下面参照附图来描述根据本公开实施例提供的移位寄存器、栅极驱动电路以及移位寄存器的驱动控制方法。
图1是根据本公开一个实施例的移位寄存器的方框示意图。如图1所示,本公开实施例的移位寄存器可包括:栅极信号生成电路10、栅极信号输出控制电路20和控制电路30。
根据本公开实施例,栅极信号生成电路10配置为生成针对像素电路中驱动晶体管的第一栅极信号。驱动晶体管可以包括串联的第一驱动晶体管和第二驱动晶体管。栅极信号生成电路10的输出端与第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A和第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B电连接。
栅极信号输出控制电路20具有提供第一电平信号的第一电平信号输入端GCH。栅 极信号输出控制电路20连接至栅极信号生成电路10和驱动晶体管,被构造成在第一电平信号的控制下,将栅极信号生成电路10的输出端与第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A和第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B导通。
控制电路30具有提供第二电平信号的第二电平信号输入端GCL、提供第一控制信号的第一控制信号输入端CNA和提供第二控制信号的第二控制信号输入端CNB。控制电路30被构造成在第二电平信号的控制下将第一控制信号输出至第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A,并将第二控制信号输出至第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B。
在一个像素电路中,通常设置有一个驱动晶体管。在1帧画面显示的过程中,当需要开启某一行像素电路时,直接输出第一栅极信号至该行像素电路的驱动晶体管的栅极,以使驱动晶体管导通,当不需要开启该行像素电路时,驱动晶体管处于关断状态。由于在1帧画面的显示时间内驱动晶体管长时间处于关断状态,由于高温、光照等负向偏置,使得驱动晶体管长时间处于负向偏压状态,因而容易造成驱动晶体管的漏电增大的问题。
为此,在本公开的实施例中,将像素电路中的单个驱动晶体管替换为两个串联连接的驱动晶体管(可简称双栅驱动晶体管),并在画面显示的过程中,将一帧显示时间划分为两个阶段,分别为第一阶段和第二阶段。其中,在第一阶段,逐行将第一栅极信号输出至每行像素电路中两个驱动晶体管的栅极,以使两个驱动晶体管同时导通,整个驱动晶体管完全导通。由于在第一阶段中像素电路充电,也可以将该第一阶段称为“充电阶段”。在第二阶段,同时将第二栅极信号和第三栅极信号分别施加至每个像素电路的两个驱动晶体管的栅极,以使两个驱动晶体管依次导通,其中第二栅极信号和第三栅极信号交替具有有效电平。由此,可防止直流偏压问题。尤其是在低刷新频率下,能够缓解因驱动晶体管长时间负向偏压造成的漏电增大的问题。根据本公开实施例,术语“有效电平”是指能够使晶体管导通的电平。例如,对于N型晶体管,有效电平为相对高电平,对于P型晶体管,有效电平为相对低电平。
图2a是根据本公开一个实施例的像素单元的结构示意图,图2b是根据本公开一个示例的像素电路的内部结构示意图。如图2a和图2b所示,根据本公开实施例,第一驱动晶体管Ta的第一极与数据线Data1电连接,第二驱动晶体管Tb的第一极与第一驱动晶体管Ta的第二极电连接,第二驱动晶体管Tb的第二极与公共电极Vcom电连接,第一驱动晶体管Ta的栅极G1-A和第二驱动晶体管Tb的栅极G1-B分别与栅极信号生成电路10的输出端电连接。
图3是根据本公开一个实施例的一帧显示时间内驱动晶体管的栅极信号的波形示意 图。如图3所示,在1帧显示时间内(如1s,即刷新频率为1Hz),在第一阶段,对像素单元进行逐行扫描,并且施加到一行中每个像素单元的两个驱动晶体管的栅极信号相同,即,第一栅极信号,由此这两个驱动晶体管同时导通,该像素单元充电。在第二阶段,同时施加到每行像素单元的每个像素单元的两个驱动晶体管的第二栅极信号和第三栅极信号交替为有效电平,使得这两个驱动晶体管交替导通,由此避免整个驱动晶体管长时间处于关断状态。
