下面将结合附图,对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
相关技术中的栅极驱动电路,本级移位寄存器的复位信号端与下一级移位寄存器的信号输出端相连接,这使得本级移位寄存器在下拉阶段依靠下一级移位寄存器提供的信号才能完成,而当下一级移位寄存器输出异常时,会导致本级移位寄存器无法完成下拉阶段的工作,进而导致栅极驱动 电路输出异常。
本公开的一些实施例提供一种移位寄存器,如图1所示,包括:第一输入子电路10、上拉控制子电路20和下拉控制子电路30。
第一输入子电路10,连接到第一信号端S1、第一电压端V1和第一节点A。第一输入子电路10配置为在来自第一电压端V1的电压的控制下,将第一信号端S1的电压输出至第一节点A。
上拉控制子电路20,连接到第一节点A、第二电压端V2和第二节点B。上拉控制子电路20配置为在来自第一节点A的电压的控制下,处于开启或者关闭状态,且在上拉控制子电路20处于开启状态时,将第二电压端V2的电压输出至第二节点B。
下拉控制子电路30,连接到第一节点A、第三电压端V3、第一时钟信号端CKB、信号输出端OUTPUT(下文以及附图均以Oput表示)和下拉节点PD。下拉控制子电路30配置为在来自第一节点A的电压的控制下,将第三电压端V3的电压输出至下拉节点PD。下拉控制子电路30还配置为在来自信号输出端Oput的电压的控制下,将第三电压端V3的电压输出至下拉节点PD。下拉控制子电路30还配置为在来自第一时钟信号端CKB的电压的控制下,将第一时钟信号端CKB的电压输出至下拉节点PD。
第二节点B与上拉节点PU连接。
上拉节点PU配置为控制移位寄存器的信号输出端Oput输出栅极扫描信号,下拉节点PD配置为停止信号输出端Oput输出栅极扫描信号。
在一些实施例中,上拉节点PU配置为控制信号输出端Oput输出栅极扫描信号,即,上拉节点PU配置为控制信号输出端Oput输出高电平信号。下拉节点PD配置为停止信号输出端Oput输出栅极扫描信号,即,下拉节点PD配置为控制信号输出端Oput输出低电平信号。在另一些实施例中,上拉节点PU配置为控制信号输出端Oput输出栅极扫描信号,即,上拉节点PU配置为控制信号输出端Oput输出低电平信号。下拉节点PD配置为停止信号输出端Oput输出栅极扫描信号,即,下拉节点PD配置为控制信号输出端Oput输出高电平信号。
以下实施例均是以,上拉节点PU配置为控制信号输出端Oput输出高电平信号,下拉节点PD配置为控制信号输出端Oput输出低电平信号为例对本公开做进一步的说明。
本领域的技术人员应当理解到,对于移位寄存器中的上拉节点PU和 下拉节点PD而言,两者一般处于相反的状态。例如,当上拉节点PU处于工作状态(例如,上拉节点PU输出高电平信号)时,下拉节点PD处于非工作状态(例如,下拉节点PD输出低电平信号)。当上拉节点PU处于非工作状态(例如,上拉节点PU输出低电平信号)时,下拉节点PD处于工作状态(例如,下拉节点PD输出高电平信号)。
在一些实施例中,如图1所示,在移位寄存器中,上拉节点PU与输出子电路70相连接,通过上拉节点PU上的电压开启输出子电路70,以通过信号输出端Oput输出栅极扫描信号。下拉节点PD与下拉子电路60相连接,通过下拉节点PD上的电压开启下拉子电路60,以停止信号输出端Oput输出栅极扫描信号。
在一些实施例中,第二节点B与上拉节点PU相连接,即,如图1所示,第二节点B与上拉节点PU直接连接(两个节点重合为一个节点)。在另一些实施例中,第二节点B与上拉节点PU相连接,即,第二节点B与上拉节点PU通过其他子电路连接,从而当该子电路导通时,使第二节点B与上拉节点PU连接。
对于本公开的实施例提供的移位寄存器,在该移位寄存器应用于栅极驱动电路的情况下,在下拉阶段,通过使上拉控制子电路20处于关闭状态而使第一节点A和第二节点B断开,可通过依靠本级移位寄存器的下拉控制子电路30将第一时钟信号端CKB的电压输出至下拉节点PD,从而拉低上拉节点PU的电位,并将低电平电压输出至信号输出端Oput,来完成移位寄存器的下拉阶段。因此,本公开中的移位寄存器的下拉阶段与其他级移位寄存器输出的信号无关,从而可一定程度的提高栅极驱动电路的稳定性。
在此基础上,为了提高输入至上拉节点PU的信号的质量,如图2所示,在一些实施例中,所述移位寄存器还包括滤波子电路40。
