, 其它原因也能造成阔值电压偏移, 如钝 化层上的电子积累等。 为此, 本实施例中降低与每行栅线对应的移位寄存器 内薄膜晶体管的阔值电压偏移不仅可以包括如上步骤 111 ,还可以包括其它的 步骤, 如使钝化层上积累的电子达到薄膜晶体管的源极等。
上述步骤 111 , 使在薄膜晶体管的栅绝缘层上积累的电子到达薄膜晶体 管的源极包括: 为薄膜晶体管的源极加载高电平、 栅极加载低电平, 以使在 薄膜晶体管的栅绝缘层上积累的电子到达薄膜晶体管的源极。
为薄膜晶体管的源极加载高电平、 栅极加载低电平后, 根据隧道效应和 量子力学原理, 能够使在薄膜晶体管的栅绝缘层中形成并积累的电子穿过势 垒而到达薄膜晶体管的源极, 从而减小由于薄膜晶体管的栅绝缘层中电子的 积累而造成的薄膜晶体管阔值电压偏移。
下面, 利用所述的栅线驱动方法, 设计制作了一种移位寄存器, 该移位 寄存器具有较高的工作稳定性。 举例而言, 如图 2所示, 本实施例中的移位 寄存器包括三个薄膜晶体管、 一个存储电容、 一个复位模块、 一个反馈接收 模块和相应的输入输出端。 具体包括:
第一薄膜晶体管 Ml , 其栅极和源极连接在一起并与上级触发信号端 Input ( n )连接、 漏极与作为上拉节点的第一节点 PU连接, 其作用是当接收 到由上级触发信号端 Input ( n )发送的高电平信号时控制移位寄存器开始工 作, 其中上级触发信号端 Input ( n )在上级移位寄存器(即第 n-1级移位寄存 器) 的本级输出端 Output ( n-1 )为高电平输出时接收到高电平信号;
第二薄膜晶体管 M2, 其栅极与第一节点 PU连接、 源极与时钟信号端连 接、 漏极与本级输出端 Output ( n )连接, 其作用是为本级输出端 Output ( n ) 提供高电平输出, 以驱动与本级移位寄存器(即第 n级移位寄存器)对应的 一行栅线打开;
第三薄膜晶体管 M3 , 其栅极与第一节点 PU连接、 源极与时钟信号端连 接、 漏极与下级触发信号端 Input ( n+1 )连接, 其作用是为下级移位寄存器 (即第 n+1级移位寄存器 )提供触发信号, 以控制下级移位寄存器开始工作; 电容 C1 , 连接在第一节点 PU与本级输出端 Output ( n )之间; 复位模块 1 , 连接在作为下拉节点的第二节点 PL、 时钟信号端和低电平 信号端 Vss之间, 用于在本级输出完成后为第二薄膜晶体管 M2的漏极和栅 极力。载低电平;
反馈接收模块 2, 连接在第一节点 PU、 低电平信号端 Vss和本级输出端
Output ( n )之间, 并与下级反馈信号端 Reset ( n+1 )连接, 用于接收下级反 馈信号以将第一节点 PU和本级输出端 Output (n)的电平拉低, 其中下级反 馈信号端 Reset (n+1 )在下级移位寄存器 (即第 n+1级移位寄存器) 的本级 输出端 Output (n+1 )为高电平输出时接收到高电平信号。 所述下级反馈信号 端 Reset (n+1 )可以与下级移位寄存器 (即第 n+1级移位寄存器) 的本级输 出端 Output (n+1 )连接, 或者可以与下级移位寄存器(即第 n+1级移位寄存 器 ) 的下级触发信号端 Input ( n+2 )连接。
应注意, 尽管在图 2中移位寄存器包括三个薄膜晶体管, 然而本发明实 施例并不限于此。 例如, 在根据本发明实施例的移位寄存器中可以不包括第 三薄膜晶体管 M3,而直接将与第二薄膜晶体管 M2的漏极连接的本级输出端 Output (n) 同时用作下级触发信号端 Input ( n+1 )。
因此, 根据本发明另一实施例的移位寄存器包括两个薄膜晶体管、 一个 存储电容、 一个复位模块、 一个反馈接收模块和相应的输入输出端。 具体包 括:
第一薄膜晶体管 Ml, 其栅极和源极连接在一起并与上级触发信号端 Input (n)连接、 漏极与作为上拉节点的第一节点 PU连接, 其作用是当接收 到由上级触发信号端 Input (n)发送的高电平信号时控制移位寄存器开始工 作, 其中上级触发信号端 Input (n)在上级移位寄存器(即第 n-1级移位寄存 器) 的本级输出端 Output (n-1 )为高电平输出时接收到高电平信号;
