Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3 in combination, fig. 1 is a schematic plan view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is a schematic partial enlarged view of a region Q1 in fig. 1, fig. 3 is a timing diagram of a branch control signal in fig. 2, and the display panel 000 according to the embodiment includes: the pixel structure comprises a plurality of sub-pixels P, a plurality of scanning lines G and a plurality of data lines S, wherein the scanning lines G and the data lines S are crossed and insulated to define the area where the sub-pixels P are located;
the display panel 000 includes a non-display area NA including a multiplexing circuit 10, the multiplexing circuit 10 including a plurality of multiplexing units 101;
the multiplexing unit 101 comprises a signal input end 101A, a plurality of signal output ends 101B, a plurality of shunt control ends 101C and a plurality of switch transistors 101T, wherein the gate of the switch transistor 101T is connected with the shunt control end 101C, the first pole of the switch transistor 101T is connected with the signal input end 101A, and the second pole of the switch transistor 101T is connected with the signal output end 101B; the signal input end 101A is connected with a data voltage signal Vdata, and the signal output ends 101B are electrically connected with the data lines S in a one-to-one correspondence manner;
the shunt control terminal 101C is connected to the shunt control signal CKH, which includes an enable signal CKHA, a non-enable signal CKHB, and at least one transition signal CKHC, where the value of the transition signal CKHC is between the value of the enable signal CKHA and the value of the non-enable signal CKHB;
at least one transition signal CKHC is included in the process of converting the non-enable signal CKHB into the enable signal CKHA, and at least one transition signal CKHC is included in the process of converting the enable signal CKHA into the non-enable signal CKHB.
Specifically, the non-display area NA of the display panel 000 of the present embodiment includes a multiplexing circuit 10, and the multiplexing circuit 10 is configured to provide the data voltage signal Vdata to each data line S in the display area AA. In the prior art, with the requirement of high resolution of the display panel 000, the number of the sub-pixels P in the display panel 000 is increasing, and the number of the signal lines such as the data lines S is also increasing, so that the frame of the display panel 000 with high resolution needs more and more space for arranging some structures (such as the structure of the pads connected to the signal lines to provide driving signals for the signal lines), and further, it is difficult to implement narrow frame design. The present embodiment provides the multiplexing circuit 10 in the non-display area NA, and the multiplexing circuit 10 includes a plurality of multiplexing units 101, i.e., a multiplexer (Demultiplexer) 101, for dividing one signal into a plurality of signal channels. Optionally, each multiplexing unit 101 includes a signal input end 101A, a plurality of signal output ends 101B, a plurality of shunt control ends 101C, and a plurality of switch transistors 101T, where the number of shunt control ends 101C, the number of signal output ends 101B, and the number of switch transistors 101T included in each multiplexing unit 101 may be equal. The gate of the switch transistor 101T is connected to the shunt control terminal 101C, the shunt control signal CKH connected to the shunt control terminal 101C controls the switch transistor 101T to be turned on or off, if the switch transistor 101T is a P-type transistor, the shunt control signal CKH provides a low-level (e.g., negative-value voltage) signal to the gate of the switch transistor 101T, and the switch transistor 101T is in a conducting state, and if the switch transistor 101T is an N-type transistor, the shunt control signal CKH provides a high-level (e.g., positive-value voltage) signal to the gate of the switch transistor 101T, and the switch transistor 101T is in a conducting state. The first pole of the switching transistor 101T of each multiplexing unit 101 of the present embodiment is connected to one signal input terminal 101A, and when the switching transistor 101T is in an on state, transmission can be conducted between the signal input terminal 101A connected to the first pole of the switching transistor 101T and the signal output terminal 101B connected to the second pole. Since the signal input terminal 101A of the present embodiment is connected to the data voltage signal Vdata (optionally, the data voltage signal Vdata may be provided by a driving chip bound in the non-display area NA, not shown in the drawings), and the signal output terminals 101B are electrically connected to the data lines S in a one-to-one correspondence manner, when the switching transistor 101T is turned on, the data voltage signal Vdata provided by one signal input terminal 101A included in each multiplexing unit 101 may be transmitted to a plurality of data lines S connected to a plurality of corresponding signal output terminals 101B, so as to provide the data driving signal to the sub-pixel P through the data line S, thereby achieving the light emitting display effect of the sub-pixel P. Because one signal input end 101A of each multiplexing unit 101 corresponds to the plurality of signal output ends 101B through the plurality of switching transistors 101T, the data voltage signal Vdata of one signal input end 101A can be decomposed into a plurality of signal channels, and transmitted to the plurality of data lines S in the display area AA simultaneously or in a time-sharing manner, which is beneficial to reducing the number of data signal transmission lines connected with the signal input end 101A in the non-display area NA, and is further beneficial to reducing the layout space of the non-display area NA, reducing the frame of the display panel 000, and realizing a narrow frame design.
