Description

栅极驱动单元电路、栅极驱动电路和显示装置 技术领域
本发明涉及液晶显示领域,尤其涉及一种栅极驱动单元电路、栅极驱动电路和显示装置。
背景技术
集成的栅极扫描驱动电路(Gate Driver Monolithic,GDM)是一种利用现有的薄膜晶体管阵列基板制造工艺,将栅极扫描驱动电路直接构建在阵列基板上的技术,具有降低成本、减少工艺流程、减小面板边框宽度的作用。随着产品和技术的发展,平板显示器对栅极扫描驱动电路的要求越来越高,其中之一就是要求同时具有正向扫描和反向扫描的功能。
图1所示是一种具有正反扫功能的栅极驱动单元电路的电路示意图,该栅极驱动单元电路包括控制正反扫的上拉控制模块1、上拉模块2、维持控制节点产生模块4、上拉控制节点维持模块5、输出节点维持模块6、清空模块7、辅助维持模块8以及自举电容C1。其中上拉控制模块1和维持控制节点产生模块4均同时被前级和后级栅极驱动单元电路中信号所控制,具有对称性,上拉控制模块1中的薄膜晶体管M1与M9对称,维持控制节点产生模块4中的薄膜晶体管M5与M7对称。
该栅极驱动单元电路的扫描方向通过正向扫描控制信号U2D和反向扫描控制信号D2U这一对相互反相的恒压信号进行控制,U2D取高电平、D2U取低电平时进行正向扫描,反之进行反向扫描。但是,U2D和D2U相互反相的特性使得维持控制节点产生模块4中M5和M7两颗薄膜晶体管长期受到符号相反的偏压应力,产生方向相反的阈值电压漂移,在切换扫描方向之后会降低上拉控制节点维持模块5的维持能力,降低了电路的可靠性,也增加了电路的复杂性。