滤波子电路40,连接到第二节点B、上拉节点PU、第二电压端V2。滤波子电路40配置为在来自第二电压端V2的电压的控制下,将第二节点B输入至滤波子电路40的电压中的杂波滤除后,输出至上拉节点PU。
在一些实施例中,为了使本公开提供的移位寄存器能够实现正向扫描和反向扫描,如图1和2所示,所述移位寄存器还包括第二输入子电路50。
第二输入子电路50,连接到第二信号端S2、第四电压端V4和第一节点A。第二输入子电路50配置为在来自第四电压端V4的电压的控制下, 将第二信号端S2的电压输出至第一节点A。

本公开的一些实施例提供一种栅极驱动电路,如图6和图7所示,包括至少两级级联的上述移位寄存器。
在一些实施例中,第一级移位寄存器RS1的第一信号端S1与起始信号端STV相连接。除了第一级移位寄存器RS1以外,每一级移位寄存器RS(n)的第一信号端S1与其上一级移位寄存器RS(n-1)的信号输出端Oput相连接,其中,n为大于1的整数。起始信号端STV用于输出起始信号,该栅极驱动电路的第一级移位寄存器RS1在接收到上述起始信号后开始对栅线(G1、G2……Gn)进行逐行扫描。即,在此情况下,栅极驱动电路对栅线进行正向扫描。
在一些实施例中,当移位寄存器还包括第二输入子电路20时,如图7所示,除了最后一级移位寄存器以外,每一级移位寄存器RS(m)的第二信号端S2与其下一级移位寄存器RS(m+1)的信号输出端Oput相连接,其中,m为大于等于1的整数。最后一级移位寄存器的第二信号端S2连接起始信号端STV或者复位信号端(图8中以最后一级移位寄存器的第二信号端S2连接起始信号端STV进行示意说明的)。
在最后一级移位寄存器的第二信号端S2连接起始信号端STV的情况下,起始信号端STV用于输出起始信号,最后一级移位寄存器在接收到上述起始信号后开始对栅线(Gm……G2、G1)进行逐行扫描。即,在此情况下,栅极驱动电路对栅线进行反向扫描。
需要说明的是,由上述对栅极驱动电路正向扫描和反向扫描的描述可知,当移位寄存器既包括第一输入子电路10又包括第二输入子电路50时,在整个驱动过程中,第一输入子电路10和第二输入子电路50只开启一个,而另一个保持关闭。也就是说,当栅极驱动电路中的移位寄存器既包括第一输入子电路10又包括第二输入子电路50时,该栅极驱动电路要么对栅线进行正向扫描,要么对栅线进行反向扫描(视具体的级联方式而定)。
在一些实施例中,在移位寄存器包括输出子电路70的情况下,如图6 和图7所示,奇数级的移位寄存器中第一时钟信号端CKB与第一时钟信号线CKB’连接,第二时钟信号端CK与第二时钟信号线CK连接’。偶数级的移位寄存器中第一时钟信号端CKB与所述第二时钟信号线CK’连接,第二时钟信号端CK与第一时钟信号线CKB’连接。即,第一时钟信号线CKB’向奇数级的移位寄存器中第一时钟信号端CKB输入信号,向偶数级的移位寄存器中第二时钟信号端CK输入信号。第二时钟信号线CK’连接向奇数级的移位寄存器中第二时钟信号端CK输入信号,向偶数级的移位寄存器中第一时钟信号端CKB输入信号。本公开的实施例提供的栅极驱动电路的有益效果与上述移位寄存器的有益效果相同,此处不再赘述。
本公开的一些实施例提供一种显示装置,包括如上所述的任意一种栅极驱动电路,具有与前述栅极驱动电路相同的有益效果。由于前述实施例已经对栅极驱动电路的结构和有益效果进行了详细的描述,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,在本公开的一些实施例中,显示装置至少可以包括液晶显示面板或有机发光二极管显示面板。例如该显示面板可以应用至显示器、电视、数码相框、手机或平板电脑等任何具有显示功能的产品或者部件中。以下结合上述栅极驱动电路对移位寄存器的驱动过程作进一步的说明。其中,本公开实施例提供的移位寄存器的各子电路中的晶体管可以为N型晶体管,也可以为P型晶体管。此外,上述晶体管可以为增强型晶体管,也可以为耗尽型晶体管。上述晶体管的第一极可以为源极,第二极可以为漏极。或者,上述晶体管的第一极可以为漏极,第二极为源极,本公开对此不作限定。
以下,以上述晶体管均为N型晶体管为例,结合图8所示的信号时序图对图5所示的移位寄存器在一图像帧(例如第U帧,U≥1,U为正整数)的不同的阶段的通断情况进行详细的举例说明。其中,第一时钟信号端CKB和第二时钟信号端CK为互补信号,第一电压端V1和第四电压端V4是控制正反扫描的高低电平。