It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, the larger the number of the signal output terminals 101B corresponding to one signal input terminal 101A of each multiplexing unit 101 is, the more the reduction of the size of the frame can be achieved, and the narrower frame design is achieved, in fig. 2 of the present embodiment, an example is only illustrated in which one signal input terminal 101A of each multiplexing unit 101 corresponds to three signal output terminals 101B through three switching transistors 101T, for example, if the three switching transistors 101T are 101T1, 101T2, and 101T3, the shunt control terminals 101C connected to the gates of the three switching transistors 101T are 101C1, 101C2, and 101C3, respectively, the shunt control terminal 101C1 is connected to the shunt control signal CKH1, the shunt control terminal 101C2 is connected to the shunt control signal CKH2, and the shunt control terminal 101C3 is connected to the shunt control signal CKH3, where the shunt control signal CKH1, the shunt control signal CKH2, and the shunt control signal CKH3 include the enable signal CKHA, the non-enable signal, the at least one transition signal, and when the embodiment is implemented, the more the number of the signal output terminals 101A corresponding to each multiplexing unit 101A can be also not limited.
It can be understood that, when the display panel 000 is an oled display panel, the layout of the signal lines in the display panel 000 is complex, and at this time, one sub-pixel row may correspond to a plurality of scan lines G, and the area where the sub-pixel P is located may be an area defined by one scan line G and the data line S.
In each multiplexing unit 101 in this embodiment, the gate of the switching transistor 101T needs to be connected to the shunt control terminal 101C, and a shunt control signal CKH for controlling whether the switching transistor 101T is turned on or off is supplied through the shunt control terminal 101C. In the whole process of controlling the on and off of the switch transistor 101T, the shunt control signal CKH in the prior art only has two states of high level and low level, and as the size of the display panel becomes larger and larger, the resolution becomes higher and higher, in order to ensure the narrow-frame design, the number of the signal output terminals 101B corresponding to one signal input terminal 101A of each multiplexing unit 101 also becomes larger and larger, at this time, the shunt control signal CKH only having two states of high level and low level is continuously used to control the on and off of the switch transistor 101T, which may cause the power consumption of the multiplexing circuit 10 to be very large, and further affect the overall display quality of the display panel 000.
In order to solve the above problem, in the display panel 000 of the embodiment, the shunt control signal CKH connected to the shunt control terminal 101C is set to include not only the enable signal CKHA and the disable signal CKHB but also at least one transition signal CKHC during at least one period of controlling the on and off of the switching transistor 101T, wherein the value of the transition signal CKHC is between the value of the enable signal CKHA and the value of the disable signal CKHB; it can be understood that the shunt control signal CKH is an enable signal CKHA, which indicates that the value of the enable signal CKHA can turn on the switch transistor 101T controlled by the shunt control terminal 101C, and the shunt control signal CKH is a non-enable signal CKHB, which indicates that the value of the non-enable signal CKHB can turn off the switch transistor 101T controlled by the shunt control terminal 101C; if the switch transistor 101T is an N-type transistor, the enable signal CKHA can be understood as a high level signal, and the disable signal CKHB can be understood as a low level signal. In this embodiment, the shunt control signal CKH further includes at least one transition signal CKHC during at least one period of controlling the on and off of the switch transistor 101T, and the value of the transition signal CKHC is between the value of the enable signal CKHA and the value of the disable signal CKHB, that is, the transition signal CKHC can be understood as a transition signal between the high level signal and the low level signal of the shunt control signal CKH, and optionally, as shown in fig. 3, in the process of converting the disable signal CKHB to the enable signal CKHA, that is, during the period T1, in the process of converting the switch transistor 101T from the off state to the on state, at least one transition signal CKHC is included, so that when the shunt control signal CKH is converted from the disable signal CKHB to the enable signal CKHA, the transition signal CKHC is first switched, or the transition signal CKHC is prepared to convert the disable signal CKHB