第二薄膜晶体管 M2, 其栅极与第一节点 PU连接、 源极与时钟信号端连 接、 漏极与本级输出端 Output ( n )连接并且与下级触发信号端 Input ( n+1 ) 连接, 其作用是为本级输出端 Output (n)提供高电平输出, 以驱动与本级移 位寄存器 (即第 n级移位寄存器)对应的一行栅线打开, 并且为下级移位寄 存器 (即第 n+1级移位寄存器)提供触发信号, 以控制下级移位寄存器开始 工作;
电容 C1, 连接在第一节点 PU与本级输出端 Output (n)之间; 复位模块 1, 连接在作为下拉节点的第二节点 PL、 时钟信号端和低电平 信号端 Vss之间, 用于在本级输出完成后为第二薄膜晶体管 M2的漏极和栅 极力。载低电平;
反馈接收模块 2, 连接在第一节点 PU、 低电平信号端 Vss和本级输出端 Output ( n )之间, 并与下级反馈信号端 Reset ( n+1 )连接, 用于接收下级反 馈信号以将第一节点 PU和本级输出端 Output (n)的电平拉低, 其中下级反 馈信号端 Reset ( n+1 )在下级移位寄存器(即第 n+1级移位寄存器) 的本级 输出端 Output ( n+1 )为高电平输出时接收到高电平信号。 所述下级反馈信号 端 Reset ( n+1 )可以与下级移位寄存器 (即第 n+1级移位寄存器) 的本级输 出端 Output( n+l )连接,或者可以通过在根据本实施例的下级移位寄存器(即 第 n+1级移位寄存器)中添加其它薄膜晶体管 (例如图 2中的 M3 )来提供所 述下级反馈信号端 Reset ( n+1 )。
本发明实施例提供的移位寄存器,由于如果一直为一个薄膜晶体管加压, 则容易在薄膜晶体管的栅绝缘层中形成并积累电子, 从而导致该薄膜晶体管 的阔值电压偏移。 通过在薄膜晶体管的源极加载高电平、 栅极加载低电平, 根据隧道效应和量子力学的原理, 能够使在薄膜晶体管的栅绝缘层中形成并 积累的电子穿过势垒而到达薄膜晶体管的源极, 从而降低与每行栅线对应的 移位寄存器内薄膜晶体管的阔值电压偏移, 最终能够使移位寄存器电路正常 工作, 提高了移位寄存器工作的稳定性, 延长了移位寄存器的工作寿命。 这 里需要说明的是, 由于移位寄存器中各薄膜晶体管的栅绝缘层上电子的形成 和积累, 使得相应薄膜晶体管的阔值电压均产生了偏移, 因此可以为移位寄 存器中的各薄膜晶体管设置复位模块 1 , 以在移位寄存器的本级输出完成后 在薄膜晶体管的源极加载高电平、 栅极加载低电平, 从而使薄膜晶体管的栅 绝缘层中的电子到达薄膜晶体管的源极,以降低薄膜晶体管的阔值电压偏移。 其中由于在移位寄存器中, 第二薄膜晶体管 M2能够导通时钟信号端和本级 输出端, 从而使与该移位寄存器对应的一行栅线打开, 因此该第二薄膜晶体 管 M2在移位寄存器中具有非常重要的作用, 一旦该第二薄膜晶体管 M2由 于阔值电压偏移而无法正常开启, 则将影响显示效果。 此外, 该第二薄膜晶 体管 M2上的工作电流一般较大, 容易引起阔值电压偏移。 因此本实施例中 以第二薄膜晶体管 M2为例说明如何通过复位模块 1来降低其阔值电压偏移。 应当理解, 本说明是示例性的, 而不是限制性的。

第四薄膜晶体管 Μ4和第五薄膜晶体管 Μ5组成了反馈接收模块 2。该反 馈接收模块 2用于在本级移位寄存器不工作且下级移位寄存器工作时, 保持 本级输出端 Output ( n )和作为上拉节点的第一节点 PU为低电平, 从而避免 以下情况: 本级输出端 Output ( n )在其他干扰信号的作用下变为高电平, 并 使其所控制的一行栅线在高电平作用下打开, 最终造成栅线打开错误。 其中, 第四薄膜晶体管 M4用于在下级反馈信号端 Reset ( n+1 ) 的作用下保持本级 输出端 Output ( n )为低电平, 而第五薄膜晶体管 M5用于在下级反馈信号端 Reset ( n+1 ) 的作用下保持第一节点 PU为低电平, 以防止第二薄膜晶体管 M2被误打开。