以下实施例以第二电压端V2恒定输出高电平,第三电压端V3恒定输出低电平为例进行的说明。此外,以下实施例以正向扫描为例,即以第一输入子电路10工作,第二输入子电路50不工作为例进行说明(即第一电压端V1输入高电平信号,第四电压端V4输入低电平信号)。
本公开中的移位寄存器的驱动方法包括:输入阶段、输出阶段、下拉阶段。
由于针对第一级移位寄存器RS1和第一级移位寄存器RS1以后的移位寄存器(RS2、RS3……RSn),在输入阶段的控制信号具有一定的区别,因此,以下以图7的栅极驱动电路(采用图5的移位寄存器)结合图8的控制时序图,对第一级移位寄存器RS1和第一级移位寄存器RS1以后的移位寄存器(RS2、RS3……RSn)在输入阶段的区别进行说明。
参考图8,以第一级移位寄存器RS1和第二级移位寄存器RS2为例,第一级移位寄存器RS1的驱动过程包括:输入阶段P1’、输出阶段P2’、下拉阶段P3’。第二级移位寄存器RS2的驱动过程包括:输入阶段P1、输出阶段P2、下拉阶段P3。第一级移位寄存器RS1的输出阶段P2’与第二级移位寄存器RS2输入阶段P1为同一时段;第一级移位寄存器RS1的下拉阶段P3’与第二级移位寄存器RS2的输出阶段P2为同一时段。
第一级移位寄存器RS1和第二级移位寄存器RS2在输入阶段的时序控制的区别在于:第一级移位寄存器RS1在输入阶段P1’,第一时钟信号端CKB为低电位,而第二级移位寄存器RS2在输入阶段P1,第一时钟信号端CKB为高电平,但两者都可以保证栅极驱动电路的正常工作。
以下,以第二级移位寄存器RS2为例,结合图5的移位寄存器中的各晶体管的通断以及图8的时序,对移位寄存器在一图像帧(例如第U帧,U≥1,U为正整数)的不同的阶段中各晶体管的通断情况进行详细的举例说明。在输入阶段P1,S1=1,CK=0(对应图8中(CKB’)),CKB=1(对应图8中(CK’)),S3=0,S4=0;“0”表示低电平,“1”表示高电平。
第一电压端V1输出高电平,因此第一晶体管T1导通,从而将第一信号端S1的高电平输出至第一节点A,控制第二晶体管T2开启,第二电压端V2的电压经第二晶体管T2传输至第二节点B。由于第二电压端V2恒定输出高电平,因此第七晶体管T7为常开晶体管。第二节点B上的高电平经第七晶体管T7滤波后输出至上拉节点PU,并通过第二电容C2对该高电平进行存储。在上拉节点PU高电位的控制下,第十一晶体管T11导通,将第二时钟信号端CK的低电平至信号输出端Oput,并控制第五晶体管T5截止。
与此同时,第一信号端S1的高电平输出至第一节点A,第一节点A的高电平控制第四晶体管T4开启,将第三电压端V3的低电平传输至下拉节点PD。此时,即使在第二电压端V2输出的高电平的控制下,第六晶体 管T6导通,将第一时钟信号端CKB的高电平输出至第三晶体管T3的栅极,控制第三晶体管T3开启,将第一时钟信号端CKB的高电平输出至下拉节点PD,但第三晶体管T3、第四晶体管T4和第六晶体管T6在下拉节点PD的分压使得第九晶体管T9和第十晶体管T10仍处于截止状态,保证上拉节点PU的充电状态。
第三信号端S3输入低电平控制第十二晶体管T12截止。第四信号端S4输入低电平信号,控制第十三晶体管T13、第十四晶体管T14、第十五晶体管T15截止。
综上所述,在输入阶段P1,第一晶体管T1开启、第二晶体管T2开启、第三晶体管T3截止、第四晶体管T4开启、第五晶体管T5截止、第六晶体管T6开启、第七晶体管T7开启、第八晶体管T8截止、第九晶体管T9截止、第十晶体管T10截止、第十一晶体管T11开启、第十二晶体管T12截止、第十三晶体管T13截止、第十四晶体管T14截止、第十五晶体管T15截止,信号输出端Oput在上述输入阶段P1输出低电平。
输出阶段P2,S1=0,CK=1,CKB=0,S3=0,S4=0。
第一电压端V1输出高电平,因此第一晶体管T1导通,从而将第一信号端S1的低电平输出至第一节点A,控制第二晶体管T2和第四晶体管T4截止。第二电容C2将输入阶段P1存储的高电平对上拉节点PU进行充电,从而使得第十一晶体管T11保持开启状态。在此情况下,第二时钟信号端CK的高电平通过第十一晶体管T11输出至信号输出端Oput,并控制第五晶体管T5开启,第三电压端V3的低电平经过第五晶体管T5传输至下拉节点PD。下拉节点PD的低电平控制第九晶体管T9和第十晶体管T10截止。