例如,参考图1、图2和图3,在1帧显示时间内,在第一阶段,对像素单元进行逐行扫描。当第一行像素单元对应的栅极信号生成电路10接收到输入信号时,该栅极信号生成电路10生成针对该行像素单元中驱动晶体管的第一栅极信号。在第一电平信号的控制下,栅极信号输出控制电路20,使得栅极信号生成电路10的输出端与第一行像素单元中每个第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A和第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B同时导通。即,将两个相同的栅极信号并输出至第一行像素单元中每个驱动晶体管的栅极,此时第一行像素单元中的每个驱动晶体管均完全导通,该行像素单元充电。然后对第二行像素单元进行扫描,…,如此直至扫描至最后一行。
然后进入第二阶段。在第二阶段,在第一电平信号的控制下,栅极信号输出控制电路20停止输出。栅极信号生成电路10的输出端与第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A、第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B均断开。在第二电平信号、第一控制信号和第二控制信号的控制下,控制电路30输出交替为有效电平的第二栅极信号和第三栅极信号至所有像素单元行中每个像素单元中第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A和第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B,使得每行像素单元中的每个驱动晶体管的第一驱动晶体管和第二驱动晶体管交替导通,从而防止像素单元中的驱动晶体管长时间处于关断状态。需要说明的是,在第二阶段,所有像素单元行中对应像素单元行的控制电路30同时输出交替为有效电平的第二栅极信号和第三栅极信号至相应行像素单元中两个驱动晶体管的栅极,如图3所示。可以将第二阶段称为“抵制偏压阶段”。
如图3所示,第一栅极信号可以为低频信号,第二栅极信号和第三栅极信号为高频信号。其中,低频信号的频率与画面显示的刷新频率相同,例如当刷新频率为1Hz时,低频信号的频率为1Hz,而高频信号的频率相对较高,例如,可以为10Hz~60Hz。
由此,通过将像素单元中的驱动晶体管设置为两个串联的驱动晶体管,并在一帧画面显示的时间内增加第二阶段,以及在第二阶段控制这两个驱动晶体管的不断交替导通,从而可以减小驱动晶体管的漏电。
下面对栅极信号输出控制电路20和控制电路30做进一步说明。
图4是根据本公开一个实施例的移位寄存器的结构图。如图4所示,根据本公开的一个实施例的栅极信号输出控制电路20可包括第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2。第一晶体管M1的控制极和第二晶体管M2的控制极与第一电平信号输入端GCH电连接,第一晶体管M1的第一极和第二晶体管M2的第一极与栅极信号生成电路10的输出端电连接,第一晶体管M1的第二极与第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A电连接,第二晶体管M2的第二极与第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B电连接。
控制电路30可包括第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4。第三晶体管M3的控制极和第四晶体管M4的控制极与第二电平信号输入端GCL电连接,第三晶体管M3的第一极与第一控制信号输入端CNA电连接,第三晶体管M3的第二极与第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A电连接,第四晶体管M4的第一极与第二控制信号输入端CNB电连接,第四晶体管M4的第二极与第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B电连接。
图5是根据本公开一个实施例的一帧时间内移位寄存器的输入信号的波形图。如图5所示,在第一阶段,第一电平信号和第二电平信号均为直流信号,且第一电平信号为高电平信号。在第二阶段,第一电平信号和第二电平信号均为交流信号,并且第一控制信号和第二控制信号交替为有效电平,且在第一控制信号和第二控制信号之一为高电平信号时,第二电平信号为高电平信号。