to the shunt signal CKHC close to the enable signal CKHA in advance, and then the transition signal CKHC is switched from the transition signal CKHC to the enable signal CKHC, which is favorable for further reducing the power consumption of the drive terminal during the process of converting the switch transistor 101T from the off state to the on state. Similarly, in the process of converting the enable signal CKHA into the disable signal CKHB, that is, in the process of converting the switching transistor 101T from the on state to the off state during T2, at least one transition signal CKHC is also included, so that when the shunt control signal CKH is converted from the enable signal CKHA to the disable signal CKHB, the shunt control signal CKH is first switched to the transition signal CKHC, and it can also be understood that the shunt control signal CKHA is prepared to be converted into the transition signal CKHC close to the disable signal CKHB in advance, and then switched from the transition signal CKHC to the required disable signal CKHB, which is beneficial to further reducing the driving power consumption of the shunt control terminal 101C in the process of converting the switching transistor 101T from the on state to the off state, thereby improving the duty ratio, realizing the narrow-frame design, and saving the power consumption of the entire display panel 000.
It can be understood that, in this embodiment, specific voltage values of the enable signal CKHA, the non-enable signal CKHB, and the transition signal CKHC included in the shunt control signal CKH are not specifically limited, and only a short transition signal CKHC process is required to be performed in the conversion process of the enable signal CKHA and the non-enable signal CKHB, and the value of the transition signal CKHC is located between the value of the enable signal CKHA and the value of the non-enable signal CKHB.
It should be noted that the display panel 000 provided in this embodiment may be an organic light emitting diode display panel, and the structure of the display panel is only exemplarily shown in the drawing of this embodiment, and in a specific implementation, the structure of the display panel 000 includes but is not limited to this, and may also include other structures capable of implementing a display function, which can be specifically understood with reference to the structure of the organic light emitting diode display panel in the related art, and this embodiment is not described herein again.
In some optional embodiments, please refer to fig. 4-6 in combination, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another plane structure of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a portion of a Q2 region in fig. 4, fig. 6 is a timing diagram of the shunt control signal in fig. 5, in this embodiment, the multiplexing unit 101 includes a signal input terminal 101A, M signal output terminals 101B, M shunt control terminals 101C, and M switching transistors 101T; wherein M is more than or equal to 6.
This embodiment explains that the multiplexing circuit 10 is provided in the non-display area NA, the multiplexing circuit 10 includes a plurality of multiplexing units 101, and the multiplexing units 101 can decompose one signal into at least 6 signal channels. That is, the multiplexing unit 101 includes a signal input terminal 101A, M signal output terminals 101B, M shunt control terminals 101C, and M switching transistors 101T; wherein M is more than or equal to 6. In this embodiment, the signal input terminal 101A is connected to a data voltage signal Vdata (optionally, the data voltage signal Vdata may be provided by a driving chip bound in the non-display area NA, not shown in the figure), and the signal output terminals 101B are electrically connected to the data lines S in a one-to-one correspondence manner, so that when the switching transistor 101T is turned on, the data voltage signal Vdata provided by one signal input terminal 101A included in each multiplexing unit 101 may be transmitted to at least 6 data lines S connected to at least 6 corresponding signal output terminals 101B, and then a data driving signal is provided to the sub-pixel P through the data line S, thereby achieving a light emitting display effect of the sub-pixel P. Because one signal input end 101A of each multiplexing unit 101 corresponds to at least 6 signal output ends 101B through at least 6 switching transistors 101T, the data voltage signal Vdata of one signal input end 101A can be decomposed into at least 6 signal channels, and simultaneously or time-divisionally transmitted to at least 6 data lines S in the display area AA, which is beneficial to further reducing the number of data signal transmission lines connected with the signal input end 101A in the non-display area NA, and further reducing the frame of the display panel 000, thereby realizing a narrower frame design.