由图 3可知, 所述移位寄存器还包括第六薄膜晶体管 M6。 第六薄膜晶 体管 M6用于在本级移位寄存器不工作时, 通过接收第二时钟信号端 CLKB 的高电平信号而将作为下拉节点的第二节点 PL拉低,从而避免以下情况: 本 级输出端 Output ( n )在其他干扰信号的作用下变为高电平, 并使其所控制的 一行栅线在高电平作用下打开, 最终造成栅线打开错误。 所述移位寄存器还包括第七薄膜晶体管 M7。第七薄膜晶体管 M7用于在 上级触发信号端 Input ( n ) 为高电平, 且第二时钟信号端 CLKB变为高电平 时, 加速为存储电容 C1充电。
所述移位寄存器还包括第八薄膜晶体管 M8。第八薄膜晶体管 M8用于本 级输出端 Output( n )为高电平的时间内(即在本级移位寄存器的工作时间内 ), 保证第一节点 PU持续为高电平状态, 继续为电容 C1充电, 进一步提高第二 薄膜晶体管 M2的开启能力。
此外, 所述移位寄存器还包括第九薄膜晶体管 M9 和第十薄膜晶体管 M10, 二者与复位模块 1相结合, 以使得在对第二薄膜晶体管 M2复位时使 第二薄膜晶体管 M2的栅极和漏极均为低电平, 其中第九薄膜晶体管 M9用 于将第一节点 PU拉低到低电平, 以避免第二薄膜晶体管 M2误打开,第十薄 膜晶体管 M10用于将本级输出端 Output ( n )拉低到低电平, 以避免本级输 出端 Output ( n ) 变为高电平。
应注意, 尽管在图 3中移位寄存器包括十四个薄膜晶体管, 然而本发明 实施例并不限于此。 例如, 在根据本发明实施例的移位寄存器中可以不包括 第三薄膜晶体管 M3 ,而直接将与第二薄膜晶体管 M2的漏极连接的本级输出 端 Output ( n ) 同时用作下级触发信号端 Input ( n+1 )。
因此, 根据本发明另一实施例的移位寄存器包括十三个薄膜晶体管、 一 个存储电容和相应的输入输出端。 其中该十三个薄膜晶体管分别为: 第一薄 膜晶体管 Ml、 第二薄膜晶体管 M2、 第四薄膜晶体管 M4、 第五薄膜晶体管 M5、 第六薄膜晶体管 M6、 第七薄膜晶体管 M7、 第八薄膜晶体管 M8、 第九 薄膜晶体管 M9、 第十薄膜晶体管 M10和第一复位薄膜晶体管 Tl、 第二复位 薄膜晶体管 Τ2、 第三复位薄膜晶体管 Τ3和第四复位薄膜晶体管 Τ4。 存储电 容为电容 Cl。 输入输出端包括: 接收上级移位寄存器触发信号的上级触发信 号端 Input ( n )、 为本级移位寄存器输出电平信号并为下级移位寄存器发送触 发信号的本级输出端 Output ( n )、 接收下级移位寄存器反馈信号的下级反馈 信号端 Reset ( n+1 )、 低电平信号端 Vss、 以及时钟信号端, 该时钟信号端包 括第一时钟信号端 CLK和第二时钟信号端 CLKB, 第一时钟信号端 CLK的 时钟信号与第二时钟信号端 CLKB的时钟信号的频率和占空比完全相同, 而 仅仅相位相差 180°。 所述十三个薄膜晶体管的操作与上面结合图 3所述的实 施例中相应薄膜晶体管的操作相同, 在此不再进行赞述。 在实际使用中, 本实施例上述技术方案中的各薄膜晶体管可以为氢化非 晶薄膜晶体管, 但也可以为其他类型的薄膜晶体管。
下面结合图 3所示的移位寄存器以及图 4所示的控制时序对本实施例移 位寄存器的工作过程作以描述。
如图 4所示, 为本实施例中移位寄存器的控制时序图, 可以分为 tl、 t2、 t3和 t4四个阶段。 其中第一时钟信号端 CLK和第二时钟信号端 CLKB周期 性交替使用。 STV为开关信号, 即上级触发信号端 Input ( n ), 用于接收来自 上级移位寄存器的高电平信号。 其中以 1表示高电平信号, 0表示低电平信 号。 并且在以下图 5至图 8中, 以箭头表示薄膜晶体管的导通, 以叉号表示 薄膜晶体管的关闭。