此外,在第二电容C2的自举(Bootstrapping)作用下,上拉节点PU的电位进一步升高(第二电容C2与信号输出端Oput连接的一端的电位由0跳变为1,在第二电容C2对上拉节点PU进行充电时,上拉节点PU的电位在1的基础上再向高电位跳变1),以维持第十一晶体管T11处于导通的状态。从而使得第二时钟信号端CK的高电平能够作为栅极扫描信号输出至与信号输出端Oput相连接的栅线上。
与此同时,在第二电压端V2输出的高电平的控制下,第六晶体管T6导通。第一时钟信号端CKB输出的低电平,控制第三晶体管T3截止。
第三信号端S3输入低电平控制第十二晶体管T12截止。第四信号端 S4输入低电平,控制第十三晶体管T13、第十四晶体管T14、第十五晶体管T15截止。
综上所述,在输出阶段P2,第一晶体管T1开启、第二晶体管T2截止、第三晶体管T3截止、第四晶体管T4截止、第五晶体管T5开启、第六晶体管T6开启、第七晶体管T7开启、第八晶体管T8截止、第九晶体管T9截止、第十晶体管T10截止、第十一晶体管T11开启、第十二晶体管T12截止、第十三晶体管T13截止、第十四晶体管T14截止、第十五晶体管T15截止,信号输出端Oput在上述输出阶段P2输出高电平,以向与信号输出端Oput相连接的栅线输出栅极扫描信号。
下拉阶段P3,S1=0,CK=0,CKB=1,S3=0,S4=0。
第一电压端V1输出高电平,第一晶体管T1导通,从而将第一信号端S1的低电平输出至第一节点A,控制第二晶体管T2和第四晶体管T4截止。在第二电压端V2输出的高电平的控制下,第七晶体管T7和第六晶体管T6导通,第一时钟信号端CKB输出的高电平控制第三晶体管T3开启,并将第一时钟信号端CKB输出的高电平传输至下拉节点PD。下拉节点PD控制第九晶体管T9和第十晶体管T10均开启,通过第九晶体管T9将第二节点B的电位下拉至第三电压端V3的低电平。第二节点B的低电平经第七晶体管T7滤除杂波后传输至上拉节点PU,即,将上拉节点PU的电位下拉至第三电压端V3的低电平,并控制第十一晶体管T11截止。通过第十晶体管T10将信号输出端Oput的电位下拉至第三电压端V3的低电平,并控制第五晶体管T5截止。第一电容C1将下拉节点PD的高电平进行存储,使下拉节点PD长时间稳定的保持高电平。
此外,第三信号端S3输入低电平,控制第十二晶体管T12截止。第四信号端S4输入低电平,控制第十三晶体管T13、第十四晶体管T14、第十五晶体管T15截止。
综上所述,在下拉阶段P3,第一晶体管T1开启、第二晶体管T2截止、第三晶体管T3开启、第四晶体管T4截止、第五晶体管T5截止、第六晶体管T6开启、第七晶体管T7开启、第八晶体管T8截止、第九晶体管T9开启、第十晶体管T10开启、第十一晶体管T11截止、第十二晶体管T12截止、第十三晶体管T13截止、第十四晶体管T14截止、第十五晶体管T15截止,信号输出端Oput在上述下拉阶段P3输出低电平。
需要说明的是,针对如图3所示的移位寄存器,由于移位寄存器不包 括第六晶体管T6,因此,在上述下拉阶段P3中,通过第一时钟信号端CKB的高电平控制第三晶体管T3开启,并将第一时钟信号端CKB的高电平传输至下拉节点PD。在移位寄存器中包括第六晶体管T6的情况下,则第一时钟信号端CKB的高电平经开启的第六晶体管T6传输至第三晶体管T3的栅极,控制第三晶体管T3开启,第一时钟信号端CKB的高电平经第三晶体管T3传输至下拉节点PD。
在移位寄存器不包括第六晶体管T6的情况下,下拉节点PD的电压如图9中虚线所示。在移位寄存器包括第六晶体管T6的情况下,下拉节点PD的电压如图9中实线所示。从图9可知,在移位寄存器不包括第六晶体管T6的情况下,移位寄存器中下拉节点PD电压无法完整保持第一时钟信号的高电平(存在损失),这是因为N型晶体管在输出高电平时存在不可避免的阈值损失,导致第三晶体管T3在给下拉节点PD充电时无法达到完整的高点平幅值,存在一定的损失。在移位寄存器包括第六晶体管T6的情况下,移位寄存器中下拉节点PD电压如图9所示,能完整保持第一时钟信号的高电平。增加第六晶体管T6后,第六晶体管T6和第三晶体管T3配合,使得第三晶体管T3栅极发生自举,使得第一时钟信号端CKB的高电平通过第三晶体管T3能完整的给下拉节点PD充电,避免阈值损失,实现第一时钟信号端CKB的高电平无损输入到下拉节点PD。起到对下拉节点PD上的电压信号进行提升驱动能力及波形整形的作用,从而确保下拉节点PD上的电压信号的持续稳定,提升了显示器栅极驱动的性能及稳定性。