参考图3至图5,在第一阶段,栅极信号生成电路10输出第一栅极信号,第一电平信号输入端GCH输出高电平信号至第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2,第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2导通。栅极信号生成电路10输出的第一栅极信号通过第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2输入至第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A和第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B,此时第一驱动晶体管和第二驱动晶体管同时导通,整个驱动晶体管完全导通,像素单元充电。由于第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2同时导通,因而可以实现同时输出两个时序完全相同的栅极信号。
在第二阶段,第一电平信号输入端GCH输出低电平信号至第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2,以使栅极信号生成电路10与第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A和第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B断开。同时,第二电平信号输入端GCL输出高电平信号至第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4,第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4导通,在第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4导通期间,第一控制信号输入端CNA输出第二栅极信号(如高电平)至第三晶体管M3。同时第二控制信号输入端CNB输出低电平至第四晶体管M4,此时只有第一驱动晶体管导通,然后第二控制信号输入端CNB输出第三栅极信号(如高电平)至第四晶体管M4,同时第一控制信号输入端CNA输出低电平至第三晶体管M3,此时 只有第二驱动晶体管导通。一段时间后,再控制第一驱动晶体管导通,…,如此循环。栅极信号输出控制电路和控制电路的结构都比较简单,占用空间小,对于功耗要求高、尺寸小的穿戴式设备(如手环)而言,能够保证超低功耗要求。
下面对栅极信号生成电路10做进一步说明。
图6a是根据本公开另一个实施例的移位寄存器的结构图。如图6a所示,栅极信号生成电路10可包括输入端Input、复位端Reset、时钟信号端CLKA、CLKB和输出端OUT,以及输入子电路11、输出子电路12、第一上拉子电路13和第一下拉子电路14。输入子电路11配置为在输入端Input提供的输入信号的控制下生成上拉节点PU的电位,并在复位端Reset提供的复位信号的控制下下拉上拉节点PU的电位。输出子电路12配置为在上拉节点PU的电位为高电位时输出第一栅极信号。第一上拉子电路13配置为在时钟信号端CLKB提供的时钟信号的控制下生成下拉节点Pd的电位。第一下拉子电路14配置为在上拉节点PU的电位的控制下下拉下拉节点Pd的电位,并在下拉节点Pd的电位的控制下下拉上拉节点PU的电位。
其中,上拉是指使相应电路节点处的电平上升,下拉是指使相应电路节点处的电平下降。
如图6a所示,当需要上拉节点PU和栅极信号生成电路10的输出端OUTPUT为低电平时,第一上拉子电路13利用时钟信号端CLKB的时钟信号周期性上拉下拉节点Pd处的电位,使得下拉节点Pd处为高电平。由此,第一下拉子电路14可以在下拉节点Pd处为高电平时下拉上拉节点PU处的电位,使得上拉节点PU一直维持在低电平。
当输入端Input接收到行扫描信号时,输入子电路11将上拉节点PU处的电位上拉。此时输出子电路12可以在上拉节点PU处的高电平控制下上拉输出端OUTPUT处的电位,使得输出端OUTPUT所输出的信号为高电平,由此输出驱动晶体管的第一栅极信号。
当复位端Reset接收到复位信号时,输入子电路11将上拉节点PU处的电位下拉。此时第一上拉子电路13和第一下拉子电路14下拉上拉节点PU处的电位,使得上拉节点PU处的电位保持低电平。