在 tl阶段, Input ( n ) =1 , CLK=0, CLKB=1 , Reset ( n+1 ) =0。
本级移位寄存器的 STV 信号由上级移位寄存器通过上级触发信号端 Input ( n )提供。 如图 5所示, 由于 Input ( n ) =1 , 因此第一薄膜晶体管 Ml 导通并控制本级移位寄存器开始工作, 上级触发信号端 Input ( n )通过第一 薄膜晶体管 Ml为存储电容 C1充电。 由于 CLKB=1 , 因此第七薄膜晶体管 M7导通, 第二时钟信号端 CLKB通过第七薄膜晶体管 M7加速为存储电容 C1充电。 此时, 第一节点 PU被拉高而具有高电平, 第二薄膜晶体管 M2导 通, 由于 CLK=0, 因此第一时钟信号端 CLK的低电平通过第二薄膜晶体管 M2而输出到本级输出端 Output ( n ),该输出的低电平使与本级移位寄存器对 应的一行栅线处于低电平状态。 进一步地, 由于 CLKB=1 , 第六薄膜晶体管 M6导通。 第六薄膜晶体管 M6在本级移位寄存器不工作时将第二节点 PL拉 低至 Vss,避免本级输出端 Output ( n )在其他干扰信号的作用下变为高电平。 此外, 由于第一节点 PU被拉高至高电平, 因此第三薄膜晶体管 M3导通, 又 由于第一时钟信号端 CLK=0, 因此下级触发信号端 Input ( n+1 )被拉低至低 电平, 即本级移位寄存器在 tl阶段内未向下级移位寄存器发送触发信号。 综 上所述可知, tl阶段为存储电容 C1的充电阶段。
在 t2阶段, Input ( n ) =0, CLK=1 , CLKB=0, Reset ( n+1 ) =0。
如图 6所示, 由于在 Input ( n ) =0、 CLKB=0, 因此第一薄膜晶体管 Ml 和第七薄膜晶体管 M7关闭, t2阶段内不再通过上级触发信号端 Input ( n ) 和第二时钟信号端 CLKB为存储电容 C1充电。 由于 CLKB=0, 第六薄膜晶 体管 M6 关闭, 从而第六薄膜晶体管 M6 不会将第二节点 PL拉低。 由于 CLK=1,第二薄膜晶体管 M2在存储电容 CI的作用下导通后将第一时钟信号 端 CLK上的高电平输出到本级输出端 Output (n), 进而由本级输出端 Output (n)将该高电平输出到与本级移位寄存器对应的一行栅线上, 使液晶面板的 显示区域内位于该行栅线上的所有薄膜晶体管开启, 数据线开始写入信号。 由于 CLK=1, 第八薄膜晶体管 M8导通并将本级输出端 Output (n)上的高 电平反馈到第一节点 PU, 保证第一节点 PU持续为高电平状态, 继续为电容 C1充电, 进一步提高第二薄膜晶体管 M2的开启能力。 在 Output(n)=l后, 第二节点 PL被拉高, 从而使第一复位薄膜晶体管 T1和第二复位薄膜晶体管 T2导通。 此外, 由于 CLK=1, 第三复位薄膜晶体管 T3导通, 通过合理设 置第一复位薄膜晶体管 T1的沟道宽长比和第三复位薄膜晶体管 T3的沟道宽 长比, 使得第一复位薄膜晶体管 T1保持第四复位薄膜晶体管 T4的栅极为低 电平。 此外, 第二复位薄膜晶体管 T2保持第四复位薄膜晶体管 T4的漏极为 低电平。 由于第四复位薄膜晶体管 T4关闭, 因此第九薄膜晶体管 M9和第十 薄膜晶体管 M10关闭, 以保证第一节点 PU和本级输出端 Output ( n )持续处 于高电平状态, 不会被拉低。 而且此时第三薄膜晶体管 M3也在存储电容 C1 的作用下导通, 使下级触发信号端 Input (n+1) 变为高电平, 以向下级移位 寄存器发送触发信号。 综上所述, t2 阶段为本级移位寄存器的本级输出端 Output ( n )输出高电平的阶段。
在 t3阶段, Input (n) =0, CLK=0, CLKB=1, Reset (n+1) =1。
本级移位寄存器的 Reset信号由下级移位寄存器通过下级反馈信号端