参考图10中相关技术的移位寄存器,本级移位寄存器在上述下拉阶段输出低电平无法由本级移位寄存器来实现,而是依靠下一级移位寄存器(即OputN+1端)输出的高电平来完成的(也即图10中的晶体管M1在下一级移位寄存器输出的高电平到来之前一直保持开启)。这样一来,如图11所示,在下一级异常输出的情况下,无法实现本级移位寄存器在下拉阶段的复位,导致后续连锁输出异常。
另外,相比图10中将上一级移位寄存器的信号输出端OputN-1与本级移位寄存器中的相应的晶体管的栅极连接。本公开提供的移位寄存器中,增加了第二晶体管T2,并改变上一级移位寄存器的信号输出端Oput与本级移位寄存器的连接方式后(上一级移位寄存器的信号输出端Oput不与本级移位寄存器第一晶体管T1的栅极相连),移位寄存器在下拉阶段的复 位和保持复位都是第三晶体管T3完成。其中,本公开提供的移位寄存器中,由于本级第四晶体管T4在输入低电平后保持关闭状态,即第一节点A在输入阶段之后一直保持低电平(如图8中A点的时序所示),使得第一时钟信号端CKB的高电平可以由第三晶体管T3传输至下拉节点PD,以拉高下拉节点PD的电位,拉低上拉节点PU的电位,从而实现在下拉阶段复位的目的。避免下一级异常输出使本级无法复位,避免出现后续连锁异常输出,提升显示器栅极驱动的性能及稳定性。
在移位寄存器包括初始化子电路80的情况下,在初始化阶段,S1=0,CK=0,CKB=0,S3=1,S4=0。
第三信号端S3输出高电平,控制第十二晶体管T12开启,将第二电压端V2的高电平输出至下拉节点PD。下拉节点PD控制第九晶体管T9和第十晶体管T10开启,第九晶体管T9将第三电压端V3的低电平输出至上拉节点PU,第十晶体管T10将第三电压端V3的低电平输出至信号输出端Oput,将上拉节点PU和信号输出端Oput的电压均拉低,完成对移位寄存器的初始化。
综上所述,在该初始化阶段P4,第一晶体管T1开启、第二晶体管T2截止、第三晶体管T3截止、第四晶体管T4截止、第五晶体管T5截止、第六晶体管T6开启、第七晶体管T7开启、第八晶体管T8截止、第九晶体管T9开启、第十晶体管T10开启、第十一晶体管T11截止、第十二晶体管T12开启、第十三晶体管T13截止、第十四晶体管T14截止、第十五晶体管T15截止,信号输出端Oput在上述初始化阶段P4输出低电平。
在移位寄存器包括残荷消除子电路90的情况下,在栅极驱动电路每次关机时,在残荷消除阶段,S1=0,S3=0,S4=1。
第四信号端S4输出高电平,控制第十三晶体管T13、第十四晶体管T14、第十五晶体管T15开启。第十四晶体管T14开启,将第四信号端S4的高电平输出至信号输出端Oput,使信号输出端Oput输出高电平,以使整个电路完成放电,消除因异常显示而残留在电路内的电荷。
为了保证残荷的消除效果,第十五晶体管T15开启,将第三电压端V3输出的低电平输出至上拉节点PU,以避免其他信号影响信号输出端Oput的电位。
与此同时,为了进一步保证残荷的消除效果,第十三晶体管T13开启,将第三电压端V3输出的低电平输出至下拉节点PD,以避免其他信号影响 下拉节点PD的电位。
需要说明的是,若移位寄存器没有上述第十三晶体管T13,则仍然可以通过第十四晶体管T14单独工作,完成残荷消除任务。
本公开提供的残荷消除子电路90,包括第十三晶体管T13、第十四晶体管T14和第十五晶体管T15,三个晶体管相配合,实现保持上拉节点PU为高电平,提升了显示器栅极驱动的性能及稳定性。
综上所述,在该残荷消除阶段,第一晶体管T1开启、第二晶体管T2截止、第三晶体管T3截止、第四晶体管T4截止、第五晶体管T5截止、第六晶体管T6开启、第七晶体管T7开启、第八晶体管T8截止、第九晶体管T9截止、第十晶体管T10截止、第十一晶体管T11截止、第十二晶体管T12截止、第十三晶体管T13开启、第十四晶体管T14开启、第十五晶体管T15开启,信号输出端Oput在上述残荷消除阶段P5输出高电平。