如图6a和图6b所示,输入子电路11可包括第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6。第五晶体管M5的控制极与输入端Input电连接,第五晶体管M5的第一极与输入端Input/正向扫描信号输入端VDS电连接。第六晶体管M6的控制极与复位端Reset电连接,第六晶体管M6的第一极与复位端Reset/反向扫描信号输入端VSD电连接,第六晶体管M6的第二极与第五晶体管M5的第二极相连后与上拉节点PU电连接。
如图6a所示,当输入端Input接收到输入信号时,在输入信号的高电平的控制下,第五晶体管M5导通,此时上拉节点PU处的电位被上拉至高电平。当复位端Reset接收到复位信号时,在复位信号的高电平的控制下,第六晶体管M6导通,此时上拉节点PU处的电位被下拉至低电平。由此,通过第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6能够实现在输入端Input提供的输入信号的控制下生成上拉节点PU的电位,并在复位端Reset提供的复位信号的控制下下拉上拉节点PU的电位。
如图6b所示,当第五晶体管M5的第一极与正向扫描信号输入端VDS电连接,同时第六晶体管M6的第一极与反向扫描信号输入端VSD电连接时,还可以实现像素电路的正扫和反扫。其中,当正向扫描信号输入端VDS接收到有效电平如高电平,且反向扫描信号输入端VSD接收到相反的电平时,实现像素电路的正扫。当反向扫描信号输入端VSD接收到有效电平如高电平,且正向扫描信号输入端VDS接收到相反的电平时,实现像素电路的反扫。
如图6a和图6b所示,输出子电路12可包括第一电容C和第七晶体管M7。第一电容C的第一端与上拉节点PU电连接,第一电容C的第二端作为栅极信号生成电路10的输出端OUTPUT。第七晶体管M7的控制极与上拉节点PU电连接,第七晶体管M7的第一极与第一时钟信号端CLKA电连接,第七晶体管M7的第二极与第一电容C的第二端电连接。
在上拉节点PU处为高电平并且第一电容C的两端具有电位差的状态下存储有一定量的电荷时,第一时钟信号端CLKA上的电位由低电平转为高电平就会使得输出端OUTPUT处的电位被来自第一时钟信号端CLKA的电流上拉,而在第一电容C的控制下,上拉节点PU处的电位也会被进一步抬升,从而加快输出端OUTPUT被上拉的速度,实现驱动晶体管的第一栅极信号的输出。
如图6a和图6b所示,第一上拉子电路13可包括第八晶体管M8和第九晶体管M9。第八晶体管M8的控制极与第八晶体管M8的第一极和第二时钟信号端CLKB电连接。第九晶体管M9的控制极与第八晶体管M8的第二极电连接,第九晶体管M9的第一极与第二时钟信号端CLKB电连接,第九晶体管M9的第二极与下拉节点Pd电连接。
第一下拉子电路14可包括:第十晶体管M10、第十一晶体管M11和第十二晶体管M12。第十晶体管M10的控制极与下拉节点Pd电连接,第十晶体管M10的第一极与上拉节点PU电连接,第十晶体管M10的第二极与低电平电压线VGL电连接。第十一晶体管M11的控制极与上拉节点PU电连接,第十一晶体管M11的第一极与第八晶体管M8的第二极电连接,第十一晶体管M11的第二极与低电平电压线VGL电连接。第十 二晶体管M12的控制极与上拉节点PU电连接,第十二晶体管M12的第一极与下拉节点Pd电连接,第十二晶体管M12的第二极与低电平电压线VGL电连接。
。当第二时钟信号端CLKB为有效电平如高电平时,第八晶体管M8和第九晶体管M9均导通,此时下拉节点Pd被上拉至高电平,而在第二时钟信号端CLKB为低电平时,第八晶体管M8和第九晶体管M9关断,从而中断对下拉节点Pd的上拉。随着第二时钟信号端CLKB在高电平与低电平之间的变换,可以实现对下拉节点Pd的电位的周期性上拉。。在下拉节点Pd处为高电平时,第十晶体管M10导通,在低电平电压线VGL的控制下,上拉节点PU被下拉至低电平。另外,当上拉节点PU处为高电平时,第十一晶体管M11和第十二晶体管M12均导通,此时在低电平电压线VGL的控制下,下拉节点Pd被下拉至低电平,第九晶体管M9的控制极被下拉至低电平。从而实现对各电路节点处的上拉和下拉功能。
图7是图6a所示的栅极信号生成电路的时序图。另外,需要说明的是,图6a和图6b所示的栅极信号生成电路的电路结构仅是本公开的具体示例,在本公开的实施例中还可以采用其它电路结构。也就是说,可以将本公开的栅极信号输出控制电路和控制电路用于各种移位寄存器中。也可以通过对栅极信号输出控制电路和控制电路进行简单变形,以在能够实现第一阶段输出两个相同的第一栅极信号和第二阶段输出交替具有有效电平的第二栅极信号和第三栅极信号即可。