It can be understood that, when a narrower frame is implemented, the multiplexing unit 101 of the multiplexing circuit 10 needs to decompose a signal into at least 6 signal channels, and further the number of the shunt control terminals 101C needs to be at least 6, and further when the multiplexing circuit 10 is driven to operate, the driving power consumption of the shunt control terminal 101C is further increased in the process of switching the switch transistor 101T from the off state to the on state, therefore, the shunt control signal CKH set in this embodiment includes at least one transition signal CKHC in the process of controlling at least one period of on and off of the switch transistor 101T, and the value of the transition signal CKHC is between the value of the enable signal CKHA and the value of the non-enable signal CKHB, so as to better reduce the power consumption in the design of the narrower frame, and further, when a narrower frame is implemented, full-screen display is implemented as much as possible, and the power consumption of the panel is saved.
It should be noted that, in the drawings in this embodiment, only the multiplexing unit 101 includes one signal input end 101A, 6 signal output ends 101B, 6 shunt control ends 101C, and 6 switching transistors 101T, that is, the multiplexing unit 101 decomposes a signal into at least 6 signal channels for example, in specific implementation, the multiplexing unit 101 may also be configured to decompose a signal into a structure with more signal channels, which is not described in detail herein in this embodiment.
In some alternative embodiments, please refer to fig. 4-6 and 7 in combination, fig. 7 is a timing diagram of a shunt control signal in fig. 6, in this embodiment, the shunt control signal CKH includes two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB, an interval time between the two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB is d, and a holding time of the enable signal CKHA between the two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB is b;
at least two transition signals CKHC are included between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB, and are respectively a first transition signal CKHC1 and a second transition signal CKHC2;
between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB, the sustain time of the first transition signal CKHC1 is a, the sustain time of the second transition signal CKHC2 is c, and d-b = a + c.
This embodiment explains that, during at least one period of the on and off control of the switching transistor 101T, the time interval between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB is d, that is, the time interval from one non-enable signal CKHB to the next is d, and optionally, the time unit of d may be in the order of microseconds, that is, the time interval between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB is very short in the shunt control signal CKH connected to the shunt control terminal 101C of the multiplexing unit 101. The sustain time of the enable signal CKHA between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB is b, and b is less than d. Since at least one transition signal CKHC is included in the process of converting the non-enable signal CKHB into the enable signal CKHA and at least one transition signal CKHC is included in the process of converting the enable signal CKHA into the non-enable signal CKHB, at least two transition signals CKHC are included between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB, and the at least two transition signals CKHC may be named as a first transition signal CKHC1 and a second transition signal CKHC2. If the holding time of the first transition signal CKHC1 is a and the holding time of the second transition signal CKHC2 is c between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB, d-b = a + c needs to be ensured, that is, the sum of the holding time a of the first transition signal CKHC1, the holding time c of the second transition signal CKHC2 and the holding time b of the enable signal CKHA is the interval time d of the two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB, so that the interval time d of the two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB can be ensured, the holding time of the transition signal CKHC is all times except the holding time of the enable signal CKHA, and the interval time of the two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB can be used as much as possible to set the transition signal CKHC while ensuring that the switching transistor 101T is fully turned on by enough holding time of the enable signal CKHA, thereby saving panel power consumption to the maximum extent.

The present embodiment is disposed between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB, the holding time a of the first transition signal CKHC1 is equal to the holding time c of the second transition signal CKHC2, so that the holding time a of the first transition signal CKHC1 is equal to the holding time c of the second transition signal CKHC2 as much as possible, and further, when the shunt control signal CKH is switched from the non-enable signal CKHB to the enable signal CKHA, the shunt control signal CKH is switched to the first transition signal CKHC1 first, or when the shunt control signal CKH is switched from the enable signal CKHA to the first transition signal CKHC1 close to the enable signal CKHA in advance, the shunt control signal CKH is switched to the second transition signal CKHC2 first, or when the shunt control signal CKH is switched from the enable signal CKHA to the non-enable signal CKHB, the shunt control signal CKH is switched to the second transition signal CKHC2 first, or when the shunt control signal CKH is switched from the enable signal CKHA to the non-enable signal CKHA to the enable signal CKHA in advance, the power consumption of the shunt control signal CKH is switched to the non-enable signal CKHC2, and the power consumption of the shunt control signal CKHC is also reduced from the second transition signal CKHC2 to the non-enable signal CKHC, so that the power consumption of the second transition signal CKHC is equalized, and the power consumption of the non-enable signal CKHC is also reduced.