需要说明的是,上述实施例中晶体管的通、断过程是以所有晶体管为N型晶体管为例进行说明的。当所有晶体管均为P型时,需要对图5中各个控制信号进行翻转,而移位寄存器中各个子电路的晶体管的通断过程同上所述,此处不再赘述。
此外,上述移位寄存器的工作过程,是以上述多个移位寄存器级联构成的栅极驱动电路采用正向扫描的方式为例进行的说明。当采用反向扫描时,在图3、图4和图5所示的移位寄存器中,在输入阶段P1,使第一晶体管T1截止,第八晶体管T8开启即可。
本公开的一些实施例提供一种用于驱动上述任意一种移位寄存器的方法,如图12所示,所述驱动方法包括步骤10-30(S10-S30):
输入阶段P1:
S10、在来自第一电压端V1的电压的控制下,第一输入子电路10将第一信号端S1输入的电压输出至第一节点A,以通过第一节点A控制上拉控制子电路20开启,将第二电压端V2的电压经第二节点B输出至上拉节点PU。与此同时,在来自第一节点A的电压的控制下,下拉控制子电路30将第三电压端V3的电压输出至下拉节点PD。
在移位寄存器单元还包括滤波子电路40的情况下,在该输入阶段P1:
在第一电压端V1的控制下,第一输入子电路10将第一信号端S1输入的电压输出至第一节点A,第一节点A控制上拉控制子电路20开启,将第二电压端V2的电压输出至第二节点B,滤波子电路40将第二节点B 输入的电压中的杂波滤除后输出至上拉节点PU。
在该上述移位寄存器还包括下拉子电路60、初始化子电路80和残荷消除子电路90的情况下,该输入阶段P1中,下拉子电路60、初始化子电路80、残荷消除子电路90均关闭。在一些实施例中,上述移位寄存器中各个子电路的结构如图5所示,且各个子电路中的晶体管均为N型晶体管。在该输入阶段P1中,第一信号端S1输入高电平,第一时钟信号端CKB输入高电平,第二时钟信号端CK输入低电平,第三信号端S3输入低电平,第四信号端S4输入低电平,第一电压端V1输入高电平,第二电压端V2输入高电平,第三电压端V3输入低电平,第四电压端V4输入低电平,上拉节点PU为高电平,下拉节点PD为低电平,信号输出端Oput输出低电平。
在此情况下,由于第一电压端V1输出高电平,因此第一晶体管T1导通,从而将第一信号端S1的高电平输出至第一节点A,控制第二晶体管T2开启,第二电压端V2的电压经第二晶体管T2传输至第二节点B。由于第二电压端V2输出高电平,因此第七晶体管T7为常开晶体管,第二节点B上的高电平经第七晶体管T7滤波后输出至上拉节点PU,并通过第二电容C2对该高电平进行存储。在上拉节点PU高电平的控制下,第十一晶体管T11导通,将第二时钟信号端CK的低电平输出至信号输出端Oput,并控制第五晶体管T5截止。
与此同时,第一节点A的高电平控制第四晶体管T4开启,将第三电压端V3的低电平传输至下拉节点PD,此时,即使在第二电压端V2输出的高电平的控制下,第六晶体管T6导通,将第一时钟信号端CKB的高电平输出至第三晶体管T3的栅极,控制第三晶体管T3开启,将第一时钟信号端CKB的高电平输出至下拉节点PD,但第三晶体管T3、第四晶体管T4和第六晶体管T6在下拉节点PD的分压使得第九晶体管T9和第十晶体管T10仍处于截止状态,保证上拉节点PU的充电状态。
第三信号端S3输入低电平控制第十二晶体管T12截止,第四信号端S4输入低电平,控制第十三晶体管T13、第十四晶体管T14、第十五晶体管T15截止。
输出阶段P2:
S20、在来自第一节点A的电压的控制下,使上拉控制子电路20处于关闭状态;并在来自信号输出端Oput的电压的控制下,下拉控制子电路 30将第三电压端V3的电压输出至下拉节点PD。
在该输出阶段P2中,在来自上拉节点PU的电压的控制下,输出子电路70将第二时钟信号端CK的时钟信号(高电位)输出至信号输出端Oput,该信号输出端Oput输出栅极扫描信号。
与此同时,在信号输出端Oput输出的高电平控制下,下拉控制子电路30将第三电压端V3的低电平输出至下拉节点PD,控制下拉子电路60关闭。初始化子电路80和残荷消除子电路90均关闭。
在一些实施例中,上述移位寄存器中各个子电路的结构如图5所示,且各个子电路中的晶体管均为N型晶体管。在该输出阶段P2中,第一信号端S1输入低电平,第二时钟信号端CK输入高电平,第一时钟信号端CKB输入低电平,第三信号端S3输入低电平,第四信号端S4输入低电平,第一电压端V1输入高电平,第二电压端V2输入高电平,第三电压端V3输入低电平,第四电压端V4输入低电平,上拉节点PU为高电平,下拉节点PD为低电平,信号输出端Oput输出高电平。
