Description

显示面板的驱动电路及其驱动方法 技术领域
本发明涉及显示面板技术领域,特别涉及一种显示面板的驱动电路及其驱动方法。
背景技术
传统的显示面板一般采用窄边框设计的技术方案。
传统的窄边框设计的技术方案一般采用多层金属走线或GOA(Gate driver On Array)二种技术来实现,然而,上述多层金属走线的技术方案并不能显著地实现窄边框,相反,其会增加面板短路的几率,使得良率下降以及成本上升。上述GOA的技术方案可以显著地实现窄边框,且能省去栅极芯片(Gate IC)的成本。
目前,传统的GOA电路包含:输入部分,输出部分,复位部分,保持部分。其中,输出部分中的TFT(Thin Film Transistor)的宽长比很大,如,例如,其达到180u/5u,1u=1微米;复位部分的TFT的宽长比次之,例如,其可达到30u/5u。
在实践中,发明人发现现有技术至少存在以下问题:
由于TFT的漏电流会随着宽长比的增加而增加,所以复位部分的TFT的宽长比不能很大(远达不到输出部分的TFT的宽长比),所以整个GOA电路的复位拉力小于输出推力,从而导致输出信号的复位沿时延较大。目前,没有技术把输出部分TFT和复位部分TFT整合使用。使得复位TFT也需要较大的宽长比,增加复位TFT的漏电,增加整个GOA面积,且输出信号的复位沿的时延还较大。
目前,在输出信号的输出阶段,复位部分的TFT处于关闭状态,但由于TFT制程原因,TFT中不可避免的含有寄生电容Cgs/Cgd,输出信号在复位部分的TFT的漏极(Drain)端输出,输出信号的突变不可避免地会通过寄生Cgs/Cgd耦合到复位部分的TFT的栅极(Gate)端,结果导致复位部分的TFT不能稳定地关闭,因此输出信号会有部分电压损失。
故,有必要提出一种新的技术方案,以解决上述技术问题。

在本实施例中,所述第七薄膜晶体管119用于在第二时间段302中关闭,以阻止所述第三电源信号经所述第九源极1192和所述第九漏极1193输出至所述第四源极1142。
其中,所述第一时间段301和所述第二时间段302是相邻的两个时间段,所述第一时间段301位于所述第二时间段302之前,即,所述第二时间段302为与所述第一时间段301的相邻的下一个时间段。
在所述第一薄膜晶体管111、所述第二薄膜晶体管112、所述第三薄膜晶体管113、所述第四薄膜晶体管114、所述第五薄膜晶体管115、所述输出薄膜晶体管117、所述复位薄膜晶体管116、所述第六薄膜晶体管118、所述第七薄膜晶体管119均为P型三极管的情况下,在所述第二时间段302中,所述第一控制信号N-1为高电平信号,所述第二控制信号CK为高电平信号,所述第三控制信号3CK为低电平信号,所述第四控制信号XCK为高电平信号,所述第五控制信号3-2CK为高电平信号。在所述第一薄膜晶体管111、所述第二薄膜晶体管112、所述第三薄膜晶体管113、所述第四薄膜晶体管114、所述第五薄膜晶体管115、所述输出薄膜晶体管117、所述复位薄膜晶体管116、所述第六薄膜晶体管118、所述第七薄膜晶体管119均为N型三极管的情况下,在所述第二时间段302中,所述第一控制信号N-1为低电平信号,所述第二控制信号CK为低电平信号,所述第三控制信号3CK为高电平信号,所述第四控制信号XCK为低电平信号,所述第五控制信号3-2CK为低电平信号。
在本实施例中,所述第七薄膜晶体管119和所述第四薄膜晶体管114还用于在第二时间段302中共同作用,以阻止所述第四漏极1143和所述第二漏极1123之间的连接线中的第二信号复位。
在本实施例中,所述输出薄膜晶体管117还用于在所述第二时间段302中开启,以与所述复位薄膜晶体管116共同对所述信号输出线141中的第一信号进行复位。
在本实施例中,由于所述输出薄膜晶体管117的第一宽长比较大,电流能力很强,因此可以协助所述复位薄膜晶体管116迅速地对所述信号输出线141中的输出信号进行复位,使得所述输出信号的复位沿时延变小。同时,由于所述输出薄膜晶体管117的电流能力较大,所述复位薄膜晶体管116的宽长比可以缩减为10微米/5微米,减小了所述复位薄膜晶体管116的漏电,从而减小整个GOA(Gate driver On Array)的面积。