Reset (n+1 )提供。 如图 7所示, 由于 Reset (n+1 ) =1, 第四薄膜晶体管 M4 和第五薄膜晶体管 M5导通,第四薄膜晶体管 M4导通后将本级输出端 Output (n)拉低到 Vss, 第五薄膜晶体管 M5导通后将第一节点 PU拉低到 Vss, 从 而避免以下情况: 本级输出端 Output (n)在其他干扰信号的作用下变为高电 平, 并使其所控制的一行栅线在高电平作用下打开, 最终造成栅线打开错误。 进一步地, 由于 CLKB=1, 第六薄膜晶体管 M6导通, 第六薄膜晶体管 M6 在本级移位寄存器不工作时将第二节点 PL 拉低至 Vss, 避免本级输出端 Output (n)在其他干 4尤信号的作用下变为高电平。 综上所述, t3阶段为下级 移位寄存器的本级输出端 Output (n+1 )输出高电平的阶段。
在 t4阶段, Input (n) =0, CLK=1 , CLKB=0, Reset ( n+1 ) =0。
如图 8所示, 由于 CLK=1, 第三复位薄膜晶体管 T3导通, 从而使第四 复位薄膜晶体管 T4的栅极变为高电平,由此使第四复位薄膜晶体管 T4导通。 此外,第四复位薄膜晶体管 T4的导通又使第九薄膜晶体管 M9和第十薄膜晶 体管 M10的栅极变为高电平, 从而使第九薄膜晶体管 M9和第十薄膜晶体管 M10导通。 第九薄膜晶体管 M9将第一节点 PU拉低至 Vss, 第十薄膜晶体管 M10将本级输出端 Output ( n )拉低至 Vss, 以使得在对第二薄膜晶体管 M2 复位时使第二薄膜晶体管 M2的栅极和漏极均为低电平。 此时, 对于第二薄 膜晶体管 M2 而言, 其源极上加载高电平、 栅极加载低电平, 因此在栅绝缘 层上积累的电子能够穿越势垒而到达第二薄膜晶体管 M2的源极, 从而降低 第二薄膜晶体管 M2的阔值电压偏移。 综上所述, t4阶段为复位模块 1工作 以使第二薄膜晶体管 M2的阶段, 即本级移位寄存器的复位阶段。
由上面的描述可知, 本实施例中的移位寄存器能够降低与每行栅线对应 的移位寄存器内薄膜晶体管的阔值电压偏移, 最终能够使移位寄存器电路正 常工作, 提高了移位寄存器工作的稳定性, 延长了移位寄存器的工作寿命。
同理, 对于不包括第三薄膜晶体管 M3的实施例, 上述的操作过程同样 适用, 在此不再赘述。
除此之外, 本发明实施例还提供了一种栅线驱动装置。 如图 9所示, 所 述栅线驱动装置包括串联的多个移位寄存器, 为方便说明图 9中仅显示了五 个移位寄存器, 分别为第 N-2级移位寄存器、 第 N-1级移位寄存器、 第 N级 移位寄存器、 第 N+1级移位寄存器和第 N+2级移位寄存器。 其中, 第 N级 移位寄存器的输出 Output( n ),不仅向第 N-1级移位寄存器反馈以关断第 N-1 级移位寄存器,同时还向第 N+1级移位寄存器输出以作为该第 N+1级移位寄 存器的触发信号。
此外, 如图 9所示, 对于各级移位寄存器而言, 时钟信号 CLK和时钟信 号 CLKB是周期性交替使用的。 具体地, 第 N级移位寄存器的时钟信号端被 示出为接收时钟信号 CLK, 而第 N - 1级和第 N+1级移位寄存器的时钟信号 端被示出为接收时钟信号 CLKB, 因此, 用于第 N级移位寄存器的时钟信号 与用于第 N _ 1级和第 N+1级移位寄存器的时钟信号的相位完全相反, 即相 位相差 180°。
在另一情况下, 即在时钟信号端包括第一时钟信号端和第二时钟信号端 的情况下,对于各级移位寄存器而言, 时钟信号 CLK和时钟信号 CLKB也是 周期性交替使用的。 对于第 N级移位寄存器, 第一时钟信号端接收时钟信号 CLK, 第二时钟信号端接收时钟信号 CLKB, 然而对于第 N- 1级和第 N+1 级移位寄存器, 第一时钟信号端接收时钟信号 CLKB, 第二时钟信号端接收 时钟信号 CLK。
结合图 2所示,每级移位寄存器均包括三个薄膜晶体管,一个存储电容, 一个复位模块、 一个反馈接收模块和相应的输入输出端。 具体包括:
第一薄膜晶体管 Ml, 其栅极和源极连接在一起并与上级触发信号端 Input (n)连接、 漏极与作为上拉节点的第一节点 PU连接。 其作用是当接收 到由上级触发信号端 Input (n)发送的高电平信号时控制移位寄存器开始工 作。 其中上级触发信号端 Input (n)在上级移位寄存器(即第 n-1级移位寄存 器)的本级输出端 Output (n-1)为高电平输出时接收到高电平信号。 第二薄 膜晶体管 M2, 其栅极与第一节点 PU连接、 源极与时钟信号端连接、 漏极与 本级输出端 Output (n)连接。 其作用是为本级输出端 Output (n)提供高电 平输出, 以驱动与本级移位寄存器(即第 n级移位寄存器)对应的一行栅线 打开。 第三薄膜晶体管 M3, 其栅极与第一节点 PU连接、 源极与时钟信号端 连接、 漏极与下级触发信号端 Input (n+1 )连接。 其作用是为下级移位寄存 器(即第 n+1级移位寄存器)提供触发信号, 以控制下级移位寄存器开始工 作。 电容 C1, 连接在第一节点 PU与本级输出端 Output (n)之间。 复位模 块 1, 连接在作为下拉节点的第二节点 PL、 时钟信号端和低电平信号端 Vss 之间, 用于在本级输出完成后为第二薄膜晶体管 M2 的源极加载高电平、 栅 极加载低电平; 反馈接收模块 2, 连接在第一节点 PU、 低电平信号端 Vss和 本级输出端 Output (n)之间, 并与下级反馈信号端 Reset (n+1 )连接, 用于 接收下级反馈信号以将第一节点 PU和本级输出端 Output (n) 的电平拉低。
此外, 根据本发明另一实施例的栅线驱动装置, 结合图 2和 3的说明可 知, 第 N级移位寄存器的输出 Output (n) 向第 N-1级移位寄存器反馈 (即 作为下级反馈信号端 Reset (n-1 ))以关断第 N-1级移位寄存器, 同时第 N级 移位寄存器的下级触发信号端 Input (n+1 ) 向第 N+1级移位寄存器输出以作 为该第 N+1级移位寄存器的触发信号。
如前所述, 在根据本发明该另一实施例的栅线驱动装置中的每级移位寄 存器中不包括第三薄膜晶体管 M3,而直接将与第二薄膜晶体管 M2的漏极连 接的本级输出端 Output (n) 同时用作下级触发信号端 Input (n+l)。 除了不 包括第三薄膜晶体管 M3之外, 该移位寄存器的操作与根据本发明实施例的 栅线驱动装置中的移位寄存器的操作相同, 在此不再进行赞述。
本发明实施例提供的栅线驱动装置中, 由于如果一直为一个薄膜晶体管 加压, 则容易在该薄膜晶体管的栅绝缘层中形成并积累电子, 从而导致该薄 膜晶体管的阔值电压偏移。 通过在薄膜晶体管的源极加载高电平、 栅极加载 低电平, 根据隧道效应和量子力学的原理, 能够使该薄膜晶体管的栅绝缘层 中形成并积累的电子穿过势垒而到达薄膜晶体管的源极, 从而降低与每行栅 线对应的移位寄存器内薄膜晶体管的阔值电压偏移, 最终能够使移位寄存器 电路正常工作, 提高了移位寄存器工作的稳定性, 延长了移位寄存器的工作 寿命。
需要说明的是, 本实施例栅线驱动装置中所使用的移位寄存器与上述移 位寄存器实施例中所使用的移位寄存器在功能和结构上均相同, 因此能够解 决同样的技术问题, 达到相同的预期效果。
本发明还提供了一种显示设备, 其包括像素阵列以及如上所述的栅线驱 动装置。
尽管上面在液晶显示技术领域描述了本发明实施例, 然而本发明实施例 不限于此, 而且还可以应用于其它的基于像素阵列的显示技术领域, 诸如
AMOLED (有源矩阵有机发光二极体面板)等。
以上所述, 仅为本发明的具体实施方式, 但本发明的保护范围并不局限 于此, 任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本发明揭露的技术范围内, 可轻易 想到变化或替换, 都应涵盖在本发明的保护范围之内。 因此, 本发明的保护 范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