此时,由于第一电压端V1输出高电平,因此第一晶体管T1导通,从而将第一信号端S1的低电平输出至第一节点A,控制第二晶体管T2和第四晶体管T4截止。第二电容C2用输入阶段P1存储的高电平对上拉节点PU进行充电,从而使得第十一晶体管T11保持开启状态。在此情况下,第二时钟信号端CK的高电平通过第十一晶体管T11输出至信号输出端Oput,并控制第五晶体管T5开启,第三电压端V3的低电平经过第五晶体管T5传输至下拉节点PD,下拉节点PD的低电平控制第九晶体管T9和第十晶体管T10截止。
此外,在第二电容C2的自举作用下,上拉节点PU的电位进一步升高,以维持第十一晶体管T11处于导通的状态,从而使得第二时钟信号端CK的高电平能够作为栅极扫描信号输出至与信号输出端Oput相连接的栅线上。
与此同时,在第二电压端V2输出的高电平的控制下,第六晶体管T6导通,第一时钟信号输出低电平,控制第三晶体管T3截止。
第三信号端S3输入低电平控制第十二晶体管T12截止,第四信号端S4输入低电平,控制第十三晶体管T13、第十四晶体管T14、第十五晶体管T15截止。
下拉阶段P3:
S30、在来自第一节点A的电压的控制下,使上拉控制子电路20处于关闭状态;并在第一时钟信号端CKB的控制下,下拉控制子电路30将第一时钟信号端CKB的时钟信号(高电位)输出至下拉节点PD。
在下拉阶段P3中,在来自下拉节点PD的电压控制下,下拉子电路60将第三电压端V3输入的电压输出至第二节点B,滤波子电路40将第二节点B输入的电压中的杂波滤除后输出至上拉节点PU,控制输出子电路70关闭。下拉子电路60还将第三电压端V3输入的电压输出至信号输出端Oput。
与此同时,输出子电路70、初始化子电路80和残荷消除子电路90均关闭。
在一些实施例中,上述移位寄存器中各个子电路的结构如图5所示,且各个子电路中的晶体管均为N型晶体管。在该下拉阶段P3中,第一信号端S1输入低电平,第二时钟信号端CK输入低电平,第一时钟信号端CKB输入高电平,第三信号端S3输入低电平,第四信号端S4输入低电平,第一电压端V1输入高电平,第二电压端V2输入高电平,第三电压端V3输入低电平,第四电压端V4输入低电平,上拉节点PU为低电平,下拉节点PD为高电平,信号输出端Oput输出低电平。
此时,由于第一电压端V1输出高电平,因此第一晶体管T1导通,从而将第一信号端S1的低电平输出至第一节点A,控制第二晶体管T2和第四晶体管T4截止。在第二电压端V2输出的高电平的控制下,第七晶体管T7和第六晶体管T6导通,第一时钟信号端CKB输出的高电平控制第三晶体管T3开启,并将第一时钟信号端CKB输出的高电平输出至下拉节点PD。下拉节点PD控制第九晶体管T9和第十晶体管T10均开启,通过第九晶体管T9将第二节点B的电位下拉至第三电压端V3的低电平。第二节点B的低电平经第七晶体管T7滤除杂波后传输至上拉节点PU,即将上拉节点PU的电位下拉至第三电压端V3的低电平,并控制第十一晶体管T11截止。通过第十晶体管T10将信号输出端Oput的电位下拉至第三电压端V3的低电平,并控制第五晶体管T5截止。第一电容C1将下拉节点PD的高电平进行存储,使下拉节点PD长时间稳定的保持高电平。
此外,第三信号端S3输入低电平控制第十二晶体管T12截止,第四信号端S4输入低电平,控制第十三晶体管T13、第十四晶体管T14、第十五晶体管T15截止。
在移位寄存器包括初始化子电路80和残荷消除子电路90的情况下,在一图像帧开始或者结束时,如图13所示,该移位寄存器的驱动方法还包括步骤40(S40):
初始化阶段:
S40、在来自第三信号端S3的信号的控制下,初始化子电路80将第二电压端V2的电压输出至下拉节点PD;在来自下拉节点PD的电压的控制下,下拉子电路60将第三电压端V3输入的电压输出至第二节点B,滤波子电路40将第二节点B输入的电压中的杂波滤除后输出至上拉节点PU;下拉子电路60还将第三电压端V3输入的下拉信号输出至信号输出端Oput。
在该初始化阶段中,初始化子电路80、下拉子电路60、滤波子电路40开启。