图8是根据本公开又一个实施例的移位寄存器的结构图,图9是图8所示的移位寄存器的工作时序图。如图8所示,移位寄存器还可包括第二下拉子电路40,第二下拉子电路40与驱动晶体管与下拉节点Pd电连接,配置为在下拉节点Pd的电位的控制下下拉输出至第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A和第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B的电压。
如图8所示,第二下拉子电路40可包括第十三晶体管M13和第十四晶体管M14。第十三晶体管M13的控制极和第十四晶体管M14的控制极与下拉节点Pd电连接,第十三晶体管M13的第一极与第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A电连接。第十四晶体管M14的第一极与第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B电连接,第十三晶体管M13的第二极和第十四晶体管M14的第二极分别与低电平电压线VGL电连接。
当下拉节点Pd处为高电平时,第十三晶体管M13和第十四晶体管M14导通,此时在低电平电压线VGL的控制下,使得第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A和第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B始终保持在低电平。
另外,如图8所示,第一上拉子电路13的时钟信号端与第一电平信号输入端GCH电连接,从而可以减少信号线的使用。
图9是图8所示的移位寄存器的时序图。参考图8和图9,当正向扫描信号输入端VDS为高电平,并且反向扫描信号输入端VSD为低电平时,为正向扫描。可以将图9中的时钟信号CLK1施加到图8所示移位寄存器的CLKA端,将时钟信号CLK2~CLK4依次分别施加到与图8所示移位寄存器级联的其他移位寄存器的CLKA端。
在正向扫描的过程中,在1帧画面显示时间内,在第一阶段,栅极信号生成电路10根据输入信号输出第一栅极信号至输出端OUTPUT。由于第一电平信号GCH为高电平,第二电平信号GCL为低电平,第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2导通。此时输出端OUTPUT的第一栅极信号分别通过第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2输出至第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A和第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B,以使第一驱动晶体管和第二驱动晶体管同时导通,整个驱动晶体管完全导通,像素单元充电。
在第二阶段,栅极信号生成电路10的输出端OUTPUT为低电平,但是此时第一电平信号GCH和第二电平信号GCL为交流信号,并且第一控制信号CNA和第二控制信号CNB输出的信号为有效电平相互交替的信号。因此,当第二电平信号GCL为高电平且第一电平信号GCH为低电平,以及第一控制信号CNA为高电平且第二控制信号CNB为低电平时,第一驱动晶体管导通。当第二电平信号GCL为高电平且第一电平信号GCH为低电平,以及第二控制信号CNB为高电平且第二控制信号CNA为低电平时,第二驱动晶体管导通。如此交替,使得第一驱动晶体管和第二驱动晶体管交替导通从而有效减小驱动晶体管因长时间处于负压状态导致的漏电问题。
综上所述,根据本公开实施例的移位寄存器,通过栅极信号生成电路生成像素单元中驱动晶体管的第一栅极信号,其中驱动晶体管包括串联的第一驱动晶体管和第二驱动晶体管。栅极信号输出控制电路在第一电平信号的控制下,控制栅极信号生成电路的输出端与第一驱动晶体管的栅极、第二驱动晶体管的栅极导通,以及控制电路在根据第二电平信号的控制下将第一控制信号输出至第一驱动晶体管的栅极,并将第二控制信号输出至第二驱动晶体管的栅极。该移位寄存器能够有效减小驱动晶体管的漏电。
另外,本公开的实施例还提供了一种栅极驱动电路,其包括多个级联的上述移位寄存器。