Specifically, the total holding time of the transition signal CKHC between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB, i.e. the sum a + c of the holding time a of the first transition signal CKHC1 and the holding time c of the second transition signal CKH2 is less than or equal to
Figure BDA0003824191210000121
Where n is the number of scanning lines G included in the display panel 000, i.e., the number of rows of the sub-pixels P included in the display panel 000, and W/L is the width-to-length ratio of the channel region of the switching transistor 101T in the multiplexing unit 101. As shown in fig. 8, when the multiplexing circuit 10 including the multiplexing units 101 is fabricated on the substrate 00 of the display panel 000, the switching transistor 101T further includes a first gate 101TG, a first source 101TS, a first drain 101TD, and an active portion 101TP, and the channel region 101T0 of the switching transistor 101T is understood as the intersection of the first gate 101TG of the switching transistor 101T and the active portion 101TP of the switching transistor 101TIn the overlap region, the channel region 101T0 of the switching transistor 101T has a length L in the first direction X, the channel region 101T0 of the switching transistor 101T has a width W in the second direction Y, and the channel region of the switching transistor 101T has a width-to-length ratio W/L. The embodiment sets the time for maintaining the transition signal CKHC in the shunting control signal CKH according to the parameters of the size of the display panel 000, the number of rows of the sub-pixels P included in the display panel 000, and the size of the switching transistor 101T in the multiplexing unit 101, and ensures that the sum a + c of the time a for maintaining the first transition signal CKHC1 and the time c for maintaining the second transition signal CKH2 is less than or equal to
Figure BDA0003824191210000122
Within the range of (1), the problem that the power consumption of the panel cannot be effectively saved due to the fact that the data voltage signal Vdata cannot be sufficiently and accurately written into the sub-pixel P by the data line S because the time for maintaining the transition signal CKHC is too long and the time for maintaining the transition signal CKHC is not sufficient and the time for maintaining the enable signal CKHA between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB is not sufficient can be avoided. Therefore, in the embodiment, for the limitation of the sum of the time a for maintaining the first transition signal CKHC1 and the time c for maintaining the second transition signal CKH2, it is ensured that the time for maintaining the enable signal CKHA is sufficient, the data voltage signal Vdata can be accurately written into the sub-pixel P by the data line S with sufficient time, the display quality of the display panel is ensured, and the power consumption can be effectively saved, so that the balance between the display quality and the power consumption can be improved.
Optionally, since the multiplexing circuit 10 is connected to the data line S, the multiplexing circuit 10 needs to load the resistance of the data line S, and assuming that the resistance R of the data line S connected to one sub-pixel P is about 2 (Ω), the capacitance C is about 30 (fF), and the sub-pixels P in the display panel 000 are n rows, the total resistance R of the data line S corresponding to one column of sub-pixels P is 2n (Ω), and the total capacitance C is 30n (fF);
the on-resistance of the switching transistor 101T having a channel region width-to-length ratio W/L of 1 is about 2 × 10 5 (Ω) the switching transistor 101T has a size of W/L and a resistance of 2 × 10 5 (Ω) /(W/L), although the signal input terminal 101A of the multiplexing circuit 10 needs to be connected to the bonding pad through a data signal transmission line (i.e., a fan-out lead) to provide the data voltage signal Vdata, the length of the data signal transmission line is generally short, the resistance is small, and the resistance is small and negligible compared to the switching transistor 101T. Therefore, the total resistance of the switching transistor 101T and the data line S corresponding to a column of sub-pixels P is 2n +2 × 10 5 /(W/L) (Ω), total capacitance of 30n (fF), i.e., 30n × 10 -15 (F) .1. The The time constant is total resistance × total capacitance = [2n +2 × 10 ] when the column of sub-pixels P is charged through the multiplexing circuit 10 5 /(W/L)]×30n×10 -15
Since the multiplexing circuit 10 of this embodiment charges the sub-pixel P by the data line S, when the voltage on the data line S reaches 99% of the target voltage, the charging is sufficient, and the time constant corresponding to the time required is 5 times, that is, the time b required for maintaining the enable signal CKHA between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB at least satisfies:

Due to adjacent two negativesBetween the energy signals CKHB, the sum of the holding time a of the first transition signal CKHC1 and the holding time c of the second transition signal CKHC2 is a + c = d-b, then
Figure BDA0003824191210000141
Therefore, the sum of the maintaining time of the transition signal CKHC in the shunting control signal CKH can be properly set according to the number of the scanning lines G included in the display panel 000, that is, the number n of the rows of the sub-pixels P included in the display panel 000, and the width-to-length ratio W/L of the channel region of the switching transistor 101T in the multiplexing unit 101, so as to ensure that the maintaining time of the enable signal CKHA is sufficient, ensure that the data voltage signal Vdata can be accurately written into the sub-pixels P in sufficient time by the data line S, ensure the display quality of the display panel, and effectively save power consumption, and ensure the balance between the display quality and the power consumption.