在一些实施例中,上述移位寄存器中各个子电路的结构如图5所示,且各个子电路中的晶体管均为N型晶体管。在该初始化阶段中,第一信号端S1输入低电平,第二时钟信号端CK输入低电平,第一时钟信号端CKB输入低电平,第三信号端S3输入高电平,第四信号端S4输入低电平,第一电压端V1输入高电平,第二电压端V2输入高电平,第三电压端V3输入低电平,第四电压端V4输入低电平,上拉节点PU为低电平,下拉节点PD为高电平,信号输出端Oput输出低电平。
此时,第三信号端S3输出高电平,控制第十二晶体管T12开启,将第二电压端V2的高电平输出至下拉节点PD,下拉节点PD控制第九晶体管T9和第十晶体管T10开启。第九晶体管T9将第三电压端V3的低电平输出至上拉节点PU,第十晶体管T10将第三电压端V3的低电平输出至信号输出端Oput,将上拉节点PU和信号输出端Oput的电压均拉低,完成对移位寄存器的初始化。
在移位寄存器包括残荷消除子电路90的情况下,栅极驱动电路在每次关机时,如图14所示,该移位寄存器的驱动方法还包括步骤50(S50):
残荷消除阶段:
S50、在来自第四信号端S4的控制下,残荷消除子电路90将第三电压端V3的电压输出至下拉节点PD和第二节点B,滤波子电路40将第二节点B输入的电压中的杂波滤除后输出至上拉节点PU;残荷消除子电路90还将第四信号端S4的电压输出至信号输出端Oput。
在该残荷消除阶段,残荷消除子电路90、下拉子电路60、滤波子电路40开启。
在一些实施例中,上述移位寄存器中各个子电路的结构如图5所示,且各个子电路中的晶体管均为N型晶体管。在该残荷消除阶段中,第一信号端S1输入低电平,第二时钟信号端CK输入低电平,第一时钟信号端CKB输入高电平,第三信号端S3输入低电平,第四信号端S4输入高电平,第一电压端V1输入高电平,第二电压端V2输入高电平,第三电压端V3输入低电平,第四电压端V4输入低电平。
此时,第四信号端S4输出高电平,控制第十三晶体管T13、第十四晶体管T14、第十五晶体管T15开启。第十四晶体管T14开启将第四信号端S4的高电平输出至信号输出端Oput。第十五晶体管T15开启将第三电压端V3输出的低电平输出至上拉节点PU。第十三晶体管T13开启将第三电压端V3输出的低电平输出至下拉节点PD,下拉节点PD控制第九晶体管T9和第十晶体管T10截止。
以上是以第一输入子电路10开启,栅极驱动电路进行正向扫描进行示意说明的,此时,即使移位寄存器中包括第二输入子电路50,在第一输入子电路10开启的情况下,第二输入子电路50也保持关闭。
在移位寄存器包括第二输入子电路50的情况下,若要实现栅极驱动电路反向扫描,则第一输入子电路10关闭,第二输入子电路50开启即可,即第四电压端V4输入高电平,第一电压端V1输入低电平,其他信号不变。
相对于正向扫描而言,反向扫描与正向扫描的区别在于:在输入阶段P1,在来自第四电压端V4的电压的控制下,第二输入子电路50将第二信号端S2输入的电压输出至第一节点A,以通过第一节点A的电压控制上拉控制子电路20开启,将第二电压端V2的电压经第二节点B输出至上拉节点PU;同时,在来自第一节点A的电压的控制下,下拉控制子电路30将第三电压端V3的电压输出至下拉节点PD。
对于其他阶段的驱动过程,与前述的各阶段的驱动过程一致,具体可以参考前述,此处不再赘述。对于在各阶段中各晶体管的开启与关闭而言,其区别仅在于,将前述第一晶体管T1的开启替换为第八晶体管T8的开启,其余晶体管在各阶段的开启与关闭与前述一致,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,在移位寄存器应用于栅极驱动电路的情况下,在每一图像帧内,均包括输入阶段P1、输出阶段P2和下拉阶段P3。而对于初始 化阶段而言,一般设置于每一图像帧开始或者结束时进行。对于残荷消除阶段而言,则在栅极驱动电路每次关机时进行。
本公开的实施例提供的移位寄存器的驱动方法,其有益效果与上述位移寄存器相同,此处不再赘述。
以上所述,仅为本公开的具体实施方式,但本公开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公开揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此,本公开的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