图10是根据本公开实施例的移位寄存器的驱动控制方法的流程图。移位寄存器的具体结构前面已经详述,这里不再赘述。如图10所示,本公开实施例的移位寄存器的驱动控制方法100可包括以下步骤。
在步骤S101,向第一驱动晶体管的栅极和第二驱动晶体管的栅极施加第一栅极信号,以使第一驱动晶体管和第二驱动晶体管同时导通。
在步骤S102,向第一驱动晶体管的栅极施加第二栅极信号,向第二驱动晶体管的栅极施加第三栅极信号,以使第一驱动晶体管和第二驱动晶体管交替导通,其中第二栅极信号和第三栅极信号交替为有效电平。
在本公开的实施例中,在画面显示的过程中,将一帧显示时间分为两个阶段,分别为第一阶段和第二阶段。其中,在第一阶段,将第一栅极信号输出至两个驱动晶体管的栅极,即,将两个相同的栅极信号施加至两个驱动晶体管的栅极,以使两个驱动晶体管同时导通,整个驱动晶体管完全导通,像素单元充电。在第二阶段,将交替为有效电平(如高电平)的第二栅极信号和第三栅极信号分别施加至两个驱动晶体管的栅极,以使两个驱动晶体管交替导通,由此可防止直流偏压问题。尤其是在低刷新频率下,能够缓解因驱动晶体管长时间负向偏压造成的漏电增大。
根据本公开的一个实施例,第二电平信号与第一电平信号的相位相反。
在充电阶段,第一电平信号输入端的电平信号和第二电平信号输入端的电平信号均为直流信号;在抵制偏压阶段,第一电平信号输入端的电平信号和第二电平信号输入端的电平信号均为交流信号。
根据本公开的一个实施例,第一控制信号和第二控制信号的有效电平相互错开。
进一步地,在第一阶段,第一电平信号为高电平信号。在第二阶段,当第一控制信号和第二控制信号之一为有效电平时,第二电平信号为高电平信号。
以图4所示的移位寄存器为例。如图3-图5所示,在第一阶段,栅极信号生成电路10根据输入信号输出第一栅极信号,第一电平信号输入端GCH输出高电平的第一电平信号至第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2,使得第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2导通,栅极信号生成电路10输出的第一栅极信号通过第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2分别输入至第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A和第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B,此时第一驱动晶体管和第二驱动晶体管同时导通,整个驱动晶体管完全导通,像素单元充电。由于第一晶体管和第二晶体管同时导通,因而可以实现同时输出两个时序完全相同的栅极信号。
在第二阶段,第一电平信号输入端GCH输出低电平的第一电平信号至第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2,以使栅极信号生成电路10与第一驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-A和第二驱动晶体管的栅极Gn-B断开。第二电平信号输入端GCL输出高电平的第二电平信号至第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4,第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4导通。在第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4导通期间,第一控制信号输入端CNA输出第二栅极信号(如高电平)至第三晶体管M3,同时第二控制信号输入端CNB输出低电平的第三栅极信号至第四晶体管M4,此时只有第一驱动晶体管导通。然后第二控制信号输入端CNB输出 第二栅极信号(如高电平)至第四晶体管M4,同时第一控制信号输入端CNA输出低电平的第三栅极信号至第三晶体管M3,此时只有第二驱动晶体管导通。一段时间后,再控制第一驱动晶体管导通,…,如此循环。
另外,需要说明的是,本公开实施例的移位寄存器的驱动控制方法中未披露的细节,请参照本公开实施例的移位寄存器中所披露的细节,具体这里不再赘述。
尽管上面已经示出和描述了本公开的实施例,可以理解的是,上述实施例是示例性的,不能理解为对本公开的限制。本领域的普通技术人员在本公开的范围内可以对上述实施例进行变化、修改、替换和变型。