In some alternative embodiments, please refer to fig. 4, fig. 5 and fig. 9 in combination, fig. 9 is another timing diagram of the shunting control signal in fig. 5, in which the embodiment includes at least two transition signals CKHC in the process of converting the non-enable signal CKHB into the enable signal CKHA, and the transition signals CKHC include a third transition signal CKHC3 and a fourth transition signal CKHC4;
the method comprises the steps that at least two transition signals CKHC are included in the process of converting an enable signal CKHA into a non-enable signal CKHB, and the transition signals CKHC5 and CKHC6 are respectively a fifth transition signal CKHC5 and a sixth transition signal CKHC6;
the value of the fourth transition signal CKHC4 is closer to the value of the enable signal CKHA than the value of the third transition signal CKH3, and the value of the sixth transition signal CKHC6 is closer to the value of the enable signal CKHA than the value of the fifth transition signal CKHC 5.
This embodiment explains that the shunt control signal CKH connected between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB, i.e. the shunt control terminal 101C of the multiplexing unit 101, includes four transition signals CKHC in the process from the cut-off of the control switch transistor 101T to the next cut-off, wherein the process of converting the non-enable signal CKHB into the enable signal CKHA may include two transition signals CKHC, and respectively include a third transition signal CKHC3 and a fourth transition signal CKHC4, and the process of converting the enable signal CKHA into the non-enable signal CKHB may include two transition signals CKHC, and respectively include a fifth transition signal CKHC5 and a sixth transition signal CKHC6, wherein the value of the fourth transition signal CKHC4 is closer to the value of the enable signal CKHA than the value of the third transition signal CKH3, i.e. the process of converting the non-enable signal CKHB into the enable signal CKHA, the non-enable signal CKHB is first switched into the third transition signal CKH3, then switched into the fourth transition signal CKH 4, and then switched into the enable signal CKHC; in the process of converting the enable signal CKHA into the disable signal CKHB, the enable signal CKHA is first switched to the sixth transition signal CKHC6, then to the fifth transition signal CKHC5, and finally to the disable signal CKHB. In this embodiment, when the non-enable signal CKHB and the enable signal CKHA are set to be switched, transition is performed through the plurality of transition signals CKHC with different values, so that the maintaining signal of the transition signal CKHC can be ensured to be long enough, power consumption is further saved, and meanwhile, switching between the non-enable signal CKHB and the enable signal CKHA can be more relaxed, thereby avoiding the problem of reducing display quality caused by abrupt change of signal switching.
In some alternative embodiments, please refer to fig. 4, fig. 5 and fig. 10 in combination, fig. 10 is another timing diagram of the shunting control signals in fig. 5, in this embodiment, between two adjacent non-enable signals CKHB:
the sustain time a1 of the fourth transition signal CKHC4 is greater than the sustain time a2 of the third transition signal CKHC3, and the sustain time c1 of the sixth transition signal CKHC6 is greater than the sustain time c2 of the fifth transition signal CKHC 5.