如图5所示,改进前的输出信号501的复位沿5011时延为1.48u,改进后的输出信号502的复位沿5021时延为0.9u,其中1u为1微米,复位沿时延的减小率为(1.48-0.9)/1.48≈39.19%。其中,图5中所示的复位沿5011和5021均为上升沿(针对P型三极管的情况),当然,所述复位沿5011和5021还可以为下降沿(针对N型三极管的情况)。
参考图6,图6为本发明的显示面板的驱动方法的第一实施例的流程图。本实施例的驱动方法实施于图1或图2中的显示面板的驱动电路中。
本实施例的驱动方法包括以下步骤:
步骤601,所述第六薄膜晶体管118接收所述信号输出线141中的第一信号。
步骤602,所述第六薄膜晶体管118根据所述第一信号在所述第一时间段301中开启,以使所述第五电源信号经所述第八源极1182和所述第八漏极1183输出至所述第六栅极1161,其中,所述第五电源信号用于所述第一时间段301中关闭所述复位薄膜晶体管116。
步骤603,所述复位薄膜晶体管116在所述第一时间段301中根据所述第五电源信号关闭。
在本实施例中,通过在所述第一时间段301(所述输出信号线的信号输出阶段),利用所述信号线输出中的信号来触发所述第六薄膜晶体管118关闭,使得所述第五电源信号输出至所述第六栅极1161中,从而使得所述复位薄膜晶体管116在所述第一时间段301中关闭,避免了所述信号输出线141漏电,以及避免了所述第四漏极1143和所述第二漏极1123之间连接线漏电,从而使得所述信号输出线141稳定地输出所要输出的信号。此外,上述技术方案还有利于减小所述信号输出线141所输出的信号的复位沿时延。
假设所述信号输出线141中的目标输出信号为-7V(伏特),改进前的输出信号401为-6.99V,经过实验验证,改进后的输出信号402为-6.9999V。因此,上述技术方案可使得所述信号输出线141中的输出信号更加接近目标值。
参考图7,图7为本发明的显示面板的驱动方法的第二实施例的流程图。本实施例与上述第一实施例相似,不同之处在于:
在本实施例中,所述方法还包括以下步骤:
步骤701,所述第七薄膜晶体管119在第二时间段302中关闭,以阻止所述第三电源信号经所述第九源极1192和所述第九漏极1193输出至所述第四源极1142。
步骤702,所述第七薄膜晶体管119和所述第四薄膜晶体管114在第二时间段302中共同作用,以阻止所述第四漏极1143和所述第二漏极1123之间的连接线中的第二信号复位。
步骤703,所述输出薄膜晶体管117在所述第二时间段302中开启,以与所述复位薄膜晶体管116共同对所述信号输出线141中的第一信号进行复位。
在本实施例中,由于所述输出薄膜晶体管117的第一宽长比较大,电流能力很强,因此可以协助所述复位薄膜晶体管116迅速地对所述信号输出线141中的输出信号进行复位,使得所述输出信号的复位沿时延变小。同时,由于所述输出薄膜晶体管117的电流能力较大,所述复位薄膜晶体管116的宽长比可以缩减为10微米/5微米,减小了所述复位薄膜晶体管116的漏电,从而减小整个GOA(Gate driver On Array)的面积。
如图5所示,改进前的输出信号501的复位沿5011时延为1.48u,改进后的输出信号502的复位沿5021时延为0.9u,其中1u为1微米,复位沿时延的减小率为(1.48-0.9)/1.48≈39.19%。其中,图5中所示的复位沿5011和5021均为上升沿(针对P型三极管的情况),当然,所述复位沿5011和5021还可以为下降沿(针对N型三极管的情况)。
综上所述,虽然本发明已以优选实施例揭露如上,但上述优选实施例并非用以限制本发明,本领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围以权利要求界定的范围为准。