The present embodiment explains that when the shunt control signal CKH connected between two adjacent non-enabling signals CKHB, i.e. the shunt control terminal 101C of the multiplexing unit 101, includes at least four transition signals CKHC during the process from turning off of the control switch transistor 101T to turning off next, and the non-enabling signal CKH is converted into the enabling signal CKHA including at least two transition signals CKHC of the third transition signal CKHC3 and the fourth transition signal CKHC4, and the enabling signal CKHA is converted into the non-enabling signal CKHB including at least two transition signals CKHC of the fifth transition signal CKHC5 and the sixth transition signal CKHC6, the sustain time a1 of the fourth transition signal CKHC4 is greater than the sustain time a2 of the third transition signal CKHC3, the sustain time C1 of the sixth transition signal CKHC6 is greater than the sustain time C2 of the fifth transition signal CKHC5, i.e. the transition signal CKHC is closer to the enable signal CKHA (the on-voltage of the control switch transistor 101T), and the transition signal CKHC6 is closer to the on-data signal CKHA, the data signal CKHA can be switched to the enable signal CKHA 4 when the transition signal CKHC is switched to the data signal CKHA, and the data signal CKHA 6, the data of the data switch is switched to the data signal CKHA 4, therefore, the charging time of the data line S can be approximately understood when the shunt control signal CKH is the sixth transition signal CKHC6 or the fourth transition signal CKHC4, so that the power consumption can be saved, the charging time can be further ensured, and the display quality can be improved.
It is understood that when the shunt control signal CKH in this embodiment is the sixth transition signal CKHC6 or the fourth transition signal CKHC4, it can be understood that the switching transistor 101T is already close to or approximately in the on state, although the on current may be only slightly smaller, but it still has the effect of charging the data line S with the data voltage signal Vdata during this time period.
In some alternative embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 4, 5 and 10, in the present embodiment, the value of the transition signal CKHC is not equal to Vdata- | Vth |, where Vdata is the data voltage signal and | Vth | is the threshold voltage of the switching transistor 101T.
This embodiment explains that, in the shunt control signal CKH accessed by the shunt control terminal 101C of the multiplexing circuit 10, the value of the transient signal CKH for saving panel power consumption that can be set can avoid Vdata- | Vth |, that is, the value of the transient signal CKHC is not equal to the difference between the data voltage signal Vdata and the threshold voltage | Vth | of the switching transistor 101T, so as to avoid that when the value of the transient signal CKH is equal to Vdata- | Vth |, the switching transistor 101T is in a critical on state, so that some switching transistors 101T in the multiplexing circuit 10 are turned on, and some switching transistors 101T are turned off, resulting in the difference of charging effects. Therefore, the value of the transition signal CKHC is not equal to Vdata- | Vth | in this embodiment, so that the charging uniformity of each multiplexing unit 101 can be ensured in the conversion process between the non-enable signal CKHB and the enable signal CKHA, the charging time on each data line S is further equalized as much as possible, and the display uniformity of different display panels 000 is improved.

The multiplexing circuit comprises a plurality of multiplexing units, namely multiplexers, and is used for decomposing a data voltage signal of a signal input end into a plurality of signal channels and transmitting the signal channels to a plurality of data lines in the display area simultaneously or in a time-sharing manner, so that the number of data signal transmission lines connected with the signal input end in the non-display area is favorably reduced, the layout space of the non-display area is favorably reduced, the frame of the display panel is reduced, and the narrow-frame design is realized. In the display panel of the invention, the shunt control signal connected to the shunt control terminal is further provided to include not only the enable signal and the disable signal, but also at least one transition signal during at least one period of controlling the on and off of the switching transistor, wherein a value of the transition signal is between a value of the enable signal and a value of the disable signal, that is, the transition signal can be understood as a transition signal between a high level signal and a low level signal of the shunt control signal, so that when the shunt control signal is switched from the disable signal to the enable signal, switching to the transition signal is performed first, or preparing to convert the disable signal to a transition signal close to the enable signal in advance, and then switching from the transition signal to a required enable signal is performed, which is beneficial to further reducing the driving power consumption of the shunt control terminal during the switching transistor is switched from the off state to the on state. Similarly, in the process of converting the enable signal into the disable signal, when the shunt control signal is switched from the enable signal to the disable signal, the shunt control signal is switched to the transition signal first, and it can also be understood that the shunt control signal is prepared to be a transition signal which is close to the disable signal in advance, and then the shunt control signal is switched to the required disable signal from the transition signal, which is beneficial to further reducing the driving power consumption of the shunt control end in the process of converting the switch transistor from the on state to the off state, so that the screen occupation ratio can be improved, and when the narrow-frame design is realized, the power consumption of the whole display panel can be saved.
